Hot love - massager discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by jmex83

I have been completely and utterly amazed by these two wonderfully warming massagers. The very first time that my wife had ordered these (she knew what they did, she used to own some years back). Me on the other hand, I was completely clueless. When she showed me how these worked, I have to say that I probably sat there and activated each one of these buggers until she yelled at me for playing with them too much. Ha!

The Hot Love warming massager set comes with 2 heated massagers. Inside of the massagers are two things. First, you have the liquid solution. Then you have a small metal disk that I would say is no bigger than a dime roughly.

To activate: snap the metal disk that is inside of the massager by gently pressing on it with your thumb and forefinger. Then, instantly you will see the liquid solution become a cloudy color, and warming instantly! It spreads out from the disk, until the entire massager has been filled with a soft, squishy type liquid. At first, it was somewhat stiff. If this happens, all you have to do is knead the massager to soften it up.

The outer material of these massagers is a smooth, velvety vinyl material. These are reusable and can be boiled down (once they cool) to store and reuse at a later time.

The heat can reach 100+ Fahrenheit and remains warm for about 30 minutes or so. Which is long enough for a pretty good massage or long enough to warm up! They will become more hardened as they cool though. So if you want them to stay "soft" you may need to keep kneading them until it becomes harder to do so.

To "Deactivate": Once the massagers have hardened or lost their warmth, you can stick them into a pot of boiling water. The instructions say to place it in the pot inside of a cloth. This will prevent anything from burning or melting to the pan. We had to leave ours inside of the pan of boiling water for about 15 minutes. Once the crystals are completely liquified again, then you can take them out using tongs. Place them on a dry towel to cool off. Once they are cooled, you can place them into a storage bag or elsewhere for safe keeping until needed again.


I thought that these would be great for hunting, ice fishing, (early morning fishing) when it is still chilly out or during the winter when the car hasn't quite warmed up yet. You can also give these as gifts to others or split them up and give one to someone and keep one for yourself. They do not come packaged individually though. They are both within one plastic bag and one box. Instructions are on the back of the box and really easy to follow.

We have had our hot love massagers for a few months now and I have to say that these are still pretty cool! They work great for when I get in the car in the morning to go to work to warm my hands and the inside of my coat. I have an inside pocket in my jacket that I stick them in after I activate the crystals and it works pretty nice! We are going to be ordering a few more sets of these for sure.
