Air-activated, so the warming starts the moment you open the pouch — no microwave, no cable, around twenty minutes of gentle warmth, then bin it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 10-pack is better value per mask than a single 5-pack, it lets you find out which scent you actually like before committing, and because our shipping is a flat rate per parcel regardless of weight, the bigger box costs you nothing extra to receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe caveat is the same as on the 5-pack, and we would rather you read it first. Lula is a comfort mask, not a therapeutic warm compress. Warm compression treats meibomian gland dysfunction because the oil in a blocked gland only softens above a certain temperature, and a 2024 evidence review in Ophthalmology and Therapy puts that target at an eyelid temperature of \u003cstrong\u003eat least 40°C\u003c\/strong\u003e held for \u003cstrong\u003eat least 10 minutes, once daily\u003c\/strong\u003e. Normal meibum melts across roughly 19–45°C, and in MGD the thickened meibum sits at the top of that range, often above body temperature (37°C) — which is why body heat alone never clears a blocked gland. For scale, the same review found a hot towel or facecloth holds the eyelid above 40°C for only the first minute and drops below target within two minutes, so it would need reheating every two minutes to be any use at all. A mask built to feel pleasant for twenty minutes is built for comfort, not for softening meibum. If you have diagnosed MGD or evaporative dry eye, buy the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/iflo-usb-heated-eye-mask\"\u003eiFlo USB mask\u003c\/a\u003e or the reusable \u003ca href=\"\/products\/opti-soothe-moist-heat-eye-mask\"\u003eOpti-Soothe\u003c\/a\u003e instead. Buy Lula for comfort, and those for treatment. A lot of our patients quite sensibly own both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it’s for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who already knows they like Lula and wants to stop reordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTired eyes after screen-heavy days, headaches and migraines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequent flyers, shift workers and anyone who travels with them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouseholds sharing a box, or a gift where you do not know the preferred scent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the product for diagnosed MGD — see above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions we get asked\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat exactly is in the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTen individually pouched masks — two each of Lavender, Jasmine, Rose, Vanilla and Unscented.

That is comfortable warmth rather than the sustained heat gland treatment needs — at least 10 minutes at an eyelid temperature of 40°C or above, once daily, per a 2024 evidence review in Ophthalmology and Therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reheat them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Each mask is air-activated and single use. Once the pouch is open it is spent — do not microwave one, and bin it after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy ten instead of five?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetter value per mask, and you get to work out which scent you like. Our shipping is a flat rate per parcel regardless of weight, so the larger box does not cost you more to receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSealed in their pouches, somewhere cool and dry — they begin warming as soon as air reaches them, so an open or damaged pouch is a wasted mask. Check the pouch for a use-by date, and keep them out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill ten of them treat my MGD?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProbably not, and we would rather tell you that than sell you ten.
