Will the Body Strap fit me?
The Ailia Body Strap offers customizable adjustments to cater to diverse body types and sizes. This adaptability guarantees that the Ailia Bottle delivers optimal relief and comfort to a wide range of users.
The strap's design prioritises lightweight and practical wear, ensuring that you can comfortably go about your day while enjoying the benefits of the Ailia Bottle.
The body strap's length is 120cm and does not directly correspond to a specific clothing size because it is designed to accommodate various body shapes and sizes but approximately fits between sizes XS ~ XL at the waist.
It is intended to be adjustable and versatile, allowing users of different sizes to comfortably secure the hot water bottle in place. Therefore, the body strap is not specifically tied to a particular clothing size but rather provides a flexible fit for a wide range of individuals.
For additional room we offer an extension strap that adds an extra 30cm (of usable length, the extension strap is 60cm), the total length of the body strap can be securely extended to 150cm. This extension allows for further adjustability and approximately fits between sizes 2XL ~ 4XL at the waist.
The added flexibility ensures that individuals with different clothing sizes can effectively use the ailia bottle with the body strap, providing them with the desired level of comfort and protection.

It's important to note that our electric hot water bottle should be used with caution, and appropriate care should be taken to avoid burns or accidents. Please follow our instruction label and guidelines for safe usage.
What material is the Ailia Bottle made of?
Our Ailia Bottle is made up of a 6-layer explosion proof material. The Ailia green external material that we all love is made of Flannelette.
Flannelette is often made from cotton or a cotton blend. It's soft, cozy feel makes it the perfect fabric to keep you warm, comfortable and for long lasting heat.
Overall, flannelette is a comfortable and versatile fabric that is well-suited for bedding and sleepwear, providing warmth and a soft touch.
Can I wash my Ailia Bottle?
No. Even though our Ailia Bottle is waterproof, we absolutely do not recommend machine washing.
However, you may carefully spot clean with a wet wipe.
Can I wash my Ailia Body Strap and Additional Strap?
Absolutely, our Ailia Straps can be machine washed with similar colors, on a cold wash, we recommend using a wash bag to protect the flannelette material.
Or alternatively you can spot clean with wet wipe or slightly dampen towel. No tumble dry.
Make sure you do not leave it to dry in the sun as this may cause the colour to fade.
Can I use the Ailia Bottle without the body strap?
You can use the Ailia Bottle without the Body Strap however we do not recommend using the bottle without it at the full 70° Celsius.
We need to protect our skin so adding a layer of protection when using the Ailia Bottle, is important for several reasons:
- Heat Distribution: The ailia bottle can generate significant heat, and direct contact with the skin may cause uneven heat distribution or localized hotspots. This can potentially lead to redness, skin irritation, or even burns. By using a layer of protection, such as the ailia body strap, the heat is more evenly distributed, reducing the risk of discomfort or injury to the skin.
- Insulation: The ailia body strap acts as an insulating barrier between the ailia bottle and the skin. It helps to minimize the transfer of heat, ensuring that the temperature remains within a safe and comfortable range. Without this additional layer, the skin may be exposed to excessive heat, which can result in skin irritation and potential damage.
- Prevention of Accidental Contact: Sometimes, when using the ailia bottle without the body strap, there is a chance of accidental contact between the bottle and sensitive areas of the body, such as the abdomen. This can be risky, as these areas are more susceptible to heat-related injuries. The body strap provides a secure way to keep the ailia bottle in place, minimising the likelihood of accidental contact and associated risks.
- Comfort: Using the body strap can enhance the overall comfort of using the ailia bottle. It helps to secure the bottle in the desired position, preventing it from shifting or slipping. This ensures that the heat is consistently applied to the intended area, providing effective relief from pain or discomfort.
Overall, adding a layer of protection, such as the body strap, when using a hot water bottle is recommended to ensure even heat distribution, prevent skin irritation or burns, minimise accidental contact with sensitive areas, and enhance overall comfort during use. It serves as an additional safety measure to protect the skin and promote a positive user experience.
What is the size and weight of the Ailia Bottle?
The Ailia Bottle dimensions are (270x180x50mm) which is just smaller than an A4 piece of paper and about 3 iPhones in thickness.
It weighs around 1240~1270g.
Why does my Ailia Bottle make a boiling sound whilst charging?
It is normal to have a slight smell and hear the liquid boiling when heated.
Can I travel overseas with it?
The Ailia Bottle is travel friendly in the sense that all you need is the bottle and the charger to use it (no microwaves or kettles).
Before travelling overseas or domestically via plane you must contact your airline and get confirmation from them as all airlines have different rules and regulations.
You must also take into consideration the power voltage of the destination country as some outlets may not be able to support our power wattage.
Also, you will need a plug adaptor for your destination country as our charger has an Australian plug.
