Customer Reviews of Thermalon Microwave Activated Moist Heat-Cold Sleeve for Hand, Wrist, Elbow, 5.5" x 7"
Customer Review: Helps with Tennis Elbow
Summary: 4 Stars
Less than a minute in a microwave oven and this sleeve provides a good moist heat that helps loosen up my arm in the morning or before I head out the the gardens. I find, though, that the underside of my forearm is more tender than the outside around the elbow and can't tolerate as much heat. So I have to use it with moderate heat or stuff something down inside the sleeve to protect the more tender part of my arm. I'll probably end up stitching a flannel panel inside the sleeve.
I also find that the beads inside slip around and usually end up congregating along the underside of my arm instead of outside where I need them. If the sleeve had channels (like a duvet or quilt), it would create more even heat all around.
Customer Review: Elbow Pain
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this product. I suffer from tendonitis in my elbow and when I experience a flair up from over use, I use this for a few days and it's better. I can't live without it!Customer Review: cooling power medicore at best
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently bought this product and have only used it for an ice pack so far, so this review is really only for that half of it's use.
I am not satisfied with it, it does not hold the cold long enough, remaining cool for less than an hour. In fact it does not ever become "cold as ice" in my opinion. If you need it for anything other than very slight injuries or use, fine buy it, but if you have a reoccurring problem as I do, tennis elbow, don't bother, an old-fashioned ice pack will be far more effective.
And yes, I left it in the freezer for 24 hours before use. Doesn't matter. Ineffective.
Customer Review: Poor design
Summary: 1 Stars
Beads are not sewn into compartments on this style sleeve...hence they all fall to the "bottom" once sleeve is placed on your wrist. Some other versions, such as neck wrap, have multiple compartments to hold beads in place.
