To activate ThermaCare wraps, tear open the sealed pouch, expose the heat cells to air to start the chemical reaction, then apply the wrap with the darker heat cells facing your skin, ensuring the area is clean and dry, and it will begin heating within minutes, reaching full therapeutic warmth in about 30 minutes for hours of relief.
Step-by-Step Activation & Application:
Open the Pouch: Tear open the airtight pouch just before you’re ready to use it; don’t open it ahead of time.
Expose to Air: Once opened, the wrap’s heat cells (discs) will start to activate as they come into contact with oxygen.
Prepare Skin: Make sure the skin where you’ll apply the wrap is clean, dry, and free of lotions or moisturizers.
Position the Wrap: Place the wrap on your pain area, ensuring the darker heat cells are directly against your skin.
Secure: For back/hip wraps, use the adhesive or velcro to attach it firmly (don’t over-tighten); for others, place over light clothing if sensitive.
Wait for Heat: Allow up to 30 minutes to reach therapeutic temperature, though it starts warming right away.
Important Tips:
Don’t Microwave: Never put it in the microwave or any other heat source.
Check Activation: If it’s not warm after 30 minutes, it might have been exposed to air too long; throw it out and use a new one.
Wear Time: Use for up to 8 hours in a 24-hour period for most products, following specific instructions for menstrual wraps.

Try these Tipsfor Relieving Back Pain
Did you know that about 80 percent of adults in the US experience lower-back pain at some point? It could be from lifting something heavy, playing with kids, or even sleeping in the wrong position, but the end result is a painful back. For the most part, lower back pain doesn’t last too long and gets better over time, but here are a few extra tips for dealing with back pain along with heat therapy.
Exercise:It may surprise you, but one study tested adults who suffered from back pain and found that exercise actually helped to reduce the pain. While you should consult with a doctor to avoid worsening any injuries, there are plenty of back-friendly exercises that can help alleviate pain.
Massage:Sure, massages are a great way to unwind and reward yourself, but they can also help with lower back pain. They also help with short-term pain and function, according to an American College of Physicians review of 26 trials.
Acupuncture:You might not think of feeling like a pincushion as fun, but acupuncture could be a huge help for back pain. Evidence is limited on how it helps short-term back pain, but a review of 32 studies has shown acupuncture to be moderately effective for more chronic lower back pain.
