Hot and Cold Gel Bead Ice Pack (2-Pack) by FOMI Care | Lavender Scented | Reusable Cold Wrap, Cold Compress & Heating Pad | Freezable, Microwavable | Fabric Backing (7.5” x 4.5”)

I often read reviews before I purchase something and that affects my decision, like most of you. I wanted to point out that if there are negative reviews on this... it must have been a fluke. If it exploded and the beads ended up everywhere, you probably put it in the microwave for too long, and there are clear instructions on the box. The smell is amazing and very relaxing. The quality is very well made. I’ve had these before in other brands and the bad quality ones do bubble up in microwave and if you follow the time directions, it won’t do that. It stays hot for at least a good 15 mins which is how long you should apply the heat anyway. I also put it in freezer to try the cold pack and after freezing it for about 3 hours, it wasn't a fully solid block of ice, it was still bendable and just what you look for in a cold pack to conform to the shape of your body part that’s in pain. I don’t understand why anyone would give this a negative review. These are amazing and I would highly recommend for both hot and cold packs.

These packs are great! They are so easy to be either hot or cold. I have mostly used them as a warm pack. They are so warm and comforting. The lavender scent is very gentle and not overwhelming. The cloth backing is soft to the touch and has an elastic strap to help it stay in place over an arm. A friend of mine had one at work and I instantly fell in love with it and immediately bought a set for myself. Do be careful and understand that they can get very hot, burns could occur if you do not use them properly. There are many good instructions on the box.

Haven’t had it long but I will say first impression is awesome. Love the lavender smell, it’s a subtle nice pleasant smell not harsh or overpowering. I’ve used it as both as a cold compress and a warm compress. It stays both cold and warm very long. It has a soft backing with a band along the width. This makes it easier to use. The coloring is awesome and adds to the overall amazing ness. I wish I came as a bigger size and a smaller size. The reason is as a cold compress I use it if my little ones get a boo boo in that case smaller would be great. I use it on my back as a warm compress so it would be great if it was bigger. Don’t get me wrong I do like this size I just like a variety. Only time will tell if this will last and I will update to say how it held up.

I purchased these for my 11 year old son who has experienced horrible migraines since he was 5 years old. He has become somewhat of an ice pack aficionado and knows what he needs when he has one of his knock-down, debilitating migraines. He recently informed me that we needed new icepacks, well the ones he likes anyway. "The orbeez kind are the best," he says. What the heck are orbeez? I asked. He had me do a search on Amazon for "orbeez ice packs." The search resulted in these FOMI ice packs, as well as several other ice packs with the little beads inside. We've had these types of ice packs in the past, I just didn't know the kids call them orbeez. My son immediately liked that the FOMI's looked so soft with the felt backing and the hand strap. That type of reasoning was good enough for me, and I liked the idea of him holding it to his head on his own. Below is our review of the ice packs: - They come two in a pack. Each is 5" x 7.5". They are a little small, but will work fine for said migraine sufferer's forehead. - They have a strong odor of lavender when they first come out of the box. My son did not like that, but after they are out for a while and after being frozen, the scent isn't so bad and actually has a soothing scent. - The beads are blue, purple and white. They swim in a clear liquid behind a clear plastic cover. - It takes about 3 hours to freeze them. I froze them overnight and pulled them out to find that they have ice in between the beads. Maybe that clear liquid it water? Anyway, you have to knead the icepack to make it more pliable. You can hear the ice crunch as you bend the ice packs. I attached a video. - My son said, "These are way too cold to put on my head." He's right, freezer burn is bad and I certainly don't want the ice pack, being that frozen, on his bare skin. He tends to fall asleep due to the pain of his migraines, and I don't want a frozen icepack sitting unattended on his head. I put the ice pack in the microwave for about 30 seconds and that did the trick. The ice pack was cold without being freezing cold. I attached a picture of a frozen ice pack and the other that I put in the microwave for 30 seconds. You can see the difference. - I did use a frozen icepack on my knee, with my leggings as a barrier. I had to knead it a bit and mold it around my knee, but it worked great for about 15 minutes before it lost its effect. - My favorite part is the lavender color felt backing with the elastic strap. It is soft and will be easy for my son to hold it against his head without freezing his hand. - Overall these are great icepacks and will do the job to help combat migraines and other aches and pains that come up.

I don't think there's anything about these that I did not like. I like the ease of use, I like the fragrance and the fact that they very much match the description that was on the website that caused me to buy them in the first place. I actually bought a set of them intending to give one to a friend and keep one for myself but I'm thinking I'm going to keep them both and recommend them to this friend and if he wants to buy a set, he can get them himself. ☺️ I showed them to my home health therapist from the hospital that came to take care of me in the weeks following my surgery and she was very impressed and wanted to know where I got them so that she can recommend them to her other clients.

I have chronic back pain. I use these literally constantly. If I apply anything from CBD oil too any kind of an analgesic that works better with “moist heat” to my back. These will drive in whatever anti-inflammatory is in the ointment thru the skin to the problem. It’s moist heat not dry heat so it penetrates better! I also think the size is perfect… I’ve tried much larger ones thinking they would cover a larger area but it is almost impossible to get them uniformly heated in a microwave. These heat in just a few seconds in the microwave and you put it right on that one spot that really hurts. I have chronic pain but I’m limited in the medication’s I can take. These literally make my life a better quality! I have recommended them over and over to friends and have even given them away as gifts!

Daughter Loves it

I bought this for my daughters for cold therapy, the textures, fidgeting etc. One of the two broke at the seam already and they've only used it once

Used this product to warm up my hand muscles prior to physio-exercises (fractured wrist). Worked extremely well. Easy to use and the heat reduced slowly. Highly recommended.

Je les ai immédiatement adoptés pour mettre sur mon visage lors de forts maux de tête. Ils sont au congélateur. Le côté doux est très agréable et lorsqu’il commence à dégeler le fait qu’ils soient composés de billes épouse la forme de la zone ciblée. Au déballage ils sentent un petit parfum de lavande très agréable, j’imagine que l’odeur ne restera pas. Je n’ai pas essayé de les faire chauffer.

Bought these primarily for my son who had his wisdom teeth out. They are frozen but you don’t have to wrap them in a towel. Smooth and nice against the skin without the pain of freezing. The smell is subtly and pleasant. Contoured to his jaw perfectly. Now that he is healed, I use them for my migraines! Two uses! I am sure we will use these for many more.

J'apprécie beaucoup cet article usuel, pratique & efficace. Ayant des problèmes de retour veineux ma Pharmacienne m'a conseillé d'apposer du froid. Je mets les poches au frigidaire afin qu'elles ne soient pas glacées (plutôt qu'au congélateur) et ensuite les installe sur mes chevilles et hauts de pied. Très pratique avec la bande élastique et efficace. BON ACHAT à recommander.

Great product helped so much with my bad knee was able to mould under knee brace , very handy strap enabling to hold in place great product thank you 🦋
