It is the simplest way to take the chill off a bed on a cold Nairobi or Limuru night, to keep your feet warm under a blanket, or to hold against your tummy when period cramps hit. The \u003cstrong\u003eribbed surface\u003c\/strong\u003e spreads the warmth evenly and stops it feeling scalding against the skin, and the \u003cstrong\u003escrew-top stopper\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the water where it belongs. It is a favourite for students in chilly hostels, older relatives who feel the cold, anyone nursing a stiff back or a sore neck, and new mums. Because it needs nothing but a kettle, it keeps working through power cuts, which makes it a sensible thing to have in every home.

Let the kettle stand for a minute or two, or mix in a little cold water, then fill it only about two-thirds full. Hold the bottle upright and squeeze gently to push out the remaining air before you screw the stopper on tight, which stops it bulging and makes it lie flat against you. Always place it inside a cover, a towel or a pillowcase rather than directly on bare skin, especially for children and older people. Empty it after use, hang it upside down to drain and dry, and store it away from direct sun. Check the neck and stopper for cracks before each cold season and replace the bottle if it ever looks perished or leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn electric heating pad gives controllable heat but needs a socket, costs power and is no use during an outage. A hot water bottle warms up in the time it takes to boil a kettle, is completely silent and portable, and moves from bed to sofa to office chair. For targeted warmth on cramps, feet or a sore back it is the cheaper and simpler choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it stay warm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilled two-thirds with hot water and wrapped in a cover or towel, it typically stays comfortably warm for several hours, long enough to warm a bed and see you to sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use boiling water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Let the water cool slightly off the boil before filling. Boiling water shortens the life of the bottle and increases the risk of burns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bottle is shown without a cover.
