Definitely one of my favorite stress and relaxation gadgets.I use it every night.Every night.You'll have to use the remote for some manipulation, as heating and massage can be tricky, but I've found that putting it around my neck and just pressing the heat button before turning it on is a good start.After that, I only press + once, and it completes the loop on its own.Kind of like a smart massage.It can become very intense, or it can be light and sensitive.I think it's better to put your head on the pillow and put the massager around your neck.I'm lucky, my neck is free, because if I put my hair in, it feels different.Good bare skin contact, very cool.It's rechargeable, so it doesn't need a battery, I just need to charge it with my phone.Keep it on my bedside table and go when I go to bed.Two or three cycles a night, it's amazing.You can't help loving this device.
