Heatpad struggle

[cookiedegus]

Hi! I have a problem, I live in Europe and there isn't snugglesafe brand shops, so I tried searching for other ones, but no luck :/ So I came here to ask, how do you make diy heatpads? I currenly don't have acess to the microwave, but couldn't think of any ideas! I am seeking for help:)

Most of the commercial heating pads etc rely on a microwave to easily heat them up, so they'd likely be out anyway if you don't have one, sadly. The only thing off-hand that I can think of would be something like a stone of some sort that you could put into an oven or otherwise heat up so it retains the heat. A snugglesafe works similarly since it's just a pad that hold heat for a long time, but something natural like that would likely be less effective (but stones can keep heat for quite a bit). You'd just have to wrap some cloth around it to make sure it's not too hot and to pad it out a bit.

Totally misread the original post!

Ok, there are some heat pads out there which are goo safe AND runs off mains power. Here's an example, which has cable protection too, but I'm sure there are other brands out there too

Sometimes I fill a glass bottle with very warm water (or a plastic one if you secure it well enough) and wrap it in some fleece for them to snuggle against.

Thanks for the ideas everyone:) I am going to try all off them and report how it goes!

How has your experimenting with home made heat pads gone?

It was good, i tried to put a rock in the oven for 15mins, and then in a sock, they love it (the rock was flat).

You do know that you won't get the rock back until it needs reheating, lol.
