Magic Gel Hip Ice Pack Wrap - Reusable Cold Pack for Hip Bursitis, Hip Replacement Surgery and Hip Flexor Pain. Hip ice wrap for Inflammation, Swelling and Hip Pain Relief

Purchased to use immediately following hip replacement surgery. Hospital provided a pair of ice pads but they weren't adequate for covering the swollen area. The MAGIC GEL HIP ICE PACK WRAP AFTER SURGERY is large enough to cover and and reduce swelling. Because the swollen area was longer than it was wide, I removed the straps and placed the MAGIC GEL HIP ICE PACK along the side of my hip and upper thigh. It might have been important to use the straps if I was icing while walking; but I only applied the HIP ICE PACK during intervals of rest. It gets cold quickly when laid flat in the freezer. I used a frozen pizza box for stability. The GEL HIP ICE PACK stayed ice cold far longer than intermittent ice therapy required. I used it every couple of hours, but the ICE PACK was frozen and ready to use within an hour in the freezer. The cover is water resistant and easy to wipe off with a damp or wet sponge (reserved for the use). The bright purple fabric and fuschia trim made it seem more fun than therapeutic, though ice therapy after hip replacement is essential for managing discomfort and swelling. Highly recommend the MAGIC GEL HIP ICE PACK WRAP AFTER SURGERY. Haven't tried it yet but I am certain it's just the right size and shape for soothing my next bachache.

After sitting in the freezer for a few days, this was not at all pliable and difficult to put on. It needs to soften or it can be uncomfortable. I fractured my hip and the other ice packs and frozen peas just were not convenient like this. I wrap a kitchen towel over both sides to absorb the drips it creates. The kitchen towels are the perfect size. Make sure the fold faces down or this will drip on your upholstered seating. Ice pack stays cold a very long time and was still frozen after over 30 minutes. I love that I have mobility while using this. I plan to use it on my back next. It is, however, the perfect ice pack for a sore hip. There is ample length on the strap for comfortable adjustment. I also like the fact I don't have to constantly fill a bag with crushed ice over and over again. This ice pack can be frozen again for about an hour and is ready to use right away after initial use. It only needs to sit out after a day or so in the freezer to soften. This is so convenient that I believe I will find many other uses.

The ice pad is pretty good. No big issues. But the buckles that you pull the straps through don't stay in a good position. They quickly get twisted off center. The ice pad still works, but the buckle design is annoying.

One of the better ice packs I've purchased. The straps are strong and well-attached. The cover material is durable, and the inside freezy stuff is thick enough to stay frozen a couple hours or more. Make sure you wrap it in a towel, partly to trap condensation, party to protect your skin from too much cold action. I see others saying its stiff when first out of the freezer. I have a dedication freezer that gets extra-cold, but I have not experienced any issues about flexibility. Also, I like the asymmetry of the straps, so one can go around my waist while the other goes around my thigh if I want to focus on just one hip. HOT TIP: For use on your whole back, make sure the long strap is sticking out after you wrap in a towel. Now, take that long strap and go AROUND THE BACK of your chair, and attach it with the Velcro again. This keeps everything in place even if you fidget in your chair. Plus, you can get up and down without the ice pack sliding around.

This has been a life saver for hip pain due to inflammation. I love it. Easy to put on and fits great.

Concept is great but gets too cold and leaves clothes, bed wet from condensation. Agree with others that you have to let it thaw 30 minutes before it’s usable.

After having a hip replacement, I didn't want to be stuck sitting in one place to be able to ice it. I found this ice pack online and purchased it, and am happy that I did. I was able to ice my hip, while still being able to walk around and do what I wanted. It stays cold for a long time. I highly recommend for any one that has had a hip replacement!

I've been having pain from a degenerated hip joint lately, and hoped this Ice Pack would help with the problem. It has! It fits snugly against the joint, held in place by two velcro straps (around my leg and waist), exactly as shown in the product photo. Gets (and stays) plenty cold. Highly recommended.

Funciona bien

Ottima come borsa ghiaccio

Excellent fit and stays in place. I definitely recommend for hip bursitis.

Extrêmement satisfaite de ce produit utilisé pour la convalescence d’u e prothèse totale de hanche. Je recommande totalement !

Covers most of the painful area but lower strap would cut off all blood circulation if attached around my large thigh so I added an elastic band to lengthen it. Top band is great
