heat packs

Pocket-sized heat sources

Heat packs are portable pouches designed to provide warmth, typically for therapeutic purposes.

They may contain materials that retain heat after being microwaved or boiled, or chemicals that generate heat when activated.

People apply them to sore muscles, menstrual cramps, or cold hands: She pressed a heat pack against her lower back.
