Sootheze Manatee Scented Stuffed Animal Toy – Microwavable Hot Cold Stuffed Toy

Developed a hole very shortly after purchase, light use. No inner liner meant little seeds were everywhere--thought the unthinkable had happened and I brought bed bugs home from work. Thankfully no, it was just seeds from my warm little friend having difficulty. Mended it quickly, but am now hypervigilant of more tears and spilling.Perfect for soothing anxiety, just focus on the light pressure and scent. Best thing I've bought myself. I just wish it were more durable.

Doesn’t warm up to the degree that I want, BUT SO CUTE AND CUDDLY AND THE BEST THERAPY STUFFED ANIMAL I HAVE EVER HAD. If I heat him up too much, he starts to smell super strong, but not in a lavender way, but a burning lavender way. Probably my fault, but something to consider if you’re like me and don’t follow instructions 😅

I wish there were a slightly larger version available since I am an adult. I knew this one was small when I purchased it, and it fits its description well.It smells great, the weight is good and doesn't shift a lot, and I love that it is both microwaveable and freezable. Besides it being larger, my only other wish is that it had a removable cover so that it could be more easily cleaned. However, I knew that wasn't available when I purchased it, so that doesn't affect my rating.

Love this guy, I will say the smell od the lavender was VERY strong until I nuked it a few times at which point it became very enjoyable.

He smelled good for a few months but started to smell extremely strong and not good. Almost like it rotted or got moldy or something. He's the most adorable manatee plush ive ever seen though, and I love that he is weighted and chunky 😊

Something I should preface in my review, These have a VERY intense lavender smell (which i personally dont mind and like but something to be wary of if gifting to someone who is sensitive in those regards) on to the "good parts" aha, hes so adorable and soft! :) heats up quickly in the microwave and stays warm for a long time. Havent tried him as a cool compress as of yet but i would imagine he'd be great as i left him sitting in my ac'd room and he kept the temp pretty well and was cool to the touch haha. was surprised by the weight of this little guy, very comforting comparable to the weight of a weighted blanket. im really impressed with the quality. definitely worth it in my opinion! I dunno if they make more scents but they absolutely should maybe lemony or a cool mint or something similar would be nice!

I purchased this Aromatherapy Manatee because a friend of mine has a different Sootheze toy and it worked wonders for her son. This manatee is well made and lavender filled. The warming properties work well (item has to be microwaved) but also advertises it can be placed in a Ziploc bag in the freezer to remain cool. After freezing several times, the item does not keep cool as well as it keeps warm. Overall this is a well-made product, with a surprising weight and size (it was larger than I would have expected). Great quality, I would purchase this again or for a friend.

Got this fat little manatee yesterday and sadly he has a hole already. This was a gift for my teen so I know she is treating it nice. stiching is just weak
