[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pleasantly surprised by this one, I’m not sure what I was expecting but this has been way more useful than I originally anticipated. It’s perfectly sized to hold against your stomach, and seems surprisingly well constructed. Solid stitching, good bean/filling distribution so they’re held firmly enough in place and it’s oddly adorable which I didn’t think I would care about but is a pleasantly nice touch. the heat holds pretty well, which is arguable the most important component!
It is very safe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My whole family has used this little guy! I get pretty bad cramps the first two days of my cycle and heat helps a lot so I used it pretty heavily during that time. But even after we have almost all have had a chance to use it, I kinked my neck up the other day so I have been using it for that as well. My kids love it because it feels so comfortable and warm plus I am sure the smell is super soothing to them. The smell really comes out after you heat it up, and it really is soothing! Plus it is adorable so you can’t beat that. This would be a superb gift for anyone!
Adorable and useful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary from Influenster- The packaging and this product are adorable. I love the color, the fur, and the design for the face is the cutest. It does a great job of heating up to the perfect temperature for cramps. It also is quite sturdy, while not being too heavy. I would definitely suggest this to anyone looking for a product to help with pain from cramps!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, Menstruation Crustacean is such a funny name that draws you towards this product! After heating it up for a minute, this octopus is so comforting to place anywhere you are feeling sore/uncomfortable, especially the lower abdomen or lower back. This Happy Helper is lavender scented which instantly helped me to feel relaxed. Cute and fun product!
adorable but stick wth a regular heating pad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this heating pad is adorable and it does have a lavender scent. but honestly the heat doesn’t stay for long and for some reason after i microwaved it, the heating pad was wet. i’m not sure if it was the lavender oils or something in it? but it got me wet and the lavender smell was everywhere and it wasn’t the best scent. cute concept but not good quality at all.
Cute and warm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great alternative to a traditional plug in heating pad. It actually gets pretty warm and it worked great for me and I have endometriosis. It stayed hot longer than I thought would love to see how it holds up on a car ride.
Adorable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this thing, it's a funny concept but it's super cute and useful. I have a similar stuffed animal from Warmies, but I would chose this brand over that one any day. I like how it has the heating instructions on the tag so you don't need to google it every time. It heats up very quick and it stays warm for a really long time. I was worried the smell would be similar to the Warmies but it's a lot less intense and it smells like real lavender. The shape is also better for use as a heating pad because it's flat.
Small and smelly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two things I don’t like about this: 1) the size and 2) the scent. The size is pretty small to be a heating pad and the scent is very very overpowering. It does heat up nicely and stay warm for a long time which is helpful but overall, would not purchase.
