I used this heating pad twice in one day. The first time that I used it, it worked great!  It took about 3 mins in the microwave to be a comfortable heat. The second time I used it (1 hr later), the clay beads burnt through the casing and started spilling all over.<br /><br />Having isolated pockets is a good idea. It prevents the beads from falling to the bottom of their contained space,and preventing few beads to fall to the bottom of the confined space. However, in this case the very small pockets along the shoulder tended to overheat before the large pockets heated through, resulting in a molten fabric, and thus, a hole to allow the beads to escape.<br /><br />Maybe a more versatile fabric like cotton that isn't as heat sensitive would have been a better option. Better yet, a cotton shell with a furry polyester sleeve.
