Relaxing with the new Wahl Hot/Cold Massaging Gel Pack #Ad

I received a Wahl Massager product for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.  I like to relax.  Staying at home with two young boys I need to relax.  Sometimes the two are difficult to rectify and are more likely than not at opposite ends of what can possible happen.  I have a heat pad, it’s the circular thing that you microwave for: 90 and then lay on it.  The new Wahl Hot/Cold Massaging Gel Pack takes the circular thing and makes it seem quaint and old school by doing two simple things.

#1, the new Wahl Hot/Cold Massaging Gel Pack has a Velcro strap that allows you to strap it to your back, leg or wherever you need it. My old heat pad, being a circle that didn’t attach to anything had to have my laying on it or have it balancing on my shoulder.  My pain is never on top of my shoulder and I sometimes am unable to lie down because of work.  The concept of putting a Velcro strap on the hot/cold pack is simple genius.

#2, the gel pack slips into a cloth envelope that has a middle zippered section in it.  It also comes with a palm sized vibrating disc that you put in that zippered section.  Turn the vibrating disc on, put it in the pouch, attach the entire thing to your body and relax.  Again, it’s ridiculously simple, yet very effective.

The device works the same as others you might have used.  Either microwave it or freeze it, put it in the cloth envelope and apply it to the area.  What’s special is that the vibrating disc, by virtue of its movement spreads the heat farther than a non moving pad. IMPORTANT:  remove the vibrating disc before you freeze or microwave it people.  Battery operated things don’t freeze or handle mircrowaves nicely at all.

The result is a really relaxing experience.  I’ve needed heat or cold on parts of my body before and it was needed, but not really relaxing.  This was relaxing and is something that you want to do anytime, not just when you have an injury.  It’s not perfect, for instance right now I’d love to have it on my forearm, but because I’m typing that’s just not feasible.  Looking forward to a night in the near future when I can lay down and have it properly massage my arm.
