kwmobile Hot/Cold Gel Compress Wrap - Reusable Ice and Heat Pack Wrap for Back Knee Ankle Elbow Wrist and More - Black

First time I have used these today and I'm initially impressed. So much better then applying ice regularly, post surgery. I purchased 2 so I can apply one whilst the other freezes and vice versa. Very affordable compared to other similar options.Pros - freezes quickly but stays soft and pliable. Moulds to shape where placed. Really cold when first comes out of freezer, used on top of my clothes. Velcro holds it in place - massive plus. I haven't tried to move around with it on.Cons- doesn't stay cold continuously (not that I would expect it to). Haven't timed but I'd say stayed for no more then 20 minutes after being in the freezer for a couple of hours. It is the perfect size for my needs but there is probably around a 5cm gap of no coverage from the cooling pad part on my leg/knee. And I'm a size 8 to 10, but my leg is still swollen.Would recommend as a must have post surgery, if advised to apply regular cold compresses. Haven't tried them on anywhere else then knee/leg area.

Hard to use on your own. Needed for my elbow but not able to put it on properly by myself. Not a good buy.

These are really good and with a little bit of playing around with the velcro you can wrap elbows, knees, wrist, back, thighs, just about any where. Heating them can be a bit tricky, you have to squeeze an even amount of gel into each section and squeeze the section every 30seconds or so while heating but it works.

I have only microwaved the pack in 30 second increments, but in my 800w oven, it still developed hot spots which melted the plastic in places. You need to lower the wattage/use a defrost setting if you will be microwaving this to heat it up.

Good product, velcro strap is very useful.

I ordered for my wrist but the Velcro fastening straps do not appear to accommodate fastening for that size and I consequently had to adapt!

Workd well and adapts to knee or limb size . Not that easy to heat in microwave as it is too long to fit lying down and standing up its not stable. persevere and its worth it.

Was very useful, especially when my arthritis is bad in my hip.
