Hotties Blue Tartan Microwaveable Heat Pad

Raynaud's disease can be especially difficult to manage during the winter months, when even a short period outdoors can trigger a bad attack. With a slim, lightweight design and up to four hours of heat retention, the Hotties Blue Tartan Microwaveable Heat Pad is a great tool for helping your cope. It looks and functions very much like a hot water bottle, but is much safer as it does not use any fiddly stoppers or sloshy hot water, so can be used either in the home or on the go.

What's Included?

• 1 x Blue Tartan Hotties
• 1 x Hotties Thermal Pack

How Can the Hotties Heat Pad Help My Raynaud's Disease?

This hand sewn heat pad stays warm and toasty for up to four hours at a time and resembles the shape and size of a typical water bottle. It's therefore perfect for warming your torso or your extremities to prevent Raynaud's from developing, while its slim, lightweight design means it can easily be used at home or when you travel.

Can the Hotties Heat Pad Help with Pain?

Not only can this heat pad reduce Raynaud's symptoms by keeping you warm and promoting circulation, it can also soothe aches and pains. Heat therapy is a well-know, inexpensive, natural method of pain relief and is thought to work by increasing blood flow and oxygen to injured areas of the body, relaxing points of tension, and interrupting pain signals.

How Do I Use the Hotties Heat Pad?

The Hotties Heat Pad is very easy to prepare and use. Some brief instructions can be found below:

1. Take the heat pack out of its cover if it stops the table from rotating
2. Place it in your microwave, ensuring the table is able to turn
3. Set your microwave according to the table below
4. Flip your heat pad over halfway through heating
5. Allow to stand for a minute before use

Read the instructions provided with your Hotties heat pad thoroughly the first time you use it.

How Long Should I Heat My Hotties Heat Pad For? 

It is best to heat your Hotties heat pad from cold, following the timing guidelines in the table below. So you won't have to re-heat your Hotties warmer while it's still cooling down, you might want to have two so you can alternate between them.

How Does the Hotties Heat Pad 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 stays warmer for longer.

Can I Buy Replacement Hotties Thermal Inserts?

A spare or replacement Hotties heat pack is available for purchase. You can add the Hotties Replacement Thermal Inserts to your order by selecting them with the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

Is the Hotties Tartan Heat Pad Safe to Use?

Unlike many heat packs available on the market, the Hotties heat pad doesn't contain any gels or seeds, which means it is much less likely to burst aggressively if it is overheated. To properly protect yourself from burns and injuries when using your Hotties, you should never place the bare heat pad on your skin and should instead always use it with the cover provided.

Who Can Safely Use the Blue Heat Pack?

The Hotties Heat Pad can be safely used by most people as long as it is kept in its cover. However, if you have diabetes or a general lack of physical sensation, speak to your doctor before use.
