A body warming bladder of pliable, waterproof material has a central portion and at least two separate limbs. The bladder has an opening for filling it with heated liquid, and a releasable end cap for normally sealing the opening. In one version of the invention the bladder is shaped to correspond substantially to the shape of a child's plush toy and is mounted inside the body of the toy with a portion of the bladder extending up to a suitable access opening in the body which registers with the bladder opening to allow the bladder to be filled with warm water. In another version the bladder is of generally V- or boomerang like shape with the access opening at the center of the V-shape, and can be fitted inside a slipper to warm the wearer's feet or used to warm other body parts. |
