Soothing, effective pain relief. NO use or care instructions.
I've knocked a star, only because instructions are lacking for this headache relief cap. I mean, true -- what do you need to know? You put it on like a hat... you can tell which side is the front and back (a little cutout area for the nose and the gel is located in the front of the hat). So, what's to know, right??<br /><br />Well... how long do I cool this mask? Can I warm it up for heat relief? How do I keep the mask clean? Is it washable?<br /><br />Hm. The box doesn't say, and no written use or care instructions are included in the box.<br /><br />I got this particular headache cap because I saw that the online description included HEAT relief, not just COLD. It says so in the product description, but is not disclosed anywhere on or with the actual cap when you receive it.<br /><br />***TWO hours in the fridge for cold therapy<br /><br />***TEN to 30 seconds in the 'heater' for hot therapy (a toaster oven is pictured...and I would highly recommend NOT heating the mask this way. I surely hope they meant a microwave! This would be the safest [and correct, imo] to heat this mask, or you will end up with a ruined cap and a true headache! ;-)<br /><br />Currently, I've only used this cap for COLD therapy and I have NOT had to place it in the fridge. The gel is cool to begin with and has been plenty cold enough at 'room temperature.'<br /><br />The light compression and cool gel is very soothing. It has relieved headache pain as well as helped sleep come quicker.<br /><br />I really like this headache cap and will be using it often. I just wish the instructions were a little clearer and included!
