How to fill a hot water bottle?

What’s the safest way to fill my hot water bottle?

Our fur hot water bottles are designed to keep you warm and safe – but you can ensure it’s safer still by following these simple tips:

1. Hot not boiling: Your hot water bottle doesn’t need to be filled with scalding water to do its job. The neck of our bottles is generously wide too, to avoid mishaps.

2. Three quarters full: Never overfill a hot water bottle – it’s safer and more comfortable to leave a little space inside.

3. Get rid of the air: When your fur hot water bottle is only three quarters full the rest will, naturally enough, be air. As this is a hot water bottle, not a pillow, you’ll want to get rid of that excess air. Keeping hold of the neck of the bottle, stand it on a hard surface and very gently squeeze so the water climbs to just below the bottle neck. Be careful not to let any water escape. This forces the air out, leaving you free to screw in the stopper and enjoy.
