Are you in need of a home remedy for pain relief? Trust the treatment your mother or grandmother used. The HOME-X U-Shaped Hot Water Bottle will give you that nostalgic remedy tucked into a soft fleece cover to make the experience even cozier. The U-shape design of the rubber hot water bottle is the perfect fit to drape around your neck or over your shoulders when you need some soothing water therapy. The fleece cover prevents the hot rubber from coming in direct contact with your skin for long periods of time, and it comes in a dark gray to add some style to the bottle. The cover and tube shape help it resemble a standard travel pillow, so when you have to take it outside of the home, it won't look too out of place. Using a hot water bottle to ease chronic neck pain or stiff shoulders is a toastier experience than using a cold ice pack. It's also a great source of warm relief you can take with you to rural locations, like camping grounds or cabins. If you don't have an outlet for an electric hot water bottle warmer or an electric heating pad or blanket, this is the perfect choice! It's simple to use and care for this bottle, and the fleece cover is washable. When filling, hold the bottle by the neck in an upright position and fill slowly to avoid any hot water splashing back and landing directly on your skin. Expel air from the bottle by lowering it carefully onto a flat surface until water appears at the opening. Ensure that there is no leakage by screwing the stopper tightly and checking that the funnel is empty. When you're done using the bottle, remove the cover and stopper and empty the bottle completely before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry, dark place with nothing placed on top of it. To increase the lifespan of the rubber bottle, prevent exposure to hot surfaces, direct sunlight, oil, and grease, and avoid filling it from a domestic hot water system. Never use the hot water bottle as a cushion to sit on.
