YUYU's Body Bottle - Polka

As the title states, I truly believe the YuYu hot water bottles are by far the nicest and really well produced hot water bottles you can buy. (After all they are the original long hot water bottle makers - all other makes you see are basically copies). Now I want to make this clear that my review is completely honest and is no way influenced by YuYu or anyone else. So whether you choose the body bottle, kids styles or the standard YuYu bottle, the quality is very good - I know I now own 5 of these for not just myself but also for my wife and kids. (2 are for me lol) Now the bottle itself is a really well made rubber that has nodules covering the surface of the bottle which help disperse the heat nicely (it's not just a plain flat surface), and the bottle top is now firmer and thicker so minimising the risk of snapping if it becomes tight due to over tightening, etc. (like when you let the bottle go cold and it is difficult to open due to suction caused by air trapped inside). Now the covers themselves are well made too with fabrics being comfortable and soft, and for the body bottle the strap it is long enough for all sizes of people, and allows you to use it not just around your waist, but also on you back,etc. After trying out many other makes which let you down due to low quality and cheaper fabrics, which basically only last you one winter, these YuYu bottles are made to last you over and over. I actually suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and using these bottles help relieve my pains very well when I need it, so it's good for many reasons. Even my kids use them to warm up their beds and then snuggle up with them at bedtime. My first YuYu bottle is now 4 years old and is still as good as the day I got it. I'm just happy the quality is just as good if not better, and that the extra money this costs over other cheap knock off brands is more than justifiable. You can even by spare covers and extras directly from YuYu so you know they are here for the long run. Please don't be persuaded otherwise as you definately get what you pay for and these are well worth your money. I doubt you would be disappointed. Hope that helps, and stay warm :D

I purchased this hot water bottle 3 years ago! I absolutely love it and cannot recommend it enough. It’s the best item I’ve purchased for the price. I use it across my eyes and bridge of my nose to relieve hay fever, dry eyes or headaches. I’ve used it for a painful shoulder, it sits perfectly just slung over your shy. I’ve used it to relieve my neck and currently it’s tied around my legs (laying down) to relieve hamstring pain from pulling my muscles at the gym. I wear it around my waist for warmth when I feel cold or to relieve backache or stomach cramps. I also use it at night to keep me warm. I’ve also found it great for helping with anxiety, it’s got a nice weight to it so I find it comforting to have across my torso at night. The material is lovely and soft. Now if that doesn’t explain why I love this thing so much I don’t know what will!

Practical shape for tying around waist. Nice for lower back pain. Doesn’t work that well around the neck as is too bulky. Also, due to the long shape it goes cold much quicker than a standard (more compact) water bottle. Still pretty happy with it. Nice and fluffy to hug in bed :-)

After much research on a replacement hot water bottle I landed on this! I am glad I did too as it has completely exceeded my expectations. This is not your average hot water bottle, it has an elegant appearance that makes it feel more like a luxury comfort item. The cover is incredibly soft, like one of those super plush blankets. It feels amazing against the skin, especially on cold nights (not necessarily in Stoke). What really surprised me was the size. It’s long and flexible, making it perfect for wrapping around your shoulders, stomach, or lower back. The attached strap is also great to help holding it's position. Unlike the traditional rounded ones that can feel bulky and awkward. Despite its length, it's not overly heavy, and the thickness is just right. It holds the heat for a long time without feeling too hot on the skin. Great for cramps, aches and pains. Given the quality of the materials, it's excellent value for money. It feels durable and well made, definitely built to last. If you're in need of a new hot water bottle, I highly recommend treating yourself to this.

Perfect for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other chronic illnesses that include pain. I've been using mine for weeks now and it makes every bedtime less painful and easier to get to sleep. The best parts: Being able to cook and clean with this attached around my waist has been a dream. It holds heat quite well, as long as it goes in boiling. It's nice and soft on all parts. Attaching is easy and holds well for me. It is completely safe to use as long as you respect hot water bottles are not made to be pressed against bare skin, no problems with mine. Wear it over clothing/pyjamas, or ontop of a blanket. Problems: Splash back - pouring in hot water to this shape quickly, or straight down the hole, can make it splash/gurgle back up at you, be careful when filling this one (I have almost burned myself with this, had to develop a weird angle technique to avoid it) Bottle does get pretty heavy when you hold it to fill it - quite tricky for someone with muscle weakness, keep a good grip on it. Mine is holding up very well, but I am only around a month into use. Extremely happy with it so far.

I have tried a lot of hot water bottles and these are by far the best on the market. Not cheap but they will stay warm through the night and the shape means that I can place on my ribs where u have pain. Would recommend - I have three of them and they are sturdy. Big opening too so easy to fill.

The only thing I wasn’t pleased about was the insulating piece on the inside doesn’t cover the whole bottle, it only goes about a third of the way down. I thought this was strange as it’s my second bottle and the first one was fully lined with insulation.

So, I surprised my girlfriend with the Yuyu Body Bottle, and I gotta say, it's a winner. She's always cold, and this thing is like a warm hug that lasts for ages. The long design is genius! she wraps it around herself, and it's like an instant comfort zone. The cover is plush, and the hot water stays hot for ages – she loves it. It's one of those gifts that actually makes a difference, and seeing her genuinely happy with it makes me glad I picked this. Solid recommendation for anyone looking to score some serious boyfriend points :)
