does it have clay beads or gel or something else inside?

The Thermalon web site states it has "advanced bead technology". The beads feel like they are the size of coffee beans. I don't know their composition.

It feels like sand. It is really a great product for sore muscles, tension and of course for pain management. It is made very well, and I just put it in the microwave for a minute or so, and thats it. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I believe it has some kind of beads, however it heats up really fast in the Micro in less than 1.30 min.

Well, it certainly is not a gel inside. Feels like hard and dense like small stones about 1/8" in diameter and it has some density to it. People who failed to follow instructions regarding its care and have had it burst open have reported that it has small white beads inside, but didn't offer a guess on what they are made of.

You're welcome. You may have read this elsewhere, but if you buy one I would strongly suggest some type of homemade cover for it as the product has nylon (or something like it) in the cover and it will pill in short order. Besides preventing it from looking old before its time, adding your own cover (section of an old pillowcase or such) will keep body oils off the unit which can produce hot spots and cause bursting when you heat it, so I've read.

No, there aren't any beads in it. I have found Phisoderm Anti-Blemish Body Wash to be better and not to have the tingle factor that this one has. No beads in Phisoderm Anti-Blemish Body Wash either.

Yes it has the micro beads & about 20 or so inches long. I loaned it out & can't measure it. I love it!

It looks like there is clay inside. I was told to initially soak the HotPac for 24 hours to fully expand. Then, when not in use, keep in air tight plastic bag. If not in use over longer interval, freeze it. Otherwise, it will dry out and lose its capacity to hold heat.

Some kind of foam. Warning, I had to go buy additional beads at Kmart which were cheaper than these.

The rest is filled with what I assume is cotton while the butt of it has heavy beads to ensure it stays sitting up I hope that helped

The clay has a taupe color. It is in a very fine powder. Wonderful to use on your hair for hydration and also on the skin.

The documentation in the box says it does, but by the time you get it it is pretty dehydrated. Just fill it up with distilled water and the beads re-expand to fill the plastic box.

The interior bottom is glazed and otherwise it is clay. I am very satisfied and have used it at least 50 times.

It's not stuffed with beads, it's just soft, probably just regular stuffed animal stuffing I would assume..

The one I received had the pouches filled with plastic beads not sand. Hope this helps. I use this vest regularly and am please with it.

Mj, it does not include the remineralization gel, you need to buy it separately :)

Wet clay is a pretty good descriptor. It's more of a paste then gel like other products I have tried. Still the best product for the price in my view.

Ours contains gel beads which is designed to dissipate the heat. The mattress has been great!

its natural clay but you can use it the same way you use polymer clay it holds paint extremely well and you can make charms and other things with it
