Hotties Fleece Micro Hottie Microwavable Heat Pad
Hot water bottles can help you stay warm in cold winter months, and also relieve aches and pains through heat therapy. Unfortunately however, most standard hot water bottles carry a risk of injury as the water inside them is not very carefully contained. Designed to provide a safe yet effective alternative, the Hotties Fleece Micro Hottie Microwavable Heat Pad contains a special microwaveable heating pack that can retain heat for up to four hours.
What's Included?
- 1 x Fleece Micro Hottie
- 1 x Hotties Thermal Pack

Additionally, they are completely free from toxic or explosive gel, flammable materials or grains and seed, so they won't mould in damp environments.

How Does the Hottie Help to Relieve Aches and Pains?
Heat therapy is well-known natural method of providing pain relief. By stimulating the flow of oxygen and nutrients affected area, heat can encourage the body to heal and release stiffness. Simultaneously, it can interrupt the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

The cover itself is made from ultra-soft acrylic fleece that feels just like lambswool and adds an added layer of insulation as well as luxury. This cover can also be removed and machine washed.

How Long Should I Heat My Hottie For?
It is best to heat your Hottie from cold, following the timing guidelines in the table below. So you won't have to re-heat your Hottie while it's still cooling down, you may want to have a spare handy so you can alternate between them.
| Microwave Code | Power Level (IEC 705) | Recomended Heating Time |
| B | 650 Watts | 3.5 Minutes |
| C or D | 750 Watts | 3 Minutes |
| D or E | 850 Watts | 2.5 Minutes |
| E | 1000 Watts | 2 Minutes |
How Does the Hottie Work?
Hotties are thermal heat packs containing plant based material and water, which warms up when microwaved. As there are no water currents within the heat pack the transfer of energy from the centre of the pack to the outside takes longer, meaning it stays warmer for longer.
Is the Hottie Safe to Use?
Hotties are very safe to use compared to conventional water bottles as they don't contain any gels or seeds, and won't explode if heated too much. However, you should always use your Hotties Replacement Pack with the Hotties cover supplied, or with a hot water bottle cover to avoid burning yourself on the pack.
Who Can Safely Use the Micro Hottie?
The Hotties Microwaveable Hot Water Bottle should be very safe for use by most people. However, if you have Diabetes or a lack of sensitivity, speak to your doctor before use.
Can I Wash My Hotties Cover?
To keep your Hotties cover clean and fresh, you can machine wash it whenever necessary. Simply place it on a cool-temperature wash (max. 40°C) with similarly coloured clothing.
