Heating bills are on the rise as prices are being increased and more of us are working from home.
Sitting in all day everyday with our heating on definitely isn’t going to be cheap, leaving many of us looking for alternative ways to keep warm.
Amazon is selling cute wrap-around hot water bottles to keep us warm in the colder months and the TikTok world has gone crazy for it.

You don’t have to just wrap it around your stomach either, you can use it on your neck, feet or waist too.
Priced at £16.99, the Amazon wrap-around hot water bottle has received sterling reviews, and it was time to find out why.
The Look
To put it bluntly, this hot water bottle is adorable.
It comes in three components, so you get the wrap around belt, the hot water bottle itself and a bag to put your hot water bottle in to prevent spillages.
All you need to do is fill up the water bottle in its bag, put the bag in the belt pocket and feel the warmth.
It was incredibly soft to touch and the belt was quite strong which I was really pleased about, as velcro can sometimes be unreliable.
The only negative thing about the aesthetic of this bottle is the fact that my dog thought it was a cuddly toy and kept trying to eat it.
The Verdict
Once I’d wrapped the hot water bottle around me and got comfy on my sofa, I basically fell asleep.
The warmth from the hot water bottle made my whole body feel relaxed and cosy, and it was much cheaper than putting the heating on.
When lying down on the sofa it was extremely comfy as the hot water bottle didn’t feel rubbery or itchy like some can.
In terms of heat, the hot water bottle did a great job of encapsulating the warmth and it lasted for a good couple of hours.
It was soft to touch, and extra comfortable once I’d put my hands in the pockets with the hot water bottle itself!
If you don’t mind looking a bit silly in the comfort of your own home, this wrap-around hot water bottle is a must.
Next time I’ll be trying it on my neck to relieve some tension, and maybe my feet as an alternative to slippers.
I’ll be giving this product a 5/5 because it helped me have a great snooze.
