Nice little bottle of comfort
Sometimes a heating pad is just too much heat or messing with the cord is a pain. We always had a hot water bottle in the house when I was a kid and I had forgotten how nice they are. What I don't like about this one is that it's a little small, the cover design is inconvenient to put on/take off the bottle (you have to do this when the bottle is empty, fold it into thirds and insert it into the tiny neck of the cover), and it is a little tough to fill (especially when you're trying to not get the cover wet).<br /><br />What I love about it is the comfort it brings. I like to fill it and just sit with it under my robe, or stick it under my feet while lounging. There's something about the soft quality of a hot water bottle that just can't be replicated with a heating pad. I haven't found the perfect temperature for the water to get it as hot as I would like but even so, the bottle stays warm for a long time. I wish the cap was attached by a strap or thong, because it is a little tricky to fill and keep track of the cap and I will probably make a new cover for it, but this is a welcome little addition to the house this winter.
