1. Keep the bag away from the body when packing it, to avoid exposure to hot water spray.
2. Do not fill the bag with very hot water, and use warm water only, to avoid exposure to hot water burns that may be dangerous and cause deformation of the skin.
3. It is sufficient to fill only half of the bottle with water.
