I can’t explain how much I love this wearable hot water bottle. Best invention ever and has helped me on so many days, I’ve lost count.

5 weeks post surgery and still a tad depressed. However consultant follow up is next week. Thank goodness!!!!

Hope you’re all doing well today.

Literally life changing! Was contemplating buying a second, front and back on at the same time!

Haha!!! I like your thinking!!! I’ve got a couple of those amazing extra long ones too. Plus a neck one. I think I’d look amazing with them all on!! ;)

I’m this person too. I have two for my work desk, long and normal. And upstairs/downstairs ones at home. Literally permanently attached 😂

I use a rechargeable one, I’ve got two and spare batteries 😂 I can then use it all day and at night.

I got all bruises all on my tummy after using hot water bottles a lot. I looked it up and apparently it’s from prolonged heat exposure, so I’ve stopped using them. It doesn’t hurt but it’s not gone and it’s been a month.

Oh no!!! Gosh, were they too hot maybe? Don’t know what I’d do without mine.

I did have them quite hot, I kept it in its cover but I did put it under my top instead of over it but it didn’t help me if it wasn’t hot enough. I was worried I might be causing damage so haven’t been using one even when I want to.

I had those too, mine didn't go away for months! It's called Erythema Ab Igne. I was putting the hot water bottle directly onto my belly or over a thin t-shirt which wasn't enough of a barrier! Once I started putting it on top of jumpers and making sure it had a cover on it etc, it was fine. I love the look of these wearable ones! I'll have to get one :)

It didn’t help when I was putting it over a top so I don’t bother doing that, I just don’t use them at all. I don’t know if I was basically burning myself when I was using it under my top but it helped anyway even if I was.

It’s Amazon. If you just type in cute wearable hot water bottle it should pop up.
