Our microwavable heating pads typically need 1.5 minutes in the microwave for optimal heat therapy. However, microwave power varies, so start with 1 minute and add 15-30 second intervals until you reach your desired warmth. Never exceed 2 minutes total heating time. Always test the temperature before applying to skin. If your reusable heating pad becomes too hot, let it cool before use. Overheating can damage the natural corn filling and reduce the lifespan of your therapeutic warmer.

Place the warmer in the middle of the microwave, on a microwave safe dish, folding as necessary in order to make sure that it does not touch any of the inner surfaces that may have food and/or grease residue.

No! Our heating pads are filled with whole feed corn, not popping corn. This natural corn filling is specifically chosen for its superior heat retention properties and will not pop when microwaved. The whole corn kernels provide long-lasting, moist heat therapy that penetrates deep into muscles for effective pain relief.

Your warmer should last for years with normal use and care. The corn filling lasts for a long time retaining its form and mild popcorn-like smell. Because corn is an organic product we recommend either microwaving or freezing within six months of purchase to keep the corn free of any natural organisms.

Yes! Our versatile, reusable heating pads work for both heat and cold therapy. For heat therapy to relieve muscle pain, arthritis, or tension, simply microwave as directed. For cold therapy to reduce inflammation or swelling, place your warmer in a sealed plastic bag and freeze for at least 2 hours. This dual-purpose design makes our therapeutic warmers perfect for natural pain relief in any situation.

Yes! All our heating pads feature machine washable covers for easy care and long-lasting use. Each warmer has a removable insert with a Velcro closure, allowing you to wash the outer cover as needed. Simply remove the corn-filled insert before washing. This washable design ensures your therapeutic warmer stays fresh and clean for years of use.

Yes. There is an inside cotton cloth lining holding the filling. This provides an extra layer of fabric between your skin and the corn making the product more comfortable and to help retain the heat and cold longer.

No. Our corn filled heating pads do not contain any added fragrances.
