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

The product is sturdy and heats and cools as described.

I love the size of it and the price was reasonable. Fast shipping!

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!

Can use for ice pack in cooler, pain relief hot or cold. Definitely use a towel with it hot because it is molten when heated up. 1 downside is the material can stain easily if the microwave is dirty.

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.

Its not going to do more for pain relief than any other source of cold will (if I need assistance with pain, thats what pain pills of various kinds are for), but sometimes you just need to ice your muscles or tendons down and this works well for that. During spring my achilles tendons were giving me issues, so I threw this thing in the freezer and then after it froze I pulled it out, laid down with a thin sheet over the affected area and laid the ice pack over both of my legs and let the cold do its thing. That helped me with getting my tendon inflammation down so that I could carefully stretch my legs and work them back into no longer having inflamed tendons. Along the way this product did what I needed it to, what it was supposed to, and is a very good ice pack. I wouldnt use it for raw meat at a barbeque for example, but thats what cheap plastic ice packs are for. Wash those in some cleaning product, or rinse them with rubbing alcohol or whatever and theyre back to sanitized. These things are made of durable fabric and have a gel that freezes to a near-solid state, so even while theyre fully frozen they still kind of malleable. If I recall right it also has heating instructions on it, but I havent used it as a heating pad so I cant really say anything other than: I expect it to work for such with a similar level of excellence. Follow the instructions it comes with, and are printed on it, and it will serve you well for its intended uses.

Great ice pack..mutable and holds the cold temperature.

I have been able to heat and cool these with out a problem... I lay them both flat when I do. but just like all frozen things... be careful molding it or moving etc... because things are fragile when cold. but so far so good.

Great for hurting knees

My girlfriend was the one that suggested that I get this product. We both have back and hip pain. It really helps a lot. I would recommend this product to anyone who has this. Thanks
