Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sports man This product is great for back or hip problems. Convenient to be able to Velcro it on and then you can walk around with it

Rated 4 out of 5Â by supply guru Good for post surgical
This is an ok ice pack not as good as others I've used due to the bubbles being large and making it hard to conform to the body. Ok for large flat areas.

I purchased this 4 treating torn ligaments and broken bones in my leg. I'm not sure if the trials were done on humans as i have never seen humans with body parts that are completely flat and straight. The ice pack is incredibly uncomfortable. The picture shows it wrapped around a ladies knee. Which I don't c being possible based on the product design. It has little to no flexibility and is basically like wrapping a strip of plexi glass around my knee. It does stay cold for at least 8 hours. Which sadly i think is attributed to the poor design. So little of the product actually comes into contact with your body that it helps the ice pack stay cold for longer. If they could design the product so itd be more flexible and less like laying cold rocks on or under injured body parts I think it would be great. The product as it is is overpriced poorly designed impractical and terribly uncomfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aching Back Sam! Worked great for me
I was surprised at the negatives I just read. I had purchased a medium which I use on my back at the office. It is very comfortable to slip behind my back in an office chair even though the medium is not designated for back use. If it is wrapped in a thick towel in between uses, it will stay cold. I traveled in the car for 12 hours and used it every hour or so and by end of trip it was not cold, but cool enough to still provide some relief for back pain. I subsequently bought the back size (12 x 12) for home use. I have not had problems with leakage. I have used it in a recliner chair, lying on it in bed, and using the velco strap while fixing dinner. The velco straps could be bigger. I wear a size 6-8 pant size and anyone bigger could not fasten the velcro without discomfort.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by BPS Good piece of garbage
Overall it works really well. The little blue balls stay cold for hours. Yeah, it freezes hard if your freezer gets cold enough. Just let it lay on the sink for a few minutes. My BIG complaint is that the [*](will that pass censor?) thing leaks after awhile and the fluid in the bag oozes out all over you, your clothes, the bedding or anything else that your in contact with. I'm particularly infuriated that I bought 2 of them a few months ago and last night they BOTH leaked out on me. That's a total of 4 bags [$]. I can't see how I'm abusing them.I, very cautiously, with qualification and reserve, recommend them

I have terrible swelling and pain in my lower back after three spine surgeries. This has been wonderful in reducing the swelling and pain. I can apply it to the exact area that is affected and relief is very fast.
