I’ve never tried a hot water bottle before, even though most time I only have light cramps on the first day, and take extra strength acetaminophen before it gets worse. I probably should be eating more before taking it tho . I’ve heard that if the hot water bottle is too hot, that after prolonged use you can get stretch mark/red scar looking things on your stomach

I know exactly what you mean and I'm guilty, I make the hot water bottle as hot as I safely can when the pain is at its worst. Any marks go away pretty fast though, once the heat is removed.
It burns a little but it distracts from the pain. I don't make them too hot because I heard its not safe to, the bottle is only so strong. You should *always* add some cold water to it so that it isn't boiling hot.
But if you make it to a pleasant warm temp, it shouldnt leave marks or anything like that- its nice and comfy.

I truly can't imagine life without hot water bottles... even just on a cold night, they're so lovely to cuddle!

I heard the marks are permanent, never heard of temp. ones

I've never heard of that, if that actually happens they must have the bottles incredibly hot
I've only had/heard of temporary ones

Yeah, you can give yourself burns. I've done it a few times. Lots of things cause stretch marks though. I've got a bunch that just came from nowhere

Why do they all show teeth? Is it supposed to make them look like babies?
