These work as described. My main situation is that they don’t stay cold enough for long enough (for my personal use). So they have advantages and having the wrap around the joint is helpful. Beyond that it’s depending on what and how you need to use the ice pack.

These ice packs are wonderful! I have tennis elbow, Lyme disease/chronic inflammation. They are very cold so you must wear a thin long sleeve shirt under them or use a thin towel like a flour sack towel under them, otherwise they burn/freeze your skin. I’d say the coldness lasts around 20 minutes, which is the longest you should be using an ice pack at a time anyway. Do they help my inflammation? A small amount. But that isn’t due to lack of quality, it’s just that I have really bad joints. I like that it’s soft and I can also use it on the back of my neck and on my shoulders, or anything else that hurts. I’m very petite, 5 feet 110 pounds, very skinny arms and the size smalls fits perfectly. Also, my son who weighs 215 and is almost 6 feet tall was able to pull one onto his arm, although that would probably stretch them out, so someone of that stature would want a larger size, just pointing out that they do stretch well. No issues with leaking. I keep them in the slider bags they came in when I put them in the freezer, just to keep them clean.

I read all the reviews before I bought. It has no smell and stays cold for required 20 minutes. (I don't have a microwave so can't speak to heat retention). I needed something to travel with and this is light/small enough. Easy to move around in.

I’ve been using this product for over a month after a fall, so have really put it through its paces. It thoroughly distributes the cold around the entire knee so is much more effective than a regular flat ice pack. I’m 5’ 5” and 140 lbs, so purchased a small/medium. It’s snug but not too tight and acts like a compression sleeve as well. The fabric is soft and comfortable too. While it only stays cold for about 15-20 minutes, that’s pretty much all that’s needed. It does re-freeze pretty quickly. Between using this twice a day as well as applying a diclofenac sodium gel, it’s really made a difference. The price is so reasonable I bought two to have in separate parts of the house, which has been very convenient. I’d recommend it to anyone.

Stays on leg over knee even when walking. Great compression and just the right amount of cooling. Ease's pain and swelling.
