The description says it provides moist heat by capturing and releasing moisture from the air. So is it moist when you use it and does it stay moist?

It is not damp to the touch but provides moist heat. You have to let it set out after each use and it will recapture moisture from the air for the next use. It doesn't hold heat as long as I would have hoped but it des work.

It doesn't feel wet nor dry. The idea of moisture is to capture and release heat. Water can store heat better than iron-steel. We are dealing with a thin film on beads that adds up. The moist heat lasts a longer than soapstone that I origninally used as a bed warmer but could burn the sheets if not very careful.

I run mine twice a day for 20 minutes and I can not tell that it actually adds any moisture into the room. I think it dissipates as fast as it emits into the air. Hope this helps you.

Probably depends on your climate. If you get a lot of moister might get water damage. I have mine in Northern CA in our Garage and it works well. I've only had it for a couple of months...I love it.

There is only moisture build up when you use it in dehumidify mode. When using in air conditioner mode, you have to vent the hot air out a window. I think some have vented the hot air into a closet but it comes with a window attachment for the window.

Oh no - should never wet it! Doesn't need water to create moist heat. Contains "100% natural grains" according to the box. Smells good when heated, but I imagine they would go bad very quickly if wet. You can clean the cover with a damp cloth if necessary. Better yet, wrap it in a clean, light-weight towel to keep it clean.

I normaly use it when lightly wet. But i have used it with just a bit moist hair and it works well. Cheers.

No, it is not moist in itself but moisture forms when the wrap as been on your skin for awhile. It works very well!

It does retain heat a bit. Not terrible though if you use good cotton sheets. The comfort is worth it.

The way that this thermophore hot pad works is to draw moisture from the air in order to deliver moist heat. When you lay on the pad, it is not able to get moisture from the air. It still works, only it will be a dryer heat. Also, due to the fact that this pad has some internal structure that helps weigh it down to mold to the body, laying on it over time can compromise the integrity of the pad. Still, having said all of that, I do sometimes lay on the pad, and lean back against it. If you are going to lay on it, it's best to let it heat up exposed to air, then put it under you.

Yes - it has a polymer lining that keeps the moister out. Mine has not been exposed to excessive rain nor have I dropped it in any puddles but it will keep your things dry.

My wife never has used this heating pad in a moist way. Sorry. Some heating pads have a foam pad you can wet and apply to the pad and it then provides moist heat. This pad does not have one of those pads, however. Best Regards, Rick

I used mine in several different directions, and it worked very well. In fact, I just bought a second one. I used mine dry the first time, and then tried a little bit of water. It worked well both dry and damp. Perhaps the manufacturer can answer your question. I found them very easy to communicate with.

Mine is installed in my bathroom right out side the shower and was recommended to me specifically for the bathroom. I am very happy with the performance of my unit in our fairly large airy bathroom. I don't recall any warnings about moisture from shower/bath, but I do have a 340 CFM exhaust fan so moisture really isn't an issue in my Bath. My wife loves it and frankly that's what matters, ya know..Happy wife, happy life!.

Mine works well. I'm not in a super humid environment, but I keep it next to the stove with lots of heat, vapors, etc... and I haven't had any problems yet.

It does get pretty warm right where the heat comes out. I have touched it before, but it didn't burn me. It is still pretty warm tho.

I haven't tried it.....not sure what the moisture would do to it. Sorry couldn't help.

I have not used it that way, but the directions do say that the outer cover can be wetted for moist heat.
