Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hottie?
Microwave heat packs uniquely designed for safety and to retain heat longer.
Hotties contain plant based material and water. When microwaved, the water heats up.
Because there are no water currents within the heat pack, the transfer of energy from the centre of the heat pack to the edge of your Hottie takes longer. This is why Hottie stays warmer longer.
How do I heat my Hottie?
Refer to the heating instructions on the enclosed safety sheet and on the white Hottie heat pack.
Please note, heating instructions in columns marked 1 and 2 are instructions for heating Hottie from cold (i.e. not recently used or 20°C)
Please see the heating times via this link.
To avoid damaging your Hottie do not exceed recommended heating times.
Many of our customers have two heat packs and simply heat their second heat pack instead of re-heating the recently used heat pack. This helps prevent accidental overheating and damage to your Hottie.
How do I re-heat my Hottie?
To re-heat your Hottie:
- Remove fabric cover if it prevents your Hottie rotating freely in the microwave
- Heat in microwave for 15-seconds
- Check temperature of your Hottie
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 until Hottie is the appropriate temperature for you
Note: Re-heating your Hottie heat pack for longer than recommended time may damage your Hottie.
Many of our customers have two heat packs and simply heat their second heat pack instead of re-heating the recently used heat pack. This helps prevent accidental overheating and damage to your Hottie.
What Happens if Hottie is Overheated?
If overheated, Hottie will expand.
If this happens, stop microwave and leave Hottie to cool for at least ten minutes.
Hotties are designed to fail-safe in the event of overheating. This means, if overheated for a long period of time, the pouch is designed to split. This may create a “bang” noise, but is an important safety feature that prevents the build up of dangerous pressures and hot spots.
It is possible damage has been done to your Hottie if it expands. Please check your Hottie before re-using.
Please do not re-use popped Hotties.
If you pop your Hottie, please email us a photo of the popped Hottie plus a brief description of what happened. We will reply with a coupon for 20% off a replacement heat pack.

We have been making Hotties since 1996 and in all that time we have never learned of a Hottie causing injury or exploding violently.
As Hottie contains no toxic gels or seeds, there is no danger of it catching fire or causing burns.
What should I do if I overheat Hottie and it pops?
If you overheat Hottie and it pops, leave in microwave for at least ten minutes before lifting out.
Please do not re-use overheated / popped Hotties.
If you pop your Hottie, please email us a photo of the popped Hottie plus a brief description of what happened. We will reply with a coupon for 20% off a replacement heat pack.

Can I apply Hottie to my skin straight away after heating?
We suggest placing your Hottie on a flat bench and smoothing it out to ensure the heat is even throughout the pack.
Then, hold Hottie to your forearm to check the temperature is right for your skin type and apply.
How long does the warmth last?
Heated correctly, your Hottie will stay warm for up to four hours.
Do Hotties have a use-by date?
Hotties have no use-by date. Many of our customers use the same Hottie for years, even decades.
How long a Hottie lasts is a function of how carefully it is heated. If always heated correctly there is no reason a Hottie should decline.
We urge people to take extra care when re-heating a recently used Hottie as this seems to be when most people accidentally overheat and damage their Hottie. Please see FAQ "How do I re-heat my Hottie?" for further information on re-heating a Hottie.
How does it work?
Hotties are thermal heat packs made with a uniquely designed heat pack that contains plant based material and water.
When microwaved, the water heats up.
Because there are no water currents within the heat pack, the transfer of energy from centre of the heat pack to the edge of your Hottie takes longer. This is why Hottie stays warmer longer.
What if my Hottie bursts?
Hottie is failsafe.
If overheated, it pops and oozes its water content. This is a built in feature designed to keep you safe. This safety feature also prevents Hottie reaching dangerous temperatures and pressures.
Hottie will not explode or burst violently if overheated. As Hottie contains no toxic gels or seeds there is no danger of it catching fire or causing burns.
If you overheat Hottie and it pops, leave in microwave for at least ten minutes before lifting out.
Please do not re-use overheated / popped Hotties.
If your Hottie pops, please email us a photo of popped Hottie and a description of what happened. We will reply with a coupon for 20% off a replacement heat pack.

Why do you say Hotties are safer than other heat packs?
Hottie is not a gel pack. Gel packs are known to explode and cause potentially fatal burns.
Hottie is not a wheat pack. Wheat and other grain filled packs are known to cause fatal fires and burns. This is because the grains within the wheat pack continue to heat up after being removed from the microwave and after several uses the grains dry out. As an added bonus because Hottie contains no grains or seeds it will not mould or rot.
Hottie is not a hot water bottle. Hot water bottles are known to cause burns. This is because of the fiddly design requiring filling with boiling water and also due to rubber bursting or splitting, spilling boiling water onto the user.
Hottie is failsafe.
Hotties have been around since 1996 and in all that time we’ve never heard of any incident where one of our Hotties has caused harm to a user.
We designed Hotties because we were concerned about rising incidences of injuries and even deaths caused by exploding heat and wheat packs catching on fire.
If overheated, Hottie pops and oozes its water content. This is a built in feature designed to keep you safe by preventing Hottie reaching dangerous temperatures and pressures.
Hottie will not explode or burst violently if overheated. As Hottie contains no gels or seeds there is no danger of it catching fire or causing burns.
What is inside my Hottie?
The Hottie patented heat pack contains water soaked into a medical grade, plant based non-woven pad. It does not contain wheat, gels or waxes. The liquid inside is water and is completely safe.

