I have the extra large one & I boil it in my canner. Perfect size. I just let it on the stove. I was told by the company to bring it to a boil then keep it at 160 temp for 10-15 minutes before applying. Also told whenever I'm done using it & ready to pack it away for awhile to put it in a plastic bag & freeze it, never let it dry out. This works miracles for my Fybromyalgia, bursitis in hip & lower back pain. It's the same thing I use in PT.

you heat in boiling water. wrap product in towel and apply and cover with a blanket to keep warmth in. You might need more than 1 towel if they are thin. Product give improves circulation I was told by my physical therapist. So you should do on a regular basis.

Hello Same A., hmmm this is pretty large to be trying to "wrap" around a knee..it is so substantially made, and thus a bit stiff to consider a "wrap"...I drop it into a big soup pot full of boiling water for a few minutes until all the husks absorb the hot water and fill out the channels in the pad, hold it over the sink to drain off the most water, then encase it in a big towel. The heat keeps releasing and releasing for a long time. Its awesome. I've used it in massage therapy for clients for many years...very effective for prolonged moist heat. good luck.

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

We recommend a 30-60 minute body wrap with plastic and either a heating pad or some limited exercise to open the pores. 60 minute or even more if you just slather it on and don't do anything else.

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!

I think they do make a pad that slips over the knee area, but if you or someone you know are a little crafty, you could get some seat cusion batting in the craft dept. at Wmrt and make one. Or you could tie a thick towel onto the knee area and try that, it won't look the prettiest but might relieve some of the discomfort. My knee bothered me at first, but now not so much. If you are on it for an extended time, it will get a little uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

This is a cream that is quickly absorbed by skin. Works wonders for any injury without broken skin. It will help with pain associated with knee injury and inflammation reduction.

I have seen some youtubers do this, but I would couple with a heat protectant as well. I know I do :)

it does smell when you first apply it, but the smell goes away within a couple of minutes. You can use it every three hours, however I never have knee pain so I am not able to recommend it for that purpose.

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.

Paste, and yes you use your hands to apply it. The heat from your hands melts it.

You can rub it on from edge to edge. You can apply it Hot with an iron or a HotWaxer roller.Tony, go have fun. That is what this product is all about.

I soak the knee brace in woolite and water for about 20 minutes, then rinse. Get out as much water as you can than I hang it to dry in the shower.

I spray it all over my legs & then use my hand to blend it. Then quickly wash your hand. It does a good job of drying even & it covers your leg & looks natural.

i have found the best way to use this is to shower first....mix about 3oz of your favorite body lotion with about 1 tsp of bronzer mix well and rub into skin....let dry...I use gloves because at times it can stain...but i have using it for two years with no issues. make sure you exfolixate (spelling?) ankles...elbows...knees first also they get darker that way you get a smooth look

you follow the directions to heat it in the microwave, then use a wooden stick (something like a tongue depressor) and spread it on the area to be waxed, let it cool then pull it off. I apply it in patches about 2inches X 2inches. Smaller on really sensitive areas. If you have never had a wax before do it professionally first and watch how they do it.
