Things2KeepUWarm Hand Warmer Hot Water Bottle - Heated Hand Muff for Cold Hands, Arthritis and Reynauds Pain Relief

Product Information

Rechargeable hand warmers - The most eco-friendly and sustainable choice, these battery-powered hand warmers require some initial charging, but tend to offer the most flexibility - with variable heat settings and the ability to turn on and off as required. YuYu's award-winning water bottle is designed to be wrapped around the body to soothe aches and pains.

The smaller Mini version, which is just 27 x 17cm, can easily be tucked into a pocket during a long winter walk. When it’s not being used as a hot water bottle cover, this cute cow is just as happy being used as a pyjama case or a cuddly toy – it’s hard to resist giving it a cuddle!

Multipurpose, microwaveable, freezable and huggable: the Ostrich Pillow is a heat bag designed primarily for therapeutic purposes, but it also manages to be seriously cuddly. Instead of moving a traditional square hot water bottle around your body, the YUYU changes the status quo.

Next, we looked at industry awards and reviews to see which brands consumer experts felt were worth purchasing and we cross-referenced this with the reviews from real parents. We also looked into the safety aspects of hand warmers to find out what to look for in a good model and anything to be aware of and made sure any hand warmers on our long list made the grade. A microwaveable bottle means no chance of spills or water leaks, but the downside is the heat doesn’t seem to last as long as a traditional bottle.The snug-fit box design is perfect for tucking your hand into while the hot water bottle in a separate pocket warms them up.

The Ocoopa doubles up as a phone charger too, with dual output that can even charge two phones at once if needed. It heats up very quickly via mains electricity and you can choose from three different temperatures depending on how cosy you want to feel. It may sound obvious, but there’s still a bit of science involved when it comes to the choice of traditional hot water bottle materials. A heat warmer and power bank in one, the Zippo Heatbank will make a great addition to your pocket this winter, and it comes in a lot cheaper than a pair of heated gloves.They're also great if you suffer from arthritis or circulation conditions such as Raynaud’s Syndrome. Then there’s the microwaveable version, filled with grains or seeds to which you can add a dash of essential oils for a peaceful night’s sleep. These Medipaq bottles are made from thick natural rubber with plastic, leak-proof screw caps, although they don’t come with covers so make sure you find something to wrap them in for maximum comfort and heat protection. Hand warmers give pretty instant heat to your extremities, however, which can really help you feel instantly less chilly.
