Heatbags or Hot water bottles?
Johana CNov 04, 20
What do you find more soothing? Heat Bags are obviously quicker to organise when you re in pain or feeling cold. But I ve found hot water bottles keep their warmth longer

                hot water bottles seem to keep their heat a bit longer, but heat packs are a bit safer

                      I will admit I am old (not dead - yet - I do have one foot in my grave) - I do not use either (my guess will be heat bags would be safer). If I am feeling cold - I will reset my smart thermostat. If I am in pain - I will scheduled a video chat with a nurse (with my health plan)! Unfortunately, you can't take your money with you when you die - I will spend my money making my last days (or years) enjoyable!

                              Heat bags are in my opinion safer to use as long as you follow the instructions for heating. I also put mine in the freezer to use as cool bags

                                Hot water bottles are extremely dangerous my mother in law got severe burns when the bottle burst,heat bags are much safer if you got to use them

                                        Hot water bottles for me. Yes they keep the heat and I just use hot water from the tap so can be used immediately. I find the heat bags smell to be honest.

                                          Heatbags. Hot water bottles can split.

                                            Heat bags or hot water bottles are great for muscles and joints but an electric blanket for a bed......gord

                                              Have never used heat bags, used hot water bottles in the past, now a nice warm shower hits the spot. Soft drink bottles can also suffice if you don't have the other two. In the olden days bricks were warmed on the wood stove and wrapped in cloth to warm up the bed.
