Resters Choice Ice Pack for Injuries Reusable - (Standard Large: 11x14.5) for Hip, Shoulder, Knee, Back - Hot & Cold Compress for Swelling, Bruises, Surgery - Heat & Cold Therapy

We have 2 family members who have had recent surgeries. One was given a hip brace with some ice packs that velcro into it (which the ice packs did NOT fit into the brace because when they were frozen, the gel beads SWELLED up so much that they would not fit!) & one was given an ice machine. We ended up having to rotate the two of them between the ice machine, which meant the ice machine was in pretty much constant use all day long between the two of them. We also used ice packs but I was SO frustrated because our ice packs were small, so we had to keep using multiple ones, & they would thaw quickly because they were so small. It was a constant process of me making ice all day & night for the ice machine because buying ice was way too costly at $6 PER DAY between the 2 of them, & having to freeze the small ice packs. I was SO OVER IT ALL, but knew they needed pain & swelling relief, so I scrolled Amazon, read many reviews, & determined which type of ice pack we needed. I knew we needed the fabric covered kind because it is most flexible & conforms to the intended area (surgery, injury, etc) more easily as it softens, as well as being FAR more COMFORTABLE than the hard plastic ice bricks you use in coolers. I also knew I wanted an ice pack with a FINISHED fabric bound EDGE, after reading about some of the ice packs that are heat sealed {?} on the ends coming apart & leaking. I knew we also needed an ice pack that would work on a hip, knee, shoulder, etc. without needing a bunch of different sizes. I read reviews for this ice pack & decided to order it. WOW!!!! It has been a GAME CHANGER!!!! It has worked FABULOUSLY for knees, hips, etc!!! It also fits on my teen between the hip brace, where the included ice packs wont even fit. My teen would go to sleep with this on her hip & sleep all night with it. It would last for several hours. This ice pack has worked SO WELL that I purchased another & am purchasing a 3rd & 4th because we have another surgery coming up, & I want to have one frozen & ready at all times. I am SO thankful to have these ice packs & pain relief at the ready for my family. The gel in the 3 sections has remained EQUAL & there are ZERO issues with the ice pack. We keep them laying FLAT in our freezer & do NOT put anything on top of them. They are FABULOUS!!!!!!! I WOULD purchase this ice pack again!

Great price, stays cold and refreezes quickly. I bought several.

This product arrived on time and securely packed. I used it today for the first time after a hard session on my bike. It worked really well and having been in my freezer overnight, it was COLD and helped my old, battered muscles very much. Despite being in the freezer, it retained its shape and was very easy to use. I have yet to use it as a heating pad but I have a separate and larger hear pad for that purpose. It was also a decent price and I would recommend it to any in need of very effective ice packs.

The ice pack is divided into three sections with gel inside of each section, however, one of the sections has much less gel than the other ones. Still usable, but should be even.

I think this may actually get colder than ice. Comparing the two, ice and this pack, this seems to actually feel colder! I dont think the coldness last as long, but that seems to be pretty typical of these gel pack types. Size is good, if you have a large area to cover ( like your whole back for example) or are a large person, this may could seem smaller than needed, but overall a great pack and would certainly recommend it!

It is a good ice pack, stays cold a long time. You really have to knead it to get flexibility, and even so it only folds well at the two seams. Also the outside frosts up pretty bad. I am happy with the purchase for the price.

Had surgery and needed to ice my hip periodically throughout the day. These are super nice. The bend perfectly to your body that needs icing.

I use this ice pack for sore muscles in my back. My chiropractor recommended I get reusable ice packs for relief when I overdo activities. These freeze fairly fast and is large enough to cover my lower or upper back. It stays frozen long enough for me to do my lower back and then my upper back. I have also ordered these for my friend and she really likes them also. Having two of them means I always have one frozen. This was the best deal. I have not used them for hot packs myself.

This ice pack is slightly smaller than my other one however it is half the cost and gets just as cold. Because it was so much cheaper, I got three of the them and it works great! And they came next day! good thing too because two of us in the house had injuries and were fighting over the one good icepack we had!

It stays colder longer than any of the others I purchased!!
