Ever Ready First Aid Disposable Cold Compress – Instant Ice Pack for Injuries, Swelling & Pain Relief – 4.5" x 7" – 24 Pack

I tried one of these and it got almost too cold to put directly on the skin, which is Great because you can always wrap it in a cloth when you first begin to use it and then after the cold starts to where off a bit you can put it directly on the skin. I have also found that if it starts to not feel as cold just shake it a little bit more and then re-apply. These are exactly what I was looking for. The instructions are to Shake and Squeeze, I am not sure if that is backwards or not but once you rupture the inside liquid bag by squeezing the bag I shook it up again really good. Works Great.

Great price. Works exactly as advertised. Love having a bunch of these in a single box for a price way cheaper than buying them in a pharmacy or big box store. Little hard to squeeze to activate. Squeeze and smack-on-a-thigh works better. Ice cold within 15 seconds. Wish they were a little bit bigger - 6in x 8in would be better for use on a sports field. I used these in the first three soccer games where I took my medic bag for kicks to ankles, knee strikes to thighs, and bloody noses. Exactly what was needed. Will be definitely buying these again and again.

Ice packs are a little difficult to pop, but as someone wrote that is a good thing so they dont burst in shipping. They last a little more than 10 minutes. I wrapped it in a towel at first but could barely feel the coolness. After a few minutes I unwrapped it and put it directly on my skin (no danger of frostbite). It is not that cold like a reusable ice pack. It does the job. I used them 3 times a day for 2 days for a month old injury and the pain was gone, surprisingly.

Must-have for any first aid kit. It’s super easy to use—just squeeze, shake, and it’s ready to go! I’ve used it several times for bumps and bruises, and it provides quick, effective relief. The cold lasts long enough to help reduce swelling, and it’s convenient for on-the-go use. Definitely recommend for anyone in need of instant cold therapy

I bought two cases of these because I was leading a group of 50 teens and chaperones on a trip. Our bus for the 8 hour drive didn't have AC, and the arrival of a heat wave meant predicted temps of 100+. This was supposed to be a convenient way to cool folks down, along with cooling towels, water sprayers, and lots of water to drink. I tested one when they were delivered, to make sure they would work well. The pack barely got cold. I didn't take a temperature, but it seriously was a very small change in temperature. Cool, yes, but nowhere near the temp I would expect for something intended to be used to ice a sprained ankle or whatnot. I carried it in my hand, no cover or towel between it and my skin, with no problem. It was not even as cool as water from my cold taps. Other icepacks like this I've used definitely got cold enough to make a barrier between pack and skin needed - almost painful to bare skin. Also, other packs stay cold for at least 20-30 minutes (which makes sense, since 20 minutes is a common recomendation for icing an injury). I timed this pack as well. Within 5 minutes, whatever coolness it had was basically gone. This test was done in our house, which is maintained at 68-70 degrees, and the boxes had been indoors for several hours, so it wasn't warm from being outside. These packs are pretty useless for any purpose I can think of.

I am an on-site medic at an outdoor entertainment center and I use these in my EMT pack. They are pretty easy to activate, and the temp on them when activated is perfect WITHOUT WRAPPING it in a towel. I use them without towels and it works great. They only last 5-10 minutes though.. So I would only use it to treat an injured person. Don;t worry about puncturing the bag when activating it. It would take some sweat to rip these bags

Doesn’t get very cold and doesn’t stay cold long enough Need to buy a larger and thicker ice pack

This is a great product. I fell and hurt my knee really bad and could not walk. I was using ice packs and gel filled ones that you keep in the freezer. Of course these worked, except I need someone to get me fresh ones many times a day since i could not put weight on my leg. I needed to ice twenty minutes on twenty minutes off, for ten days. Needless to say I did not have someone to assist me all the time. With this product I could handle the icing myself and it lasted for the twenty minutes as directed. What a relief this product made of a difficult siuation. I will always keep this product around my home.

I thought they would be colder and last longer. It lasted about 3 min semi cold. Not they great

Price is cheap. Size is ok, enough for normal use. Good for relief pain when injure.

Does not get very cold. And it certainly doesn’t last long.
