NatraCure Cold Therapy Mittens - Large/XL - (for Sore, Aching Hands, Arthritis, Neuropathy, Chemotherapy, and Hand or Finger Pain)

I recommend not only these cool therapy mittens because they are so comfortable and easy to use but also because Natracure provided me excellent customer service when I ordered the wrong size. I read other reviews that mentioned the ice packs could take up room in the mitten, so I ordered the large, turns out the smaller size fit much better. I like that I don't have to take the packs out of the mittens to freeze, I put the mittens with the ice packs into the freezer all in one, and just slide them on. I use them from having chemo therapy and they cool my palms as expected. When the company says they want you 100% happy, they are serious! Questions answered within 24 hours!

These mitts are pretty awesome, although they are almost too cold when directly out of the freezer. Bought the XL for my husband after he had carpal tunnel surgery. There are 2 ice packs in each mitten. Wearing both at the same time is difficult to take on/off by yourself. There is a Velcro strap to close if you feel the need to. I would almost recommend leaving them outside the freezer for a bit before putting on as they are so cold it is hard to keep them on for long. I do wish they had a bigger size, the XL was a little snug especially with his hands being tender and swollen. Can't go wrong except maybe getting frostbite.

As an old guitar player with tendinitis, I would wake up with very stiff fingers.Now I put these on at the end of the day and a lot less problems with my hands at night.

I use for osteoarthritis pain/swelling. I found the freezer makes them too cold and the gel packs get too hard to use. However I keep them in the fridge (in a ziplock baggie to protect from any smells or spills) and they are perfect for me. 15-20 minutes at a time and the cold lasts. And yes it's quite COLD from the fridge. So much so it surprises me. They are very soft and comfy.Due to the Velcro at the wrist area needing tightened I have to have help if I'm going to use them at the same time.I did go with the large size and although slightly roomy the smaller size would have been too tight.

Very effective and easy to use

This was too heavy.

I got these because I needed heat therapy on my hand after surgery. These don't work well for this as they have hot spots in the thumb area, making it necessary to fold your thumb in to avoid excess heat. As for cold you have to remove the gel pads from the cover to freeze, and they are hard to replace when frozen. If you only need them warm you can microwave for 30 seconds, but then the thick palm and finger pads are slightly warm, if you microwave enough to get the larger pads hot then the thumb pad area is much too hot, burning your thumb. The thumb pad needs to be as thick as the rest to get even heat. I needed the finger and palm area hot so had to fold my thumb into my palm to avoid burning it.

Gloves very nice. Too bulky for me to use. Good for cold weather
