 Excellent ProductOct 28, 2008
By Renee
I love this product. I have had sinus problems for as long as I can remember. I just recently started using this and it does help relieve the pressure and open up the sinus passages.As far as only being warm for 15 minutes, I found it stayed warm and moist more like 20 minutes. In addition, most doctors that I have spoken with regarding heat application (moist or dry) do not recommend applying the heat for more then 15 or 20 minutes at a time. Heat applications are not meant to be delievered for hours at a time. Many short intervals throughout the day is the most effective use of heat application.

 Need to wait 2 HOURS between uses! ...Sep 07, 2005
By Educated buyer
"kungfu3210"
If you are looking for a constant source of heat that will last more than 15 minutes, this is NOT your product. If you've ever tried the "home remedy" equivalent to this microwave heat pad (uncooked rice in a sock then microwaved) it is about the same. The major (or minor depending on how you look at it) difference between the two is that this product does produce "moist heat" (the rice does not). However one MAJOR drawback of this product (which you won't read anywhere in the descriptions, until you buy it and get it home) is that you need to WAIT 2 HOURS before you can use it again. Since the heat only lasts about 15 minutes, it is a major hassle (for me) to wait 2 hours before microwaving it again! If you can get by with 15 minutes of heat only (then a 2 hr wait), and need the "moist heat" aspect... this product works as advertised. If you are like me and were looking for something to provide heat for more than 15 minutes, then try the rice in sock. At least after the heat wares off, you can pop it back into the microwave and use it again.

Good hot eye compress for tired eyes or blepharitisMar 09, 2011
By D. Garvey
This compress is great if you have dry eye or blepharitis, or if your eyes just get tired at the end of the day. My ophthalmologist told me to use a wet washcloth, but I hated that; a wet washcloth doesn't stay hot for long. This compress produces a lot of moist heat and it stays warm for a long time (at least 20 minutes). It will lull you to sleep. I recommend wrapping it in a clean, soft pillowcase (but don't put the pillowcase in the microwave with the compress as it will burn). The pillowcase will keep the compress--and probably your eyes--cleaner. When heated, the compress has a smell that some people may find objectionable. To me, it smells kind of like popcorn, but other members of my family say it smells like dirty socks. If the smell bothers you, try covering the compress with a towel.
 They've changed this product somehowApr 10, 2010
By just Rae
I had one of these for eight or nine years and absolutely loved it, but lately it didn't seem to be heating up as well as it used to. I decided that maybe the thera beads inside were worn out, and I needed a new one. The store where I had purchased it no longer carried them, and I couldn't find them anywhere in my city. So when I searched and found it here, I was delighted, and ordered it right away. Wish I had listened to the negative reviews on here and saved my money. Even though it looks identical on the outside, it definitely is not the same. It doesn't heat up nearly as much as the original one, and holds that little bit of heat for only about five minutes, not enough to do much good. It doesn't even have the same smell that the old one did when heated, and the old one required no "downtime" to re-absorb moisture from the air. And I can't tell that it makes a difference anyhow. May as well buy the original Bed Buddy and save yourself some money. It does just as good a job, which isn't saying much.
