Product Description The Hottie is the leading microwaveable hot water bottle, using unique patented technology, which means no filling with boiling water and no dangerous gels or waxes. Simple to use, the Hottie never needs refilling or emptying, and has no tricky stoppers. CE registered as a Class 1 medical device, the Hottie delivers the real therapeutic benefit of gentle sustained heat as well as comfort and warmth.Each Hottie consists of a factory sealed, engineered laminate pouch containing only water absorbed on to a medical grade nonwoven pad. This is the thermal pack, also called the heat pad or thermal core. The thermal pack is contained in a lambswool cover providing insulation and ensuring comfortable lasting heat--heats up in minutes in the microwave and stays warm for hours. Hotties are energy and water saving. They will save you money compared to conventional hot water bottles.Every Hottie comes with comprehensive use and safety instructions; Hotties have 10 years of customer satisfaction providing safety, convenience, comfort and warmth. Directions See leaflet P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Safety Warning Read instructions carefullySpecial Precautionary NoticeIt has come to our attention that Hottie thermal packs are being damaged by use in the small chamber microwave ovens that are now on the market. The damage appears as holes of melted plastic in one or more corners of the plastic pouch. This may occur on the first time of use, and may therefore easily be mistaken for a manufacturing defect.The damage occurs when the Hottie thermal pack is unable to rotate freely. The pack does not need to become trapped to cause this damage, which may in some cases result from a very short interruption to rotation.If your microwave oven is small--17 litre or less--or your turntable is less than 25 cm diameter or rotation of the pack is impeded in any way, you should not use that microwave to heat your Hottie in the normal way.It is possible to gently roll your thermal pack and secure with an elastic band. Some customers have found this satisfactory in smaller microwaves.From March 1st 2011, we will no longer replace free of charge thermal packs which show this type of damage. We thank the many loyal customers whose feedback has helped us identify the cause of this problem.We are working to produce a thermal pack which will both fit smaller microwave ovens and maintain the high standards of warmth, comfort and safety our customers have come to expect from Hotties.Warning: Do not overheat. Warming this product to high temperatures beyond instructions can lead to the leakage of hot and hazardous liquid.If your microwave oven has a capacity of 17 litres or smaller, with a chamber dimension width that prevents the Hottie rotating freely, this product will not be suitable.

Small but effective
A lovely, easy to use product. Not too big so can be used on specific areas for heat relief.

Easy to use.
My wife says this does not stay hot long enough, I'm ok with it. She wanted me to return it but the return was refused. I've tried looking for that 'no returns' information in the sales pitch but I can't find it!

Viable alternative to hot water bottle
The key point in assessing this product is to avoid a direct comparison with hot water bottles. You will not get the same level of immediate heat that boiling water provides. Rather, this item offers a lower level of heat for a longer period. So it may be a less useful choice in very cold weather. However, I find this slight potential disadvantage to be more than outweighed by the convenience: no more risk of scalded hands filling a real hot water bottle, or need for emptying.The manufacturer seems to be cautious about how long to put this item in the microwave for. I found through careful experimentation I can get a slightly longer time than stated, without the the bottle overheating and swelling up. I do turn the bottle over half-way through, to help ensure an even heat distribution.Lastly, the makers have done a nice job on the cosmetic aspects: the tartan cover is pleasing, and the fake handle is actually useful in getting hold of the bottle (and can be tucked underneath during heating).So, when used as intended this is an excellent product.

Do the job but pack does not last for very long...
This really helped with my back pain but I have not used for a while but needed to use again this week but I ended up with wet clothes due to a leakage with the core pack, I have had the same problem with one I bought previously, so yes good at what it does but these packs need to be sturdier so they don’t leak.. I followed guide lines for both of them but I now have to buy new ones...

Brilliant, easy to use, & no risk of leaks!
I suffer from painful joints due to arthritis, & find the Hottie delivers gentle, soothing warmth to ease pain, especially at night. Ideal, easy & safe, no more juggling with a hot kettle to fill up! Fab!
