It lays on your shoulders like a cape. But I must warn you that it is heavy* and that it retains the heat from the micro for quite a while. I nearly burned myself the first use. Experiment carefully with your micro unit to find the best time to heat it for.
I chose this pad over cheaper ones because its shape was best for my area of pain & I wanted it as close to the therapist pads as possible. It is. The cover is thick enough that I do not use a towel under it. It is a great addition to my pain management & worth the cost.
* I have caregivers and I let them heat it and place it on me due to its weight.
Just the weight of it helps, and the heat is great. The tall collar wraps around your neck and the back of your skull to heat the whole length of your neck muscles. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it seems underfilled.
Love the portion of the wrap that extends up around the neck. I typically have tension in both my neck & shoulders but this wrap covers both areas without having to move the wrap around like I do with other wraps. Stays put too without sliding off.
First, I am always impressed by how quickly items get shipped once the order is placed. The shipment arrives exactly as promised.
Second, this wrap is fabulous, it feels so great and it does help with arthritic pain. It fits well around my neck and comes down my back just enough. The only thing that I would do differently, the "beads" inside tend to pool at the bottom and I have to keep readjusting them, not a big deal, but I can see a way that could be solved (I do a great deal of sewing). Otherwise, I love it and it gives excellent relief.
Back aches, neck aches, stomach pains- THIS DOES IT ALL! High quality, thick cloth, soft material! A perfect gift for back pain sufferers! My only recommendation is to purchase a complimentary oil (lavendar, sweet orange, lemongrass, etc) and place a few drops on unit after microwaving. It makes all the difference!

Description
Neck Wrap Hot or Cold!
After a tiring day, our Maroon Neck and Shoulder Wrap is your quick solution for treating migraine, neck, shoulder and upper back
pains due to muscle cramps, soreness and other discomfort brought about by a tiring day or minor injuries.
This ice pack and heat pad in a single package contains special clay beads and flaxseed that instantly absorb and retain heat for
long periods of time.
Heat applied to your tissues increases blood flow. The blood drawn to that targeted tissue removes cell waste and delivers needed
oxygen and nutrients. Heat relaxes tense muscles, decrease spasm and relieves pain therefore increasing the range of motion.
The clay beads pack is also excellent in absorbing cold temperatures ideal for cold therapy purposes. Just put it in your freezer
for an hour or two for a soothing cold therapy.
Applying cold to your tissue narrows your blood vessels. The slowing down of blood flow to your injured tissue (within 24-48 hours)
reduces muscle spasm, swelling, pain and inflammation.
This neck and shoulder wrap is also packed with 4 of the most effective aromatic herbs in lavender, lemongrass, chamomile, and
peppermint. So, whether treating an injury around your neck, shoulder and upper back, relieving stress or simply trying to relax; all you
need is a single Neck And Shoulder Wrap.

I love my new neck wrap. It is soft, and it is easy to use. The wrap feels heavy when you pick it up, but doesn’t feel that way once it is wrapped around you. I’m using it to help with shoulder pain, and I love it because I can use at work and still be mobile!
Chronic migraines run in my family, and this is the first ice/heat pack I’ve found that can get most of the trouble spots at once! Not only is it incredibly soft, but since it’s not filled with gel like many others I’m not so concerned that one of my cats will pop it.
I was a little worried about if the smell from the aromatics would be too much since my mom and I both have sensitive noses–smells that are too strong are often triggers for nausea and migraines–but it turned out to be barely noticeable.
The filling makes it a little heavy which is perfect for adding a little pressure in with the cold/heat and helping to relax the muscles.
Overall I’m very pleased with this, and my only wish is that the neck piece were a bit taller so it could easily reach the occipitals.
Very soft & the weight really helps. I wish it stared cold longer, but it lasts longer than most 'bean' filled type.
Smells nice when heated but not too strongly. Takes a while to get up to a good temperature though. And I had to sew up a seem that was loose & leaking beads & lavender when it arrived. But holds heat for a while & covers a lot of area.
This wrap was easy to use and was comfortable. Unfortunately, it did not work for my needs and I sent it back. I needed a wrap for my shoulders and lower arms. The shipping process and the return was simple.
