The heating process of microwave slippers is quite simple, as all you need to do is place the Warmies slippers into the microwave for the recommended amount of time (anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute depending on the microwave).

Warmies microwavable slipper heating technology comes down to the type of filling that is used. Many other microwavable slippers on the market have a variety of plastic filling (weighted and unweighted) that can retain heat just fine, but plastic filling such as this can pose a health risk as plastic can leach toxins when heated. These toxins are not great to have in a place like your microwave.

Flax is capable of retaining heat for up to 40 minutes or longer without posing any risks, making it the ideal material for the microwavable slipper warming process. Warmies products also have real French lavender which releases a relaxing aroma.

How to use microwavable slippers correctly 

Now that you're considering Warmies micorwavable slippers or already have them, you need to know how to use them correctly. Correct use will keep your Warmies slippers clean, intact, and functioning for years. So here are things to keep in mind when using your slippers as well as how long to microwave Warmies:

• Heating In the Microwave - Warmies recommends that you don't leave your slippers for more than 2 minutes at a time. The amount of time that you leave your slippers in the microwave will depend on the strength of your microwave, but typically heat up time will range from 45 seconds to a minute and a half. Be sure to read the instructions that come with the slippers.
• First-Use Moisture - It's common for Warmies products to feel a little damp after microwaving them for the first few times. This is completely normal due to the natural moisture content of the filling material. This will stop happening after the first few uses, but you can always place a towel with the slippers for the first few uses to absorb any moisture.
• Monitor Temperature - If your slippers are overheated, do not put them on. If they are too hot they can damage your skin. Excessive overheating can also damage the product entirely. Let the slippers cool sufficiently and don't let them sit in the microwave unattended for long periods of time.
• Freezing - If you want your slippers to cool your feet, simply place them in a freezer bag and put them in the freezer for roughly 2 to 3 hours. Cold will help with inflammation, bruising, and common injuries such as that. 
• Clean Up - If your slippers get dirty, do not place them in the washer or submerge them in water. This will destroy the filling and prevent it from functioning properly in the future. Instead, use a clean damp cloth to clean the slippers. You can use small amounts of stain removing products if you have tough stains. 
• Guidance on Reheating - Each and every one of Warmies' products are designed to be used and reheated over and over again. All that you need to do is follow the guidelines above and ensure that you are letting the product cool in between reheating them to prevent damage.
