Can the pad be under you while in operation?

Yes! The pad can remain under you while plugged in and in use. There is a cloth/flannel outside liner that slips over the pad and can be removed for laundering. I was unaware that the owners manual said not to lay on it but that is the only way I use it.

It says not to do that in the manual... but I do. Have had mine for several years and so far no problem. Just have to adjust the temp setting down a bit so as not to burn yourself. I never expect more then several years out of a blanket because of how hard I use it.

On page 10 of the manual, [caution #5] says "Do not use while sleeping. Do not sit on or crush pad. Do not wet." It doesn't say anything else about it being under you while in operation. However, on page 10 there are 13 numbered cautions on burn or skin injury. It is a terrific heating pad. My husband and I each have our own pad.

The instructions indicate that you should not sleep on the pad. However, because my problems are with my back and I am unable to sleep on my stomach for other reasons, I sleep on the pad and always have. Nothing has ever happened and I have been doing it for probably six years.

Im not sure. I have mine outside but its under a covered area. To be on the safe side I would bring the cushion inside.

You could put something under your shoulders and mid back making sure you are at a slight incline towards the toilet seat. You don't want to be too flat as you don't want to get wet accidentally.

Not that I can tell. I would imagine a cool pad would do enough but overall no. It is normal..

The pad here (the mini) is very flexible. I wrap it around my knee but you could also wrap it around an arm. It flexes in between the jade disks.

Hi, Well, it depends how I'm moving around. If you soaked the little pad inside it should do it for you. :-)

It is not silent, but not noisey either. a good pad underneath would limit the noise.

You may want a pad just to avoid permanent indentions in your carpet if you move machine. Of course it isn't that hard to move if you decide you need a pad later?

yes as you do not want your feet to touch the bottom when using the belt to exercise.

It has a pad about the size of an iPhone that helps keep the strap in place but not really for comfort.

Yes, it should fit for the purpose of having the pad kept close to the lower back, not for mobile activities.

You could remove the rubber butt pad completely and buy a slip-on LimpSaver butt pad. That would allow you to slip on and off when you needed to get the stored contents.

No, you may be able to let air out while it is conected but not in a specific amount.

Yes, there is a valve on the back of the pad so you can adjust it to your liking.

You can sit in a chair or lay down. It is pretty big for a chair. I don't recommend this pad covering moves all over the place. Hard to regulate the time and temperature

I bought an electric pad like that and I sent it back as the cloth is too thin and the wiring is too close to the cloth. I wouldn't trust an electric pad like that with anything. I wouldn't trust it on high, or low or any in between. I think the pad would be too dangerous. Read in between the lines with all the other answers.

The could be use for installation. The problem is the pad is not very thick
