This Wearable Heating Pad Is $30 For Prime Members

No, you’re not imagining it — body aches and pain can be worse in the winter. Cold weather makes our blood vessels contract — meaning less circulation and more tightness — according to Raquelle Felder, licensed physical therapist and founder of San Diego Mobile Rehab and Physical Therapy. Because of this, “heat is a great way to keep your muscles warm and prevent stiffness during the cold months,” Felder previously told HuffPost, suggesting hot showers, warm blankets and electric heating pads. A versatile we foundthat reviewers are loving is this adjustable, wearable heating pad, currently up to 21% off for Prime members, for the first time in weeks. (You’ll get the better deal on the dark gray, though the eye-catching blue is also on sale.)

The wearable pad is curved to suit and heat your midsection even if you’re moving or lying on your side. The pad itself measures 24 inches long and 15 inches high, with an adjustable buckle strap measuring 32-47 inches. Because of the strap, you can keep the heat right where you want it, hands-free, even if you move or adjust your position.

“I can roll over and still have the heat on the area of my back where I am experiencing pain,” a reviewer with “severe back pain” wrote. “It was always hard to use a heating pad when laying on my side,” another said. “Now I can use the strap on this and lay comfortably on either side!” Stomach sleepers enjoy the pad too, noting, “you can sleep on your stomach and it still be on your back.”

People with chronic back pain that hinders their sleep say the pad is “like laying in heaven.”

A reviewer who’s currently in “a back brace for several compression fractures” wrote their pain is often so severe that medication doesn’t help them fall asleep. Still, “I wrap this ‘bad boy’ around my waist, set the heat setting and timer, and within minutes I feel the pain subside, my body relax, and off to sleep I go,” they wrote. The pad is also loved by people recovering from surgery, who experience migraines and use the pad for their head and neck. You can even flip the pad over to use on your stomach or lap, for soothing menstrual pain or other cramps and aches. “It’s like laying in heaven,” a reviewer with “constant” back pain wrote.

The straightforward, connected remote and easy-to-read LED screen gives you 9 heat options and 11 auto-off timer options, with the ability to “remember” your favorite settings so you can just press-and-go. Users say the cord is long enough they “don’t worry I’m going to accidentally tug it out,” when using the pad, noting that it heats up fast, keeps the temperature consistent and distributes the warmth all over, evenly.

It’s made from a skin-friendly fabric that’s so soft one reviewer says they use it under their head every night and “cannot tell it’s on my pillow.” And when it’s time for a cleaning, you can unplug the pad from the electric plug and remote and throw the body into the washing machine, to keep it fresh.

“I love this heating pad. It is comfortable to wear while I am sewing which helps relieve back pain from being in a fixed position for extended periods of time. The timer works really well. Wish I had purchased it sooner.” — Claudia J

“My pregnancy kicked my sciatica into high gear and I panic-ordered this pad. I LOVE all the different settings! I can start low and ramp up, and the belt is very adjustable over the growing baby bump. The fabric is also really soft, which is super pleasant. The cord to plug it in is definitely long enough for my purposes, either sitting on the sofa or wearing in bed, and I don’t worry I’m going to accidentally tug it out.” — Callie Rose

“This is the best back heating pad I have ever used. Currently I am in a back brace for several compression fractures in my spine. Not my idea of a good time and something I was totally unprepared to experience. Wow, the pain. At night especially I need relief to sleep. Medication can’t even dent the pain sometimes (as I understand it till they start to heal this is routine), so I wrap this ‘bad boy’ around my waist, set the heat setting and timer and within minutes I feel the pain subside, my body relax and off to sleep I go. Besides it offers support in my lower back too. You have to manage heat to an injury or you can undo the healing process. This pad with it’s ability to wrap around your waste and clip closed, and the timer on the control really makes this a great product to have especially at night to aid in going to sleep.” — DianeM
