I didn’t mind it being orange though, nice color, great price, perfect to place on my neck pillow and get some pain relief

Plastic pieces are glued unevenly. As a result some pieces are held by tiny amount of glue and about come off shortly. Other brands use additional piece attached to non working side of the pad and that piece piercing through the pad to snap with complementary part. Such the design guarantees secured bonding plastic pieces. I don't recommend this product

This is a must have thing for everyone. This is acupuncture at its best. Headache and muscle pain and back pain go away: just press this mat against the area you fill discomfort. I use it for more than 25 years! I have it in my travel bag.

It is helpful. My husband uses it a lot.

I wasn’t really sure how to use this applicator pad until I hit on the idea of running the instructions (all in Ukrainian) through a translator. I have included most of the translated pages here- I can’t vouch for their accuracy though. I get a lot of benefit from acupuncture and I find this pad to have some similar sensations although you are obviously doing something different as it’s just a random application of many many plastic teeth to your skin that don’t break the surface or run along meridians. I do find it helpful for reducing muscle tension and pain, however. There is quite a lot of pain at first but after a few minutes it is more of a warm tingling sensation and you can move around/flex your muscles and joints to increase the sensation. I have only used it on my bed, it suggests working your way up to a hard surface but I’m pretty happy with the way it works on a bed. The round needle teeth are glued onto the fabric pad so I’m not sure how well it will stand up to continued use. I wouldn’t share this item with others, it seems like a personal use item to be utilized after showering as you are supposed to use it on bare skin.

I will start by saying that accupressure mat's aren't for everyone. Some people can't handle the sharpness of the mat on their body. My husband couldn't handle the sharpness of the mat even through his clothing. I would recommend using the mat over your clothing. I own a larger sized accupressure mat that I am able to lay my entire body down on, so I knew what to expect when I received this mat. This smaller mat functions and feels the same as my larger mat. I personally enjoy the feeling of the sharp edges on the areas of my body where I'm experiencing pain and tension. I feel a sense of temporary tension and stress relief as well as pain relief while using this mat. This mat is smaller in size, which makes it portable and easy to move to targeted areas on the body such as neck, shoulders, areas on the back, etc. I like to use this mat while I am relaxing and watching something at night. I will start with the mat near my lower head and neck, and then about every 3-5 minutes I move it down slowly where I end up to my lower back. If you keep the mat in place for too long it can get uncomfortable, so that's why I move it periodically. This mat seems to be of decent quality and that one could use it for a decent amount of time before it breaks. I am happy with the functionality of this mat. This mat does not come with any English instructions, but you could always look online for acupressure points and the appropriate use of this mat.
