Zhu-Zhu Plush Hot Bottle Body Warmer - Microwavable Wheat Bag - Microwave Heat Pad with Lavender (Pink)

So, I had a friend whos hot water bottle burst on them and scalded them all over their legs. So we having kids thought it safest to not use them anymore and looked for alternatives.We bought this wheat bag thing, and have not really used it much. The younger kids didn't like the lavender scent (But they are kids after all- I thought it was really nice) but thought it more a novelty.Fast forward a month or so, I'm just stood there minding my own business when I get a back spasm (I've torn my back muscles 3 times so have long term issues)It hurt. I mean I've never had it that bad. I thought heat is the best, so took this bad boy out. Now each microwave has different power settings, but ours is 700w, and to get the bag hot we leave it in for 3.5 -4 mins.It the bad really helped, just like a hot water bottle would, but better.Now I say better because1. The heat isn't scolding like water in a bottle.2. The bag is wheat so it conforms to your body shape (Like moulded to my back shape)3. I love the scent (But that's personal preference)Three things to remember with this bag though.1. When hot it is damp(ish) due to the wheat absorbing moisture. Not a big deal in my opinion, but some people may not like it.2. After a few uses when you use it again you need to microwave the bag with a small glass of water as to rehydrate the wheat. (The last thing you want is the wheat becoming so dry it scorches, and to burn it you would have to leave it in for ages and not watch it)3. When microwaving it, just keep an eye on it. Pop it on for say 2 mins, take it out feel the warmth mix it a bit and pop it back in until the desired heat level is reached (4 mins for us gets it nice and hot)I would recommend this product.It's easier and safer than hot water in a bottle, and I hope my review is of some help.

Amazing alternative to a normal hot water bottle. Wonderful scent to it, too. Just pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes to obviate dangerous, time-consuming and expensive hot water bottles. The heat doesn't last all night, but perfect for heating up a bed on a old night. Highly recommended.

Nice & soft. Heats quickly. Only downside is that it does not stay warm for long

Great little microwavable hottie. I give it five stars as it seems to retain the heat for longer that others I have used.

Very good item. Keeps the heat. Microwaves Well. Does get a bit sweaty when heated up hence 3*. Also I do think it’s quite expensive

Nice soft material and works very well

Brought this for my mum as she has problems holding things and I was worried about her filling her bottle with hot water ,this is great ,just pop it in the microwave and it's hot enough for her to use and lasts a long time.
