If it is a moist/dry heating pad, how does it produce moisture?

I have not used it in "moist" mode but as I interpret the instructions it appears that one must dampen the heated side of the pad cover. I have not tried this and am wary of it. Dry heat has been very effective for my problem, so i haven't needed to try it damp.

It does not produce moisture on its own. You must introduce moisture via a damp cloth. It works fine that way.

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.

The heating pad comes with a fleece-like cover that can be washed in a washing machine. This cover creates the "moist" part of the moist heat-pad effect.

Husband puts the pad in our microwave for 80 seconds...(figuring different microwave ovens work differently). this makes our pad nice and warm and moist. He says it holds the heat comfortably for an hour. (he has lower back problems)...

I just wet my skin and apply the heated pad. It seems to be the right amount of moisture and doesn't ruin the thermalon pad. I love it!

You do not soak in water before use, as you heat it in the microwave the moisture is drawn out of the beads inside the pack. I place my pad on a paper plate before putting in the microwave to heat up and there is always a small amount of moisture on the plate before I wrap it on myself. This heat pad is washable. Follow the directions on the packaging and make sure that it is dry before you heat to use it again.

It is actually a dry heat...probably could just dampen a towel and place underneath the pad, if you wanted it to be moist.

This just keeps the pads moist. When they get dry it actually hurts to use. Don't put a lot on the pad, just a small amount to keep it moist.

Air is pulled through the humidifier and into the plenum. I use the heated air to get more moisture in the house.

There is a small piece of fabric on one side of the pad that you can take in and out you can wet it wring out excess and place back inside the pad and turn to desired setting...the fabric feels like felt to me so if you wanted a bigger area of moistures you could always buy the material to cut a piece that's true to size of heating pad....I was nervous buying this...but I absolutely love it with no regrets...I don't understand how ppl feel it doesn't get hot.....it gets very very hot to me...I love it

This one is a moist heat pad, far superior. It is the closest to the therapy one receives at a professional physical therapy location. It's well worth the extra dollars. My wife and I use it, and are very satisfied with it.

I had this one for years and finally it died and I bought this same one again. It heats to the exact temp that you want for the exact amount of time you want. I keep it in my bed during the winter and have it set to shut off after 20 min. It is a large somewhat flexible pad - you can place it how you want it. It is moist heat and not dry heat. I love my pad. I made my own cover for it out of a towel because I liked the terry cloth fabric better than the one that came with it.

It can bunch up and does. It is large and the cover has no closures. I only use dry heat. The real issue is with the control device. This is my second heating pad from Body Med. The first stopped working in less than 2 years and this one is a few months old and cannot reliably maintain the heat.

Sorry Rick I don't know. What does a heating pad do to a memory foam pillow?

The heating pad itself is covered in flexible plastic. But there is a washable soft cloth cover over that as well as a slim foam pad over one side.

no i have no idea where the moisture come from and it does not get any thing wet im really happy with mine the only thing i can say bad about it is its not bendable so its just good if you need it flat for a back leg stomach

You can use it dry, hence dry heat. Or, you can spray some water on the pad then use it, hence moist heat.
