A hot water bottle is a rubber container that you pour hot water into that will disperse the heat and keep you warm. These are particularly popular in Britain and people often keep them in their beds to warm them up before you get it. However, you can use a hot water bottle for many things, and if you don’t want to buy one, you can always make your own at home easily!
People have been trying to keep beds warm since the 16th century, and there’s nothing better than getting into a bed in the dead of winter that has already been warmed for you. By placing a hot water bottle in there just 20 minutes before you go to sleep, your bed will be nice and toasty. You can also use it for stomach and leg cramps, and any other pain relief you need.
If you need a hot water bottle now and can’t wait to buy one, making your own at home couldn’t be easier! Just put some damp kitchen towels into a microwave until hot, keeping an eye on it and checking every few second. Put the towels into a plastic zip bag, and you have an instant hot water bottle!
