FAQs

How long does the heat last?

The heat pad provides warmth for up to 2 hours after activation, depending on ambient temperature and insulation.

What is the maximum temperature?

The heat pad can reach temperatures of up to 54°C (130°F).

Can I boil the heat pad to reuse it?

No, you should only use gently simmering water (do not boil) to reheat and reset the pad. Boiling can damage the internal components.

How do I reset the heat pad for reuse?

Place the used heat pad in gently simmering water until the crystals dissolve. Remove, let cool completely, and it's ready to be reactivated.

What are the dimensions of the heat pad?

The dimensions are approximately 1.50cm x 10.00cm x 10.00cm.

Is this safe to use on children?

While the pad provides warmth, it's best to use caution with children and always ensure it's wrapped in fabric to prevent burns, especially as temperatures can reach up to 54°C.

How should I store the heat pad?

Store the heat pad in a cool, dry place after it has been completely cooled and is in its inactive state. Ensure it is dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Heat pad does not activate or produce heat.

Ensure the metal disc inside the pad has been firmly clicked. If the pad has been used and cooled, it may need to be reset by reheating. Check if the crystals inside are fully dissolved during the reheating process.

Heat pad is not reheating properly or crystals are not dissolving.

Ensure the water is gently simmering and not boiling. Continue to heat until all crystals are completely dissolved. If the pad remains cloudy after prolonged simmering, it may be nearing the end of its usable life.

Pad feels too hot for comfort.

Wrap the heat pad in a thin cloth or fabric before applying it to the skin. Avoid prolonged direct contact if you have sensitive skin or circulation issues.

Pad remains warm or slightly hot after activation and cooling.

This is normal. The pad should be completely cool and inert before storing. If it remains significantly warm, it may not have fully reset during the last reheating cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Activation: To activate the heat pad, firmly click the metal disc inside the pad. You will feel a reaction and the pad will begin to heat up. Ensure the disc is bent fully to initiate the heating process.

Reheating (Reusing):

  1. Place the heat pad in a pot with gently simmering water. Do not boil the water, as this can damage the pad.
  2. Allow the pad to heat until all the crystals have dissolved and the liquid inside is clear.
  3. Carefully remove the pad from the hot water and let it cool completely.
  4. Once cooled, the pad is ready to be reactivated by clicking the metal disc.

Care: Store the heat pad in a cool, dry place when not in use. Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth if necessary; avoid submerging the pad in water except during the reheating process. Ensure the pad is completely dry before storing.

Compatibility: This heat pad is designed for personal use and is compatible with being placed in pockets, gloves, or directly on the skin (wrapped if excessive heat is a concern for sensitive individuals). It is not compatible with machine washing or drying.
