ComfiLifeKnee Ice Pack with Wrap – Knee Brace – Reusable Hot & Cold Therapy Gel Pack – Adjustable Compression Support for Injuries, Knee Pain, Knee Surgery, Arthritis, Meniscus and More

This ice pack is amazing! I’ve had multiple shoulder surgeries and previously used the cold water pack and ice bucket the doctors say to purchase every time. Filling the bucket with ice, wrapping yourself in that Velcro madness of an ice pack contraption, and then hooking the bucket to the ice pack is a royal pain in the butt. Especially if you have to do it yourself, one handed. To make matters worse, the water pack doesn’t get below 32 F (0 C), and it warms up in about 10-15 minutes. My most recent surgeon told me to avoid that and just purchase ice packs (He’s also one of the nation’s top surgeons and is fixing what other doctor’s missed on my previous surgeries). This ice pack is foldable, and fits easily in your freezer. It takes a few hours to get cold initially, but that’s a given for any ice pack. When it’s time to ice, it still remains flexible while remaining extremely cold, and slips easily into the provided fabric sleeve which protects your skin and the furniture you sit on. The instructions say to cover your skin with a towel, but I apply it directly. The ice pack can be manipulated fairly well and I’m able to conform it to contact 90% of the skin on my shoulder. The sleeve has Velcro straps for a more secure fit, but I don’t even bother with that, as the ice pack is large enough cover my entire shoulder (front and back) and conforms to it easily. I simply sit on the couch with my back against the cushion, or prop myself lying down and it stays in place the entire time. Even after 30 minutes of icing the ice pack is still cold, and I don’t have to worry about dripping water or anything leaking. This is an amazing product, especially for the price! It’s a must have for any athlete, person who just had surgery, or someone who works out. If you’re having surgery and your doctor tells you to buy the “Cold therapy machine” aka ice bucket, PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT INSTEAD AND DO NOT BUY THAT EVIL CONTRAPTION (even if your doctor insists)!

This is the second icepack/brace for my knee. I love these because you can either place it on top or attach it around the knee. Does a great job!

This is for use of it for ICING lower back pain: first of all the review who said the model wearing it wrong bse it's not to be used on the skin is wrong. The thick mesh is plenty protection for it not to burn your skin - use on skin if you want a "ice pack" it's still not cold enough for me UNLESS you put both ice badders that it comes w into the mesh pocket - doing that that = more pressure on your back = colder. It has plenty of elastic stretch to fit my 46" waist & then some. I like my ice packs very cold hence the word "Ice" Pack- it seems lots of reviewers are satisfied with a "cold" pack: - wearing it walking around? -yes but it slips down so I used my generic back brace to hold it in place. Perfect! Do these modifications & you'll get the icepack you are looking for. This "put in freezer for 30 min then stays cold for 2 hrs" is ridiculous- they must be getting comped. I've several icepacks & all need to be in freezer for 2.5 hrs to maintain a 30 min ice-like cold. I hope I answered some questions.

I ordered this for my husband who has inflammation in his upper arm and thigh following a fall. His doctor recommended treating with a heating pad three times a day. Our traditional heating pad worked okay for the thigh but wouldn't stay in place on his upper arm without holding it the whole time. We saw a few online that were more fitted for the shoulder and were in the $40 price range because they were electric. That was another problem too, since the cord always got in the way and kept him stationary near an outlet.What we liked about this was that it was NOT electric but has a gel pad that can be heated in the microwave for heat OR cooled in the fridge or freezer if that was needed. It offered two treatment methods in one and was less than half the price of the electric ones. The Velcro strips that old it in place give the rectangular pad more options for use on different parts of the body and for different sized people. The only criticism is that the Velcro strip for wrapping around the body (as pictured) might be too short for a comfortable fit around a large person. My husband is 5'6" and 160 pounds, and if the strip were any shorter, it would probably be too tight on him. He has only used this for heat so far, but the gel pack holds the heat for the full 15 minutes that he is to use each time, so he is pleased with this. I think it is a great alternative to electric heating pads.

My husband is in construction so he's always sore. Bought this for him and works great! Comes with a pouch so the ice pack isn't sitting directly on your skin. The strap is great so you can put it anywhere and the ice pack is flexible so you can still move around. So far, no leaks and stays cold.

I purchased this brace for my left knee which has a combo of bursitis & arthritis. It swells after too much activity. Their ice pack is thin & melts quickly. I'm using my own hot/cold ice pack, which fits into the pocket on the inside of the brace.I can't get it to stay in place simply walking; so it's useless for mowing or any other physical activity.I use it at the end of my day while relaxing in the recliner.

It was all I needed to ice my rotator cuff repair and stop the pain. Thought about buying an ice machine but this worked as well and saved a lot of money. The strap makes it easy to position the ice pad right over the shoulder pain areas. I used two extra pads so one was always ready from the freezer.

I love them.
