Premium Hot Cold Gel Bead Ice Pack by FOMI Care | Cool Compress for Lower Back, Shoulder, Knee, Bicep, Stomach | Coccyx, Sciatica, Tailbone Pain Relief | Flexible, Reusable Heating Pad | (Purple)

I had some post surgical complications that caused me significant pain and cramping in my legs. My sister turned me on to these ice packs and they were a godsend. The material inside the pads gets cold and stays cold, but doesn't freeze and stays pliable. One side is covered in a soft material and the other side is bare plastic. The shape of the pad and the straps would be ideal for lower back pain. I used the pad to cover my sacral area, downward across my buttock and down my affected leg by laying on it. I put one in the freezer to chill while I use the other. I haven't used one for a heating pad yet, but you can heat them in the microwave if you watch how long you heat it and don't overheat it. I found these to be extremely helpful and recommend them for use.

The straps work well, the pack is scented which is nice. After the first use the beads spread out and you have full coverage . Stays cold . Good product

Great product i works give stars of the strap fit around my waste for my back so you'll need to lay down to use on the back. Great for legs and knees

I’ve been using a bag of peas for all my gym-related ailments, the most-recent of which is my ankle. The peas were constantly sliding off. I wanted an ice pack that was flexible & would stay in place. This ice pack fits the bill. Of course, it doesn’t quite mold to the skin as well as a bag of peas, but it’s close enough. I wrapped it around my ankle & it stayed in place. It’s very cold. It stays cold for at least 20 minutes, which is the longest I’ll keep ice on me. The soft side is very nice, but the pack is cold enough that sometimes I still need cloth between my skin & the ice pack.

Woke great Love them

I suffer from migraines and find that heat works best to relax, soothe and relieve my pain, This compress heats in the microwave in as little as 1 minute and provides the relief I need. It is soft and pliable when I place it on my bed pillow and very comfortable when i rest the side of my head against it. I have used the other liquid gel packs which over time seem to "cook out" and become thinner and thinner. This was a bit more expensive, but I think it will pay for itself in the long run. I think I would give it more stars if I could.

I like the items, but it seems it should've came with straps or something to attach the two sides, so you can wrap it and it'll stay in place.

Love it!
