Hot water bottle shape:
For the traditionalist who still wants the classic hot water bottle shape they are manufactured in the same size and shape but grain filled rather than water filled.   Many are produced in fleece and soft cotton towelling for a hard wearing finish with the most popular the microwaveable hottie type.

Novelty shape:
Since a microwaveable hot wheat pack is grain filled it's perfect to manufacture in any shape or size that suits.   You can find hot soft toys (see below) and novelty bear head shaped microwaveable hottie's that make great gift for someone's special Birthday.

Microwaveable heat wrap:
The popular type is the heat wrap made to wrap around the neck, shoulders or lie across the stomach.   These have been used to help alleviate stomach cramps, period pains and muscle aches, very simple to heat up in a microwave to give instant relief.   You can find hottie's that are collar shaped to warm the neck area and also large pads for greater surface heat such as shoulders and back.   These microwaveable heat wraps colours and styles change each season for the latest trends but the tartan style heat wrap is a firm favourite and there year after year.

Microwaveable hot soft toy:
One of the latest additions to the microwavable hot water bottles is the soft toy warmer range.   The choice of microwaveable soft toy warmers is endless and with each new character to hit the toy market there is always a microwaveable range to follow.   One of the most popular is the lamb hottie, always a winner with children of all ages.   Safe to use, can be reheated over a thousand times, usually scented to aid sleep and a good generous size.

Q. How does a microwave hot wheat bottle work?
A. By placing the grain filled hot wheat bottle, hottie or hot soft toy in the microwave for the time and power recommended, the grains heat up and will slowly cool down over the next two hours giving plenty of warmth.   Very fast and very safe to use time and time again.   Many hottie's are supplied with removable covers that can be machine washed.   For heat click pads read Heat Click Facts page.
