By adjusting the wrapping length of the connecting strap 40, its carrying length is adjusted. Thus, one connecting strap 40 can be fixed in place while the other is wrapped around the limiting bar 52 and its length adjusted to flexibly accommodate different circumferences.

[0030] Specifically, an operating switch is attached to the outer surface of the body, a circuit board 60 is arranged in the inner cavity 1, the operating switch is integrated on the circuit board 60, and the operating switch includes a heating on / off button 61 and a vibration on / off button 62. These serve to set the heating level of the heating structure 3 and the vibration level of the vibration structure 2, respectively.

[0031] In some embodiments, several indicator lights 63 are also mounted on the circuit board 60. These lights serve to emit corresponding light signals when the heating structure 3 and the vibration structure 2 are in operation, in order to indicate the operating status of the massage and heating device. This allows the user to intuitively ascertain the operating status of the massage and heating device.

[0032] Instructions for use: Remove the device, place the side of the body with the skin-friendly layer 11 on body parts such as the abdomen, and secure it with both connecting straps 40 and the adjustment loop 50.
