Very nice, this little sheep! In two minutes, it is warm and long. I like the hug watching TV, or put my feet in bed It's still more convenient than a traditional hot water bottle where you have to boil water before pouring it through a funnel, which is longer and more risky. There, two minutes in the microwave, it's just perfect! For the scent of lavender, I like it, not my boyfriend, but apparently it goes away over time. There is also a little moisture at the beginning (the time that the grains are drying), so it should be done 4-5 times without heat to use history to remove this moisture. Finally, the product was made in Europe, so no hesitation, go for it!
