I like the long heat but mask is a little uncomfortable
I was looking forward to this product after my doctor recommended it to me. She said the longer heat (20 minutes) could be better than using my microwaveable mask for 5-10 minutes.
The Pros:
-I love that I don't have to go downstairs every night to microwave this. It will motivate me to use it more often!
-I also like the longer heat. The instructions say you only need to activate 1 mask per session. However, I found that after 10-12 minutes it isn't as warm as I would like and I activate the second one and move that to the front. I don't mind doing this and it still allows for longer heat.
- I like the moist heat that putting the dampened liner on gives.
The Cons:
-The mask is quite uncomfortable. When the gel crystalizes, it gets lumpy and the bumps that stick out create uneven and uncomfortable pressure on my eyes that takes a lot of adjusting. The silicon mask also puts uncomfortable pressure on my nose and forehead.
- The gel packs don't really fit well in the silicon mask. They are difficult to put in and smooth out. I feel like if it was just a bit bigger they would lay more flat. I might try using the heat packs and damp liner just laying on top of my eyes instead.
-The product is quite expensive.
Overall, I would recommend this product if you like the longer, very moist heat without having to go microwave something. However, I think the product could be made more comfortable.
