You can just stick em in boiling water for a bit to "recharge" them and then they can be used again later
@chossenger: got that for me sis, used to be 10 bucks.
not that hot for long! the hot hands last much longer!!
also not great for 'squish' factor, one burst and stained her clothes at school. hence went back to hothands for the convenience too
I can see a lawsuit coming
Why is that?
I use them at times inside motorcycle gloves and in wet hiking boots in the tent at night to semi-dry and warm them, they're great…
Edited. My bad, just saw the instore only.
Not many stores showing stock though.
ye loggied in and showing unav. near me :/
but woolies stock is known to be dodgy, might pop in
Yeah it might be on a stand somewhere around the shop that was "allocated" stock for them but not in the system.
Hit and miss
asked at the counter, directed to BBQ section..(after wandering the meds aisle)
no 2 pks in sight, only the 5pack at full price
none 3173-4..
a box at dingley, but 80c pack = 40c per unit, still good
These are very popular in Japan and other parts of the world with winters. I dont know who would think Australia has a market for this, or selling them at supermarkets.
Then again, if trains in Brisbane still have air-con like they used to…
They're great for camping.
There are places in Australia that have bitterly cold winters. I'd love these on those -8°C Canberra mornings!
My wife suffers from chilblains. Fingers are freezing cold and swollen. This is great to keep fingers warm.
Sure it's not Raynaud's?
Environmental rubbish. Dont buy. Items like this should be discouraged, or even outlawed.
Yeah! Let's ban everything you don't like!!!
Ehhhh while I'm not a fan of single use items these are mostly just iron powder and water which is probably more "recyclable" in landfill than plastic. That said if you plan to use these sorts of things long term you should invest in a reusable one
I've tried a few brands of reusable warmers but can't get more than 30-60min out of them. Any suggestions for something that lasts a few hours when bulky gloves aren't an option?
Good point. I guess you're supposed to bring a generator and a microwave with you everywhere you go so that you can be more "green" lol.
I'm all for not creating stuff to go directly to landfill, but you have to pick your battles really. Things that have no alternative in practical terms, and aren't actually that bad in the scheme of things aren't really what the focus should be. How about people who buy cars, mowers, appliances etc that are made as cheaply as possible, never bother maintaining them, then throw them out into landfill and buy another? There's so much of that. A true ozbargainer or environmentalist would have a 30 year old mower and a 20 year old car that they maintain meticulously and plan to keep for another 10 years lol.
Sometimes I double up and it gets extra hot!
Cant see it in SA
Just in time for summer - thanks :-)
