Shoulder and neck warmer – gel heat pack, 43 × 21 cm

A long day at your desk, shoulders hunched, your neck starting to complain – sound familiar? This gel heat pack is made for exactly those moments at the end of your working day: one click of the metal disc inside and the kawako neck warmer instantly gives off soothing warmth. Drape it around your shoulders and neck, take a deep breath – and feel the tension slowly ease.

What changes for you

• You get warmth the moment you need it – a quick click of the metal disc is all it takes, with no electricity, batteries or microwave.
• Your neck and shoulders are warmed evenly, because the gel filling moulds itself to the contours of your body.
• You can take neck warmth with you wherever you go – in the car, at the office or when travelling, as the heat pack works completely independently of plug sockets.
• You use one pack instead of lots of disposable products: once it has cooled, simply boil it briefly and it's ready to use again – up to 1,000 times.
• You can use it with peace of mind, because the filling is made of sodium acetate – a substance that is even approved as a food additive.

Why this shoulder and neck warmer makes a difference every day

Whether after hours at the computer, after hiking, skiing or a long day at work: tense shoulders often stay with you well into the evening. With a shoulder and neck warmer that gives off warmth instantly without any preparation, you don't have to wait for a heating pad to warm up. You treat yourself to a break exactly when you need it – on the sofa, at your desk or in the car. That's why this gel heat pack for the neck has a firm place in the Bütic wellness range.

Material & finish

The PVC outer cover is skin-friendly and hygienic – you can place the pack directly on your shoulders and neck without a second thought. Inside, the sodium acetate gel filling makes sure the pack nestles softly against your body instead of sitting there stiffly. Sodium acetate is completely harmless: it is approved as food additive E262 and is found, for example, as an acidity regulator in many tinned fruits, vegetables, fish and salads.

• After a hike, a day on the slopes or a sporting event: your muscles have worked hard and the heat pack is ready and waiting – you feel the soothing warmth exactly where you need it.
• On the go in the car or when travelling: as no plug socket is needed, your source of warmth is always to hand – even on long journeys.
• Our tip before first use: Boil the neck warmer once before using it for the first time. That way you get the maximum heat phase right from the start.
• Our tip for longer-lasting warmth: Cover the neck warmer while you're using it – the heat phase will last noticeably longer.

Good to know about sodium acetate

The warmth comes from sodium acetate – a substance that, as additive E262, is even approved for use in foods such as tinned fruit, vegetables and fish. So you're not holding a chemistry lab in your hands, but a heat pack with a completely safe filling – ideal if you use it regularly at home, at the office or when travelling.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: once the gel pack has cooled, place it in boiling water for about 8–10 minutes – and it's ready to use again. This works up to 1,000 times, so your neck warmer will keep you company for a long time, without any batteries or spare parts.
