Koo-Care Large Ice Pack Gel Hot Cold Therapy Pack - Wraps Around Shoulder, Waist & Lower Back, Belly, Thigh, Knee, Shin, Ankle - Great for Injuries, Sprain, Bruise - 13.2" x 5.9"

First off, let me just say I have only used the Koo-Care as a heating therapy for my back. I have a separate large ice pack that I use specifically for my lower back. So this very positive review is for the "heat" function of the pack. A bit of history....I have had back issues and sporatic spasms across various areas of the back for the past 8 years. For the moist heat, I used to use a pack from Champ called the HOT WRAP....less stores carried it, and eventually you could only get it directly from the manufacturer, and then 2 years ago, they stopped selling it altogether. The pack was nice but prone to leaking after numerous uses. When my supply ran out, I started doing some research for a replacement. I saw positive reviews on Amazon and bought the KOO-CARE large pad. Heated in the microwave for about 40-45 seconds, and it works just great. The pack has dependable velcro straps and even comes with an extender strap. I didn't need the extra piece, but the velcro straps keep the pad in place comfortably, and you can move around with the pack located on your back or shoulder. I place it on my tshirt, as you want to avoid putting it directly on your skin. It lasts the right amount of time and the pack is a nice large size with gel pretty evenly distributed. Ok, so I loved the pack so much, I ordered another one. Last week my grand daughter had a sore spot by her shoulder, so I gave her my spare. She said it really felt nice and soothing and her pain was gone after a few days. When I gave her my spare, I went to order another pad, and saw a really good price on Amazon, so I ordered two. I am so happy with the Koo-Care and it gets used multiple times throughout the day. Again, I can't speak for the COOL fuction, but as a mobile moist heating pad, it exceeds my expectations. The price was right, the shipping was fast, and I love this product.

I just purchased this ice pack for my brother with mobility issues. He can flip it to his shoulder and slid it to the right place. It seems strong and sturdy. He hopes to be able to use the strap as well.

I purchased this ice pack to use on my knees or lower back. So far, it has worked great, stays cold for atleast 20 mins, has good quality Velcro and molds right to my knee. If I need to get up or walk while it’s on, it does not slide or restrict any movement. The only downside is that it sweats- not a huge deal because using a paper towel as a barrier between the ice and pack and my skin or clothing has worked fine. Definitely would recommend for someone looking for a strap on ice pack.

My preference is to use them as a cold compress, so I ordered two of them, so if one is being used, there is another one in the freezer to take it's place when I switch them out. They have an amazing waist band, that stretches to fit me and stays there. I always use a small towel to wrap around it so that it's not too cold against my skin. Right now, I've been suffering with a bad case of Shingles, and having these has been a great help to me, especially at night. Thank you for a very good and reliable product.

Makes it easy with directions on the ice pack of how to use hot or cold. Easy to adjust and fit into place right where you need it with strong Velcro on the straps and includes an extension if needed. Stays in the right place to ice my bulging disk while I am at work or out and about. Stays flexible when frozen and retains the cold for a long time.
