Hotties Purple Fleece Micro Hottie Microwavable Heat Pad
Hot water bottles can make winter much more manageable, but they can also put you at risk of burns and can be annoying to refill. The Hotties Purple Fleece Micro Hottie Microwavable Heat Pad can keep you warm and cosy just like a standard hot water bottle, but it is far safer, provides up to four hours of heat and is supplied in a compact, portable size.

Provides Targeted Pain Relief
By stimulating the flow of oxygen and nutrients affected area, heat can encourage the body to heal and release stiffness, while simultaneously interrupting pain signals to the brain. This particular body warmer is extra small, so can be used to relieve pain in smaller areas of the body like the neck and face. Some conditions it is especially suitable for managing include:
- Arthritis
- Dental Pain
- Muscle Tears
- Joint Pain
- Neck Pain
- Period Pain
- Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
- Pregnancy Pain
Soft Fleece Cover
The Micro Hottie is supplied with a polyester fleece cover that is soft to the touch and helps trap heat so your heat pad stays warmer for longer. It also ensures the heat pack is not in direct contact with your skin so it does not burn you, and is made from resilient material for better product longevity.
Extra Small Size
The Micro Hottie compact size offers a range of benefits that you wouldn't get from a larger heat pad warmer. Not only does it mean it is easier to carry for heat therapy on the go, it is also the perfect size for holding against small parts of your body like your hands or jaw. It is also a good size for keeping food warm, as it can be easily slipped underneath a plate.

How Does the Fleece Micro Hottie Work?
Every Hotties warmer contains a combination of plant based materials and water which are safely sealed inside its heat pack. As the liquid does not slosh around as much as it might in a hot water bottle, heat does not escape from the pack as easily, meaning it keeps you warmer for longer.

Is the Hottie Safe to Use?
Hotties are very safe compared to many similar body warmers as they don't contain any gels or seeds, and won't burst if heated too much. However, you should always use your Hotties Replacement Pack with the Hotties cover supplied to avoid burning yourself.

The Hotties Microwaveable Heat Pad should be very safe for use by most people. However, if you have Diabetes or a general lack of physical sensation, speak to your doctor before use.
