Penguin Fingers Compression Fingers Arthritis Cryotherapy Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "I really want to like this product. I like the idea of a finger ice pack and it fits very snug."
• "It is easy to put on and take off. Very glad to have it."
• "Definitely enjoy the fact that they roll onto the finger."
• "These work great! They easily roll on to and off of fingers."
• "These ice packs roll over my fingers in a way that provides a gently snug fit while provided deep therapeutic cold."
• "This is easy to use, cold and flexible enough to fit over a fairly swollen finger."
• "These are great gel packs that can fit over your fingers and toes even big toes."

Cons:

• "Made my finger feel better, but just know you won't be able to do anything else with the item in place just because it is larger than expected."
• "The concept of these is great, but because these are so hard when you take them out of the freezer that you can't fit your finger or toe through it."
• "Have to reverse roll them to get them onto finger. Buy and you will see what I mean."
• "The plastic is bunched up, limiting the ability to slide on and off the finger."
• "Nice idea, but two problems: difficult to get on the finger as the opening is too small."
• "Very difficult to get on finger! You have an injured finger and you struggle to get the ice pack on/off."
• "Unfortunately when they arrived I could not separate the inside so I could not slide my finger inside them."

Temperature and Duration

Pros:

• "Great product! I used it for the first time for my arthritic thumb after work and it really reduced the pain and swelling."
• "I keep them in the refrigerator and they are plenty cold enough to cool my finger down quickly."
• "I am using it to help my Trigger Thumb. The instructions say not to use in contact with skin, but I keep mine in the refrigerator rather than freezing it, and that keeps it just the right coldness."
• "This does the trick. Two come in the package and it helps reduce the swelling and numbs the pain."
• "Cold definitely helps reduce the pain."
• "They truly do help with the pain, and I’m glad I have them."
• "This finger cold pack gets very cold. It helps reduce any inflammation in your tissue."

Cons:

• "This sleeve is simultaneously too cold and not cold enough... when you put it on your injured finger, the cold is so intense for about 30 seconds that you almost can't bear it... and then it warms up to be useless."
• "Then, they start out super cold (too cold, actually) but warm up rather quickly."
• "Holy Cold..Use to ice fingers after golf practice. Can only keep on one finger for MAX 3 minutes before frost bite tingling sets in."
• "You cant leave it on your finger for 5 mins like it tells you because your finger gets too cold."
• "DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR FINGERS FOR MORE 5 MINS AT A TIME!!!!... I USED IT FOR JUST 8 MINS AND MY PINKY WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN!"
• "The coldness of the product does not lasts even for 3 mins."
• "It starts off extremely cold but doesn't last that long."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "These worked great but one popped after a week and a half."
• "This tiny ice pack has been super helpful."
• "These work like a charm and do exactly what they are meant for."
• "Finger ice packs are awesome and I love that they surround the finger with cold."
• "This is the best product to get the ice cold all around the finger without freezing your entire hand."
• "Much nicer than straight ice, good compression and 360 application."
• "Great design really impressed."

Cons:

• "Has been great when it arrived. However I soon noticed that it slightly leaks."
• "SO excited when product was first received, immediately put both in freezer then used ONE nearly 2.5hrs later.. exchanged with SECOND ice pack only to discover it is NOT gel-like as it burst a blue watery-fluid.. HIGHLY NOT recommended.. sorry Penguin Fingers"
• "I just got this today and one of them started leaking already so I asked for a refund."
• "Cool idea but it broke after a few uses. There's a hole in the middle seam leaking the blue filler."
• "Membrane surrounding gel is thin and fragile."
• "Mine broke after three days of usage. The plastic is just too thin and not flexible enough."
• "Very frustrating when after just a few uses it starts dripping blue fluid everywhere."
