I really didn’t believe when i ordered it that it would stand up to it claims, however I have been using it on a daily basis for 4 weeks and, what can I say, it does work. Lying on my back was uncomfortable in the beginning, but after a a warm sensation spread throughout my entire body. But it sure is spiky! I though I might be able to use the spikes with no top on but it was very painful. There’s one occasion when I scratched one of my fingers on one of the spikes and it was sharp enough to pierce the skin, ensure young children cannot get at it.
