As an alternative I am using neither of these, instead I am using a pure cotton batting which is extremely warm and also has antibacterial properties. This is widely available from most haberdashery and fabric stores.
If you do want to warm them before use simply run an iron over the inside or leave near a radiator for a while, but the heat from your own body soon warms them up.
