I hope you enjoy your new friend, handmade with love out of vintage textiles and filled with rice and lavender for a versatile use. Here are some tips for use and care.

  • Place your bear on top of a clean surface inside the freezer (or inside of a bag). Leave for a minimum of 4 hours. Use to help prevent swelling, sore muscles, headaches and more!

  • Make sure your microwave is clean. Depending on your microwave, it may need more time. Microwave in 30-second increments until the desired temperature is reached. Do not heat for longer than 2 minutes and 30 seconds to prevent the long grain rice from burning.

  • Every 3-5 uses, put a glass of water in the microwave with your bear. This will help keep the rice moist and prevent it from drying up and will help keep the rice particles intact.

  • Do not eat the contents of the bear.

    Do not heat in a regular stove oven.

    Do not place on children unsupervised.

    Overheating the bear may cause a fire.

    Make sure the temperature of the bear is comfortable before applying it to bare skin.
