i use one on my back, i leave it on the radiator, which i have on most of the time atm and its always ready if i need it :)

Re: Wheat Packs?
 

I used one for the first time last week ... got these horrendous pains in the lower abdomen area. Everywhere I touched, it hurt ... :( 'Course went through all the worst scenarios (as you do). After an hour...nothing for it, but to try heat treatment ...hot water bottles always worked when I was in my teens with menstruation pains.

Led on bed, wheat pack on my tummy, within 10 minutes, pain subsided and completely disappeared, but not without loud gurgling noises from my bowels.:D As I suspected, was a bad case of wind, probably due to being on the computer too long that day in a tight pair of jeans.

I couldn't say it retained the heat any better than a bottle; but was more comfortable ... except the brushed cover was quite moist.

Moral to that story Kate is wear something comfy whilst on computer lol. We can't see you so get some comfy trousers:)

Well I tried the Wheat Packs and in retrospect I think I should have used hot milk and put more sugar on them.:confused:
