Long Hot & Cold Water Bottle
The Long Hot and Cold Water Bottle helps ease aches and pains. You can wrap it, hug it or sling using the extendable strap and enjoy hands-free heat for up to 6 hours! Made from the highest quality, biodegradable natural rubber, the Long Hot and Cold Water Bottle is environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
Our long hot water bottle is great to cuddle and snuggle on a winter's night, especially when you're in need of some heat therapy. We do know not everyone benefits from heat therapy but instead opts for cold therapy which can also significantly reduce inflammation and swelling that causes discomfort.
Save money by heating yourself instead of your home with a long hot water bottle.
What's more, the bottle can be put in the freezer for cold therapy too! The Long Hot & Cold Water Bottle is very versatile due to its shape and unique strap. You can wrap it, hug it and sling it. Its flexible design allows you to reach parts of the body that are hard to get to with a conventional bottle, such as your neck and lower back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Safety instructions
Over time as your Hot Water Bottle (the inner) gets its use, the rubber will naturally deteriorate. We therefore advise you to check the rubber bottle regularly for any possible tears and damage. If you notice a tear in the rubber bottle, please make sure to replace your Bottle.
Note: If you live in an area that uses hard water, the rubber may degrade quicker. We therefore recommend you to check your bottle before each use.
Parental supervision is advised if given to children. Not suitable for children under 3 years of age due to small parts choking hazard.
Stop use immediately if your skin begins to react.
Warnings
Do not:
- Use with infants, persons sensitive to heat or those with a latex allergy
- Pour boiling water directly into the rubber bottle (see instructions for hot use)
- Allow direct or prolonged contact with skin (use the cover to prevent risk of burns)
- Overfill with water as it may stretch and expand the rubber bottle causing damage to the rubber bottle
- Allow the bottle to come into contact with hot surfaces, oil or grease
- Heat in a microwave oven
- Use the Bottle as a cushion or place weight on it
Care instructions
Because all of our Bottles are made out of 100% natural, biodegradable rubber, it is not advised to use soap or detergent when cleaning your Bottle. Simply use a wet cloth to wipe your Bottle down.
STORING THE ARTHR BOTTLE
When not in use, drain the water completely and store with stopper removed, in a cool, dry and dark place (away from direct sunlight). Do not place anything on top of the bottle during storage.
COVER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To keep the covers looking great, wash after wash, please refer to the wash tag on the inside of your cover.
If you notice a faint rubber scent
When filling the Bottle for the first time you may notice a strong rubber odour. This may occur when heating up your Bottle for the first time. To reduce or eliminate this rubbery smell, please follow the instructions below.
- Rinse the rubber bottle out by filling ¾ full with hot water (never boiling water).
- Secure the stopper and give the bottle a quick shake. Leave the water in for half an hour in a safe place and pour water out.
- Repeat this process 3 to 4 times or until the smell subsides.
- Once the smell subsides, place the rubber bottle back in the cover and voila, you are good to go!

"I really used to struggle using nail clippers in my left hand to trim the nails on my right hand. I just don't have the strength to hold the clippers and press down at the same time. This gadget has made trimming the nails on both hands so easy- I love it!"
Shelley

Elizabeth
"I find the kettle is a great help, as I was struggling lifting my old kettle to fill it....but this is amazing. It is lighter to lift to fill and fits into the cradle with ease. Glad I decided to buy the Ucello one after looking for an alternative to my own."
Janet
"Wow! They're great! I wondered if I needed them, if I was making a fuss about a twinge or two. Well the difference is striking! I genuinely feel relief! They wash and dry very well. I'm so pleased with my purchase. Thank you so much. I'm now thinking of buying them in different colours."
Christine
"I have bad Arthritis in both hands and fingers and find it difficult to open my security gate and front door.I had brought another item to help but it wasn’t much help so I thought I would give yours a try.Thank you so much it makes it so easy now and no more sitting on the step waiting for someone to help me.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"
Evelyn
"My daughter-in-law kindly bought me a pair of these gloves as the arthritis in my hands is getting worse. They have proved to give a lot of relief in my painful joints, so much so that I have treated myself to another pair. I would highly recommend these gloves."
Teresa
"Very good quality and a good fit. Invaluable when I’m using my hands a lot. They really help to ease the pain."
Maggie
"I have osteoarthritic thumbs and so have tried a lot of tools for opening cans, from spoons to really expensive gadgets. This reasonably priced and simple tool is by far the most successful. I have used it on ring pull cans of various shapes and sizes without a problem. My thumbs say thank you!"
Anna
"Love the key turners. They really help as I often struggle to hold anything between my thumb and finger let alone exert any pressure through my arthritic bent and swollen joints. They also help me to spot my keys when I have buried them after putting them down! It sounds like I am over exaggerating but little aids like this really help and make me happy."
Fawzia
"Excellent gloves, really help to relieve the pain…at a push I can wear whilst driving. Currently it’s just my right hand that’s bad, so left hand glove a tad redundant for now."
Justin
"Omg what a fantastic kettle, my mum has arthritis and this as made her gain more independence and made life alit easier. Such a simple thing and hey we love it, thank you."
