You dont need to

If it feels warm, its just right
While we have made serious advancements in PE theory in the last few years, I still feel like we are trying to over complicate everything.
The point is that heat is required to remodel the tissues. So long as you are close, you will get the desired effect.
For example, I have been having fantastic results with a rice sock. I have Totalman heat pad but because I use a bib hanger, its useless (until my pump arrives which is what I really want it for)
Getting the basics right (minimum weight possible + heat + time = results) is 90% of the way there.
People need to stop sweating the small stuff and get the basics right first
