11-1028 Hot Button Instant Reusable Hot Compress, Oversize

Love it! I use it for when I am out. I have more than one bad chronic pain conditions and heat helps. It is convenient, stays hot for an hour and more affordable than the disposable ones. It is a bit heavy so it may not work well in all circumstances. But It works great for me, I am in a wheel chair, so i just put it in my back pack and hang it on the back of my chair.

Wish we didn't have to boil, but it's amazing and it gets hot.

I get terrible leg cramps at night. Upon a recommendation, I tried using snap-activated heat packs on my legs while watching TV at night before bed. I had a few small ones I got years ago, so I tried those. It totally worked. Ever since I started applying heat to my legs before bed, the night cramps totally disappeared. But my heating pads were really small, so I shopped for large ones and found these Hot Button ones. They were perfect. Large. Wrap around the legs nicely. Hold the heat for a good 30 minutes.BUTI bought a total of seven of them. Three of them burst/leaked gel out of them. I followed the use and boiling instructions exactly (use a towel in the water pot so they don't touch the sides, etc). I am very disappointed.The first one I returned had leaked with one day of use.The second one leaked within about a week (7 uses)The third one started leaking literally on Day 30 after I bought it (about 30 uses). Fortunately, I just snuck into the Amazon return window.So now I'm down to my last four. I won't be buying these Hot Button compresses again. I have several old snap-activated heat packs that have lasted years through countless use/reheat cycles. Not one of them has ever leaked.Three of seven of the Hot Button ones have failed.Why?What's notable is the outside of the Hot Button packs (like a silicone material) is noticeably thinner than my other ones. I believe the thinness simply can't withstand repeated use, and they end up leaking.It's hard to find LARGE snap-activated heat packs. I really wish these Hot Button ones were better. Maybe they'll come out with a 2.0 version someday.UPDATE Jun 19, 2024The fourth pack failed last night. Started leaking. It's outside the 30 day return window. I'll contact the seller. It seems these are excellent heat packs .... but only for about 30 uses, then they fail. I have three of the original seven left. We'll see how long they'll last.UPDATE Jun 23, 2024Another one started leaking. I'm down to two.UPDATE Jun 27, 2024Another one started leaking last night. Now I'm down to ONE from the original SEVEN.UPDATE Jun 27, 2024 (part 2)Geez. Just last night the sixth one gave up the ghost. Now tonight, the last of the seven (*SEVEN*), too, started to leak.So, that's the last of my updates. I bought 7 of the Hot Buttons. All of them failed. All of them leaked. None lasted more than about 40 uses. Fortunately, three of them failed within Amazon's 30-day return policy. I had to eat the cost of the last four because they failed after 30 days.

So far, so good. Took a couple attempts to flex the disk before the crystals would activate but finally success. First opaque picture before kneeding (as suggested in instructions), following picture after kneeding and as you can see the pak is much more pliable but I feel much heat lost during this process as the pak only stayed hot for fifteen minutes and warm for another fifteen. Probably will not bother with that step next time if using for my back, only if using for my wrist or something like that. Instructions do say to wrap in cloth to boil to return to liquid state but that more easily achieved by buying an reset boiling bag for heat packs. Overall very happy with this.

I followed the directions to and place it in boiling water. After about 5 minutes I pulled it out and there were Several areas that had sprung leaks. I had to throw it out right away, not worth the money!

The first time you use it, you have to activate it by flexing the seal. I’m returning it because I’m not sure how I would ever heat it up in a pot without the sides touching.

Leaks about after 3 months, but that's about standard for these, works good while it works though

Was just what I needed for my pain

I usually it’s almost every single night because I do not have a microwave and cannot hit up any bags these heat up so nicely so quickly and last four or more than half an hour. All you have to do is boil them for a few minutes and water in the morning and then they can be used again.

Producto de muy buen tamaño y funcional, he tenido otros anteriormente, de otras marcas, este es más económico y buena calidad

Brought it to a ball game when it was cold and it kept me warm! Also great for sore muscles 👍🏻 Multi purpose!

Buen producto, buen tamaño y funcionalidad.

The little metal disc would not activate the heat. I wiggled and tried to flex the disc until my hands ached. I have another smaller one from a different manufacturer and it works great, but this one is defective so I have to give it a thumbs down, which is too bad because I like the size and shape.
