I never used a hot water bottle for period cramps but apparently those things can be really dangerous (risk of burns) especially if they're expired, which yes, they do expire! So I highly recommend microwavable rice or wheat bags instead, which is what I use :) you can buy them or make them, mine are homemade. Just make sure you use 100% cotton fabric and thread so it doesn't melt in the microwave lol. Those plug in heating pads/blanket things also exist, but I imagine those must be much more expensive. I used to have one but it broke :( the rice bags are also good for other things, like headaches, or just when you're really cold. My bedroom is super cold in the winter so sometimes I'll sleep with two heated up rice bags in my bed.Oct 14, 2021

I had a hot water bottle for years and years; it was so nice in the summer to cool down with but I rolled on top of it and it popped :’( Really glad it wasn’t hot at the time but still 😭💔

Plug in heating pads are where it’s at for me now 👀
