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.

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

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.

I use it on my thighs and wear the leg sweat bands. I purchased a pair of zaggora.com hot pants to wear with it. My skin felt soft and smooth after putting it on. I put it on my behind too. You only need a little. I say a quarter size per thight depending on leg size. If you use to much it will be itchy and feelings like burning. I stated in another comment. Ive bought 4 bottles since trying it in November. Love it, must have for the gym.

Yes, this will completely wrap around your knee. I used it after my knee replacement and my knee was very swollen.

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large. I think that is what I measured as well Dorene...

I have seen some youtubers do this, but I would couple with a heat protectant as well. I know I do :)

Basically, you want to start with a full strap width above the knee, bring the long end back to your starting point, thereby anchoring the strap. Then wrap tightly from top to bottom, overlaping the strap you just wrapped by 1/2 the width of the wrap. When you have wrapped all the way below the knee with a full strap width, make 1 or 2 cross wraps where you wrap from the bottom of the knee diagonally up and around, completing with a lateral wrap around the top of the knee, then take the left over end under the last wrap and pull tight. You will want to remove the strap immedeatly after your lift.

Thanks for visiting our store! The kneecap opening measures about 3" un-stretched and about 4" when fully stretched (but still able to securely close the wrap over the knee). This wrap has a dual function and can be used to either warm or chill the knee area as needed.Yes item should chill the area around the opening

Not that comes with it. It is basically a knee brace with two inserts that goes in pouches on both sides of the knee. You have to bend a disc that is embedded in the jelly pack and that will begin immediately turning it to a heated crystal warmer. FYI - it does get hot enough to turn you knee pretty red.

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.

Like others said. Rub it in with bare hands. No extra heat source is needed. It will make your hands feel good too like they just had a lotion bath. I usually let the boots rest for a while and then apply a 2nd coat. Clean the excess off with a clean shoe brush and/or buffing cloth. The boots might retain a waxy/oily feel to them which will go away over time.

My wife had a knee replacement two months ago and used it very day for the first couple of weeks and occasionally since. It can be fitted to some extent. She used it with her leg extended and it wrapped around the knee just fine. You'll like it. We also use it for backaches and anything that needs cold therapy. The white side is super cold. We usually place the blue side to the skin initially, then when it seems most of the cold has dissipated, we flip it over to the white side for another dose of cold.

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.
