Our Story

In 2006, I left my corporate job to stay home with my young kids. An entrepreneur at heart, I sought something to keep me creatively engaged during nap time. With a new sewing machine, three yards of fabric, flax seed, and dried lavender, Whiffy was born.

Why I Started Making Microwavable Heating Pads

As someone who values natural remedies and comforting solutions, I wanted to create a product that provided gentle relief and calm without relying on medication or electric heating pads. I struggled with tension headaches and back pain myself, and I knew there had to be a better, more natural way to find relief.

Our handmade heating pads combine warmth and cold therapy with aromatic herbs like lavender, peppermint, and chamomile to offer soothing comfort amidst life's daily demands. Whether you're nursing a sore back, easing menstrual cramps, soothing a headache, or just winding down after a long day, these versatile packs can help melt your stress away.

From Home Business to Los Angeles

What started at my kitchen table during naptime has grown into a thriving small business. Over the years, our family and business have grown and relocated to Los Angeles, California. Yet every Whiffy is still made by hand to your specifications, with your comfort in mind.

Each heating pad is carefully crafted using beautiful fabrics and 100% flaxseed, a natural filling that retains heat longer than rice or corn and won't mold or attract bugs. I personally select every fabric pattern, test every herb blend, and ensure each product meets the quality standards I'd want for my own family.

Our Commitment to You

When you order from Whiffy, you're not getting a mass-produced product from a factory. You're getting a heating pad handcrafted in California by a small woman-owned business that genuinely cares about your comfort and well-being.

Let Whiffy be part of your journey to finding peace and comfort amidst life's busy demands.
