Heating time may need to be adjusted, due to differences of individual microwaves. If not warm enough re heat at increments of 30 seconds. Do not leave pack unattended while heating. Make sure temperature is comfortable to the touch before applying to the skin. |
Store in the freezer in a zip lock bag. This will eliminate any other odors in the freezer being absorbed by the Warm Buddy pack. |
