I sometimes use a hot water bag when I go to bed.
Especially in winter, it is useful to warm our bed and body before falling into a sleep.
In addition, it's an environmentally-friendly goods.
Instead of keeping a heater on, we can easily sleep with a hot water bag in our bed.
Hot water bag is called Yutanpo(ゆたんぽ) in Japanese.

I recommend you to be careful not to get burned when you use it.
The other day, I actually got burned on my leg due to a hot water bag.
I went to a hospital to see a doctor.
Fortunately, he diagnosed it as a superficial burn injury.
He advised me to use a bag properly by following its instruction.
What a mess! I finally realized that the way I had used a bag was wrong.
