ICEWRAPS Reusable Hot & Cold Gel Packs for Pain Relief - 5 Pack with Cloth Backing for Injuries, Surgery, Toothache (5 Pack)

Good fit for face, eyes. Easy to handle. Refreeze quickly. Good that one side is soft on skin.

For what these are I absolutely rate these as 5 Stars. I've had two very serious injuries that have left me with lots of pain. However, what I use them most for has nothing to do with pain, unless I have a headache. I have congestion problems at night ... and I also have sleep apnea. If I can get my head open and get my mask on then I'm okay because the rush of air keeps my passage ways open. I'm not sure why!?! However, there are times I cannot breath through my nose and I absolutely will not use decongestants. Having lived in a cold climate for a number of years I learned that when I was congested that usually all I had to do was go outside to clear my head. And, if it's hot I've found that sticking my head in the freezer can sometime help. But that is not always easy ... or convenient. Then I found these little ice packs. All I have to do is put the gel pack between my forehead and my sleep apnea mask... with the fabric side towards my forehead. If the gel pack is frozen I place a paper towel against my skin to protect it. However, I keep some of these in the refrigerator ... so if they are not frozen I can place them directly against my skin. So, these have been very helpful in opening up my congested head and keeping me off of decongestants. .......... The other thing I like them for is to use them in conjunction with a flexible ice pack. Alone, these ice packs do not stay cold very long. But if you freeze them and then place them between your body and a larger ice pack ... right up to the sorest part an injury ... it conforms exactly to the body, even if it is near/around the bone. They stay cold much longer and in my opinion helps the swelling go down faster. They are also nice to place between a bra strap and my shoulder. They can be used in any number of ways ... anywhere you have pain.

My jaw was injured during a dental procedure right before I went on a trip to India. I was told to put a hot compress on my jaw, but all I had was a wash rag to soak hot water in, which was not effective and would only stay hot a few minutes at the most. As soon as I got home, I saw these on Amazon, and ordered them immediately. They are perfect! They are easy to heat up in the microwave, and they stay hot for an extended period of time. I could not find these in India or in stores in the U.S. I enjoy using them and they are helping my jaw to heal.

These have replaced all boo boo ice packs. The soft side is nice. They cool fast, stay cold and stay soft which is key when applying to boo boos in all the places my kids get hurt. Not to mention conforming to small noses for my nose bleed prone kid (still waiting for the grown out of it the doctor promised). Just the right size. Even used for icing s clogged milk duct while breastfeeding. The warming is ok, good to have the option but be careful as can overheat and burst easily. Overall great to have on hand.

These were wonderful for helping with swelling after eye surgery. But now I use them to get rid of puffy eyes. They are the perfect size and sit comfortably in place

I haven't used these as a warm compress yet, so I can't comment on how well they warm up. As for a cold compress, they're great! I keep two in the freeze at all times so I can alternate if needed. They freeze pretty fast (an hour or so) and stay cold for a pretty decent amount of time. Packs do stay flexible when frozen, as stated on the packaging, but you do need to let them thaw a little bit to get them flexible. The bag is also a great value for the amount of packs of you get. I've used this to relieve swelling from a pretty severe sinus infection and to use as an ice pack for migraines.

I’m back to purchase these again. They are great for the occasional bang ups toddlers face. Has a soft side but enough cold gets through to calm the swelling. We have the colorful round dinosaur ones but these are easier on the kids skin, slightly smaller, and don’t pop. The dinosaur ones wear out and inevitably pop.

Great on small areas.
