Lumex English Style Ice Caps - Reusable Ice Bags, Relief Ice Packs, 6" Wide, HT9007

The English Style Ice Caps, reusable ice bags, have been a real lifesaver during pain and swelling episodes. Their traditional design and build are charming, reminiscent of a bygone era. The durability of the bag and the quality of the materials ensure they withstand freezing temperatures without leaking. The size is just right for localized cold therapy. However, I found the closure a bit tricky to seal securely at times. Nevertheless, they are a practical and eco-friendly alternative to disposable ice packs. They've become a staple in my first-aid kit, providing relief from injuries and helping me recover more comfortably.

These are great ice caps - the small six inch size is perfect for migraines, chronic headaches, or neuralgia. One tip - put your ice in a cup first, then cover the ice with water, and drain the water before adding the ice to the cap itself. This will soften the ice once you add it to the cap. It will make the cap get colder faster. It also gets rid of some of the sharp edges on the ice, which can puncture the inner lining. If you do puncture the lining, the ice caps are cheap enough, so I just keep extra ones on hand.

I only rated one star because I can't give NO STARS.. Ordered on 13th of December with 2 day free shipping from Amazon Prime. They pulled the old "bait and switch"....created a shipping label so it's "SHIPPED" but it's not yet in transit. I can't return it because I don't have it....can't cancel it because it's theoretically already shipped because a shipping label has been created. This was a stocking stuffer gift for my 75 year old Mom who uses an icepack every morning on her neck. Amazon....how do I get in touch with you when it's too late to cancel but too early to return? I have absolutely no info on when, if, when this

I find this size perfect for my medium-sized-woman knees and shoulders. It covers just the area I want without overlap, and when full of ice is still light enough to easily secure with an ACE wrap.

It holds ice or water. Does what it is intended to do. No problems with leakage. I've used it with ice and I have also filled it with water, set it on a plate and stuck it in the freezer so I end up with a large flat ice pack.

This thing would not be 6 inches in diameter if you stretched it on a rack for a week. And once you put ice in it is about the diameter of a doughnut. Maybe English measurements are different ;-). It is mislabeled; get a larger one. On the plus side, it does get cold enough and is not leaking or condensing all over the place. We shall see whether it stands the test of time.

Great size for on my knee for the 20 minutes recommended icing time. Very good price & free shipping. Worked like a champ as I traveled around by car. Easy fill up and empty. Just what I was looking for.

I doesn’t leak!
