All-day heat

I’ve been looking for ways to maintain a gentle heat all day long, as I think this encourages growth and/or healing. It also keeps one ready for exercise or clamping at any time. I was originally hoping for something like a battery-powered hand-warmer, but have had no luck. What I’m trying out now is two chemical handwarmer pads (available almost anywhere for a buck or so) held in place with a Velcro’ed neoporene wrap. The level of heat seems right and it lasts for several hours. This is quite unobtrusive and quite comfortable :-)

I would welcome further thoughts on this subject. (Be nice, this is my first new thread as a new member.)

I’d prefer something that wouldn’t be a recurring expense (although minor, in the case of the handwarmers). Considered ski-boot-warming pads, which are indeed battery-powered, but they cost over $200.

I have also thought about long-term heating. Bought a worm-pack fro such a purpose but I have not yet tried to stuff it in my pants yet.

Got any medical evidence/reasoning behind your theory?

You mean, about the growth and healing? Largely due to my reading in this forum, but also because heat is a common therapy for injuries.

What’s a worm-pack?

What about those heat pads you can buy at the Pharmacy? they are about 3” by 4” adhesives heat pads for sore muscles.

GoonBaby - actually there is plenty of evidence that “MILD” heat is a great healer. Elbow, knee, etc wraps help the body retain heat in those areas to encourage healing at a faster rate. I’m a bodybuilder and have been for some time. I’ve had issues with my elbows from time to time and wearing an elbow wrap all day for a week will take care of it. People think they are for show but they do work and will work if you use them. I certainly think that a “MILD” heat source could prove beneficial to the penile tissues as well.

GrowinPains, I to have those pains in my elbows, especially when I go heavy like yesterday. I find most of the pain comes from when i do pull-ups. I tried those elbow pads but found no relief.

Maybe all day heat will help prevent turtling, keeping a nice full, elongated flacid.

They don’t generate heat, per se. Instead, they apply a chemical to your skin, effectively ‘irritating’ it into feeling warmth. Not my cup of tea.

My thoughts exactly.

LIL- I don’t want to hijack this thread. PM me and let me know what problems you have exactly.

ahh, yeah me neither. I hate icy hot.

Seems to be having that effect, so far :-)

Pharmacy’s also have something called Thermal Packs. They are chemical and are activated by shaking the pack. They are small enough to wear around and last several hours.

Just a word of warning here, anything putting out heat may be bad for the testicles. They need to maintain a colder temperature then everything else.

That should have been “warm” pack. So, sorry *in snooty british accent*.

I’ll spend a little time on PUB-MED for you, chief. But not today.

Only detrimental to sperm production, I believe. Not an issue for some of us :-)
