TheraPearl Reusable Shin Wraps, Reusable Hot Cold Therapy with Gel Beads, Two Packs for Shin Splints, Best Ice Pack for Runners, Flexible Hot and Cold Compress for Pain Relief & Swelling

OMG, these are awesome. I have problems with my calves knotting up while I run, so I use these every time I get stiffness in them. They work great. My only complaint would be that they don't stay cold a long time, but the size and flexibility needed limits that. I highly recommend these if you get pain in your shins or calves.

A while back I tested a few TheraPearl wraps for the company. They worked out so well I've since purchased about five other TheraPearl products, most recently this shin wrap.One of the biggest problems with cold packs is that they never stay where they should.They are useless if they wind up on the floor or lost in the bedding, and chances are if you need a cold or hot pack, you don't feel like chasing after it.With generously long velcro straps, a TheraPearl stays comfortably on the injured or inflamed area.I bought this one specifically for calf pain. Perfect size, and it would work for your arms as well.Another nice thing about these is that they don't absorb all of those nasty freezer smells.They chill quickly, and can also be used as hot packs.

Recently tore my calf muscle and couldn't find a good icing solution. These work well, they don't stay cold for very long though maybe 10-15 minutes. I think I'm not supposed to ice it more than that at one time anyway but would like a bit more time of out them. Otherwise, they do chill quickly and they are able to get around my calf as swollen as it is. I do like that they give you two since I use one in the front and then the back. This is a good solution for your calf.

The best shin ice pack EVER!!! I apply them directly to the skin. There is never the "cold burn" feel at all. I cannot express enough what a life saver these have been for shin splints. My shin splints actually graduated to a stress fracture of the tibia and these help as well! I wish they stayed colder a little longer. I only get that super cold feel for 10ish mins, but that could be also that I'm getting numb. I'm not totally sure, all I can say, if you have shin pain, get these PERIOD!!!

Bought these after having problems with shin splints and a two month break from running and almost walking. Have to say it has worked pretty great, use them pretty much every day, have them always in the freezer so after each long run or soccer game, or whenever I feel some soreness, I just put them on. Fit is pretty good although the velcro curls up when frozen and it is a bit small on one of the straps but not major problem. Have never tried them warm so I couldnt comment on that feature. Overall I like this product, the only negative aspects of the product, although it advertises to stay cold for 20 minutes it only stays at a cool temperature for 10-15 minutes tops, 15 being a cold day and not after a workout and 10 immediately after workout. My main problem is on my left shin so i usually put one on leave the other on the freezer, and then change it for a 20 minutes of cold. Other thing I have to mention is that the blue beads are starting to dissolve, becoming a blue liquid flowing around the inside of the pack which leads to the final issue, the pack has four main compartments, but all of the compartments are conected so, by simple law of gravity unless you use this product lying down with legs completely horizontal, the beads will start going to the bottom division, and as it warms up this will happen faster, and if the beads are starting to lose their circular shape, then, it becomes kind of annoying. Overall good concept, who doesnt like a good ice pack, but with a few quality and design problems.

The best way to ice my shin splints I've found. Stays cold for a good 20-30 minutes and freezes again in an hour. The straps are sturdy (so far) and I can get up and move a bit with these on as opposed to using a towel and ice packs. Appreciate that it's in a 2 pack, could get good continuous (with a break in between for safety) icing of 1 shin or ice both at once (as I have to).

The Shin wrap is a great concept, and similar to "Peas" which I use for my back. However this particular brand warms up after literally minutes. I kept the wrap in the feezer overnight, and within three minutes on my leg it was warm. I tested it and left it on for 20 minutes, the amount of time recommended universally for ice to be an effective treatment for inflammation, and my shin was near body temperature warm after removing the wrap.I believe this deserves one star because I cannot use the wrap, and have to go back to ice.

I have been an avid runner for many years. As of recent I began experiencing the horrific pain of shin splints. After reading multiple online articles about how nothing can help with shin splints except ice, massaging the tissue, new shoes and ibuprofen. I immediately bought new shoes. I tried massaging first with no luck of healing at one point I was taking ibuprofen before and after my runs. Nothing seemed to stop the pain besides not running. These ice packs provide me INSTANT relief after my runs. No, my shin splints are not gone I am continuing to stretch, massage and take Ibuprofen but the pain is at least manageable knowing instant relief is available. Highly recommend this product to others.
