I have spent the last 2 hours researching online but I would like personal experience if you have it. Or alternative recommendations to the Hotties thermal hot waterbottle, that seems to fit all the scenarios below.
1- v old blind relative who needs heat during day but won't put fire on and would rely on carer to heat so would need it to be simple.
2- mum with previously broken wrist and hand now crippled with arthritis, can operate microwave. but is diabetic.- told Hotties best by 'professional' at the chemist/pharmacy but i'm sceptical as they don't stock anything else.
3- 9 year old with chronic growing pains and mummy killed her cozybear wheatbag last night :( I would just get her a new one if they still made them. But she didn't like the original wheatbag smell when it was new, so can't just get any old wheat-bag either. But I need something urgently as I'm not happy to put her in bed with my ceramic heat pad unless things are really bad.
Nerve damaged person who cannot feel temperature will be operating microwave for scenario 3 and almost cooked hands on cozybear last night. Cozybear now carbon based bear :(. I also don't want to give the others a product that will scald or explode/ overcook on them either.
A traditional hot water bottle is not an option.
Any help gratefully recieved
