Silvadene will be perfect for those feetsies, if you have some, Mand
I find that you really really have to spell it out for members of the public when giving them instructions with these babies. I told a really nice businessman (showed up in an Armani suit, in a BMW) to put the four babies he found in his attic "in a box with T-shirts and a Ziploc bag of hot water to keep them warm". Mr. Captain of the Universe presented me with a giant Costco grapes box that had an unsealed Ziploc in the middle,
with all the water -- now cold -- leaking out. The four babies were in the four corners of the box trying to escape the cold water....

You Gotta Spell it Out.

One more thing to remember is that microwaves keep on cooking for at least 2 to 3 minutes after the microwave stops - that's why the instructions usually say let stand for x amount of time after cooking anything. So, just remember that the heat you feel when you take it out is actually less than what it will be in two minutes or so.

Great advise.

Great advise.

Wonderful suggestion...
I learned it --personally-- when I used a large rice-buddy on my sore neck--It got warmer and warmer for almost 3 minutes...I was very careful after that with MIRA. ( R.I.P. )

OMG I want to throw up ....I usually tell anyone not to use them and if possible wrap then put them on your chest ...I just hate it...even the heating pads had someone over heat a baby OMG she even heard it crying didn't know to only put the pad 1/4 way under the box yes she felt awful but now she feels really bad knowing she killed the poor baby ......I just feel we need to tell people to put then in their shirts till they get better instructions
Sorry but this really upsets me

I dont know whether anyone mentioned it or not, but its good to wrap the rice buddie in something such as fleece or a soft small towell so the direct heat wont be right on their skin.

Abby, My wife put them under her bra. Be careful not to over heat them depending on the size of heaters installed.....Some heaters work better than others.....just had to say it.
