While we’ve all been snuggling up with our hot water bottles this winter, have you considered what they’re made from?!
Some hot water bottles are made from PVC (think strong ‘hot water bottle’ chemical smell!). Many of us prefer to avoid PVC because it is a fossil fuel–derived plastic, and ongoing concerns have been raised about the chemical additives and phthalates used to make it flexible. So, after a lot of research, we sourced 100% natural rubber hot water bottles for you! These are made by Sänger, a wonderful German company who adhere to a very high standard of manufacturing. Constructed with just a single piece of rubber with no seams, prioritising safety and longevity. We feel this is the best option out there not only for premium quality, but for your own health and the health of the planet.
Here’s a bit more about why we prefer natural rubber over other alternatives...
Our Health:
✨ Chemical-free comfort - free from PVC, phthalates, and heavy metals
✨ Enhanced burn safety - natural rubber stays naturally pliable and handles extreme heat beautifully without becoming brittle or prone to sudden splits
✨ Cleaner indoor air - heating up PVC bottles can accelerate the release of heavy chemical plasticiser fumes right into your home. Natural rubber doesn’t need those synthetic softeners, so it’s much nicer for your nose and your indoor environment
Our Planet’s Health:
💚 Responsibly harvested: Made from FSC-certified, sustainably sourced natural rubber trees
💚 Renewable: Uses plant-based latex rather than finite, polluting fossil fuels
💚 True biodegradability: Naturally breaks down back into the earth under appropriate conditions at the end of its life cycle, unlike PVC plastics
So keep cosy, safely and sustainably 💗
