The Grow Hot-Water Bag is a conceptual design for a much more up-to-date water pad that can be used to soothe the body from stress, injury or muscle tension. The design makes up for the need to have someone hold the compress to the skin by adding on a belted strap so consumers can wear the bag while keeping their hands free. The design allows for targeted application without rendering the wearer immobile.
Suffering from a strain is never fun, but having to hold and apply pressure to the area only further renders the person unable to perform other activities. Designer Tahsin Emre Eke restructured the hot water bottle design to be flatter and longer to wrap around muscle and problem areas. The strap also allows the bottle to be secured in place and worn handsfree.
