I had an internal stye that I needed to treat with a 20-minute warm compress four times a day. The stye formed into a chalazion which needs another 4-6 weeks of comprises. Warming up a moist washcloth in microwave and holding on my eye was inconvenient and awkward while at work. I purchased a four-pack of these babies and wow, they work great. I cut an old hand towel into rectangles roughly the size of the heat pack. I dampen the cloth and activate the heat pack. It lasts more than 20 minutes. The packs have a little disk that you press til it activates. Then massage the gel that forms. So easy and convenient. The button is kind of hard to press just right so I have been moving the button to a corner and pressing on it with a non-sharp item (rounded handle of a comb, handle of kitchen scissors, etc). Having four is just enough to get me through the day. Contrary to other reviews, these work time after time with no problems. No leaking or failure to activate. Worth the price.
I hunt.....and in the bitter cold its great to have something to warm you up in the stand. These are not near as effective as the hot hands or similar oxygen activated heat packs, but the fact that I can re-use them means over the long run they are so much cheaper....as the other packs are pricey.
On a 0-10 degree morning, I pop one every hour or two as needed to thaw my hands, and then tuck them under base layers where I am cold. I can usually sit from 6:00 to about noon with the packs, and I would be out of the stand by 9 without them.
Feet are always my limiting factor...and these are too big to help there.
These heat packs are PERFECT for a school health office. As an elementary school nurse, they come in handy to ease ear and muscle pain along with warming hands that are cold from recess. They last at least 30 minutes and are reusable. There is no problem with germ transfer as they are boiled after each use to return them to their original state. I have used these for 8 years and they are still going strong!
I've only used them a few times, but so far they're everything they say they are. I've found that they seem to maintain good heat up to about two hours if they're kept in a well insulated place, such as a pocket, and can maintain some level of heat up to between three-four hours under the same conditions. The only thing I could say I DISlike about them is that if you want to carry extras, the weight will add up. They don't weigh much alone, but if you're needing to pack light (as in pounds), these warrant some extra consideration.
Got these for my wife's pain in her thumb area which heat alleviates the pain. They heat quickly, hold the heat well and are easy to use. What she does not like about them is the need to boil them after each use to be able to use again. Plus, she would rather they were softer when activated and so that they would mold to her hand more. Chemically that may not be possible. That being said, she uses them daily and they do give her relief.

Heat Wave reusable hot packs are designed to offer comfort and warmth to every part of your body. Whether you are suffering from arthritis; lower back, knee, shoulder, wrist, or ankle pain; or you need relief from achy muscles and symptoms related to PMS, Heat Wave can help. Our medium hand warmer packs measure 3" x 5" and heat up to 130°F in under 60 seconds. Simply flex the metal heat activator and watch as the inner fluid begins to crystallize. Once your pack has started heating, it is ready for hours of long-lasting therapeutic warmth. When you are finished, place your heat pack in a pan of rapidly boiling water. Place a rag between the bottom of the pan and the hot pack. Keep it in the pot until the crystals completely dissolve - about 20 - 25 minutes - then simmer for 10. Remove the heat pack and allow it to cool to room temperature before your next use.

Nice to have around for camping and hiking, even skiing. The only problem I have is that sometimes it activates before I want it to. Not very often. I am going to start packing it in a more protected manner and see if that helps. Great to have something that can be re-used over and over.
Works great so far. I have to wait a while at the but stop between transfers and these keep my hands nice and toasty as long as I keep kneading them here and there. While it won't work for a whole hour at high heat it's perfect for little periods like that 👍 I used to use the biggest one for my period camps and it lasted a few years. Before it sprung a leak.
Original pack was amazing so I purchased a second and they did not last but four or five uses. 3 years later though the first ones are still running strong. I use them for everything from sporting events to disc golf games.
Small portable spot heat for muscle and joint pains, works well for sinus pain. No cords to get tangled in while using.
I ordered this product for me. I use it mostly for when my neck is stiff it works great. I like it because it's small. If you’re breastfeeding and you get mastitis tuck one in your bra and it will alleviate the pain.
