Frequently Asked Questions

How does the auto-moist feature work?
The Thermophore pad draws moisture naturally from the air and from contact with the skin as it heats up, delivering moist heat without requiring any added water or wet towels. The result is deep, penetrating moist heat therapy with no preparation required.

Can the cover be washed?
Yes. The flannel cover is machine washable. Remove the cover before washing and allow it to dry completely before reattaching and using the pad.

How do I control the heat level?
The pad uses an on/off momentary switch — hold the switch to apply heat and release to turn it off. This design provides a simple, intuitive control that also serves as a safety feature, as the pad turns off automatically when the switch is released.

What areas of the body is this pad sized for?
At 4 inches by 17 inches, the Classic Petite is well suited for the neck, shoulder, knee, elbow, or other localized areas. For larger coverage areas such as the full back, a larger Thermophore model may be more appropriate.
