Where can I buy one of those long hot water bottles?

Was going to get one on Amazon but they’re not going to come in time, has anyone seen them in the shops?
Suppose I could google but genuinely thought of MN first 😂

Dunelm has a few different styles.

I was given one from M&S I think it was. sitting in the wardrobe unused. If you’re anywhere near me you can have the thing OP

TheChosenTwo · 13/09/2024 22:00

Oh marvellous, thanks - that was simple!
There’s one not too far away, will go over tomorrow 🙂

Yep - Dunelm

They’re rubbish. I wanted one for ages but hardly use it. Impossible to fill from a hot tap!!

Ah that’s kind! I don’t ever use them but someone suggested it for warming up after open water swimming, sort of draping it round your neck, and I’ve seen a few people doing it so I think it’s worth trying…

I use mine all the time. I just hold it up and fill it from a jug

TheChosenTwo · 13/09/2024 22:02

Thanks @NailedUp - I don’t think we have a B&M near us but I’ve been to one before, it’s like Wilkinson’s - full of random things you never realised might be useful!

Hmm. It should be okay filling from a kettle?!
Hopefully?!

I got mine in Home Bargains last winter. I absolutely love it. DH and the kids each have their own one as well. They just get filled up using a normal kettle. No difficulties at all.

Fleecedandzipped · 13/09/2024 22:03

I have one, but I rarely use it. It needs a whole kettle full of water and it loses its heat quite quickly. I prefer the standard shape.

TheChosenTwo · 13/09/2024 22:05

I’ll report back - mixed reviews on here so far but I don’t need it to be hot for long, just warm would be fine, hell I’d settle for just not freezing 😂

I think argos have several too, when I was looking for a mini one I saw a few listed.

starsinyourpies · 13/09/2024 22:08

Cancer research had some in their range of 'new' stuff that looked lovely

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 13/09/2024 22:12

I bought dh one fir his perennial cold feet. It was always cold before he got to bed.

SunMootStars · 13/09/2024 22:22

I've seen them in Primark if you have one close by ?

UmopapIsdn · 13/09/2024 22:26

I cant live without mine! Takes a full kettle but there's no issues actually filling it. I like mine wrapped round my waist and find it warms me quickly that way. If the small of my back is warm the rest of me is!

If you have a pet they’re going to suddenly become even more cuddly and you’ll have to share it Grin

We love ours. I also got my husband a round the neck bottle from Dunelm, which he didn't take to but I have now taken over.

No soecs on

NashvilleQueen · 13/09/2024 22:28

I give up

Thistooshallpass24 · 13/09/2024 22:29

What you want is a baby carrier/backpack hybrid that holds a regular hot water bottle! Dead simple to sew also good for watching sports with it tucked under your coat

You don’t have a B&M? How do you buy random storage crap you don’t need?
