Fomentek Hot Water Therapy Bag (Large) review

The Fomentek bag is not an electric heating pad, which is exactly why it earns a place here. It is a double-layer polymer bag that you fill one third full with tap water, warm or with ice, and lay on any part of the body, where it conforms to curves. Fomentek says the material supports up to 600 lbs, so you can lie on it, and that water stays warm or cold for 2 to 4 hours. The Large measures 21" x 23" and costs $24.99, the cheapest option on this list, with a Medium at $22.99. It is made in the USA from latex-free, BPA-free and phthalate-free food-grade material, and is FSA eligible. The limits are real: Fomentek tells you to use water at 113°F or less, so it is far milder than any electric pad, and the warranty is 90 days with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. For travel, for people who want to lie on their heat, or for alternating hot and cold, it is a simple, cheap tool.
