the kind of ice bag I had as a kid

2008-05-09
this is a good old fashioned ice bag!! well made.
the type one finds in pharmacies in the US today are made of plastic and are uncomfortable to the skin.
this one is different!

Excellent coldness & contour

I ordered this on a Sunday afternoon, regular shipping, and it arrived within 48 hours! Awesome! I ordered the biggest one, which I would recommend. I filled it with ice & some water & this thing was freezing cold. I have hip pain, so it was great since it contoured to my leg & made it cold on both sides. No spillage or leakage whatsoever! I always wanted one of these. Looks good for sinus problems & headaches too.

Perfect Little Ice Pack

If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, this is the perfect ice pack for you. It's just the right size to apply to the sore area, and it's cute, too! I gave two to others who have this affliction, and it made a big hit.

Ice with style

For whatever reason, my children believe ice is the cure for any ailment. Bump your toe - ice; get a belly ache - ice; out of breath - ice. And since there were two of them and only one old rubberized ice bag, we had to put ice cubes in zip lock bags to keep them both happy. Now that we have 6 inch ice bags for each of them life is a lot easier.

Yes these English ice caps are a little small, but the 6 inch bag is perfect for a child and the 11 inch bag compares nicely with the large rubber ice bags you find at local drugstores. The patterns are attractive and the caps are tight and secure. Plus unlike ice packs, they conform nicely to a knee, elbow, or head. We've left them upside down for days at a time and so far no leaks.

Not as big as you think

These caps only have a 6" diameter if you lay them out flat. Fill them with ice and water and you would be lucky to cover enough area to ice an elbow. If you plan on doing anything like icing your knees go for at least the 9" pack maybe even the 12". But once they are filled the gasket does a nice job of making sure it doesn't leak.

Great for your SORE back!!!

I bought 2 of these 9" ice bags.. One for the office and one at home. THEY ARE GREAT!!! Every time my lower back feels sore and tight, I pop some ice into the bag and it goes straight on my back... In less than a minute the bag is cold and the tension deep in my back is relieved. This works so much better than those reusable freezer bags because 1) they don't get as cold as these bags and 2) it takes time for them to get cold in the first place. I guess they have their own purpose though.... VERY SATISFIED!!!!

The screw on lids are nice and solid.. no leaks once the ice has melted. Also getting the ice into the bag itself is a snap...
