do you like a hot water bottle? do you have a cover on it

[WillowTit]

i love a hot water bottle,
but i dont want a cover, i want it hot

I did but I've swapped to an electric heat pad which I love
When my endo pain is really bad I have the electric heat pad on my back and the cats heated gel disc on my stomach

Yes I do and have a cover. It's very warm. It would burn me without a cover.

I have fluffy and …. An Actual sheepskin covered ones.

No I didn’t think through the washing of sheepskin. It is very insulated though.

Yes I love it and its fluffy cover

As a kid I remember having a stone hot water bottle, it was bloody roasting.

For the expiry the should be changed every 2/3 years. The newer bottles have this which shows when it was made. The petals are the months and the groves inside are the weeks (I think) so this was made 2nd week of April 2023. Something I recently found out and then replaced my old ones as it didn't have this flower so was very old

I love them without a cover. I like to feel them scalding hot but, I did burn myself very badly a few weeks ago, when I feel asleep with it on my stomach. I had a large blister and it took a long time to heal so I am more careful now.

Good god use the cover!!!!!! My housemate had a hole in the cover and slept through it burning her. Skin graft.

Rechargeable hot water bottle, that can be worn

My father got badly burned by an uncovered water bottle. He hadn't noticed it and just felt toasty but the next day the blistering came up and the scar left on his foot looks like a chunk had been bitten from it.

I still like a hot water bottle but it's definitely in a cover and I move it about periodically

Yes, it’s a pink and blue unicorn and it’s called Princess Dave.
hardly use it though

I love a hot water bottle (or two), but have never used a cover in my life. I want them to be hot.

Yes and it has a crocheted cover that I made myself.

Ooh! Mine hasn't got that although I bought it about a year ago. I aim to change them annually now after having had a few leaks, one of which scalded the back of my ankle.

Have you got a rechargeable one, @Itisyourturntowashthebath ? Does it get really nice and hot?

I had skin grafts for 3rd degree burns from an uncovered hot water bottle as a child.
