This page will give you all the straight information to understand why we chose whole corn. Corn is a larger grain than rice, wheat, or flax, so it can hold it's heat longer, yet remains moldable around arms and legs. Whole corn is naturally cracked open at the bottom where it comes loose from the cob, and will not pop open when heated.
Wheat carries warnings!
There is a danger of fires and explosions from the small wheat grains drying out. Plus it doesn't
stay warm as long as corn.
The facts are rice is too small!
Rice can scorch if reheated before it's completely cooled, or it can scorch if it's heated for too long. Because it's a smaller grain, it doesn't stay warm for as long as whole corn.
Rice tends to develop a slightly rancid odor over time.
Flax seed can be explosive!
Flax seed is 30-40% linseed oil, which can be explosive in the presence of oxygen. Flax heating bags have been known to explode. Another good reason to use corn.
SCENTED or UNSCENTED?
Most people will enjoy the mild odor of popcorn from a
heated corn bag . Since some people are allergic to perfumes, or just don't like certain scents, we prefer not to add artificial scents to our corn bags.Essential oils and dried botanicals used for aromatherapy can carry the risk of fire. They can also stain and they tend to lose their scent quickly. People who have used essential oils and herbs report that the scents don't last very long, and there's no way to refresh the bag without staining the cover. Thermal pads that use sodium acetate, and are activated by squeezing a metal disk, are expensive, can leak, and must be boiled between uses to restore them to their unactivated state. Electric heating pads must be kept near electrical outlets, and they
pose burn and fire hazards.
Hydrocolloid hot packs must be immersed in a hot water bath that ranges from 150-180 degrees, they must have 6 to 8 layers of padding between the pads and your skin to prevent burns.
They only remain warm for 30 minutes. With this information our
microwavable heated corn bags
really make sense. Just place in your microwave for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your wattage) and you are ready for about 45 minutes of soothing 120 degree heat for all kinds of pains. No cords needed, and they will last for years with a removable washable cover.
You can see how these corn bag warmers, or microwavable heating pads are
friendly consumer products according to safety committee facts.
