Customer Reviews

Super pack for icing you back!
I purchased this pack to use for a back injury. It is a wonderful ice pack . . . wide enough to ice the whole lower back. It is great for driving (I use it when I commute to and from work). I shopped around and looked at several comparable ice packs before finding this one. For the price, you can't beat it. Similar packs cost twice as much or more. Although it can be heated, I have not used it as a hot pack -- some of the remarks made by other customers say the cover blisters and tends to wear when used as a heated pack. As a cold pack, it is perfect. I am sure you will be as satisfied with your purchase as I have.

Holds Heat...But Doesn't Hold Up!
These packs are great to microwave and use when heat is needed, especially on your lower back after a long day! They hold the heat a very long time. The drawback is that they tend to blister and burst with repeated use. Even if they are not overheated in the microwave, they do not last very long. It seems like one area will always get very hot and blister the plastic pac, while another area is still cold. I still purchase them, as I have not found a better product, but the plastic bag that holds the heating "goop" could be thicker to prevent blistering.

Great from the Freezer or Microwave
I've purchased 2 of these, one to use as a cold pack and one to use in place of a traditional heating pad. Sometimes the pain can be too severe to bend over and plug in a regular heating pad; and to use as a cold pack, you don't have to stand for a long time placing crushed ice cubes in a regular pack.

They work as advertised and stay hot or cold for a very long time. Be careful when heating in the microwave, though, because if you get it too hot it will take a long time to cool down enough to be safe.

I take away 1 star because straight out of the freezer, the pack is very stiff and lumpy.
