What is it made of - beads, rice, gel or something else? I don't like gel.

The wrap is not made with gel. No sure if rice like the steam heat, does have slight odor when heated, but worth it when in pain never have to worry about falling asleep with electric pad on.

They are beads but beware of ordering this, it doesn't come in like the picture shows. Its a long tube like sock with beads.

I'm not sure *precisely* but it's not gel; it's more like uncooked rice. The website describes it as "natural grains," whatever that is!

It is a very fine mesh nylon fabric. It does not melt, the red beads are glued on and prevents the fabric from flying off. I do not know what the beads are made of, but could be plastic or silicone. I do not remember the package listing what it was made of. Hope this helps.

it's a very in between synthetic. imagine heavier duty disposal hospital gown material. I was disappointed by the material honestly. it feels like a freebie, not an item to be sold.

it had a sticky / messy gel. I choose to not use the gel after it was so messy. I would have sent it back. However I had cut and altered the product

Once you mix it, it's a gel. Doesn't run at all, that's what I like about it!

none they are all the same, like shellac and gel, just two diff names for the same thing

I returned this item so I don't know what it was made out of exactly. I don't recall an exact list coming with it anyway, though I could be wrong about that. But, I can tell you, that it had a particularly strong chemical odor that did not go away for the week we did have it. It also tore just from positioning it around on the bed.

Silica gel is a granular, vitreous, porous form of silicon dioxide made synthetically from sodium silicateworks by the adsorbtion of water in the air clinging to the silica gel's surface. It can only adsorb moisture from the air it comes in contact with. You won't see these beads become swollen and soggy; they can't grab and hold that much water. I believe the weight ratio of gel to the amount of water it can hold is about 40 to 1. So 40 grams of gel could hold onto about a gram of water. Silica gel works best in high humidity and poorly at low humidity.

Not Gel... more like a soft rubber. The waffel bottom is what gives the "cushion" and they work fairly well for many patients except when they are too big for the shoe.

I have no clue what it is made out of. All I know is that it was a gift for my daughter in law and their first baby. Sorry I couldn't be of any help to you.

I'm not sure what material it's made out of, but the first time I used it, I had trouble with sticking and the cakes fell apart.

I honestly am not sure what it said it was made of, when I got it. But it seems like nylon - (it's slick and comes clean better than my reusable teabags. It keeps from staining like teabags as well). I hope that helps.

I am sorry. I don't like rice. I never cook it. As with everything else I would just follow directions.

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

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

It is in the form of little white beads. This product works wonderful, you will not be disappointed.

While I haven't tried to taste this it's made out of zogoflex which is essentially a fancy softer rubber. My dog things this toy is the bees knees regardless of the taste.
