Weighted blankets, pin sharpening cushions, weighted stuffies, eye pillows
We bought this to make weighted eye pillows that could be sanitized, but since then we have found so many uses for this sand. Great alternative to plastic products. Eco-friendly….

Pricy, but works
I wanted this to make a heating pack. I make typically make them with flax seed but the smell gets to me after awhile so I wanted to try this sand.Pros: I purchased this b/c it is supposed to be better for retaining heat and have no smell. It does retain heat well. It is Packaged well.Cons: it is expensive for 3.5 pounds. The pillow is small!I would love to see a bigger back at a better price. I would love to make these for family and friends but the price will not allow me to do that. Overall I am happy with what I made with it.

As advertised.
Purchased real lava rock candle holders in Iceland and needed the sand to surround them in a tray on the counter. Thus worked perfectly. True to form decoration.

I like it and not like it too.
I will say what I like of the lava sand heated bag first. I made some heated bags with this lava sand after doing research on what is the best stuffing. It lasts fairly long time of warmth. It doesn’t not get too hot. And the most I like about it is that it doesn’t smell like beans or corn kernels.But it gets too much heated up easily. It’s not evenly heated. So it burns the bag . I have to turn it and shake it every 30 seconds for the small ones. But it still gets some burnt part.

Average sand, astronomical price
After reading all the hype, I expected soooo much more. I opened it immediately, and put it in a glass cup with another cup of water next to it per instructions. I microwaved it 3 minutes and it was barely warm. So I went another 2 minutes. Sand was moderately warm, (about as warm as if I put my rice bag in for 1 min instead of the 2 I usually do) but the glass cup the sand was in was scalding after those 5 min. I needed hot pads to get the cup out of the microwave, but could pour the sand directly in my hand and it was comfortable. I thought, maybe since it took so long to heat, it would cool equally slow. So I checked it every 5 min. It cooled much faster than my regular rice bag. I am disappointed on both points. They were accurate on one thing though, it has no odor.

This lava sand is rather pricey but seems to work very well.
This lava sand is rather pricey but seems to work very well. I can’t speak to the heat-holding capabilities because I got it for gardening and for an aquarium. For my purposes, it is working great and looks great.
