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”)

Soft side is nice! Stays cool, good quality. No leaking. Pretty colors!

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 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.

The media could not be loaded. 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 ordered these for after my neck fusion and they have held up nicely so far. I appreciate that one side is fabric, so it doesn’t sit directly on my skin. They do did well with both heating and being iced. No complaints and a good deal!

Great size. Right into the freezer!

great product. ordered twice.

the ice packs came and look to be well made and great quality, too. the only problem I am having is even after freezing overnight, they still only stay cold for maybe 15-20 minutes. the other ice pack I have, keeps cold for about an hour at least, but it's not pliable at all. I like this one for the pliability and also the lavender scent is subtle and not overpowering, but still noticeable. these would be super for someone with face pain/tooth pain especially with the calming lavender scent..but for my broken foot, I just prefer something that stays colder longer.
