I agree with pit, the small ones can give you a nasty burn even through one layer of cloth. I have had great success with the larger ones and even the medical grade ones. With those, I have had them on my skin and not burned, but I would let them heat up for a few minutes before trying that
If you have the larger ones, break them and let it heat up, hold it in your hand and see how hot it is, I then used the forearm test when I am checking temps as my hands are calloused. I would still put them in a towel or sock or something before putting them in the tub.
Never had to try any of this for BPs just my ideas based on using them for emergency heat on people
