Need to relax while traveling?

Microwave heating pads are not just for use in a chair or bed. They can be used to pre-heat a car seat (including a baby car-seat), a stroller, and can be taken to work (most work-places have microwaves).

Use them when traveling. That is when you are more apt to have a pulled muscle due to lifting all kinds of travel bags, putting items overhead on an airplane, and carrying them through miles of airport terminals. Sleeping in different beds and riding in rental cars can also make backs uncomfortable. Traveling can find you stressed about meeting flights, finding your way in an unfamiliar area, and generally being out of your element. A heating pad will relax tight muscles and may help you relax and get a good night's sleep.

carry-on piece on one shoulder through the airport. Fortunately, I remembered to take a neck warmer which I was able to heat in a microwave at the hotel. One day I left the neck warmer in the car on the dashboard, and the sun warmed it, and it felt like heaven after an active day.

Maine Warmers has heating pads in all shapes and sizes. This Cozy Sheep is a traveler's best friend at home or away. Tuck this or a Neck Warmer in your carry-on and relax at the end of a busy travel day.
