Who else swears by their electric heat pack, throw rug or hot water bottle? ๐โโ๏ธ
Always make sure you only buy electric heating equipment that meets relevant safety standards and check it has the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM). Only ever buy electrical items from a registered seller or supplier!
Our friends over at recommend to NEVER use boiling water to fill up a hot water bottle, and to only ever use hot tap water to avoid burning yourself. You should also never leave a hot water bottle on one part of the body for more than 20 minutes. Remember, electric hot water bottles are not user refillable
