Self-Heating Warm Packs

These nifty and discreet little heat packs from Japan warm themselves up and are perfect for relieving muscular pain and improving circulation whilst you're out and about. My friend gave me one to relieve bad back pain in a very looong lecture and it stayed hot all day and helped loads. Just not sure where you get them in the uk...
I bought some of these reusable self-heating packs for my friend since she was always moaning about her cold hands. They help with my raynaud's, if I remember to boil them up ready.

I bought some of these for myself at the last Naidex (2008) or similar shows and found them good for the first use but then having to boil them took the fun away. I ve only ever used them once.
I just use a plain old hot water bottle at home but defo think these self heating ones are the best when you're out and about because you could keep one handy just in case pain (or cold) strikes, and they last hours and hours. plus they are almost velcroy so you can stick it to the inside of your jumper and no one even knows it's there! amazing.
I think these are similar to the one I tried but haven't bought from here so not sure/ don't know about shipping to uk etc.

I bought some of these self-heating packs at John Lewis.
By the way, the same principle is applied to baby bottle warmers for when you are out and about.
Those re-usable chemical hot packs sound fantastic - I didn't know they existed. The use-once-only ones worry me for environmental reasons - hell of a waste to use them just once. So I'm glad to know re-usable ones exist!
