Transparent Classic Hot Water Bottle - Made in Germany

OkayI have mixed feelings about this water bottle. If you fill it as directed, using hot or warm tap water, it is not warm enough to really heat your body through the thick plastic. To make it more effective, we will heat up water in our kettle, but this of course carries its own risks. (To be fair, the bottle does seem to be very well constructed and has not shown even the slightest hint of leaking when I have used it or left it laying somewhere between uses. However, if it were to leak - yikes!)The bottle is fairly thick and not very flexible, which made it less useful for me. For some applications, these qualities will likely be beneficial or at least not problematic. However, this certainly isn't for any hot compress application. I got the bottle for warm compresses for breastfeeding. The bottle was too big, bulky, and inflexible to be of much use. It would probably be much better for applying to one's back or warming up your feet in bed. 3i love this hot water bottlei love this hot water bottle. It s sturdy and the rubber feels thick. I thought it might be hard to keep mold away when I m not using, but It s surprisingly easy to keep this clean. I just set it upside down for a day before putting back in my caninet with the top loosely screwed 5GREAT!Many years ago, a friend of mine who is a pediatrician in Seattle, had my son over to her house for a sleepover with her children. Before going to bed, they all came into the kitchen, water bottles in hand, to have them filled before turning in for the night. They provided one for my son as well. He was so happy with it, I bought one for each of us. I kept giving ours away to friends and it became harder and harder to replace them.Thanks to the internet, I now have the perfect water bottle. This is the best hot water bottle BY FAR, I have owned!! It is soft, easy to fill, and has a loop to hold onto so I don't burn my fingers as I fill it up in the bathtub area with hot tap water. It stays hot all night and it is easy to move around with my feet at the end of the bed. I stay toasty warm all night, and therefore keep my heating bills down. Looking back, I am glad that I have given away all of my old hot water bottles to friends who have never used one before. I will now only buy this type for friends who are in need. I've found that most people I know, don't have a clue about the benefits of using one of these. 5Here the German one wins....The adhesive between the two shells appears uneven by eye, but this is a good bottle. It radiates heat more on one side that the other, which is cool. The advantage over OG rubber is you can microwave this one. I haven't tested that but my par boiled water causes no issues and it stays hot plenty, a bit better than the OG rubber ones. Get a cover. You can use other stuff as a lame cover, but the fitted is worth the humble expense. 5Excellent quality hot water bottles, but some have an odor, seller was very fair and graciousI started out with 1 star and have changed it to 4 after being able to reach the seller, who responded very kindly and fairly. So: I have purchased 4 of these German-made Fashy hot water bottles, I believe all from the same seller. The first two were fine and served for very well for about 4 years and then they both started leaking. So I bought another and it had a chemical fragrance. I let sit in baking soda for quite some time, in a plastic bag, but this did not work. I immediately bought a second one (I was off on a trip and needed it) and this one also smelled. I reported this second instance to this seller and the seller agreed to refund me, without my having to sending it back, which I greatly appreciated. These water bottles do not inherently give off an odor, but they can pick up odors if they come into contact with a fragrance at some point in their journey from factory to home. Another friend had same issue. Also, my friend in Germany reported same thing: she got this same brand Fashy hot water bottle from an environmentally clean store: no problem. Same water bottle, but much cheaper, from another Walgreens-type store in Germany: strong odor. 4DISAPPOINTING QUALITY.*** update after only using this for 1 winter it is now trash the neck has tares and is coming apart. Clearly at this point it isn't safe to use. These used to hold up for years and now it won't even hold up part 1 VERY DISAPPOINTING. Also something else this bottle turned yellow after a few uses very poor choice in color. I grew up with one of these as a child and I had to have one even as an adult keeps my bed warm all night in the winter. Is also helpful for cramps. 1Hot water laced with MOLDI was smitten with the concept of a see thru hot water bottle since I am a germaphob (once cut open my sons tub toys to find them filled with mold).I only fill this silicone bottle with boiling hot water and always empty it in the morning and hang it upside down to drain and dry. I had invested in a fleece cover and when I took it off - there it was BLACK MOLD inside - I promptly filled it with water and 1/4 cup of bleach let it soak for 30 min to no avail.its still has black mold visible. Not sure if this could have been prevented with a larger opening for better drying or if silicone is more prone to mold vs a traditional rubber water bottle. On the bright side it does keep water a pleasant temperature 3Big leak after less than a year of use.Sprang a leak after 10 months of use, water was everywhere, was good until that happened. Only used tap water. Not sure if I should buy again. 2My best friend on a chilly dayI m not sure how I ve lived without this. Being my first ever hottie, I can t compare it to other brands or styles, I can just say that I have no complaints. I find radiant heat more effective than airborne heat, so this is perfect to ward off chills. I ve never had a leak (I always dry the cap and opening after filling it). Mine has turned a tad yellow but I can t say if that s normal or if it s because I make it really warm (possibly warmer than I should). My family will be getting these as gifts soon so they ll stop trying to snag mine. :D 5Best Hot Water Bottle Ever. (4 year - long time EDIT!)What can I say? I've owned many water bottles before and it was only by accident that I ran into the Fashy-brand bottles on Amazon; I am forever glad that I did.After using this bottle for 2 years, it is hands down the best one I've ever used.######### AFTER 4 YEARS ######(1) YELLOWING - I have two of these Fashy transparent bottles and still love them to death (so does my mum), but one thing to note that I also experiencing a "yellowing" of the bottles. It is NOT based on the water supply. I have learned these bottles are made of TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane). 'Transparent' TPU discolors and turns yellowish (same as my iPad case). Anyways, it doesn't affect the performance, but I loved the original clear, clean look. It still has it, but with a tinted yellow discoloration. The manufacturer should use aliphatic TPU based on aliphatic isocyanates to prevent the yellowing.(2) Also, the smooth side of the hot water bottle has begun to peel somewhat. It has not affected the job performance. I tend to abuse my bottles (lie down on them -- all 165lbs of me) and put boiling water, so YMMV.(3) Bottle leaks if I don't tighten it very hard after years of use/abuse(?)PROS:1) Huge mouth and anti-"spurt" lip prevent water spitting back out like those old rubber ones2) OMG It's transparent!!! No more guesswork about how much hot water is inside!3) VERY easy to tighten, and SECURE bottle cap! I've literally sit on this thing with boiling water, and filled to the max, and it has never leaked4) Leakproof design, unlike old rubber counterparts, due to the fact that is made in a single mold, without any kind of5) It's frikken' transparent!!CONS:1) No doubt about it. For $24-27 shipped, it is expensive, but IMO if you use this thing daily like I do for muscle pain/helping with sleep/feel warm and toasty in a cold room, then it's damn worth it (this is coming from a loyal tightwad gazetter :P)2) Yellowing of the bottle3) Long time, top portion, smooth side of the bottle begins to peel after 2-3 years. 4 years later, still working4) LEAKS after 3-4 years. Make sure you tighten the twister HARD after years of usage!Still the best hot water bottle made.NEUTRAL:1) Sweet lemony smell for the first few weeks, then disappears 5
