Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Easy to use, fits nicely over neck and shoulders, washable cover, provides soothing moist or dry heat for tight,aching muscles, heat in microwave 1 1/2 min. on medium setting, heat wrap stays warm about 30 min., or use cold (place wrap in plastic bag in freezer for 1-2 hrs) to reduce pain and swelling. My husband likes it too. Worthy every penny!
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I use this daily at work and whenever I take it off, someone else grabs it and heads for the microwave. It is great for those problem shoulder areas you get when you have to sit at a desk all day long. I love that you can wash the cover since I just can't keep it to myself! I just wish it was a little bit bigger.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Just has an odd smell, but the moist heat is awesome and I just overlook the smell.

Has a slight smell to it, but it is quickly overlooked when you feel the soothing heat relax you!!!
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I make heat packs and sell them to friends and the health food store. Someone wanted me to make one similar I bought this to see how it was made. No way could I do this for what it cost to purchase. So I gave a few people this website to get one from here. Hope thy like it like I do. Really helps me since I am on the computer a lot. Thanks!

A nice way to end the day.

Easy to use and heat up. I heat it up for my spouse to relieve stress.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I bought one of these as a gift for my friend and one for myself. I'm in a stressful job and I hold the stress in the my neck and upper back. The warm and soothing wrap helps ease my stress.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Have the large heating blanket and love it however this one has a strong scent especially when heated - too strong. Disapointed with product for this reason
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I've used the fragrant wrap and the unscented, and I have to admit, I like the unscented better because sometimes the aroma is more than I need. Watch out if you have mice in your house...they like the grains and will make a mess...
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Feels good on the shoulders but is a bit heavy
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I gave this as a gift to my father in law and he seemed to really like it for neck tension

This product is wonderful to use for yourself and a beautiful gift to give to anyone that you love that already has everything. I have owned many versions of this kind of product and this one is the best that I have found.

heat in micro and use to wrap around shoulders or stuff under the sheets on the bed to keep toasty warm.

after a stressful day or a day working outside, its wonderful to ease the stress or the stressed muscles. Warm to the temp. desired or chilled its a wonderful relaxer.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Best product and price value
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I bought this for my husband because he has chronic neck pain. He loves the shape and weight of the product because it cradles his neck unlike others that are more like tube socks filled with pellets. He also commented on the way the heat transfer is even and deep without being hot.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I bought this for my mother who lives up north where it is very cold. She likes to heat it up in the evenings after she has shoveled snow or worked outside. It helps relieve tight muscles too.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Love that it comes in brown. Very nice to use at the end of a day working outside.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Bought 2 for Christmas gifts. One person really liked it, one not so much. Unfortunately, the zipper broke on one after the first use. I'll be returning it for exchange.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Nice after a long day's work sitting at my desk. Very nice for winter use - warms me right up even when the thermostat is not high. Microwave the pad until the temp you want, then put back in the cover and use. The heat is very subtle (unlike a heating pad, which is usually too hot) and radiates a long time. This is a good product!!
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I have not found this product to be very effective. It took numerous attempts to find the correct time and setting for the microwave warming. Even after several uses, I never seem to get it quite right.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
This warmer doesn't measure up to what I can put together with an old pillowcase and pearled barley. I had hoped to get a nice cover, but for me, the material is unpleasant to touch. For some unknown reason there is a metal zipper, so you must struggle the awkward, under-filled, crescent-shaped insert in and out of its flimsy cover every time you want to top up the heat. Item doesn't hold heat very well, so this is a downer.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Just follow the heating instructions for the microwave and you'll get soothing relief.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I love the size of this wrap as you can get the benefit of the warmth on your neck and shoulders as well. Unlike other commenters, I don't find it a big inconvenience to insert the wrap in the cover. I like the fact that you can take it out and wash the cover. Would recommend and/or buy as a gift.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
The product would have been great except for the zipper. You have to take the cover off to use it each time.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Requires more heating time with older microwave
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Fits so well around the neck. Stays warm for quite a while.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Soggy, warm blob that's not relaxing.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
One purchased for myself & I as a gift. We both loved it & used the wrap right away
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Very nice and comfortable. You can put the whole thing in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes and it's perfect.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I woke up with a stiff neck and this provided immediate relief. Have been using it successfully to prevent a re-occurence.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I gifted the wrap to our office receptionist. She loves it as an aid to keep her shoulders and neck relaxed. It also gives warm comfort when the outer office is a bit cold in the mornings.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I just love it because when I put the wrap in the microwave and warm it it keep me warm and makes my shoulders feel wonderful and relaxed.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Just what the tired but happy gardener needs.

We have other warmers like this, but not in this shape. My husband often has a kink in his neck and this is perfect for him.

Two days after I received the wrap, I woke up with a stiff neck. It took only moments to heat it up and wear it on my way to work. Bye bye stiff neck.

Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Would be nice if did not have to remove the cover to heat it but othere than that--it is great. I use it every day. Have sent one as a gift as well.

Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
It was a gift for my mother and she does get relief from it! Now if I could just convince her to use it more often.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Besides the obvious uses, I also use the wrap when I'm working long hours at my desk or riding long hours in the car.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I love this item! I have a heating pad but you need to be plugged in order to use it. So I really like the fact that I can use this item and still be able to walk around the house with it.
As a sewer, I was able to add some additional seams/stitches to hold the sand/particles in place better. Otherwise the inner contents all shift down from gravity. This is the only minor complaint I have.

Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I first bought one for my daughter who is always cold. I tried it out before I gave it to her and decided I wanted one too. It feels so good! I've draped it around my neck, which sometimes feels stressed, and to warm my feet. Yes, you do have to take the cover off before microwaving, but that's a minor inconvenience.

Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
This neck wrap is easy to use and feels so good. When I've had a long day, I heat it up, wrap it around my neck, grab a good book and relax.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Great after too much computer work!
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Absolutely awesome in relaxing the shoulders, neck due to tension and stress. The heat allows it to "get down into the areas" that hurt.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
The outside covering, although soft, was poorly sewn--the zipper seam was not sewn closed all the way. Also, the inside was poorly sewn as well--stitches started coming loose as I micro-waved it.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
My husband and I almost every morning start our day with this.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
It isn't comfortable especially when using for neck pain.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Very effective; easy to use except for being so heavy that some might not like it. Also having to put the cover back on after heating is rather a chore
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Attractive washable cover. Economically priced. Great anatomical fit
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
This was a gift to my husband and he's thrilled with it. The heat holds for a long time and he appreciates the warmth and the weight on his sore shoulders. It's almost like a pressure massage.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Aaaahhhhhh, if only you could wear this everywhere! It really helps neck and shoulder pain.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Love it!! I bought three for my daughter, daugther-in-law and myself for Christmas..
My daughter-in-law came to the house with hers wrapped around her neck..
I use it for knitting, sewing and going to bed. It takes the tension off my neck and shoulder area when using it..It such a relief and easy to use..
Thanks
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I bought this for my mom who has alot of discomfort in her shoulder. She told me it works great. Very comforting when heated and relaxes the muscle when cool. It is a great gift for anyone who needs some pampering.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I have one of my own which I purchased two years ago and it is wonderful! I purchased another for a gift but, to our surprise, and my embarrassment, it smells of mildew! Outside of the oder, the product still works well.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
relaxing
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Purchased for my father who has chronic neck pain because of arthritis. He enjoys the warmth and the area covered. Velcro closing might be better for arthritis sufferers. The zipper and removing/replacing the cover are difficult for elderly.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
It's great for getting kinks out of your neck.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I use this for the occasional stiff neck and when I feel a headache coming on. The wrap is so soothing - I can sense the muscles softening. I like being able to deal with these type of ordinary discomforts without medications.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
It is easy to use. Just zip the cover off and pop it in the microwave. It stays hot for over 30 minutes. Sometimes I just lay down with it and sometimes work on the computer. Either way it warms and soothes aching muscles.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Easy to warm up in the microwave. Warmth lasts a long time and hits the area between my shoulderblades, which is often sore and tight.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Shoulder and neck tension are eased away with this wrap. It gives immediate relief for arthritic aches and pains, too, so you might be able to avoid those over the counter meds.
A bonus - turn down your thermostat on those cold nights. This wrap takes the chill off.
Loved it so much I ordered a few for gifts for friends.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Busy mom and teacher uses this nightly to soothe tight neck muscles and warm up during our Wisconsin winters.

I bought this for my 8 month pregnant daughter and she loves it for soothing her neck and lower back

this worked well in the hospital as a great neck pillow and for comfort - has also worked traveling - and at home as a comfort wrap!
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Does a great job of relieving stress and pain on shoulders and neck. Wish I had discovered this product sooner!
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
This was a Christmas gift for a friend that suffers from migraines. She totally loved it and said it helps a lot.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Absolutely love the wrap. However having to take the inside bag out of the cover to heat in the microwave, and then put it back into the cover, is a bit of a pain.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Change design to allow heating in microware with cover on.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
Perfect for my whiplash-injured neck. Fits just right and doesn't slip off.
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
My daughter has been in the military for 10 years. She has had two tours to Afghanistan and has just been reassigned to the Middle East for a brief tour but will be gone for Thanksgiving. The 7th Thanksgiving away from home. But as she says, "It comes with the territory."
As she has moved up in rank the stress increases as any military veteran knows! We were talking and she had mentioned how the stress at times just makes her neck muscles twist into knots.
I saw the Stress Reliever on your website and decided to buy it for her. I was in a hurry because she was weeks away from leaving again. It arrived before its expected date and she was able to take it with her.
Last I heard it was working beyond what she had expected. She gets back to her room heats up the pack and just drapes it over her shoulders and the heat works its magic. She loves it!
Thanks for helping her!

Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
The warmth helps me sleep when I am tense or have an ache or pain. I think it's just very relaxing and nice when I'm watching tv or reading.

Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
This is great when heated in the microwave, but the inside has to be removed from the cover to do so. The cover has a metal zipper which can't go in the microwave. This extra step just makes heating a little more time consuming.
[3 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Tension Relief Wrap:
I have constant neck and shoulder pain from sitting in front of a computer all day and this wrap is wonderful at easing the pain. I just pop it in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and I've got about 30 minutes of moist heat therapy. It works great!
The one con is the slight smell from the grain they use for the filling but its something I've gotten used to and doesnt bother me at all. It smells very nutty.
