I can't answer the instead part 'cause I never could get them to stay
put...but, as far as the heat while you sleep I use the ThermaCare heat
wraps. They make a size for your tummy and one that will wrap around
and fit the small of your back. I use them at night and while I'm
working. One lasts about eight hours, sometimes longer. You can buy
them at Walgreens (most drug stores probably).
Hope that helps!
