Is this a heat as well as cold wrap?

The package states that it can be used as a heat wrap, but I never used this option.

Although I've only been using it cold, out of the freezer, the instructions say that ElastoGel Products offer moist, therapeutic heat when warmed with a microwave and soothing cold when chilled with a freezer.

Yes, you can use it either way I have tried both for my RA. (just follow the instructions do not over heat)

Yikes - pretty sure this would result in a melting pile of plastic/gel. You can keep them cool in the frig and then apply them. If you're looking for heat - use a different product....there's a microwavable or freezer product from Mother Love.

I've used several brands and can't tell any difference. Just for the fun of it, I set the heat to the lowest setting and sealed a zip loc sandwich bag. I've not had any second thoughts about this purchase. I've been through several lower priced sealers and wish I had started with this one.

In that case I don't recommend getting this one cause it is a lil thin. I live in texas so it doesn't get no where near as cold as it does there in nyc. I seen one that was a fleece fabric that my buddy bought and it looks a lot warmer than the one I bought. He also bought it off Amazon but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what he said the name of it was. It has strings that come out from the mouth piece to tighten down on your face and it looks very similar to the one I bought. Not sure if that helps any but it's the only way I can really explain what it looks like.

I would try w/of first and see. You can always wrap if your hands are sore. I really don't know for sure. Hope this helps

yes it is alright but you still have to wrap something around to keep the heat in.

No it's styafoam and if you heat in it , the warmer will melt. I hope this answers your question

The gel packs are 5" x 10.5". The wrap holds two packs at the same time. I used both to cool the entire shoulder. The packs stayed cold for about 20 minutes. I have not used them as hot packs.

Nothing of the sort. It's just an extra layer under the sheets. No heat issues at all on my end.

Temp wise, it doesn't hold a ton of heat like I have seen complaints with other brands. You should look into ones with the cooling gel if you like being cold.

There Is a very "slight" warmness, but definitely not anything that feels hot at all. I love this item. It has saved me 3 times already from loosing my entire freezer full of food. Thanks

I'm not sure since I don't have it in front of me, all I know is the stuff is much better than any other plastic wrap I've tried before. It's stronger and has a better grip on bowls and plates covered with it - no spills in the fridge. This may sound strange, but some body wrap products require you to wrap the area in plastic wrap - this stuff doesn't tear when I use it.

the warmer it is the less it clumps. it's warm here in florida. you might want to heat the whole container against your body before applying.

The Frogg Togg is the only one I have used. As a footnote to my review, I left the wrap draped over a chair back (on top of a towel). This morning when I went to get it to put it away, I found that the last 13 or 14 inches were still damp, and VERY COLD! I am very, very satisfied with this item!

I have also never tried to heat the wrap in the oven. I wouldn't try it without further research. We actually keep ours in the freezer and use them as cold packs on our backs, necks and shoulders. Everyone else I have given them to use them mostly for the heat but they all use a microwave.

Would like to clear this up. This is not a product that causes 'heating or tingling or burning' of any kind. When you apply it, it will feel like the product is 'sitting' on your skin. It is done for a reason, so you don't have to use any cling wrap or any other props to make it work. Some people feel it more and some less. It's totally normal. When you put your clothes on, the areas of application will feel warmer and probably a little more sweat prone. This is just how it works. That's what we call a 'sauna' effect.

Yes that is because ut is removing heat. You should wrap it with insulation tape for better efficiency..
