## Abstract

A groin area warming device comprises a sleeve having a first end and a second end, a first confined area between the first end and the second end, and a second confined area at the second end of the sleeve. The first confined area comprises a heat pad and the second confined area comprises a power source. The second confined area folds over a portion of the first confined area on fastening the device to the apparel of the user. The power source is operatively coupled to the head pad to provide power to the head pad. A control switch is operatively coupled to the head pad and the power source to control operation of the device. The control switch is further configured to control the generation of heat at the heat pad or application of heat to at least a portion of the groin area of the user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A warmer device, comprising:
a sleeve having a first end and a second end to position on at least a portion of a groin area of a user;
