7 Simple Ways To Keep A Hot Water Bottle Hot

As a good rule of thumb, wait 15-20 minutes after boiling the water to let it cool down.

You can buy special covers designed specifically for hot water bottles, or you can just use a towel. Either one works!

The one downside to thermoplastic hot water bottles is that they’re more prone to leaking than rubber ones. That means you might need to replace your bottle more often, but it might be worth it if you really want a bottle that stays hot for longer.

You can start to develop serious burns after 15 minutes of direct contact with a hot water bottle. You might not be able to feel yourself getting burned until it’s too late. Avoid sitting or rolling on your hot water bottle—this can cause your bottle to burst, which can lead to burns.
