samply Small Gel Ice Packs for Boo Boos, Cold Packs for Injuries Reusable Pain Relief, Headaches and Toothaches,Eyes, Face, 5 Pack Mini Round Ice Packs with 2 Covers for Cold Compress

Nice size, like the holders for the ice pack

Gel packs stay frozen and work great for that 15-20 minute ice pack need. On the swollen knee, or even just feeling overheated and place one on the neck or wrist. I wish the cover was a soft material instead of the vinyl. I have arthritis and carpal tunnel so I like to put an ice pack in and turn it inside out so the strap holds the ice pack on the back of my hand. I do have to put a paper towel or light cloth in between since the vinyl doesn’t buffer the icey feel. All in all they are decent.

Love these small gel ice packs. I am older, have thin skin and bruise so easily. Hands and lower arms in particular. With the cover and strap, I have found if I bump my hand, and I get one of these on quickly, use the strap to keep it secure, the bruise will either stop in its tracks, or reduce the amount of bruising tremendously. Another bonus is that my grandchildren love them for little boo boos.

These are great I'm so glad I got these great for kids

I purchased these to use on my wrist after surgery and then after carpal tunnel procedure. They worked nicely and are easy to freeze and reuse.

SOME FACTS/DETAILS WITH COMMENTS:These ice packs come in a divided/pocketed plastic sheet, placed inside a zip top bag with Instructions and information printed on the outside. The ice packs are made of polyethylene and blue gel. The gel stays in gel form when frozen and does not freeze solid. Each Ice pack measures a little under 4 inches in diameter. I think the product photo shows 4 inches because it seems like if the plastic was not filled with gel, it may come out to be exactly 4 inches. The “cloth covers” aren’t really cloth, but a smooth, finely textured PVC or vinyl, perhaps. The blue piece of elastic on the back of them measures 1 inch x 4 inches.MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE:After washing my ice packs and placing them in the freezer for a few hours, I took them out and they were all really cold, and flexible to a degree. They did not retain coldness for very long, and came to room temperature in under 20 minutes (without application to my body). I assume that when applying these ice packs to the body, they would warm up much faster. I think the time that they stay cold might vary depending on the temperature of the air around you and how warm you are, as well as how cold your freezer is.I like that two covers are included. I found it to be a bit tricky to get one of the ice packs to fit in the cover. The covers make the ice packs easier to hold, and I like that you can slip it on your arm. I don’t think these will fit people with larger sized arms. People with smaller sized arms may only be able to wear them on the smaller half of the forearm. I find that the elastic is a bit scratchy if I put it too high up on my arm. It may be a better fit for a child. I would just make sure it’s not cutting off circulation. One of my covers had the hole for the ice pack off center a small amount. The other was perfect.FINAL THOUGHTS:These ice packs are small and do not stay cold long, so they’re great if you just want some coldness for a short amount of time, or for a small area. These would probably work best for fresh bruises or a swollen cheek from dental work, or perhaps a sprained finger or toe. Since there are five ice packs, you could rotate them in and out of the freezer if you need the cold for a longer time, but I would just prefer that they stay colder longer. The covers do come in handy.

Love theses

These do not stay cold very long.
