Types & Materials

Hot bottles are made out of rubber but they can also be in other durable materials. They come with velvet or fur covers for added protection. The latest ones come with secure locks and stoppers that do not open easily, unlike the flimsy ones on conventional bottles. If taken good care of, your bottle can last for a good 2 years. After that, the rubber may deteriorate, making it risky for continued usage. It is important to replace your bottle in time to ensure safety. They are available in all sizes and colours. 

Tips & Warning

One of the many causes of accidental burns and hospitalizations is a burst hot bottle accident. Never put boiling hot water in a hot water bottle as it increases the risks of burns caused by the damaged seams of the bottle. Always make sure to put filtered or boiled clean water in the bottle as regular unfiltered tap water carries impurities. It can damage the inner lining of the bottle in the long run. Try to heat the water up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and then allow it to sit for a while before putting it into the bottle.
