Although using a hot water bottle may sound trivial here are 5 easy to remember tips that will help you get the most out of yours and keep you safe!

Tip #1

Never sit, lie or add excessive pressure to a hot water bottle as doing so can make it burst. If using one to heat up your bed, we recommend placing the hot water bottle under your blanket 5-10 minutes before you enter so that it is already warm by the time you want to go to sleep. Remove the hot water bottle before going to sleep and never try to sleep lying on top of one.

Tip #2

To avoid burns and similar injuries, always use a hot water bottle with a cover or alternatively wrap your bottle with a towel. Avoid contact with one part of the body for more than 20 minutes.

Tip #3

Never use boiling water with a hot water bottle as doing so can cause damage to the seams and there is a greater risk of injuries if something goes wrong. You can use boiling water which has been allowed to cool down to a safer temperature. Also if avoidable do not use hot tap water as it may contain impurities that can degrade the bottle. Instead you should use boiling water that has been allowed to cool down to a safe temperature.

Tip #4

When not in use make sure that your hot water bottle is empty with its stopper removed. It should be stored away from direct sources of heat or sunlight. A cupboard, drawer or wardrobe is ideal but avoid airing cupboards, boiler cupboards or heat sources such as radiators. Continued fluctuations in temperature can adversely affect the bottle.

Tip #5

Replace rubber hot water bottles every 2 years to ensure that you are always using a bottle which is safe and in good shape. Rubber naturally deteriorates overtime as part of a natural process.
