25 Pack - Instant Cold Packs - Instant Ice Packs for Injuries Disposable Cold Compress Ice Pack for

I was having a lot of pain in the top of my foot. The doctor said it was extensor tendonitis, inflammation of the tendons from the toes across the top of the foot, caused by wearing shoes with no arch support. She gave me two ice packs similar to these to use on my foot. I loved them so decided to buy some. This product is what I chose and I am very pleased with it! They are smaller than the ones I got from the doctor but honestly they fit better on my upper foot as a result. They are very simple to use - follow the instructions, which are basically to fold it in half and press down to pop the packet inside so the chemicals mix and turn very cold. I was afraid the packet might burst if I pushed too hard but I've used several and I haven't even seen the side seams strain so they're pretty durable. After popping and shaking, the ice pack is cold enough to truly chill the injured site. I didn't always wrap the pack in a cloth as it says to, and it wasn't a problem. The pack stays cold for about 15-20 minutes at least, which is the amount of time you are supposed to leave ice on a site in one go. The ice pack treatment definitely helped the pain in my foot and reduced the inflammation. Once the cold is released, the packet is flexible so if your injured site is not flat, it will wrap around it easily. An elastic bandage works well to keep the packet firmly on the desired area. The packet itself did not feel uncomfortable in fit or temperature. I also carried several to my workplace in my purse, which is pretty full, and the packets traveled fine without being discharged. I will be including some of these in my first aid kits in my car, home, and office. And bonus! Because there's no actual ice there's no condensation or leaking from a pinhole as the ice melts, meaning nothing gets wet and messy. Overall, a quality product that works as described. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Pros: I bought guys for keeping in my car first aid kit. I have some long term ankle injuries, and once in awhile I tweak it while out and about. They certainly don't replace the larger freezer ice packs that can wrap around your injury, but they do a good job in a pinch when away from home. I also have had no issue with leaking, however I've kept mine with little dollar tree plastic baggies and a small throw away wash cloth just in case. Stays cold for about twenty minutes, which I find long enough to get home and grab a normal re-usable freezer one, or while I wait after put one in the freezer. Another pro is that it's actually not so cold to the touch that I need a cloth between my skin and the cold pack. Normally I would want very very cold, but it ends up being nice with limited supplies. Cons: I've had a really hard time actually activating the ice pack. The instructions say to fold the pack in half and burst the liquid packet inside however there is so much air in ice pack there's so way that can happen. I've had to locate the internal water packet, situate it in the middle of the outer bag, and strategically punch down on a hard surface to break it. Once you do break it, the cold is instant though. It could also be a con that the packet doesn't get as cold as a reusable freezer pack does depending on your needs. Overall good for an emergency situation but you'd want to get yourself better positioned to care for an injury if you can. Read more

Decent cold pack little smaller than i wanted, but they work good. Bought them for sports injurys for kids football and have not used any yet. I took temp measurements for 20 min in 1 min increments. ambient temp was 78 deg f. Pack was 71deg f before activating. After activation immediately dropped to 52deg f. At 1 min it was 46 deg f. At 2 min it reached its coldest point at 44deg f. At 3 min it stabalized at 45deg f for 5 min. After that temps went up by 1 deg every 2 min till i hit 20 min and stopped the test. At 20 min it was 55deg f. and still feels cold to touch, but was noticeably warmer. Im sure on a summer day it wont stay cold nearly as long, but im confient i will get 10-15min of cold in the summer if have to use them. Read more

Used them for a small procedure I had. They were a little hard to pop but the cooling was instant. Read more

These are literal life's savers for me after I play hockey. They come in a nice box to hold them and I just pull 1 out when I need it. You fold it in half to pop the little bag inside and it gets cold instantly when you shake it. Works great and stays cold for about an hour. After an hour theyre still cool but not quite cold enough for pain relief or swelling. But an hour is still more than enough and having this many is a great bargain. Excellent ice packs. Read more

These are the best cold packs I have ever bought. My daughter competes in Colorguard circuit here in Florida and she and her team mates injure themselves often with the Sabre, rifles and flags. We have some with ankle and neck issues to boot!! These packs are cold all the way thru and they stay cold for a long period of time. I bought 2 orders of 25 to have extra on hand at home and for the guard medical bag for the season. Read more

Great size. However, they are VERY hard to break the inner water pouch to make start the cold process. Read more
