Heat pads in UK

Hi, I remember reading about a commercial version of the rice sock that you put in the microwave and it lasts for up to 4hrs on here somewhere but I can’t seem to find it now. I was wondering if anyone knew of the best places to buy these type products or good heat pads in the UK for fairly cheap (around £20?). I love my rice sock but it is very inconvinient to have to keep heating it up during my pumping sessions and is the reason why I never used to use heat during the pump but it definitely makes a difference so I think its time to upgrade!

Thanks in advance!

Try a google search for heat pads. You should find what you require there, as there is quite a variety offered.

You live in England, look at the Argos catalogue or even Amazon and you will find some decent heating pads; happy pumping and let me know if you need any other input.

Thanks for the replies. I have looked at argos and amazon and a few other places but neither of them give ratings of power etc and tbh im not sure how hot they are supposed to get so I was just wondering if anybody else from england has bought and uses one?

If you can., google on the name of the item which should take you to the manufacturers site, and you should find the information there.

I tried doing that and fund that they don’t give details. So I have e-maied them. If I get an answer I’ll print it here if they don’ answer then stay away from them. (I’ll tell you that as well) :)

Okay thanks petitfaun, thats very kind of you!

You can usually find electric heat pads in the ‘bad back’ section in boots. I bought one from there a few years ago and it did the job well.

PS No replies = No go :)

Lordbase’s post is best advice!

I do not know what the standard rating is on the heating pad I have, but it’s the Dreamland one, it last for about a year, but if you keep your slip and purchase details you can get it replaced when it dies out. I have recently purchased mine from Argos but in previous years from Boots too.

I hardly do any form of PE without heat, irrespective of whether it’s pumping or hanging.

Thanks Petitfaun. Phenyo- I have seen this heat pad and Im thinking Im going to buy it this week. Im curious about the comment you made about replacing it when it dies- is that the warrenty? How many times have you replaced it and where do you take it to get replaced? Is it suitable for wrapping around the cylinder whilst pumping?
