“We received our Hugaroo headache wrap a few days ago. The wrap has the same great quality as their neck wrap. And a wonderful aroma once microwaved. We highly recommend the wrap not for just headaches but for those stressful days when there is a need to relax!”
“Since approximately 2001, I have been struggling with migraines. They have become debilitating and I do everything I can to decrease my risk of another one. No one item is going to fix the migraines. I've taken medications, used heat/cold, avoided all of the fun foods/drinks, used a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device, gotten massages, etc. I had a four month migraine and hit a wall. No one item will fix migraines. But, the right combination of preventatives and abortives can make the biggest difference in lifestyle and daily functioning. For me, I know that during a migraine I need to take my abortive medication, dim my lights, minimize noise, put a cold pack on my head, put heat on my neck and shoulders, use my device if needed and then wait. Why do you need to know all of this? You don't. I don't want you to feel alone and you aren't. Hopefully, though, you saw the part about the heat on the neck and shoulders. An issue I ran into was finding a heating pad that would stay on my neck and shoulders without rolling off if I shifted in bed. Also, I've actually had an electric blanket catch fire while I was sleeping so sleeping with the heating pad isn't going to work. I tried it on the neck as a curiosity and on my head in the hopes that it would be a great resource during migraines. Disclaimer: I love huggaroo products. I do. The material is soft, stretchy and soothing and the materials are of good quality. I was excited to see that the huggaroo headache wrap had a large strip of velcro to hold it to my head. I can use it cold on my head (though this is a bit less effective than using it for heat) and, the bigger draw for me, is being able to put it around my neck. I also purchased their new weighted blanket (I will review on the item) and find that there is consistency between the products, which isn't always the case when you order multiple products from a company. I know you probably weren't looking for a neck wrap. This isn't intended to be a neck wrap. Having multiple uses makes this product invaluable. My migraines are tricky. My son likes heat on his head during them because it relaxes him and he also really enjoys the huggaroo brand items. I tried the heat and the cold functions and found I like the heat for my neck and the cold for my head. An added benefit of the velcro is that, when the headwrap goes warm for me (using it on my head after it is chilled), I can slip a tiny little ice pack underneath it and the head wrap will hold it snug to my head. The ONLY criticism I have about the headwrap is that if you have a very large head, it would be wonderful if there were a couple of different size options. Overall, though, most people will be able to use this very comfortably. If you haven't found the right mix for your migraines, don't give up. I have added this hot/cold headache wrap to my 'emergency migraine kit' that I keep next to me most of the time. I will not hesitate to order more from Huggaroo.”
“Huggaroo Hot/Cold Headache Wrap: Moist Heat and Subtle Herbal Aromatherapy or Cool Relief for Migraine, Tension, or Sinus HeadachesВ I love this wrap! I suffer from chronic migraines and this is like having my own personal spa. The wrap is weighted and provides a wonderful moist heat that is very comforting. I also used this when I had a sinus infection and soft, warm weight on my cheeks felt very healing. Highly recommend!”
