Perfect!!! My daughter loves this Colin. For the woman who always has a hot water bottle this hottie is great back-up. Stayed warm for quite a while. Colin is soft and long enough to wrap around her waist. An excellent buy, great quality, quick delivery.

I read the other reviews saying Colin was flat and thought it was an exaggeration- it wasn’t! Don’t recommend- I sent mine back.

Flat, not hot, doesn’t fit microwave

Flatter than the picture shows. Looks like Colin got run over. Doesn’t stay warm. Doesn’t get very warm in the first place. Title and description doesn’t make it clear it’s heated in the microwave. It doesn’t fit most microwaves if you follow the instructions of only folding it once. It pops in an alarming way while being heated. It’s just awful.

Easy to use but because it’s long u can use it to lay on which is great. We also use it as a foot warmer. With it being able to twist round is great . No mess with water

What I really love about the Collin Caterpillar hottie is that it’s long enough to heat my entire neck . Other hotties I ve used have been too short and slipped . The beads are contained within stitched little pockets so they are evenly distributed. I’ve got to add the Colin reminds me of birthdays when my children where young so it’s a win all round !

I bought this as a present and the person who I bought it for is over the moon with it. Says he keeps her feet snug every night. I would recommend this to everyone 100%.

Use with caution when heating up.

At first we loved Colin and how easy it was to heat up. No leaks like you might get with a hot water bottle. However, this evening whilst heating the inside part of Colin in the microwave as per the instructions, part of it started to burn and turned black. Thankfully we noticed the burning smell before it could have caught fire!

We love Colin the Caterpillar!

Saw this advertised before it became available and couldn’t wait to purchase it as a present for my daughter. May be a bit dearer than I would have liked but a discount sealed the decision. It stays quite warm but is not as warm as a traditional hot water bottle.

Everybody loved Colin

EVERYBODY LOVED COLIN but I thought he was a bit heavy to be a child's bed warmer so he has become a draught excluder instead. Very well made.

Good quality, but was expecting it to be thicker.

My friend loved this hottie in the shape of Colin the Caterpillar. Has a heat pouch that you put in the microwave then into Colin to keep you warm.
