What Can the Micro Hottie Do to Help Me?
The Hottie will stay warm for four hours, helping to ease your pain, warm you up and increase your circulation. As it is so small it is ideal for treating pain in small places, such as the jaw or neck. The heat pack is portable and slim so you can even take it with you on holiday or to work!
Who Is the Purple Fleece Hottie For?
The Hottie can be used to keep warm and for comfort, but it can also be used as heat therapy for the following conditions:
- Period pain

- Stomach pain
- Rheumatic pain
- Sprains and injuries
- Child growing pains
- Circulatory problems

How Does the Purple Hottie Help to Relieve Aches and Pains?
Heat therapy is a non-invasive, non-expensive, drug-free way of relieving aches and pains. It works by increasing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the site of pain to help heal damage tissue, decreasing stiffness. The heat reduces the transmission of pain signals and improves flexibility and overall feeling of comfort.
What Are the Advantages of the Fleece?
Polyester fleece is very warm and soft, insulating the heat pack and retaining the heat for longer. It is also a durable fabric meaning your Hottie will stay in top condition for longer.
What Are the Advantages of the Small Size of the Hottie?
Because the Hottie is so small that means it's easy to hold against smaller areas of your body, treating a large variety of pains. For example neck pain, jaw pain, dental pain and repetitive strain injury in the hand. The small size also means it's easy to carry around with you in a pocket, and can even be used to keep your food warm by slipping it beneath your plate.
How Do I Use the Micro-Hottie?
The Micro-Hottie is easy to use. Please just follow these simple instructions:
- Keep your Hottie thermal pack in its outer fabric
- Place in your microwave allowing the turntable to rotate freely (where fitted)
- Set microwave to full power, set your timings with reference to the table below
- Turn your Hottie over halfway through heating
- Remove from the microwave and leave to stand for a minute

How Long Should I Heat My Hottie For?
The length of time you should heat your Hottie for depends on whether it has been recently heated. As it is better to heat them from cold, many people have two Hotties inserts and alternate their use.
How Does the Fleece Hottie Work?
Hotties are thermal heat packs containing plant based material and water, which warms up when microwaved. As there are no water currents within the heat pack the transfer of energy from the centre of the pack to the outside takes longer, meaning it stays warmer for longer.
Can I Buy Replacement Hotties Thermal Inserts?
Yes, you can. You can add the Hotties Replacement Thermal Inserts to your order by selecting them with the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
Is the Hottie Safe to Use?
Yes, the Hottie is much safer than similar products. As Hottie contains no gels or seeds it will not explode or burst violently if over heated. The Replacement Packs are designed for use with Hottie branded covers or hot water bottle covers and should not be used on their own as this can lead to injury and burns.
Who Can Safely Use the Micro Hottie?
Most people can safely use the Micro Hottie however if you suffer from Diabetes or are otherwise insensitive to heat then consult a doctor before use.
Can I Wash My Hotties Cover?
To keep your Hotties cover clean and fresh, you can machine wash it whenever necessary. Simply place it on a cool-temperature wash (max. 40°C) with similarly coloured clothing.
