I absolutely love this! It's not too big, it's pink (my favorite color) and it's reusable! I also didn't notice any weird smell to it either. To use it, you simply bend the little metal disc that's floating around inside and it immediately heats up for toasty warm hands or feet in seconds. It's also pretty pliable until it starts to cool back down, which makes it good for wrapping around your achy joints. Not going to lie - sometimes I stick this in my coat pocket to keep my hands warm on a long, cold winter bus ride!

When it's all cooled off, it turns into a thick, cloudy crystalized chunk and firms up. To reuse it, you simply pop it in a pot of boiling water and wait for it to go back to clear goo. Make sure that you wrap a thin towel or washcloth around it before you boil it, as you don't want to accidentally melt the PVC if it touches the bottom of your pan. The boiling water also cleans it. Not like it gets super dirty anyway, you don't need to use any lube or anything on it, but you can! If you do use lube on it, it glides across skin so easily, so it's good for a nice warming massage for your partner!

I just stick this in my underwear drawer when I'm done with it, mostly so my pet doesn't get a hold of it! The outside is PVC, so anything sharp might poke a hole in it, and you'll end up with the weird heating goo all over and I can't imagine that would be any fun to clean up. Also, I'm not exactly sure what all the magic heating goo is made of, so I don't know if it would be toxic to pets/babies/whatever might attack it.

Still love this! I strained my back the other day at work, and this massager with a little bit of massage oil helped immensely!
