I would not use fleece or other synthetics unless they were for the covers and you removed them while heating and inbetween uses.

You know, in thinking about this....the ones used on your laps, to warm beds/feet or against your back... If you made a quilted "pillowcase" for them, I bet that they would stay warm a lot longer!!! Hmmm I may have to try this :wink:

My hubby thinks fibromyalgia was invented to torture him :lol: [/quote]

Fibro Stinks....I have it too! I have a tube too, it is filled with cherry pits. It does help a little, but somedays, like today, I can't stand to even touch the areas that are flared up.....

I know! I am trying to get a project done, and my neck is giving me a fit, like a pinched nerve, but it's not. It's fibro.
I tell my hubby, that all men go to monthly men's meetings, so they can share tips and pointers, to keep us women frustrated and wondering how they can be so alike in their thinking :?
He has never denied it :roll:

I made rice bags with removable, washable covers last year for Christmas presents. I use muslin for the basic bag and made covers out of flannel or fleece. They were well received by those who got them.
I heat one in the evening as a nice gesture for my DH when he's had a stressful day. Besides aching shoulders and neck from sewing or computer, I use them across my sinuses to relieve colds and headaches or wrap around my feet on a bitter cold day if my feet feel frozen. I even keep one in my desk at work to use on days when I have to huddle for hours on the computer to meet a deadline. That and a stretch while it is heating in the microwave are very helpful.

Have you tried any camping stores? They have heater inserts for you shoes, hands, or vest to warm up your chest and back. You plug them in, charge them up and they are good for 12 hours, then re-charge them and start all over again. L. L.Bean, R.E.O. or some Target Stores.
