TheraICE PROpack Hot & Cold Therapy Reusable Cold Gel Ice Pack - Extra Large 12x15 - Great for Muscular Back Pain, Shoulder, Hip Knee - Oversized Multipurpose Cold Icepack for Minor Aches & Pains

Absolutely fantastic item for me, and my issues with my neck and back. I broke my spine several years ago, and lost several disks in my back and neck (I had a compression fracture). Since the injury, I also have sciatic issues as well. This Extra Large, comfortable, thick, gel pad covers plenty of area for my big frame. I keep mine in the freezer ready for service. It gets extremely cold and stays effective for at least 20-30 minutes. It might be too intense/cold for some. If you find it too intense coming from the freezer, I’d imagine keeping it in the refrigerator will work just fine too. I recommend trying this several different ways (for neck and/or back area) 1) laying face down and just letting it lay on the sore area. With or without a towel under the pad. 2) laying face up and placing the pad underneath the sore area. With or without a towel under the pad. 3) wearing some type of compression shirt, and sticking the pad underneath the compression shirt. This is all dependent upon your injury or sore area. In any case, I highly recommend this pad. I am a retired athlete and can attest to the importance of icing sore muscles, recovery from workouts, or injury. It’s definitely a high quality item, and a “life-saver” for me.

These are absolutely some of the best ice packs I’ve ever used. I have chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and I overheat really easily. Also, hot flashes. So I’m always looking for something to help my pain, and these are awesome. Compact, easy and quick, no worries about condensation, and they cool down pretty quickly after use. If you need a durable, affordable, large ice pack, especially one that’s 100000% worth the price? Look into these gel ice packs. You won’t regret it.

This is by far one of my favorite ice packs out of the many I have! It's actually extra large, I use it for my shoulders, neck and upper back often with no problem. I love how pliable it is and it stays in place, while staying cold for as long as I need it. I wish it had Velcro straps sometimes, but it's still very much worth the price. I definitely recommend it!

I highly recommend! Versatile soft gel ice pack that gets really cold and stays cold !

XL TheraICE. Holy moly this cooling pad is big and soft! It is easy to use and lays nicely wherever I put it. It says freeze for 2 hours and it seems to stay cool whether I freeze that time or all night. My only gripe is that it doesn't stay cold for a very long time but long enough to "ice" 2 areas. It is a flexible soft squishy material that seems pretty durable. Comes in a Ziploc bag for use in freezer which is a nice touch.
