I can wrap this around me when I’m on the go and it was a gift that I adore. Love the cover to avoid giving myself more burns - I’ve never got one with this!

After too many hot water bottle burns, I switched to an electric heating pad!
Heating Pad
For the days in bed with a migraine
Headache Hat
I love that it folds up and can be tucked away when not using. A cane is so helpful for the days I can barely stand up.
