5.0 out of 5 stars Best bottle I've owned!, November 12, 2007

I've owned a lot of hot water bottles and I abuse them by putting boiling water in them. I sleep with one every night for extra warmth. They usually last about a year before the seam splits. This bottle doesn't appear to have the same seam system if any seams at all. It is made of a very thick silicone which holds the heat very well. With a towel cover over it, it stays solidly warm for eight hours. The textured surface on one side is quite a high texture which does a good job of preventing it from getting too hot to touch. The neck is wide and easy to pour water into without it spitting back at you. I'm in love with this bottle and I expect that it will last longer than the usual year. Seller was great. The bottle came on time and in great condition. They even threw in a free bar of soap!
August 2009-Nearly two years later and the bottle is still holding up strong!
January 2011-Still in perfect condition!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hot Water Bottle Ever., February 24, 2009

What can I say? I've owned many water bottles before and it was only by accident that I ran into the Fashy-brand bottles on Amazon; I am forever glad that I did.

After using this bottle for 2 years, it is hands down the best one I've ever used.

################# LONG TERM EDIT - PLEASE READ ###################
I have two of these Fashy transparent bottles and still love them to death (so does my mum), but one thing to note that I also experiencing a "yellowing" of the bottles. I am located in the Bay Area, so I don't think it has to do with the local water supply. Anyways, it doesn't affect the performance, but I loved the original clear, clean look. It still has it, but with a tinted yellow discoloration.

Also, the smooth side of the hot water bottle has begun to peel somewhat. It has not affected the job performance. I tend to abuse my bottles (lie down on them -- all 165lbs of me) and put boiling water, so YMMV.

PROS:
1) Huge mouth and anti-"spurt" lip prevent water spitting back out like those old rubber ones
2) OMG It's transparent!!! No more guesswork about how much hot water is inside!
3) VERY easy to tighten, and SECURE bottle cap! I've literally sit on this thing with boiling water, and filled to the max, and it has never leaked
4) Leakproof design, unlike old rubber counterparts, due to the fact that is made in a single mold, without any kind of
5) It's frikken' transparent!!

CONS:
1) No doubt about it. For $24-27 shipped, it is expensive, but IMO if you use this thing daily like I do for muscle pain/helping with sleep/feel warm and toasty in a cold room, then it's damn worth it (this is coming from a loyal tightwad gazetter :P)

2) Yellowing of the bottle
3) Long time, top portion, smooth side of the bottle begins to peel. :(

NEUTRAL:
1) Sweet lemony smell for the first few weeks, then disappears

This is an excellent product! Those of us who live in homes with solar 12-volt electricity have discovered hot water bottles as the best way to pre-heat the bed before retiring. (They are also perfect for cold toes or an achy back.) We have tried many and this is the best one yet! The wide mouth is easy to fill. The clear container makes it easy to determine that it is not over or under-filled. The material is heavy and seems durable. The bottle is also manufactured without a seam--one of the primary causes of failure. There is little worse than a bed full of water in the night! The only thing this product needs is a flannel jacket, which is easy to make at home.
