Heat/Cold Lupin Bag

Heat Bags

Lupin seeds retain their heat for longer than wheat, are odourless and don’t sweat when heated in a microwave. They are also allergy-friendly for Coeliacs, or anyone who is Gluten-sensitive.

However, because lupin seeds are from the legume family, people with nut allergies should avoid use. If you are an allergy sufferer and in doubt please contact your physician before buying our heat bags.

Heat in the microwave

Simply pop your heat bag in the microwave for 90 Seconds on high. Make sure the pack is as spread out and flat as possible to get even heat distributed through it. It’s really important to make sure your turntable inside the microwave actually turns. If it doesn’t, do not use, as this will cause uneven heating and may produce hot spots that can burn.

WARNING: Please be warned that heat bags are a fire and burn hazard and must be treated with care. Heat bags should not be overheated, nor should they be placed into the bed because there is a risk that they could catch fire. For safety reasons, heat bags should not be heated in the oven.

Please carefully follow these instructions.

Test after 1 minute

Put your heat bag in the microwave. After 60 Seconds test your heat bag to see if it’s warm enough. If after a 30 seconds wait you think it needs a bit longer put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds

We don’t recommend using an oven as it’s not as safe as a microwave. If you accidentally leave it in the oven unattended there’s a chance it could smolder or catch on fire.

Try a cold pack in the freezer

You can also use your heat bags as a cold pack. Simply store it in the freezer and then apply to bruises, or strains. If your health condition is serious please seek professional medical advice.

Safety Points

Please be careful and follow these safety warnings:

• Don’t over heat your heat bag. It’s not designed to be extremely hot so please don’t put it in the microwave for any longer than 2-3 minutes.
• Always check the temperature before using the heat pack directly on your skin.
• Do not use your bag if you notice a burnt smell. If you notice this happening it is definitely time to replace your heat bag.
• We recommend replacing your heat bag after every two years of use.
• Make sure you store your heat bag in a dry place
• Never heat your bags in the oven.
