Equate Therapy Combo Packs, 2 Count

Excellent product to have especially for a family of four. This came in handy when anyone falls and needs an ice on it. Can't beat the price for the quality.

I only have used this set frozen, so my review is for the 'cold' aspect. They also include directions for using as a warm compress, too, which makes them quite versatile. I get cellulitis following surgery; elevating, icing and disuse are my first rebuffs for this condition, so I purchased this set to supplement a drug store brand I already had, assuring there would always be one in the freezer. These come w/ light fleece covers for each size (see box for exact sizes, but one abt 5"×9", another maybe 9"×13") with hook and loop closures on wide elasticized, adjustable bands. An additional band is included for add'l placement options. They don't freeze solid, but that makes it easy to shape to the area needing relief, and last more than 30 min. I remove gel packs from the covers (I really dislike 'freezer' smell on plastics) and place in labeled (so I know which cover to use)heavy-duty freezer bags before placing in the freezer. Comparing w/ the drugstore brand: Walmart: - 2 sizes for abt $6 more - freeze to a pliable consistency - covers are thin,inexpensive fleece Drugstore: - about the size of the smaller Walmart gel pack - nice neoprene-type cover is more protective of skin with better construction. - freezes as hard as ice; uncomfortable until sl melted for forehead or other convex areas. - more expensive Overall, I like these heat/ cold packs for their versatility, flexibility, cost and included covers.

I thought I had just ordered one

nice and easy. comes with a cover, it's a gel so real easy to use on shoulder and elbow.

I use these most nights to comfort sore joints and/or for warmth on cold nights. After awhile, they get brittle and develop pin holes that allow the gel to leak, so need replacing. They hold the heat very well and are more comfortable to use than any others I have found over the years.

The strap is a little too short to hold across the chest for a shoulder injury on an adult. Maybe on a child, not that it matters, the velcro simply doesn't work at all.

I had a previous equate therapy pack that consisted of a microwavable gel encased in a rubberized fabric that I have been using for a few years. It is now leaking, so I ordered what I thought would be a similar product. What I received were two gel packs covered in thin plastic, and two very thin, cheap looking cloth covers. The gel packs look like the disposable ones that come when you order items that need to be kept cold during shipping. These do not look durable and I will be returning them.

straps are so short, its impossible to use unless around ankle or knee?? i purchased for shoulder as they demonstrate. it wiykdnt have fit on toddler

This item never was delivered. Many items were charged and not delivered. This was one of many items. Please refund.

It started leaking in just few uses.
