- jimnotgym 5y ago...but everyone does. I just let it go off the boil and then use it.
- thrwy_ywrht 5y agoEvery hot water bottle tells you not to use boiling water in it, but at the same time everyone I know who regularly uses hot water bottles uses boiling water from an electric kettle.

- blacksmith_tb 5y agoI do see that there are silicone ones available, those should take boiling water in stride (though you'd need to wrap them in a thicker cover to avoid boiling yourself...)
- pandemicsoul 5y agoThe article also says you shouldn't use boiling water and recommends just using hot tap water.
- aulin 5y agoUsed to know a girl with about half of the skin of a darker color, from face to toes, burnt by a water bottle burst when she was little. Still I regularly fill them with boiling hot water. Same for everyone I know. Sometimes we're just that stupid...
