Customer Reviews

Great - but not for fatties!
I got one of these, as I have 2 disks out in my lower back.

I have never been able to get comfy with a hot water bottle (that hard neck!) and was always afraid of leaning back on the squishy bit (and gettling skalding water over me).

I had tried the wheat bags you get now, but they are awkward to use unless you lie on your face and put it on your back, and too hard to sit back against.

This product contains 'water absorbed on to a medical grade nonwoven pad' and is a lot softer than a wheat bag, and is flat enough to be able to put behind your back when you're sitting.

The only drawback of the product is that it is not designed for fatties like me. The flaps that are supposed to fold around your waist to close at the front are far too short. As a compromise, there is a piece of elastic with a bit of velcro at each end to use as an extender.

Unfortunately, with my disks out so low I wanted to put it around my hips, but no hope!

I've done a rough measure, and the flaps will do if you have 38" (95cm) waist or less, and the elastic will give an extra couple of inches (5 cm) to play with.

So if you're within the waist range this is a superb product. If you're not I would recommend their microwave hot water bottle instead, as I find the heat pad a lot more comfortable than water filled bottles or wheat.

Back to comfort...!
I have had my Hotties backwrap for a couple of weeks now and I have to say it is simply wonderful for easing my lower back pain. I spend a lot of time on the computer at work, and my back loves the comfort this gives. It gives a nice feeling of support as well. I wear it in the car too for driving on longer journeys, which is great.

If you are worried about whether it will fit around you, I am an M&S size 16 and it fits me absolutely fine with some room to spare.

I wouldn't be without mine!

A little heavy for mum
I purchased this backwrap for my 81 year old mum who suffers from a bad back. She found it easy to warm in the microwave and the tartan fabric nice and soft. The only problem is that she has bad balance and is very weak, when she was wearing the belt she felt as if it was pushing her forward and she found it very heavy. Personally I find it ok but would probably take a while to get used to walking around in as it does feel bulky when you first start wearing it.
Overall I would say that it keeps warm for 2-3 hours maximum but as it is so easy to reheat not a problem. It is comfortable to wear when sitting down and once you get used to the feel of it, it is ok to walk around in it. Much safer for the elderly than hot water bottles.
The only negative I have found with it is that the instructions and heating times are on the heat pad itself and within a week of using it they have rubbed off.
