How long can the pad last?

Not sure. I am still using the first one. I bought several, because I was afraid they might be hard to find. That was for three bathrooms with hard water.

Honestly I only use each pad only once, but I have mainly done so because I feel like they get too gross (I moved into a house and used on toilets with grimey rings). I have to say regardless they are worth it. My Dad used one of mine at his house and then bought a lot of them from Amazon immediately; he even wanted to invest in them and could not believe he never heard of them before. There just is nothing like it that I have seen for removing unsightly stains I once thought were permanent.

I don't know. I think it depends on how bad your water is. If you have iron (rust stains), you'll be using the pads more often. We have calcium. I use one pad for toilets and one for sinks. I've gotten at least a half dozen uses from each. When I'm done, I rinse it and let it dry flattened out. Then keep it in a labeled baggie. It's also going to depend on how many toilets you have.

I used only once as it took a while to clean..though my bowl is pretty clean.....it requires some labor hand work..I gave up so I do not know how long it lasts..sorry for not giving you the answer...

I use each pad once, for three toilets, then I throw it away since it starts to disintegrate toward the end. They work great though, love them!

After reading another review I want to state that these pads are NOT MEANT to be used to "clean" the toilet bowl. The toilet bowl should be cleaned with the proper cleaner before you use the Shaw Pad. These pads are meant to be used to remove the "hard water ring" only. You wouldn't use a pumice stone to clean the toilet bowl!! The same is true with these pads.

Its good for a puppy or small dog such as a chihuahua. For a puppy I had to change the pad about 4 times a day till they got older. I also take my dogs outside. This was used while I was at work puppies can hold it an hr for every month plus an hr. So 4 months of age 5 hrs. Now my chihuahuas are almost a yr they can hold it. They go outside at 7am and 4pm n and again at 9pm. They only use the pads if its dire need. I do recommend this because they love to rip the pads. If you see your pup trying to rip make a sound like ah ah. Something telling them no but don't use the word no. Good luck.

They are a very good replacement product for your device - my best guess is that each pair of pads has about 30 uses before they need to be replaced.

I don't think so....but, the time it is warm feels really good. The only pads I have ever found to last a longer period of time are the electric ones.

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

Yes. The pads can be used many times, they have a long life I have used them for over a year.

This pad plugs in and has a long cord. The cord can detach from the pad near your waist so if you need to move around, you don't have to keep removing the pad--just disconnect & go. When you return, plug back in & it will heat again. I use my pad daily & they last between 12 to 18 months. Hope this helps!

the pads can be used for a couple of weeks before you would need to throw them out. The stick best the first time u use them and stay on.

This pad is very durable. I use it to cover my bed where my 16 year old Chihuahua sleeps with me. It has been washed many times and holds up well. I have 2 so I can swap out when I wash one.It fits all the way across my Queen bed. Hope this helps.

I never cleaned or replaced them and used it for about four months fairly hard. I did not need it any more and sold it to a friend who uses it and still works great with origanl pads. It is a great product and would suggest it.

I had by Grifiti wrist pad for a year now, with no fraying. It's used approximately 40 hours/week.

There are three pads as shown in the photo. I don't know how long it will last. I don't want to use it frequently because it tends to make a mess with little pieces of lint. I have only used the black one. Perhaps the other two are better.

Yes, there are several different replacement pads available for sale on Amazon in different sizes. The one's that come with the unit should last a while. I stick mine back onto the plastic sheet and then throw them in a zip lock back; releasing the air also seems to make them last a but longer.

i have had mine for a long time 3 years or more i'm sure, but has been taken care of. i don't believe any other pad replaces it. great product!!!!!!

I purchased my box years ago. Still use them on family and share the pads with friends. The expiration date on my box is April 2016. So they'll last me several years all together.

It lasts about 2 months. I usually run out of the clearing tonic early though because I use too much. I'm working on not soaking the cotton pad and so far so good. I'm getting a longer use than usual, it's right where it should be this time. haha.

I typically use them about 50 times before replacing both pads and mat. The adhesive loses it's stickiness and the foil on the pads wears along where you fold it.
