To activate ThermaCare wraps, tear open the sealed pouch, expose the heat cells to air to start the chemical reaction, then apply the wrap with the darker heat cells facing your skin, ensuring the area is clean and dry, and it will begin heating within minutes, reaching full therapeutic warmth in about 30 minutes for hours of relief.
Step-by-Step Activation & Application:
Open the Pouch: Tear open the airtight pouch just before you’re ready to use it; don’t open it ahead of time.
Expose to Air: Once opened, the wrap’s heat cells (discs) will start to activate as they come into contact with oxygen.
Prepare Skin: Make sure the skin where you’ll apply the wrap is clean, dry, and free of lotions or moisturizers.
Position the Wrap: Place the wrap on your pain area, ensuring the darker heat cells are directly against your skin.
Secure: For back/hip wraps, use the adhesive or velcro to attach it firmly (don’t over-tighten); for others, place over light clothing if sensitive.
Wait for Heat: Allow up to 30 minutes to reach therapeutic temperature, though it starts warming right away.
Important Tips:
Don’t Microwave: Never put it in the microwave or any other heat source.
Check Activation: If it’s not warm after 30 minutes, it might have been exposed to air too long; throw it out and use a new one.
Wear Time: Use for up to 8 hours in a 24-hour period for most products, following specific instructions for menstrual wraps.

Try these Tipsfor Relieving Menstrual Pain
It’s common for women to experience some cramping with their period. It starts a day or two before their period starts and can continue for a few days after it ends. The pain comes from increased prostaglandins, which trigger uterine muscle contractions to help expel the uterine lining.
Bring the heat:To get some relief from period pain, try placing heat wraps for menstrual cramps on your lower abdomen. Put it below your belly button with the adhesive side against your underwear. Also take a warm shower or bath. Even drinking a warm beverage like tea could help.
Take a walk:That desire to curl up on the couch may be tempting but hold off just a bit. Regular exercise can help ease period pain.
Give yourself a massage:Grab some aromatherapy massage oil and use your fingertips to lightly massage circles around your lower belly area.
