Gift for a person with osteoarthritis. She really appreciate the comfort and warmth of this heating pad. Placed directly on the skin or on a light nightgown, it gives a lot of warmth and well-being and reduces tension in the neck and shoulders. It has three heat levels may seem insufficient to some on a thick sweater or coat. It plugs into industry, heats quickly and has a relatively long wire to be connected to bed or watching TV. I recommend.
