Hot Water Bottle - Cream

Fill the bottle with hot, not boiling, water. Do not fill more than two-thirds full. Expel excess air by standing the bottle upright and gently pressing down until water appears at the neck, then securely tighten the stopper.

Heat retention varies based on ambient temperature and the use of a cover. With a good cover, the heat can last for several hours, often throughout the night.

No, it is crucial to use hot water, not boiling water. Boiling water can degrade the rubber over time and poses a higher risk of burns.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's best to store it with the stopper removed or hanging upside down to prevent the rubber from becoming misshapen or degraded.

While not strictly mandatory, a cover is highly recommended. It protects your skin from direct contact with the hot surface, prevents burns, and significantly improves heat retention.

This hot water bottle has a capacity of 1.8 litres.

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse in water or use harsh cleaning chemicals.

Ensure the stopper is fully and tightly screwed on. Check the stopper and the bottle's neck for any damage or debris that may be preventing a proper seal.

Ensure the bottle is filled sufficiently and the stopper is fully tightened. Use a quality hot water bottle cover; this significantly improves insulation. Check that the ribbed texture is clear of obstructions.

This is normal for new rubber products. Air the bottle out in a well-ventilated area for a few days, or wash it with mild soap and water and allow it to dry completely. The smell typically dissipates with use.

Ensure you are pressing on the flat side of the bottle while it is upright on a flat surface. Do not force the stopper excessively after initial tightening.
