Two questions: Is this the same as a bio pad? and is this pad healthy?

I haven't used the bio pad, but this one seems to be as good as the one that I paid a lot more money for from www.backpainalternatives.com

It is not the same. I believe it is better. It is more flexible, less expensive, and uses natural jade (as compared to amethyst). Also, I have more confidence in the company behind it. The other product makes statements on its website which are either incorrect or misleading. The therasage pad is extremely healthy, both in terms of being proactive for your health and in addressing a variety of chronic health issues.

I have no idea what a Bio Pad is, but FAR heat is very therapeutic... In addition the EMF radiation from this pad is extremely low, which makes it more healthy than most heating pads as well.

I don't know what a biopad is but I have bought a few of these. My husband uses it every morning because his back is so stiff. It, I know does penatrate with that deep heat, the feeling you get if you were to lay on warm concrete after getting out of a pool kind of. Bought a few for friends and family too. It is just heated Jade stones so don't see how it could possibly be unhealthy as they do massages with heated stones too

No, the Bio mat is at bio-mats.com and they are EXPENSIVE. The smallest one was $650 plus $40 for standard shipping (I don't trust anyone who charges $40 for shipping a pad - ripoff) and quickly go up into the thousands of dollars. Plus, the web site makes some pretty wild claims - everything from weight loss to preventing cancer. I would stick with Therasage. It works on the same principle of infrared heat without electromagnetic radiation you get from the plug in head pads with the wires in them (which is linked to cancer/leukemia).

I don't remember. The pad has never gone bad. In the past we had to replace the control units--just one, it must have been defective. I have had it a long time

I don't have a temperpedic (but my mattress does have a layer of memory foam) but I don't believe this pad is a "thermal" as you described. This pad was designed to breath...not sure how they do that considering it is supposed to be water proof. I'm laying on it now reading and I can feel it warm up, so there is some transfer of body heat. However, it doesn't make me hot and uncomfortable and I run hot sleeping. The sides are a mesh fabric...probably where it gets its air from. It is relatively inexpensive so I would probably give it a try and return it if you are unhappy with the purchase. If you are using Prime the return is free if you drive it to the delivery service it was delivered to you from...UPS or USPS. I've done it several times and never had a problem. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know how it will hold up but it seems nicely made. Good luck to you.

I returned it. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are looking for a heating pad - go with the original . There is also a "shawl" size heating pad that is nice - its kinda like a blanket.

The bio spray is essential to the design of the piddle place and without would make it very similar to a puppy pad that needs to be changed regularly because of odor. The pad is made out of PBC plastic so it is machine washable. I didn't replace mine for 6 months.

No you don't . It would probably interfere with the contact with your skin. You have to be sure the skin is clean and dry so the pads will stick. Eventually the pads will wear out & you can purchase replacements through the company. Pretty affordable.

Can't say more than what the other people who have already replied said. It's just a thin little pad. I would highly recommend grabbing one of the other pads here on Amazon to place on top. There is a nice $18~ one that has around 1k reviews.The pad that comes with this is a nice gesture but I wouldn't rely on it.

yes, I love this product. It is the most comfortable one pad that I've tried. Well stick to this product.

If you like the pad with much gel, this is good one. After using, carefully remove it and your skin look clean. the gel lasts several months of usage with me. I always rinse it under tape water and let it dry about 30 seconds then cover it with attached plastic (when it's still moist).

It's a genuine scotch pad. It's not the thicker ''industrial'' pad that was sold years ago. If you want the ''original'' thicker, it's probably sold at mechanical supply stores.

It is a great desk pad. I have encountered no problems cleaning it. It has a matte finish that does show anything oily immediately but, a damp cloth removes everything nicely.

I think it is, but not 100% sure. There were no odors (as others claim). I have a few foam pads, and there is absolutely NO comparison with the quality of this pad. The consistency is very different and I don't think it poses any risks to my baby. He absolutely loves it and I wish I would've purchased sooner. Good luck.

I wish my memory was as good as yours. I felt for continuing use that the medium setting was fine. I thought the High setting was OK when you first put it on, but that it did get quite warm. Of course this is subjective, my hot might be your medium, but for the price I think it is an all around good pad.

I purchased one. I only used it once last year but worked well and look forward to using it more this summer. You want to make sure inside is free from dust/dirt before putting pad inside. Just keep sealed even when not using and pad is clean also. I like mine

My wife uses the living daylights out of her pad, many times more use than a normal person would ever use it. Like multiple times a day for chronic pain relief, all night sessions even. And it's not even 7 months old, yet it still feels and performs like new. Fast high heat, solid firm feel yet flexible for wrapping, she can't say enough about how good this purchase was. Hope that helps you decide.

Yes it is. Also bio balls which are small plastic balls that create a surface for good bacteria to grow. Plastic scouring pads work too.

Thanks. Happy there are others making effort to vote with purchases on environment and health. I like the pads because reusable but I know it's always a trade off with production waste of energy, etc
