Can they be used straight away?
Yes they can be used immediately although for best results it is best to heat the wheat bag 2 or 3 times first in order to dispel any excess moisture which has been absorbed by the wheat. Once this has been done, the wheat bag will hold its heat longer.
How long do thet stay warm?
This depends on the style – the larger and heavier the wheat bag, the longer the heating time. Generally, to heat the bag it will be between 1-2 minutes. All instructions are provided.
How long does the heat last?
Once any initial moisture has been dispelled from the wheat, it will hold the heat for at least an hour, after which it will be warm. Put a blanket over the top of the wheat bag or take it to bed and the heat will last at least double this time.
Why are wheat bags better than hot water bottles?
Unlike a hot water bottle, wheat bags mould to the contours of your body - this allows the heat to penetrate quicker and deeper. Your body heat is also absorbed by the wheat bag, which stops it from going cold, so you never wake up in the morning to a cold wheat bag
