Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I microwave it for?
Microwave for 1-2 minutes on full power, checking and shaking every 30 seconds after the first minute to distribute the heat evenly. Always test the temperature on your wrist before applying to skin.
How long does the heat last?
The Fish Print Wheat Bag retains heat for approximately 20-45 minutes depending on your microwave wattage and room temperature.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
Many expectant mums use it for back comfort and relaxation. Always check with your midwife or GP before use during pregnancy, and always test temperature carefully before use. Avoid applying heat directly to the bump for extended periods — use it on your back, hips, and shoulders instead.
Is it good for postpartum recovery?
Yes — the 47cm length drapes perfectly across the lower back and shoulders. Many new mums use it during and after feeds to ease the tension that builds from holding baby.
Is it good for back pain?
Yes — the extra-long 47cm length is ideal for draping across both shoulders or along the lower back. The 750g weight provides gentle therapeutic pressure alongside the heat.
Which colour is available?
The fish print is available in cheerful yellow or calming blue — select your preference from the options above.
Is the lavender scent strong?
The scent is natural and gentle — dried English lavender buds, not synthetic fragrance. Typically lasts 6-12 months with regular use.
Can I wash it?
The wheat bag itself should not be washed or immersed in water. Spot clean the cover only. For a fully washable option, browse our removable machine-washable covers.
Is it vegan and eco-friendly?
Yes — filled with 100% natural British wheat grain and dried English lavender. Reusable and a sustainable alternative to disposable heat packs.

Wheat Bag Safety Guide: How to Heat, Use & Care for Your Microwavable Heat Pack
Heating Your Wheat Bag Safely
Always heat your microwavable wheat bag in a clean microwave on medium power (500-600W). For first-time use, heat for 1-2 minutes, then check the temperature. Never exceed 3 minutes of heating time to prevent overheating and fire risk.
Key heating safety tips:
- Heat in 30-second intervals for optimal warmth
- Never heat a damp or wet wheat bag
- Allow to cool for at least 4 hours between heating cycles
- Check for hot spots before applying to skin
- Do not overheat - wheat bags should be warm, not burning hot
Safe Usage Guidelines
Place your heated wheat bag on the affected area for 15-20 minutes maximum. Always use a protective cloth barrier if the heat pack feels too hot against bare skin. Wheat heat therapy is ideal for muscle pain relief, period cramps, arthritis, back pain, neck tension, and warming cold hands and feet.
Never use wheat bags:
- On infants under 3 years old without supervision
- While sleeping or unconscious
- On areas with reduced sensation or poor circulation
- If the fabric is damaged or torn
Wheat Bag Care & Maintenance
Spot clean your wheat bag with a damp cloth only - never immerse in water or machine wash. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Inspect regularly for signs of wear, scorching, or unusual odours.
Replace your wheat bag if you notice:
- Burnt smell or scorch marks
- Torn or damaged fabric
- Moisture or mould inside
- Reduced heat retention
Longevity & Storage Tips
With proper care, quality wheat bags last 2-3 years. Keep away from pets and children when not in use. Store in a breathable cotton bag rather than plastic to prevent moisture buildup.
Important Safety Reminder: Always supervise wheat bag use and follow these guidelines to ensure safe, effective heat therapy for natural pain relief and comfort.
