Wheat Bags versus Hot Water Bottles
What a treat on a cold winter evening to snuggle up with a wheat bag or a hot water bottle to keep you cosy and comfortable, both provide long lasting heat. Which is more effective or better? Loyal wheat bag users maintain that wheat bags – often called wheat warmers - are safer and more versatile whereas fanatical hot water bottle users protest that the old fashioned HWB is better.
Safety is always the primary concern and it is always paramount that the user follows the manufacturer's guidelines. Wheat bags should come with user instructions giving guidelines for the microwave heating time for different powers of microwave. Do not buy wheat bags where instructions are not provided. Instructions should also mention that a small cup of water should be placed in the microwave along with the wheat bag to maintain the water content in the wheat grains and prevent the grains drying out thus reducing the risk of charring or burning. Covers should also be 100% cotton which is fire retardant.
HWB should never be filled with boiling water, this can make the bags too hot and if the bag bursts the risk of burns can be devastation. This is a particular risk for the elderly or for people that suffer with arthritis in their hands or wrist joints especially when filling the bottle. Pouring the very hot water through the opening requires a steady hand and the risk of burning from the slightest spill is high. Both wheat bags and HWB should be checked regularly for holes and general signs of wear and tear. Rubber HWB may perish faster than a PVC of synthetic alternative.
Both products take the same amount of time to prepare for readiness, two minutes in the microwave for the wheat bag and boiling the kettle and pouring the water for the HWB. Some households do not have a microwave and other alternative methods to heating a wheat bag are not economical or convenient. Both products are easily transportable and can be taken on a short trip outside the home or even on holiday. People that suffer with Reynaud's syndrome can heat up hand sized wheat bags and take them out which helps to relieve the discomfort just enough to carry out regular tasks.
The greatest difference between the two I believe is the versatility of a wheat bag. Traditional HWBs either lie at the bottom of the bed or rest against the body and you need to be sitting down or be still to feel the benefit. In contrast the wheat grains in a wheat bag mould themselves to the contours of the body. The most common shape and style of wheat bag is a rectangle containing loose grains which is best used the same way as the HWB. There are increasing alternatives in a variety of shapes designed specifically for the neck, shoulders, back, elbows, hands etc and almost anywhere where a hot or cold application may be needed. Some of these can be used without restricting mobility, for example, WheatWarmers make a Back & Tummy wheat bag which can be secured tightly against the body with a velcro belt allowing the user to move around freely whilst still experiencing the benefits of a heat pack.
For those sensitive to lavender or with a wheat or wheat germ allergy a HWB would be a better choice. Some wheat bag manufacturers offer their products with or without lavender so the user has a choice.
For this reason we like the wheat bag range produced by WheatWarmers. Their wheat bags are made with or without lavender depending on the customers' preference. The bags are made from 100% cotton corduroy and come in a variety of body friendly shapes that fit around the body. The safety information that comes with the wheat bag is detailed and shows a commitment to the customer. Our top favourites from this range are the Back & Tummy wheat bag mentioned earlier and the Neck & Shoulder wheat bag which is made in a horse shoe shape to sit around the neck and is sewn in sections to keep the wheat in place and the heat evenly distributed. Details of these wheatbags can be found at www.wheatwarmers.com and their bags are also sold on Ebay.
