A laminate for heating or warming, comprising: (a) a first outer layer of an inextensible material defining an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface; (b) a second outer layer of an inextensible material defining an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface, wherein at least one of the first and second outer layers defines one or more predetermined punched holes therethrough; (c) at least one heating element coextending with the first and second outer layers and interposed between inner surfaces of said first and second outer layers so as to be sandwiched therebetween, said at least one heating element being intermingled, twisted, core spun, or covered together with: (i) at least one other heating element; or (ii) a material having stretch and recovery properties; (d) at least one stretch and recovery element spaced apart from, coextending and substantially parallel with the heating element and interposed between the first and second outer layers; (e) at least one loop, formed of a portion of the at least one heating element, that extends through the one or more predetermined punched holes above a plane defined by one of said outer surfaces as said stretch and recovery element is in a relaxed or unstretched state; and (f) an adhesive composition for bonding the heating element and stretch and recovery element as a middle layer of the laminate between the outer layers to form the laminate.
