題点があった。The conventional leg warmer has a structure in which a heating element 2 is provided on the outer surface of the bottom of the inner vessel 1, which is the position where the heating efficiency is the best, to heat the vessel. Therefore, this heat is conducted to the inner container 1, and the hot water 6 is further heated. However, in order to obtain the effect of the warm bath, it is usually necessary to put the legs in the inner container about 20 minutes before use. The inner surface of the bottom of the inner container 1 with which the legs are in direct contact is heated by the heating element 2 and becomes about 2 ° C. to 7 ° C. higher than the hot water temperature, so that there is a danger of burns or a large temperature difference from the hot water temperature. There was a problem that the usability was poor.
