Slimpal Heating Pad for Period Cramps&Back Pain, Plus-Sized Electric Heating Pad, Menstrual Period Cramps Heat Belt Pain Relief, 3 Timer Auto Off Setting, Dark Green

Decided to buy this after needing to refill my hot water bottle every hour to maintain the heat. I charged this before using and from a full charge it lasted about 5 hours on the second hottest setting. It took roughly 4 hours to charge. I applied it over a thin T shirt and it did the job perfectly. It heats up instantly and to a good temperature. I used it on the second highest heat setting as I found the highest a bit too hot. It does say to use over clothing so make sure you do to avoid any risk of burns, but as said before I had a very thin layer on and no problems. It also has a vibration mode which I didn't use, but can imagine this could be useful for achey muscles. I would say the belt is perhaps a little on the small side - I am small/average build and extended it almost fully when wearing as I don't like the feeling of anything tight around my stomach, especially when I'm in pain. It is elasticated though so can stretch. Overall a really great buy and saved me having to constantly refill the kettle, as well as giving me the freedom to walk around without having to keep hold of a hot water bottle.

I bought this Slimpal SPC023-S2 in January 2024 and have had a for just over a week. It is solidly built and brilliant in terms of functionality. I will not not hesitate to recommend it to any of my friends make or female. It charges quickly, and once turned on emits a soothing heat, and a vibration. Even though this product is great for period pains, it is brilliant for lower back pain too. It heats up quickly and it great that you can adjust the heat as well vibration settings. It has become a stable bit of kit that I keep in my bedside table.

Do not buy this product. Unless you want really bad burns. I’ve been using this brand for the past four years with their previous model, and I never had any issues. I never burned my skin, and it was really easy to use safely. I bought this new one because I wanted an upgrade, and I genuinely regret it. I used it for the first time for only 15 minutes. It already felt quite warm, so I put it over my pajamas. I was only using the green/blue setting, the lowest setting, and after just 15 minutes I took it off and looked at my abdomen. My skin was really pink and looked like it had been burned. I have NEVER had marks like this from the previous machine unless I was using the red/highest temperature for a long time. This was only 15 minutes, with pajamas between the machine and my skin. I honestly don’t think this has been properly tested for how hot it gets against the skin. I was actually scared. I kept thinking, what if I had used it for 50 minutes? What if I had left it on for an hour? I don’t even want to know what could have happened to my skin. I do not recommend this product at all. I think you could get a really painful burn from it. I’ll include a picture of the previous machine from this brand that I used for years without any issues,that one was great. This one feels genuinely dangerous to me, and I just wish I could get my money back

It definitely looks like the image and the product functions like the description. It vibrates, provides heat and has a timer. It gives a reasonable amount of pain relief. The heat levels are good for when I’m in a lot of pain and when I just need a bit of warmth. But I’m giving 3 stars because the battery doesn’t last and that’s devastating. I have to charge it for a whole day just to use it for at most 3 hours. I now have to strategize and reserve it for when I’m in immense pain only.

Good

I have had this product for a week or 2 ... as like most ladies that have left a review i think this product is amazing it starts heating up straight away which is great, at first I was a bit dubious about getting one as I thought it wouldn't work for me but I was so wrong.... before I bought this little miracle worker i was using a warmies hippo ( i needed to warm it in the microwave for a 2 mins ) but now I'm thinking of getting a second one so while 1 is charging i can use the other, also you can wear them while you're out and nobody knows unless you tell them

I’ve had it for a week and I charge it fully which take 4/5 hours but it barely last 2 hours even thought on the description it’s says a lot longer so not happy with that at all It heats up quite quick and does get quite hot which is nice. The vibrations are quite loud so not sure I’d use that setting and the strap is quite itchy. Also it looks a lot bigger in the picture so I was disappointed when it turned up. I thought it would be more convenient at work then a hot water bottle but where it doesn’t even last 2 hours it’s not

Surprisingly effective and versatile! I was honestly sceptical at first, but this heating pad completely won me over. It’s been a game-changer for menstrual pain within minutes, the discomfort faded to the point I could barely feel it. The adjustable heat settings let you tailor the warmth to exactly what you need, which makes a huge difference. My husband’s now using it for his back pain too, and he’s just as impressed. It’s cordless, easy to use, and genuinely worth the investment.

I ordered the Max and love it! Pros: 4 heat settings Gets very hot Good battery life (I haven’t tried over 3-4 hrs yet but it lasts this long on medium heat) Comfortable Clip on waistband makes it easy to take on/off No auto-off setting for convenience Side buttons to prevent accidental button presses Good coverage Cons: Bulkier than the average heating pad - doesn’t fit comfortably under clothes so there’s really no discretion Heavy Slow charging I have chronic pain and like to carry a heating pad with me when I’m out and about. I’ve been using the Yeamon brand portable heating pad for a couple of years (another popular one you see on an Amazon search) but have not been happy with the battery life or how easy it is to accidentally press the buttons. It’s been a nightmare to travel with because it can turn on easily in purse or backpack. This one has been way better in that respect since the buttons are on the side of the pad instead of the front. This one is also bigger and covers more surface area which is nice, but very bulky. I like to be able to wear one under loose shirts but this one is just too large and has to be worn over the clothes. It seems more ideal for home use unless you don’t mind showing it off. I haven’t tried the base version yet, but that seems to be a better option for portability.

I've had this for just over a year and it's great! I bought for the mobile heating element for painful periods, but I actually use the vibration way more. I sleep on it every night, keeping it at my lower back. It helps with leg pain and the sound/feeling is very soothing, like putting a baby to sleep. (I still use it for painful period and headaches.) Things I love: -It lasts all night. I've never used it until the battery runs out, so at least 10-12 hours of use in one go. -You can set a timer for it to shut off -It get very hot (in a good way) The only improvements I would make: -The solid vibrate doesn't stay solid if the heating element is also on (it goes in and out). -I wish there was a battery indicator. A light turns green when fully charged, but there's no way to tell how much if not at 100%.

Top du top J’ai attendu pour faire un retour, je l’ai maintenant depuis 6 mois. Elle marche toujours impec, pas de surchauffe, batterie impec. Achetée dans le cadre de douleurs lombo sciatique couplée à de l’endo je cherchais une alternative aux bouillottes à eau / micro ondes qui fasse aussi vibrant et qui dure un peu c’est pour ça que j’ai pris le modèle « grand » avec une batterie un peu renforcée. Durée moyenne utilisation en chauffe 3/4 heures et avec vibration + chaleur 2/3h (au max c’est moins mais le mode 1/2 chaleur correspond à une bouillotte très chaude). Je ne m’en passe plus mon indispensable ! Je pense m’en racheter une ! Ma mère qui a une arthrodèse me l’a piqué au cours d’un séjour et ne s’en passe plus non plus. Le seul - que je retiendrais la charge est un peu lente je pense en prendre une deuxième pour faire le roulement.

This has been a wonderful little device. Very happy with my purchase. I bought this primarily for the heat pad and it’s amazing. I previously had a little pocket heater but this is much better with a stretchy strap to hold it in place and soft pad that’s slightly curved to fit your body. Very comfortable to wear, settings are simple to use, it is well-made. Noticed that the battery does not last as long if you have the heater higher than level 1 — it’s significantly shorter — but that’s okay because I’ve found I only ever use level 1 heat. Highly recommend for soothing pain relief!!

My teenager appreciates it a lot
