Great hot water treatment for general soreness
I’ve been experiencing more and more leg soreness after long runs, particularly in my quads.  I’ve tried different hot and cold therapies, but true to my Asian roots, decided that it was finally time to try using a rubber water bag.  Here are some thoughts:<br /><br />• Size/Design: The water bag is appropriately-sized to cover a large area of the body.  I have a fairly large hot water kettle that I use for this bag (about one kettle fills one water bag).  The exterior cloth is both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.  I also appreciate the buttons, as it allows me to peel the cloth bag to avoid getting the cloth wet when pouring the hot water into or out of the bag.<br /><br />• Ease of Use and Effectiveness: As noted, this holds a good amount of water.  The rubber design is nice and flexible, allowing for good contortion to the body.  I actually don’t think you have to fill the water all the way, as it helps to “slosh” the water a bit to get a bit more heat.  Be careful at first, however, as I found that the water bag was a bit too hot in the first few minutes of use.  It may be good to take some breaks here and there, as I had some noticeable red marks on my quads afterwards.  Overall, I found that the bag stayed well-heated for over an hour (if not closer to one and half hours).<br /><br />• Leakage: This is well-made with a screwable top that prevents water from leaking out.<br /><br />In summary, I’m happy with rubber water bag and will continue to use this to treat general soreness.  My only concern is that this water bag can get a tad hot in the beginning and may leave some redness, but as long as you are cognizant of these factors then I think this is a great addition to the home.  Recommend!
