Why Do I Feel Cold Even When Using an Electric Blanket

Feeling cold despite using an electric blanket can be caused by a malfunction or the device not being plugged in properly. Other reasons include poor insulation, health issues affecting temperature regulation, or the blanket not being set to the correct heat level. Ensuring the blanket is functioning and properly connected can help improve warmth.

Last nite, i was out with my friends for dinner. It was so cold just before i left the house, so i went and switched on my electric blanket, so that my bed would be all toastie warm for later. Anyway, to cut a long (boring) story short, at bedtime i jumped into bed, half-nude in order to feel the full benefit of the heat..and guess what?? Its was like jumping into a bloody freezer cabinet. It wasnt plugged in!!! I had been waiting sooo long and got sooo excited, that i just cried. Does anyone else just hate things like that? Its just so unfair, and today i just cant seem to heat up at all!!

sola I can't smell the rubber of my hot water bottle when I use one. And anyway I kinda like the smell of rubber anyway! I take it you just put on an extra pair of socks and a jumper and you warmed up then?

"so you have a rubber fetish,MD ?? "

No I just quite like the smell of rubber. I love smelling my eraser after I've rubbed something out. Is that a rubber fetish?

trumps as in card! As in sniffing nail varnish is like a 5 of Spades and sniffing warmed up eraser rubber is like a queen of spades and that's kinda why the trumps metaphor was being used......... . . . . . . .

well,
1) just go into bed ok, put your kness up so that a small cave is formed
2)get your hairdryer, blast the bed (not with the highest heat setting coz it might go on fire)
3) do this for about 2 mins
4)Pure hot Bliss!!

Try it, its great!

"ummm..just put it under the covers and turn it on—"

Yeah and maybe try not to cover the fan mechanism of the device while it's actually under the covers if you can appreciate the slight oxymoronic implication of the technique.

5) and try not to fall asleep before the 2 mins are up.

"Cats are usually good at negotiating small and confining spaces such as holes."

Don't you know it. 😉

"How so WH?"

Because antibling doesn't like Leos. Therefore, I was losing horribly...in the game..of life 😢.

Do I know it? I dunno. Maybe!

Actually I tend to find that aquas are more catlike than Leos. I was with this older Leo man very briefly a few years ago and he said I had a feline quality about me!
