Abstract
A heating pad is disclosed. The heating pad is essentially "C-shaped" and is filled with a chemical composition. When activated by the triggering device, the chemical composition undergoes a reversible exothermic reaction and generates heat that warms the breast or other body part with which it is in contact. Because of its shape, the heating pad fits comfortably around the human female breast and efficiently transfers heat to the breast when activated. Also disclosed is an embodiment where the heating pad is connected to a breast pump so that the heating pad warms the breast while the breast pump is being used.