Do not buy anything else but this product .... I just paid £50 for rechargeable lithium ion back pack it did not get anywhere near hot enough to penetrate through a thin t shirt or my skin on the 4th heat setting now this on the other hand is ready in 2 or 3 mins depending on how hit you need it and it is simply superb.... sticky pad ones from boots are pathetic Poundland ones don't eve heat up much trust me I've tried everything and searched for months ..i have constant lower back pain and this helps massively I cannot recommend this product enough so had to leave a huge review thanks enormously for this life saver or a product
4th one of these I've purchased over the years. use it every single day
Could be hotter
Bought for my son he’s found it very good
The belt was secure and comfortable, and the heat pack maintained its temperature well
Kept slipping down my back, after a week of using it, it started leaking!!!
Excellent product. Heats up well and reasonably quickly, the down side is, this product does not stay hot for long. I would have expected longer than 40 mins.Very disappointing.
Works as described and easy to use. Personally I find it better as a hot water bottle than for back problems but friends say it's worked well for them
Backwrap helps your sore back
Would probably fit a large
It's a good product idea,but the design could be better .The straps are not very big , and it is very wide at the front .
Hottie water bottle very goodBut not very impressed with the wrap around belt , very thin, and far to big for me , I have tried it but just keeps slipping down5 stars 🌟 for the Hottie water bottle .3 stars for the wrap around belt.
My mum kept stealing this from me so I bought her her own one for Christmas! A really simple idea which works so well. You can even fasten the straps and take it to bed with you. (Probably not safe to wear it in bed). But read the warming instructions CAREFULLY as there have been issues with the heat pouch splitting due to reheating when not yet cold, as seen in other reviews.
Helps relieve pain
The product isn't a fashion accessory, but doesn't look too obvious, and the main thing is that having had two spinal operations, plus suffering from frequent, prolonged bouts of Polymyalgia, I was desperate to find some relief from constant, nagging back pain, which this product provides! My daughter has just had her 2nd big spinal operation and used hers when sitting at work prior to her latest surgery, so recommended it to me and I was really glad she did! It's quick and easy to prepare and the effects last for hours.
This item has a plastic water bag that when heated within the recommended time frame exploded and burnt my back and legs
Parfaitmon mari ne le quitte plus😁
I'm very pleased with this purchase. I use it almost every day and so far I've gained some noticeable flexibility to my lower back. It fits me well, (I have a 34 inch waist) and is easy to wear. Why not 5 stars? I'll tell you in a year. If everything is still working and hasn't come apart, then I'll come back and put an extra star on it!
Je trouve ça génial elle prends bien le dos
Excellent idea as it saves me being plugged in to my heat pad which means I have problems moving around because of the lead. There are reviews of the pad leaking in the microwave but then you read some of the reviews where somebody said they had it in the microwave for up to 5 minutes so no wonder! people just do not read instructions. somebody also said you cannot walk around in it because it is too heavy - but then you read another review and some chap went out walking with his dog with it on. I have come up with a very good idea of keeping the heat longer by wrapping my other back support on top - this is great for the winter whilst i am mucking out my horses. 1 because i get the proper support from my back support but 2 because it keeps the pad firmly in place and keeps it hotter for longer. I think this is a very good product
I have scoliosis so my back can sometimes be really painful! I wanted to try this before I went down the medication route. Unfortunately this is too big for me so it probably doesn't work as well as it should do. If there was a bit more Velcro on either side of the straps then I'm sure it would fit better. i have a 950W microwave and would put it in for 2 minutes, it helped ease the pain for about hour, then it started to cool down and wasn't really that effective then. That being said the pain in my back has gotten a lot worse, and I still had to resort to medication for help with the pain. It was good when my back wasn't so painful and it did help ease the pain.
This was the second back wrap purchased. My husband has the blue one and it is absolutely the best thing for back pain. He 'wears' it most days and loves having heat on his back constantly even while walking etc. He has had no problem re-heating the pad (as other reviewers). He has used the back pad most days for a year. He wanted another one just in case the old one wore out, so I ordered another. I chose the black backwrap just for a change. Unfortunately the material on this particular one is made of synthetic material. The backwrap consists of a plastic coated pack that is heated in the microwave, then placed in the belt and fixed round the body. It gets quite warm and not unnaturally makes you sweat. The cover is non-absorbent and will make the sweating worse, plus the pack inside, being plastic, will also cause problems. It will be bad for any furniture it comes into contact with (particularly leather). I tried to return the pack to Amazon but was advised that as it is under 'health and beauty' it could not be returned. They were very helpful and eventually refunded half of the money and said I could keep the product. Actually I want the backwrap that has a cotton cover so was disappointed that I could not return it. Please anyone buying this, or any other item from that department, note it cannot be returned!To sum up. This is a fantastic product if it has the cotton cover (which others have). It would be five stars if the cover was right and also if there was a flap on the extension velcro fixing to stop it catching on jumpers etc. Hotties, apparently, have improved the microwave pack to avoid it melting (see other reviews. Buy a Hottie backwrap, just make sure you buy the right one and intend to keep it.
