Perfect Remedy 2-Pack Gel Ice Packs for Injuries Reusable, Hot & Cold Pack That’s Durable, Soft & Flexible, Fast Relief & Recovery (Blue, Reg 2PK)

These are a nice size for hip pain. The best part is when setting aside after use, they are still icy cold a couple hours later. Highly recommend!

This was just what I was looking for. Works well. Does not leak. I can use it for heating as well not just as a ice pack. Color is pretty bright. Coverage is perfect size. Very versatile. Definitely would recommend this.

I bought some smaller size ice packs and they were too ice packs and they were too small. They didn't cover enough surface and the size didn't hold the coldness long enough. So I bought these and they're exactly what I needed and wanted. I've had a lot of injuries in the past and I use them to ice my low back my foot my neck and my hip and leg. I cover it with something when they're really cold and then when they're about half cold I take off the covering and just put the ice pack directly on my skin it works really well. I'll give you a little tip that I did because I had a lot of foot pain and I didn't have access to ice to do a ice bath on my feet. I put two socks on my left foot and then I shove the ice pack in between the two socks and shaped it around my foot and ankle. It works great. I do it when I'm laying in bed sometimes I fall asleep and I wake up and take it off. Good price for the money and they really work well. Also they're not too bad if you don't end up laying them flat in the freezer and they're strange shape they are still usable and workable or some ice packs freeze too hard and if they're bent then they're not comfortable but these are great.

So, I (stick through the intro) will preface by saying that I have a LOT and I mean a lot of health issues. I won the genetic mutation lottery and have the joy of being riddled with a million to one in amount of painful health disorders and diseases. Instead of kicking up the meds, I try to spare my liver and kidneys a bit with ice- so very much ice- in dealing with pain. Ice bags, gel packs, frozen vegetables, popsicles(those are for me because I’m one helluva trooper). My point is I’m fairly experienced with it.So, here we go:Pros: I loved the intense coldness of these, especially the bigger ones. (Never put these directly on your skin, btw.) It makes alternating heat and cold easier, or if you need a good, safe chill session. Always wrap in something protective. I prefer an adorable tea towel that we do not use for cooking. And by “adorable” I mean mouthy and funny with sailor talk. You pick ones that make you happy; just keep them out of the kitchen.Colder packs like the bigger one may require two towels layered if they are thinner, or even medium thickness. It depends on your personal sensitivity, where in the freezer the pack was when you froze it, and what your needs are at that moment. Sometimes too much ice can aggravate a migraine and you need something thicker around it to tone it down. It can take trial and error to master the art of ice as a pain treatment long term for chronic issues, or even short term, so don’t give up. Just remember if it’s too cold you can remedy that with the type of wrap, how long you have your pack in the freezer, and sometimes where you have it in your freezer(but that can get complicated because I cannot see your freezer so stick with the first two).If it is too hard, simply give it a bit of time. I know this is a big complaint with these, so I recommend either freezing them for less time(this depends on your specific freezer so you will have to figure it out since I do not live with you which is a bummer because I am both helpful and hilarious) or letting them sit out for about five to ten minutes(or more), uncovered, until they become workable.These are a bit of a trade off- you are getting a colder product with less flexibility. The other ones with more flexibility do not get as cold. While you do want to be very careful with applying ice on injuries, those of us with issues like chronic migraine who need something that lasts through the night/half day require an item like this. I double wrap it so it is suitable but not harmful for hours, then remove the thicker, outer wrap and use it for a few more hours. It keeps it at a light chill and is perfect when nothing else is working. Not too cold, but it lasts.So, to summarize, if you have chronic, pain needs that are in addition to short term, these are perfect. They just require a bit of trial and error and a bit of playing around with.Cons: They do last a long time but eventually will bust leaks. I work them hard and put them away wet, so keep that in mind, but like with most blue gel packs, there will be leaks that will stain your awesome tea towels and possibly clothing or more at some point.The edges are hard and there is no escaping that. It’s one of the reasons I use the tea towel buffer.They are not pliable when frozen. They freeze solid, which as I said may or may not be something you are looking for or willing to work with.If you are a frequent user of these guys make sure you wash them regularly or they can pick up a funk. That’s just a fun little bonus tip for all ice packs, gel or otherwise. Maybe a little vinegar and dish soap in a cozy little bath.Personally, I love these things. LOVE. Out of my almost dozen of various ice packs, they are my most used and definite favorite for versatility and duration alone. The few nit pick issues are not a problem IMO and they are very worth it if you have severe chronic pain that requires life long chill therapy(I alternate with a hot water bottle and heating pad to preserve the life of the ice pack). So highly recommended as long as you be patient and figure out how to use it properly.

This is easily one of the best purchases I have ever made. I was so happy that I had this ready to use as soon as I got home from getting my wisdom teeth taken out. It was my best friend for the first week. I loved that it came with 4 packs so I could freeze two of them while I was using the other two so they were always ready to go when I needed them. I also loved that I was able to still use them when it was time to switch to hot compress. You heat them up for a few seconds and they were ready to. I would recommend to test them out once you have heated them up some before heating them up more even if it doesn’t feel super hot to touch out side of the pouch. I noticed that they still were very warm once inside the pouch and secured to my cheeks. Overall the wrap itself was super comfortable and soft. I liked this wrap way better than the one I was sent home with from the doctors.

Best ice packs! Perfect for backs, hips especially after surgery.

Life saver after I had my wisdom teeth out. It comes with 4 ice packs so we would just keep alternating them (2 in the freezer and two in the face wrap). It fits well and adjustable with Velcro, the fabric is soft and a good quality.

AMAZING! So comfortable. I am so glad I invested in one of these before my wisdom tooth removal. I have a large head so I was worried about the size but it works well. I have extra room if I want it and it is adjustable.The only note I have is that if you are doing 30min on, 30min off like me, you might want to buy an extra set of ice packs. It comes with 4 ice packs but they do take about an hour to get to freezing. I just got some cheap small ice packs that I use while I am waiting on the other ice packs to get back down to temp.
