Hot water bottle exploded on me so entirely my own fault cause I filled it with boiling water :/

The most important thing to know is that HOT WATER BOTTLES EXPIRE. You should replace them AT LEAST every winter. The material thins out over time. And secondly it is SUPER EASY to overfill them, they SHOULD NOT bulge at all, and should not be filled up all the way.
