I have the extra large one & I boil it in my canner. Perfect size. I just let it on the stove. I was told by the company to bring it to a boil then keep it at 160 temp for 10-15 minutes before applying. Also told whenever I'm done using it & ready to pack it away for awhile to put it in a plastic bag & freeze it, never let it dry out. This works miracles for my Fybromyalgia, bursitis in hip & lower back pain. It's the same thing I use in PT.

you heat in boiling water. wrap product in towel and apply and cover with a blanket to keep warmth in. You might need more than 1 towel if they are thin. Product give improves circulation I was told by my physical therapist. So you should do on a regular basis.

Hello Same A., hmmm this is pretty large to be trying to "wrap" around a knee..it is so substantially made, and thus a bit stiff to consider a "wrap"...I drop it into a big soup pot full of boiling water for a few minutes until all the husks absorb the hot water and fill out the channels in the pad, hold it over the sink to drain off the most water, then encase it in a big towel. The heat keeps releasing and releasing for a long time. Its awesome. I've used it in massage therapy for clients for many years...very effective for prolonged moist heat. good luck.

First I worm it in a Microwave for about 40 seconds. It works better if it is Warm. I put the Hole Jar in with top off.Then I use my 2 fingers and work it into the Shoe or Boot. Use a little. Better doing 2 Coats waite a couple of hours between coats,and reapply only every Month depending on your use of Shoe or Boot.

well it certainly gets hot. I don't see why you couldn't put it on your knees. Just put something a little heavy; like a pillow to press the heat on knees. This pad is so much bigger tha sunbeams.

I do not have an answer as I've only used the wrap for heat therapy. however, i'm sure the brand's website would be of help.

You place the pad on your hip ot thigh ( have used it both ways), the long strap wraps around your hips and the small one around your thigh. Put a small towel in between the wrap and your skin, otherwise you can get frost bite.

Much easier apply the wax while sitting on the floor lined with old papers .legs open place the warmer near to you. Put on extra large disposable panty so you can slide expose only the targeted area to be applied. Apply the pre wax oil n pat dry with tissue followed by body powder to reduce the heat sensation :-D

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

Even a web search revealed nothing about what you're supposed to do with this tape. I put it on the heat pads and will hope for the best. I'd suggest putting it down on the heating pads where you think you'll want the most heat.

I don't think it'll be a good knee warmer. Its relatively thin (perhaps to keep cool while you work out). Has the thickness of a beret, or two fleece jackets layered over each other. Very polyester-y in feel as well, so I don't think that traps heat well.

You should wrap it for best results. First of, it will fall off if you don't wrap it. Second, it works best when wrapped, as the heat generated by body will help to redistribute the fat, which at the same time will make skin looks smoother. It won't eliminate the cellulite, but will look a lot better. PS: you don't want to not wrap it with plastic as it will get dry and won't produce results

We use a cotton cloth (old t-shirt or sock) - Just as a previous answer listed, you are cleaning and applying at the same time. You will need a few pieces of cotton. Last year, we tried a cotton applicator on a handle (Brand name Bona) and that worked well - if you want to save your knees from hurting! We agree with the previous answers - no nylon, polyester or rayon cloth at all.

I rub it on my knees and my elbows after I am done with my feet. Then, at the endI do massage it into my hands. It softens them all. It is very dry in Alaska in the fall and winter, so it is a great help. Also, " The Gardener's bar or salve" is very good also.

you follow the directions to heat it in the microwave, then use a wooden stick (something like a tongue depressor) and spread it on the area to be waxed, let it cool then pull it off. I apply it in patches about 2inches X 2inches. Smaller on really sensitive areas. If you have never had a wax before do it professionally first and watch how they do it.

I wouldn't use a wrap for arthritic knees, I would opt for getting a neoprene type knee sleeve. It will be more comfortable and stay put when you have it on, these aren't for wearing for long periods of time, they are to be worn very tight and only looped around your knees for weightlifting support.

Put your boots in a low oven, lowest setting, let your boots get warm (not hot) smear the product on. As much as your boots will absorb. Done

it does smell when you first apply it, but the smell goes away within a couple of minutes. You can use it every three hours, however I never have knee pain so I am not able to recommend it for that purpose.

Hello Kristy! Thank you for your interest in an A to P Total Joint Wrap. As of now, there is not a soft ice option. We have found that soft ice/gel does not stay cold as long as regular ice. We suggest that after you take your A to P Total Joint Wrap out of the freezer, wait about 5 to 10 minutes before putting it on. The ice will soften a bit and will conform comfortably around the knee. As for the wash instructions, they can be found at www.a-pwraps.com/faq. We hope this information helps! Thank you, A to P Total Knee Wraps
