Home Bargains has introduced a new 'winter warmer' product designed to ease neck, shoulder or back pain. The Home Collections Long Hot Water Bottle is priced at £7.99 and available in grey or cream, both in stores across the UK and online for home delivery, just in time for cooler weather.
Body-warming comfort for hard-to-reach pain
According to the retailer, the 'body-warming' long hot water bottle helps comfort aches and pains in areas that are difficult to reach, such as the neck, shoulders or down the spine. The product description states: "Snuggle up with the Home Collections Long Hot Water Bottle in chic grey, designed to melt away your aches and pains with its body-warming comfort. Complete with adorable pom pom and faux fur detail, it’s your perfect companion for cosy evenings."
Home Bargains advises: "When filling the hot water bottle, do not use boiling water and fill to a maximum of two-thirds capacity or less." It also recommends draining the bottle completely and keeping the stopper removed when not in use, storing it in a cool, dry, dark place, and avoiding sunlight or placing anything on top during storage. The retailer adds: "Stop using the product at the first sign of damage or weakness. Do not use hot water bottle with electric blankets."
Heat therapy benefits and delivery details
Hot water bottles are effective for relieving muscle, joint, and cramp-related pain through targeted heat therapy, according to Nurofen, which says just 20 minutes of safe exposure can help ease pain.
For online orders, shoppers may be charged a £3.95 shipping fee for UK mainland delivery, unless their order includes £100 worth of items eligible for free Saver Delivery. Items are usually dispatched and delivered within four days.
