FAQs
Can these packs be used on children?
Yes, they are designed to be safe and are ideal for minor childhood injuries, though adult supervision is recommended.
Should I place the pack directly on my skin?
It is recommended to wrap the pack in a thin towel if the temperature feels too intense, especially for sensitive skin.
How long do the packs stay cold?
Due to their 3-inch size, they typically provide targeted relief for 10-15 minutes.
Are these microwave safe?
It is advised to use the hot water soak method as directed to avoid overheating or rupturing the pack in a microwave.
Is the gel inside toxic?
The gel is non-toxic; however, the packs are not intended to be opened or ingested.
Troubleshooting
Gel pack is too rigid when frozen
Let the pack sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before application to allow the gel to become more pliable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use as a cold pack, place the gel packs in your freezer for at least one hour before use. For hot therapy, place the packs in a bowl of warm water (not boiling) for several minutes until the desired temperature is reached. Always test the temperature against your inner wrist before applying it to the affected area. After use, simply wipe the packs down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them in the freezer or a cool, dry place to prevent mold or odors.
