Reviewer: B. Bunton,
I LOVE this thing....can take on a trip & heat in a convenience store microwave; can put it on other areas (like the spine when driving)also.
Fabulous!

Reviewer: E. Thompson,
I really love this item. It heats and cools very well. It wraps around your neck and goes down your spine a little, so you get an overall feel of relief in your shoulders and neck. I also love that it wraps around to work on your collarbone. The gel is neat too! Very flexible.

The collar is easy to use, I found it to be a little to long and overlapping, but I am small I guess. It's comfortable and easy to put on. I wish the coldness would last longer, but it's a good option to have when needed. I have 3 ice packs I use in rotation after brain/spinal surgery and this is one of them. I would recommend it from my research on other options online.
Good, but not a panacea

It's not exactly how it looks in the picture. There are no "ears" that come up to the jaw and it's flatter. But does it work you ask? Well, I bought it for a hot pack and it does get plenty hot in the micro and it holds some heat for a half hour or so. And it's weighty so it lays flat against the back of your neck and spine. But the velcro closure in the front gets pretty hot so I don't close it unless it's cooled some. It's nice that you can wear it while you move around without it falling off. I think it's better than anything else I have. Haven't tried it as a cold pack because I already have some very good alternatives. I would recommend it. It's better than a neck buddy that smells like an old sock. There's no odor with this one!

I agree with past reviews. The collar does not get quite hot enough and I assume not cold enough either (although I only heat it). After having my neck operated on (C2-C7) last Novemeber, I have suffered from muscle tightness at about shoulder level in my neck. I have gone through many microwavable gel packs from Wal-Mart likely imported from China. The gel in those are much more liquid and will get hotter and stay hotter longer. Unfortunately they blow out at the seams when heated and spill heated oil-gel all over its cover, your neck and any furniture. The last one purchased we immediately put it in a secondary "seal-a-meal" plastic bag prior to its first heating to hopefully extend its life... still leaked all over me, burning the skin on my neck and hands after its second heating.
This device is wonderfully fitted. The gel is not liquid so it stays evenly distributed in it's cover. It does give wonderful temporary relief and does allow a person to remain active or at least mobile. I find myself wearing it even when it cools down because it does keep the cold air off the back of my neck which is a primary cause for the muscles tightening. I cook it as recommended, about 40-45 seconds each side, but there is no way in the world that I would let it cool off for 60 seconds before applying to my neck as recommended. I think this product is fantastic and I look forward to purchasing some of their other products in the future.
