What is it ?

My Chinese doll came with what looks like a 6" long, clear, soft, tube.

It is filled with some kind of gel and has a small silver metal disc floating around inside.

It is rounded at each end, one end smaller than the other. About 1" tapering to 1/2".

What is it for ?

It's a Sodium acetate Heating pad. Just flex a small small metal disk to initiate crystallization and plug into into the insert to warm it.

I meant to ask,

Are they re-useable ?

How many times can these heat things be used ?

Never seen such a thing before.

Wonder if I can get a larger version to keep my dogs kennel warm on winter nights ?

He has a heat pad I put in his bed that you warm in the microwave. This would be much easier.
