Heating pads for shoulders

I am looking for specific shoulder heating pads that conform to the shoulder joint. I saw one on Amazon but it didn't have that good of a rating. The square heating pads do not conform to the front joint part of the shoulder  where I need it most and I can move around a little bit. Does anyone know of a site that sells these kinds of heating pads? I have thought of heated motorcycle apparrel and some of it may work but they don't have anything for the shoulder.

    I use the stick on kind - icy hot. I also get the roll on bio-freeze from Amazon/chiro. And...I have tens unit when pain is bad that zaps it. Between the 3 I can control. Also, heating pads scare me somewhat bc of the electricity and heat. My fault but I fell asleep for 1 hour and had a burn. Stupid mistake but it felt good - it was the shiatsu machine.

    A pad I like is called "thermal on".  I like so much I have two.  Put in microwave for 1 minute.  It's size is about 8"x12". Can also put in freezer for cool. But I've not done that. I got off Amazon too.

    I saw a mind and body neck and shoulder wrap at the drugstore this week.  I think it is made by sunbeam.   I did a google search and found a few other shoulder wraps online but I only have a standard heating pad.     I hope you find something  you like
