KINCHO Adhesive Body Warmer Pad Wormwood 8pcs

A body warmer pad that shoppers in Canada order in winter does one thing: it gets warm and stays warm for hours.  These are single-use pads that begin heating when you open the packet and expose them to air, and they stick to the outside of your clothing so the warmth reaches you through the fabric.

The Kincho version adds a scent that develops as the pad warms. This one is mugwort, known in Japan as yomogi and used across Japanese food and bathing traditions, giving a soft green herbal note rather than a perfume.

The pads are thin enough to sit under a jumper without showing. People use them on the lower back, the stomach and between the shoulder blades on cold days, and they are a fixture of Japanese winter for commuting, outdoor events and unheated rooms. This is the type of Japanese body warmer that buyers in Canada tend to stock up on. .

These pads must be attached to clothing, never directly to bare skin, to help avoid low-temperature burns.
