What Can This Microwavable Neck Wrap Help With?

Why Choose Flaxseed Instead of Rice?
Flaxseed is widely considered the best natural filling for microwavable heating pads and neck wraps.
- Retains heat 2–3 times longer than rice (20–30 minutes vs. 10–15 minutes)
- Conforms smoothly to the shape of your neck and shoulders
- Provides more even heat distribution
- Won’t mold, attract pests, or develop odors over time
The 5" x 23" size wraps comfortably around the neck and drapes over both shoulders for full coverage and consistent heat therapy.
How to Use Your Microwavable Neck Wrap
