That's why I like the heating pads. They are safe to use against bare skin (electrically speaking) so they are certainly water proof. You may want to get the larger version which will draw more watts (and produce more heat).
They do have an internal thermostat so over heating is unlikely.
The nice thing is that they can run on even a small MSW inverter for use during travel.
Here in the States it is pretty much impossible to buy heating pads which stay on all the time.
Now days ALL heating pads sold in the States have AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE which will turn the heating pad off after 60 minutes.
These new heating pads also use some sort of thyristor device like a triac to perform the temp adjustment and shutoff duties. Newer heating pads most likely are not going to like being on a MSW inverter due to the solid state controller..
