Does anyone else use these. They stayed warm a while too, surprised me.
I need one of those quilting things that we wear and it has a "weighted" bag for our posture. I tend to bend while I sew . Looking forward to more ideas on what we can us to sew longer with less stiffness and aches and pains. Good for you! I have shoulder and neck problems too. If you figure out the neck/sleep pillow I hope you'll share it with us. |
Well I did use hubby's holey socks by cutting off the feet.
Tommy Hillfinger tops were stuffed with rice and given as well loved gifts. BUT, for me it's ICE PACKS instead. Need to pack left knee for 20 min at time. Sitting now with ice pack at my lower back and sure seems to help. Dr. says not heat -- ICE. |
My chiropractor says it depends on how long the inflammation has been in something. At first use ice, but alternate with heat. If it is something you have had and ignored a few days, use heat.

I just made mine longer for my neck and filled 3/4 full. It will fold in half to hang on door knob or hook. When ready to use, I heat then let the rice all flow to the center then place it around my neck works great. I put little hand loops on each end so I can hand them, or just pull down slightly for added heat and pressure on the neck as needed.

I made a bunch of these one year for Christmas only I filled them with flax seed. They are still used by everybody except my MIL who lives in Louisiana. Apparently they sprouted in the humidity. lol PS I use mine all winter heated as hot as I can stand it and put my feet on it.
|
I would love to make some of these, do you use instant rice or the other? Thanks.
|
I would like a body suit heating pad.. any ideas on how to make one? LOL
|
I took hand towel and folded it in half and made one uses lot more rice, warm it up, put it in my bed to warm my feet some night,it also warmes bed right up.ZZZZZZ
I made it for my legs as I have RLS and for me heat seems to help lot times. but of course its been used for other joints too. |
I have made 2 quilts using the butterfly fabric with the black background and I posted pictures of them on this board.
