Durability

Pros:

  • "Very sturdily made so it should last a very long time."
  • "They are well made and while flexible, their fabric is sturdy."
  • "Nice and sturdy. They can be washed and used over and over."

Cons:

  • "A product that breaks this easily or leaks fluid should be removed from amazon."
  • "I managed to put pinhole in two within just a few uses. These are not keepers."
  • "However, it's now started leaking after a few months of light use."

Temperature Retention

Pros:

  • "The best part is they stay cold for a solid 30 min and more."
  • "The cold retains for a long time. I remove after 45 min & it's still as cold."
  • "It stays cold for a good amount of time and folds up nicely to fit in the freezer."
  • "Stays cold for 2+ hours."
  • "Stays cold for a long time and is huge, covers mostly my whole back."

Cons:

  • "I've had this for a long time now. It has never stayed cool for longer than about 5 minutes."
  • "It is thin, so the 'cooling agent' inside warms quickly."

Size and Fit

Pros:

  • "Very large…bigger than I expected. Used following a hysterectomy and they covered my whole stomach!!"
  • "It’s just the right size."
  • "The pack is large and covers my entire lumbar region to soothe the radiating inflammation."
  • "Large enough to ice from mid back to mid ass."

Cons:

  • "It's doesn't wrap well because it freezes so hard & its heavy."
  • "The fabric is somewhat low-friction, which makes it difficult to just put on and leave--it wants very badly to slip off and be on the floor."
  • "The size I ordered (5 x 10) isn't long enough to wrap around my ankle."

Convenience

Pros:

  • "I love that it refreezes quickly and that it's so versatile in addressing nearly any body part."
  • "You can put them either in the freezer or the microwave."
  • "They fold up easily to fit on the freezer door, and I just keep them there at all times so they are always ready."

Cons:

  • "It’s a bit bulky and uncomfortable to use. Takes up a lot of room in the freezer."
  • "You definitely need room in the freezer for this as it’s a lot larger than most ice packs."
  • "Freezes so hard that you have to take it out of the freezer to let it soften up before you can use it."

Quality and Material

Pros:

  • "The quality is amazing."
  • "These ice packs are great, mostly because of the soft, flexible fabric covering, which is comfortable on my skin."
  • "This ice pack is comfortable on the skin and large enough to cover a hip/thigh."

Cons:

  • "The material is plastic, not a 'fabric' covering, so it sweats, and can make your body or clothes wet."
  • "The outer covering needs to be slightly thicker and softer."
  • "This is probably so cheap because the vinyl is thin and the product is covered in condensation within minutes of removing from the freezer."

Value

Pros:

  • "Great value for the price and usage."
  • "These are great for the price and would buy again."
  • "They are perfectly sized and it is a great purchase."

Cons:

  • "Do not recommend, it’s cheap junk and will hurt you."
  • "Overall, I would not recommend this product."
