I was wondering if the plastic the folligen tube is made of can be microwaved to warm folligen slightly up before application...

thanks!

We don't order plastic tubes that are designed to go into the microwave. That being said; choosing to microwave with a plastic item not labeled for microwave suitability isn’t necessarily “unsafe,” but you won’t have the assurance of knowing the item was tested and evaluated for this purpose.

Perhaps you could warm it in your hands before applying it. Maybe putting the container under warm water would help.

Hopefully this answers your question.

I warm up many things in the microwave.

But start with no more than 15 seconds of power when you start and then check (carefully) the warmness of the tube.

After a little experimenting, you will find the right warming time.
