Hokkairo: Portable Hand & Body Warmer

Hokkairo is a portable hand and body warmer commonly used in Japan during the winter season to combat the cold. These disposable heat packs are activated by air exposure and contain a mixture of iron powder, water, salt, activated charcoal, and vermiculite, which generates heat through an exothermic oxidation reaction. Lightweight and convenient, Hokkairo can be slipped into pockets, gloves, or attached to clothing, providing warmth for several hours and making them a popular choice for staying cozy in chilly weather.

Are you tired of being cold during the winter months? Do you miss the warmth of your cozy bed when you have to face the chilly outdoors? Then Hokkairo hot pads are the perfect solution for you!

Hokkairo is a Japanese innovation in warmth technology, offering a convenient and effective way to stay comfortable even in the coldest weather. Forget bulky gloves or layers of clothing, Hokkairo provides targeted warmth that lasts for hours.

How does it work?
