Extra Long Corn Heating Pad for Back, Neck & Shoulders, with a removable, washable cover. Natural moist heat that holds longer than rice or flax, with cold therapy whenever you need it. Handmade by our family with whole corn, in our elegant Eiffel Flowers fabric.

WHY WHOLE CORN
Most heating pads are filled with rice or flax. We use whole dried corn on purpose. Corn holds its heat longer and gives a moist heat that works into tired muscles, not just the surface. Research on heat therapy shows moist heat eases sore muscles and stiff joints at least as well as dry heat, often faster. The corn is naturally weighted, so this long bag drapes across the back and over the shoulders and stays put. No cords, no electricity, nothing to plug in or throw away. A natural, drug-free way to warm up and feel better.

MADE TO LAST
Double-lined and double-stitched, so it holds up for years. Filled with commercially dried feed corn, the variety with the right moisture content for true moist heat, and guaranteed not to pop. Divided into three inner sections so the corn stays evenly spread and never slides to one end.

SIZE
Extra Long, approx. 20" x 5". Long enough to lay along the back or wrap the neck and shoulders, and just as good on the hips, knees, or feet.

HOW TO USE
Hot: Microwave 1 minute, then add 30 seconds at a time until it is as warm as you like. Do not overheat, and never more than 4 minutes total.
Cold: Slip it into a plastic freezer bag and freeze. For the coldest pack, freeze overnight.

REMOVABLE, WASHABLE COVER
The cover slips off through an envelope-style opening near one end, with no zipper to scratch or snag. The corn stays sealed in its own inner bag, so it won't fall out. Choose "Add a second cover" to keep a spare on hand while one is in the wash.

To wash the cover:
1. Find the envelope opening near one end of the cover.
2. Gently slide the corn-filled inner bag out. Pull on the inner bag, not the seams.
3. Machine wash the cover on cold, gentle cycle.
4. Lay flat or hang to dry. Skip the dryer, since high heat can shrink cotton.
5. Slide the inner bag back in with its sections lying flat, and tuck the flap over the end.
Never wash or soak the corn-filled inner bag!

FOR EVERY AGE AND SEASON
Soothes a sore back after a long day, stiff shoulders, an aching neck, arthritis-stiff joints, period cramps, or cold feet in a winter bed. Straight from the freezer it becomes a cool pack for swelling, headaches, or a hot-flash night. One bag, all ages, all year, and a thoughtful gift for a mom, a grandparent, anyone who is always cold, or anyone who loves Paris.

Heat and cold therapy offer comfort and temporary relief; they are not medical devices. If you have a health concern, check with your doctor.
