What is Suxiaorebao?
My son just came back from Beijing and brought this back…
He thought it might come in handy for me when I foster kittens.
So, what is this Suxiaorebao thingie?
It’s a dense liquid in a thick plastic bag.
And it has this metal piece that looks like a coin.
You have to “break” the coin many times.
Now, watch what happens…
The liquid starts to change colour, and it heats up!
Yes, it becomes HOT.
Within seconds, it has become a hot pad!
You can use it on a cat who likes warmth.
That’s Tabs, by the way.
My son thought about the days I spent putting hot water gloves for the kittens whom we fostered; yes, this would come in handy.
The man in the shop says it would remain hot for 4-5 hours and can be reused “10,000 times” (that’s Chinese peddler language, so you should discount it by 80%, at the very least).
The price was 100 RMB, but he got it for 20 RMB each (when shopping in China, you must bargain). That’s RM10 each. And it comes in 3 sizes. This is the smallest.
You can use it for any part of your body that needs the heat.
I tripped over Timmy yesterday and banged both my knees on the hard floor. I thought my knee caps cracked, but I can still walk, so that’s fine. Anyway, some heating might do my knees some good.
Or, if you have back ache, it helps too.
After half an hour, it’s still hot.
20% of “4-5 hours” is about there, so yes, that’s about right.
Bunny likes it!
Indy ran away from it.
This is the life…

Is Bunny giving a massage as a payback for the hot pad? A gesture of gratitude maybe?
I saw some at Diaso (RM5 shop) x sure if it works this way. The one your son bought is easier to use as others have to put in freezer (for cold pack) or in microwave for heat.
My parents bought these packs locally, few years back. It is very good to the ladies as well especially during “that time of the month” 🙂
I bought them before when i was in HK and CHina previously. Bought a few and was very handy to have in the house….Mine lasted about 10 clicks and that was it. No more warmth 🙁 Both my Malaysia short hair kids are sleeping on electric heated beds at the moment…The heater has not been turned off for 2 months already, and i think it will need to remain on for another month or so. Poor humans have to resort to just wearing lotsa clothes as we don’t have the luxury of a heated bed…Haha.
I love the last picture – a snapshot of a priceless moment.
I bought something similar in HK, at the SASA shop. It is a hot pack where you tape it to your shirt and it will warm you up during winter. I’ve used it a couple of times and never thought of using this for the kittens I foster (dumbo me). This idea is superb! Thank you.
