Does anyone know where I can buy a rice bag - the kind you put in the microwave for 2 minutes and then use for an ache or a pain? I forgot mine.

Thank you.

They sell them on Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more

I've always just put rice in a man's athletic sock and tied the top. Good for a very long time.

Always works for me. I store mine in the beer frig freezer compartment. Keeps the rice from going bad.

Yup...you can make them in a tube sock. You can also stitch the open end as well.

Okay, now I really feel dumb!!! I gather from the posts that a Rice Bag, is something to help with aches. Am I correct? How does one use this, and exactly what do you use it for? I really am amazed how much I learn from this site. Thanks in advance for educating me. Trish

You heat it quickly in the microwave and use it like you would a heating pad

Does storing it in the beer fridge make it work BETTER?

Again-thank you I never would have thought of that!

I like the rice bag better than a heating pad - more flexible and you don't have to be near an outlet!

Who woulda thunk it?

And if you're not the DIY type, they sell the rice bags at Walgreen's & CVS & I think they also have them at Sweetbay. I have 2 that I bought here somewhere... the kind with the handles on the ends so I can hang them from a hook in the closet.

No one has mentioned when one goes to wear the sock the next time... the rice must be removed.
