Does anyone have the neck &amp; shoulder pad and does it work well. How much area does it cover?

Yes and it does cover the neck and the shoulder areas. The heat is adjustable from 113 F to 149 F.

No, this one is too big for that. Plus you are not supposed to fold them, I'm pushing it with using it in a bean bag. I know this brand offers a smaller one but even that one is really too big for the neck area. For neck you'll probably have to look for one that is just for the neck, or use a microwavable one. If you really want this particular pad, you can use a pillow under it to treat your shoulders and neck.

Not a huge area, ankles to knees is good, that also keeps it from sensitive areas. This was for my wife and full legs were fine but seemed a little overpowering. The back of the neck and shoulders seemed to burn.

gave one to my mother-in-law 23 months ago that just this past week stopped working. She used it 3-4 times a week and had nothing but praise for it. She's often commented it's the best heating pad she's ever had. I just ordered her another one. She primarily uses hers on the neck/shoulder area and has never mentioned any problem with the fit.

Yes, this product is very configurable and is easy to adjust to fit your needs. I don't often use the shoulder pad, but it works great!

This was a gift for my son. He has been using it on his back and absolutely loves it. He said the moist heat really helps his back. I do not know about the should / neck area.

It depends on how it fits. If you have the proper size there should be SOME padding over the shoulder (rather than strap). It is nearly the same thickness throughout, narrowing down a bit. If it fits way too small, there won't be much pad on the shoulder. It isn't going to be very load bearing and it isn't really thick - just enough to deaden a blow a little. For what it is designed for it works great and we're satisfied with it and TMAS as well.

They sell extensions for the arms that attach to the bottom of the shoulder pads. They extend about 6 inches down the arm, I personally don't use them, you very rarely get hit there.

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.

I would personally feel comfortable using it on my upper back and neck area, yes. I'd start on a very gentle setting for the neck muscles, only because they tend to be super tight and tender. There are also helpful pictures and diagrams that come along with it showing sticker placement on different parts of the body. As long as you don't have one of the pads straddling your spine, I'd think you'd be ok. Just go easy at first.

The pad comes in several sizes and we have three - love them and the mini is big enough to cover either your shoulder, lower back, spine, and you can then move it around if you want to cover more. We have used three different sized ones for several years and even loaned them out to family when needed. They have held up very well. No problems at all. The oblong is more narrow and can be used on a sore neck and can be strapped on to an arm or leg or around your waist ..

My dogs neck is 19 with lots of room to spare I stretch the collar out to 25" (counting buckle too) but I'm missing 6-7" of collar thanks to someone getting bored one day.Over a year later and its still the best on the Pyr and the blood hound method of training yet! (just remember to turn it off or you will be burning through battries quick!)Hope this helps,MBP

9"x24" usually covers everything and is multi-purpose for all body parts. They do also have a specific neck/shoulder one if you search for it.

Just layed on it 20 minutes ago. Good for neck and sub occipital areas haven't tried on low back but heard it works well there also from friends :)

Hell no! lol! that's the only problem I had with it. I got water damage one time before trying to figure out how to use my neck strap with it. I would suggest that you get the one with the 2 sleeves, its more comfortable and not awkward.

I haven't put it to too harsh of a test yet, but it holds pretty tight on my neck and I doubt it would move around much no matter how sweaty I got. That said, I have a 17.5" neck. The earbud fits pretty tightly as well. As long as the actual moisture didn't damage the system, I believe it will work as desired. Hope this helps.

It's not too big to wear around your neck. My 90 year old mother uses it all the time and has no problem.
