A big, warm hug!
Ever had one of those days when you wake up in the morning and your head already aches and your neck and shoulders have joined forces in making sure that for the rest of the day, you're going to be doing your best 'Quasimodo' impersonation - neck and back hunched over, head locked to one side, rendering you pretty much useless for the day's tasks ahead 🫤 As soon as you put your feet on the floor, your worst fears are realized and you already know people are most likely going to shout "the bells" and " Hey, Quasi, where's Esmerelda?" as you shuffle past - walking into street lights, fire hydrants, doors and people as you can't see straight ahead coz your neck is twisted and your body contorted 😫 The only positive at this point is you don't have to spend too much time wondering what you're going to wear - may as well keep it simple and dress for the part, right? - green tunic, brown tights, teal shoes and a rope belt it is! At the end of the day, you don't have the strength in your body to turn on the faucet and soak the aches away. By this time, the pain has intensified, and the nerves and muscles at the base of your neck have jumped on the ol' pain wagon and you resign yourself to the realization that the ol' pain wagon is, in fact, heading for the river and for the rest of the night you're gonna be sailing up a certain creek without a paddle! Ha! Enter the Comfytemp Heating Pad for neck and shoulder. Man! This is amazing! And, without sounding like some corny chat up line, the first time I used it, I actually said out loud "where have you been all my life?" (Admittedly at this point, my sanity could be questionable as I'm openly admitting to talking to an electronic heat pad! 🥴) Talk about a game changer! The pad is weighted and really works. It's a soft, smooth material which really adds to the quality. There are several heat settings from 1 to 9 - I found 6 is comfortable for me. There's a timer you can control, but I leave it on long enough until I feel the pain and tension ease. There's also an extended power chord which means I can plug it into the wall socket when I'm in bed or sitting on the sofa and I don't have to lean to one side when it's in operation. I have to be honest and say it's great value for money - money well spent for the relief it gives. It's incredibly easy to use, and is adjustable in sizing - there's an extension on the cape included, but I find the closest fitting works best around my neck without feeling I'm choking. There's also a part on the cape that actually covers the base of your neck - great addition! It's both soothing and relaxing. Honestly, it's like getting a big, warm hug from a big, fuzzy cuddle monster! ( yeah, ok, I'm over-emphasizing, but you get my drift) I can't recommend it highly enough! Anyone wanna buy a gently used green tunic with brown tights, teal shoes and a rope belt?? 😉 Read more
