Although this heating pad is designed for your neck and shoulders, I've also enjoyed warming it up and placing it on my belly to help with menstrual cramps and bloating. Since it's such a large heating pad, you could lay on your belly and put it on your lower back, use it for sore legs, or place it on your chest to help relieve congestion. This can also be placed in the freezer and used to reduce inflammation, or just to feel cooler on a hot day.
