I love these bags and use mine a lot. To keep them in place on your back or arm, you can sew straps into the side seams with velcro on the ends to secure them.

When you have any aches or pains, I KNOW it feels so great with heat, but the advice from all doctors is ICE. Should we make pretty ICE bags? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but it works!!!!

I have several of these. I take one to bed with me in order to warm my feet at night. I also have one that goes over my head and warms my shoulders. Love them.

The bags can be put in the freezer when you need a cold pack. Just slip it into a plastic bag first.

They used to use these on the mother/baby floor at the hospital. Until someone got burnt ( BE CAREFUL !!!!!).
They used a tube sock.
I have a grandson as a baby had alot of tummy problems, so i made one for him out of rice. would put it on my lap then lay a towel over it then lay him over it with his tummy down. It helped it alot.

You can make the neck bags as well. Just google to find the pattern. Remember to add extra for the seam allowance. The one I found on line a while back was too small so I added extra for the seam allowance. Fit like a glove.

Does anyone else use these. They stayed warm a while too, surprised me.
I need one of those quilting things that we wear and it has a
"weighted" bag for our posture. I tend to bend while I sew . Looking forward to more ideas on what we can us to sew longer with less stiffness and aches and pains.
These are just adorable. And the rice stays nice and warm on those aching muscles, I'm sure.

My friend has one shaped like a cat but she complains that it is too small so I have to make a longer one for her. The body is a rectangle, made with a couple of prints. Small rectangles are the four paws and tail. The head is a circle,stuffed and sewn on,with added ears and embroidered features. I plan to use rice in the body. I was wondering how to avoid a fire in the microwave and a removable rice sack sounds like a good idea!

I have used these forever it seems. Now my chiropractor says do not use heat.........use ice. But, the heat feels soooo good!

Wow, thanks ladies! I made long rice bags to place on the quilt top when I have "extra" fabric that needs quilting out, but I had NO IDEA I could heat it and use it for sore muscles! My husband has neck problems and I am going to make him one TODAY! Thank you so very much!
