ThermiPaq Therapeutic Hot & Cold Pad

Good product

excelente

I cannot live comfortably without these. I have three and I'm keeping my eye out for a price drop to pick up another one. I keep one in the freezer at all times and one ready to be heated in the microwave. They can absolutely be used interchangeably as a hot/cold pack, but I prefer to designate them for one or the other. Years ago I somehow contorted my neck on a flight to visit a friend and was offered this to give me some pain relief. I was so happy to find the exact same one on Amazon. This has some weight to it because it's clay so be aware of that if the heaviness would be a concern for you to lift or bear the weight of on an ankle or wrist. I love that the added weight helps it stay put and conform to the area I place it on, but it might not work for you. The included pouch and velcro wrap came in handy when I hurt my ankle and it does give a nice barrier if it's initially too cold. I've used mine for years and I've never had an issue, they're very durable and I love the hot/cold option over traditional ice packs and heating pads.

Very compact and nice product.

I absolutely love this little pack. The clay really holds the temperature well for heat (which is what i use it for) and the sleeve is the perfect thickness to not allow it to burn but also not shield too much of the heat. I have used it for ice a handful of times and it does a decent job, but I find it loses that really icy feel pretty quickly especially If your body is really warm (I can run pretty hot). I feel it wouldn't be sufficient to ice injuries and keep the desired temp for the full 15 to 30 minutes you would want to ice something. It's still wonderful if you just want a nice cool down though! The plastic or vinyl material (sorry I'm not exactly sure which it is) encasing the clay is very thick and durable. I also like that it has almost half inch excess around the edge... you can grab it out of the microwave without burning your fingers. The directions are written on the encasement so you don't have to worry about forgetting them or losing the paper instructions. And the elastic band that's on it... ITS VELCRO AND DETACHABLE at one end so you can wrap the pack around a limb and then wrap the band around to hold it in place. The previous one I had... literally never knew that the entire time 🤣 It's a nice feature to have though. All in all I think this is an amazing product and well worth the money EVEN If it were just a heat pack. Just beware if you want it for an ice pack specifically for injuries... it may not be your go to. Still giving it 5 stars because it's truly an awesome little pack.
