: To be honest with you, if you use corn, they might explode when they are microwaved, to warm them. (Know this from experience.) Use raw white rice instead....fill until it is 80% full, with a little bit of jiggle room.
: Good luck.

: : Could use some help.... I am wanting to make pain pillows, out of corn... but I am not for sure how much of the corn do I add to the pillow..should the corn be placed in loosely or packed in tightly?
: : Thanks...!!!!
the rice can be heated or if needed tossed into the freezer to be used as an ice pack. If needed in a hurry, best ice pack is a cheap bag of peas that you keep in the freezer to be used just for that purpose. A surgeon recommended it to me!
