Yes I can, it’s called SoftHeat, bought at London Drugs:

The parts can easily be acquired at an electrical store if you’d like to save a few bucks and know what you’re doing. I didn’t but it just looks like 3 wires and a switch essentially.

Looks good. Does that heating pad wrap around nicely? Ideally I was looking for a usb cup warmer that would wrap around a mug instead of sit underneath it. Alas, I couldn’t find one. 45 minutes of heat you say? What is the material? I’m a bit curious because you also mention 4.5 minutes in the microwave (1200 watt I assume?).
I didn’t initially like the prospects of semi-permanently adhering wires to my cylinder but decided to go through with it because I was liking the idea of being heated in the tube by just plugging it in.
There were a few difficulties heating the tube with the standard heating pad.
1. It was difficult to get good heat transfer. The heating pad wouldn’t wrap in a circle but more in a hex and touch certain areas.
2. My hand would get uncomfortably warm, and fumbling with tieing it or making it into a slip-on didn’t work too well.
3. I couldn’t see anything.

I love it! The warm shower is probably my favourite method of relaxing when I have the time to do so. It also weighs on my conscience with the amount of water throughput. The shower, and bath, since childhood has been a place of thinking and relaxation for me.
Hot Shower
Directions: There are so many different methods of using the hot shower.. With a constant supply of hot water it can be combined with a hot cloth, submerging your penis in a glass to heat etc.
Ease of Use: 5/5
- Run the shower.
Time of Setup/Maintainability: 3/5
- Turn on, heat, turn off.. Dry off. The whole process is pretty lengthy.
Heat Absorption: 4/5
- I don’t usually get awesome heat retention with this method. No matter how long my penis has been in a warmup.
Disturbance: 4.5/5
- Virtually none. Just integrate it with your shower routine. The thing that disturbs is the length you take your shower and the noise of the shower itself. If you live with light sleepers sometimes hot showers at night is difficult.

Does anyone know what kind of shop sells heating pads?
Hmm.. Try applying olive oil perhaps if you want to jelq after? Sometimes it’s hard to get a good warmup in the shower, but sometimes I can. I don’t think I explored this area enough to know the recipe for a great shower warmup.
Most health stores sells heating pads.. They’re under the sections of heating pads and wraps.

The testicle heating problem is very real with the IR lamp though. The only time you want cooked testicles is in a restaurant after a bull fight. Ideally they should be bull balls, not your own.
Use a fairly thick piece of white cloth (white reflects the light back) over your testicles and all will be fine!
I’m not exactly sure how to wear the cloth? Do I hang it like a bib? (Actually that may just work and I think I just answered my own question).

It’s just a pump cylinder with the original internal parts from a heated electrical pad.. I could discuss this more with those more electrically inclined, improve the design.. Make it more waterproof.. Detachable etc.. And sell it as a unit but I’d rather post instructions at some point and have people make their own and post back with their feedback/improvements. As I discussed in PM the parts could *easily* be picked up at a hardware store instead of spending money on a heating pad.

I don’t even have to cover my balls because they take very indirect light from it and don’t experience an increase in temperature. I’m more worried about my eyes to be honest. Even after looking at my dick in the light for a couple minutes I see everything in a different color for a little while. I’d love to find one of those invisible infrared bulbs, but Walmart only sells them in 200W.I also use the IR lamp when pumping. Sometimes I’ll even hold the pump with one hand and move the light around with the other. It feels really warm and constant, no complaints. IR head definitely has my vote.
Reading replies like this makes me want to take a closer look at IR lamps. Thanks.
