Which should you choose
- For neck and shoulders, or a wrap you can drape, start with the Original. It is easy to bend around the neck or hold on a joint.
- For hands-free comfort at the lower back, the Back Wrap's strap keeps it in place while you move around.
- For larger areas such as back, shoulders or knees in one wrap, the Body Wrap gives the most coverage.
- If you want one warm and one cold, the Original is sold in a 2-Pack (BBF8000-02) and a 3-Pack.
Heating differences
The three wraps do not share one heating time. The 2-Pack Original wrap takes 1:15 at 600 W, 0:50 at 900 W or 0:37 at 1200 W and then stands for one minute. The Back Wrap starts at 1:15 at standard power and may be given 15-second extra steps up to 2:00 total. For the Body Wrap, follow its tag.

Water and cleaning
Do not add water to a grain-filled wrap. Clean all three with a damp cloth only and let them dry completely.
Latex warning: The Back Wrap and Body Wrap contain natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions. If you have a latex allergy, do not use them.
