This is a terrific therapeutic neck compress. Its shape is just right and it doesn't have that rice-type smell you can get after microwaving wraps filled with natural materials. The shape is far superior to a plain cylindrical wrap--no bunching of the filling at the ends, and it conforms to the neck. I have one of these at work and one at home.

I was surprised by how warm and moist the wrap stayed, but I found the weight problematic in keeping the wrap in place. I think some kind of velcro or thicker strap may be necessary if you wrap it around your abdomen to prevent it from slipping. Works well enough for shoulders and neck though. Stays nice and warm for about 2 hours, but only lasts 3 times in the microwave before you need to let it rest. I have not tried it cold. Next time I might go for the disposable hot/cold patches. But if you use compress wraps a LOT, then this is the way to go. Alternatively, you can use an old pillowcase filled with beans and microwave it. It works in a pinch.

I love the fact that this is so portable. I even take it to work! It feels really good when warmed in the microwave for a minute and 1/2. I haven't used it cold, but that would probably be good to, I just like the heat.
