    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    We use this wrap all the time in our physical therapy facility. It's perfect for holding ice packs in place on shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. They last a long time, none of ours have worn out yet, and we've been using them multiple times a day for over a year. Our patients want to know where they can buy one for home use and we tell to go to Gardeners Supply.

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    After receiving it in the mail, I used it (heat) to relieve a knot in my upper back/shoulder area and it was very effective in applying the heat and staying in place. I could sit back and relax watching TV while the heat did it's thing!

     
    Worth the clearance price

    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    The wrap is a good design and easier to use than most other wraps. I'm also a therapist and have used many types of hot packs. The gel pack is useless, since it can't be frozen and I haven't tried nuking it after reading other revues. The pocket fits a freezer gel pack I got in the pharmacy, so it's been very useful.

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    I bought this because I needed to keep an ice pack in place in the back of neck and shoulder area. The ice pack is much larger than the teeny ice pack pouch on this thing, but the elastic does hold the larger packs in place as long as I put it in a ziplock type bag and pin it to the elastice strap. It is still a lot easier to use than the fabric contraption I tried to make up before. It slips sometimes, but for the most part it works well enough so that my hands are free to do what I have to do.

    This is the second of these wraps that we have purchased. The first one split open after several uses. The last one split open after being microwaved about the third time. Definitely not satisfied and would not recommend that anyone purchase this item.

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    I am a physical therapist. I like using this wrap to provide an ice application on my patients. It works really well on shoulders and ankles. We use it over and over again everyday. The fabric is long lasting. We've been using these wraps for over a year and have not had any wear out yet! Our patients like them because they are comfortable. Some have asked for them to have at home and I have referred them to your website for ordering. Thank you for providing such a great product at such a reasonable price.

    Gel insert to heat burst the 2nd time I heated it, @ only 15 seconds. Disappointed about that. I now have it in a Baggie so it won't oooze every where. I haven't heated since it burst. Love the wrap portion. Just wish the insert was more durable. Will look for a different insert so I can continue to use it.

    Easy to put on back,shoulder,and knee. I've used pack both hot and cold. The only con is that I can't warm it up as much as I would like to. I have another gel heat pack that does allow more heat and fits in the wrap. Would recommend product to others.

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    A wonderful idea. Would be helpful if there were another adjustable strap (to go under the left arm --see photo) that could be used to prevent the wrap from slipping and to help keep the cold pack in the desired location. The cold pack provided does not stay cold enough. I am using regular 5" x 7" freezer gel packs in the wrap.

    This product need some tweeking. I would still recommend it.

    Great idea. I have used it on my knee and on my elbow tendonitis. Wish the gel pack part were larger and could be frozen, rather than refrigerated, so that the cooling part would last longer. The wrap part is valuable for holding the gel snuggly in place.

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    I use this for back and shoulder pain. I like that it is easy to use. You just wrap it around your body and use the velcro to keep it in position. I use a regular freezer pack instead of the cold pack. It lasts longer.
    If you have any question about size, I would get a large. The velcro sticks to any part of the band.

    The pack did not get hot enough when microwaved for the 15 seconds recommended. Nor when I pushed it to 30 seconds. However, 1 minute was too much and the inner bag burst. I like the outer workings , so now I have to find another heatable pouch for the inside.

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    I like the design, and it is well made. However, the instructions say to place it in the refrigerator, not the freezer. As such, it's never quite cold enough - I'll likely go back to using the freezer gel packs instead. I haven't, however, tried to heat it in the microwave, so perhaps the heating aspect is more effective.

    I bought a medium wrap for myself and liked it so much I bought another one. The cold pack doesn't last very long, so I use it with an ice pack. It's great to wrap around my knees. (Too much gardening) I bought a large one for my father to use after he had shoulder surgery. He said it really helped the pain.

    It holds ice or warm product just where it should. No more ice pack slipping around - not giving you the pain relief you need. No more holding a warm cloth in place in order to get the comfort needed to sooth a joint.

    The only drawback is that the holding pouch could be a little longer.

    Comments about Elastic Hot/Cold Wrap:

    The wrap is very well made, much better than others I've owned. It is easy to target a specific area of the back, shoulder, arm, foot, etc.. My only complaint is that you can't freeze the cold pack that comes with it; it must be kept in the refrigerator. This is fine most of the time. However, sometimes I prefer an ICE pack. I should note that you can easily slip a different pack into the wrap as needed.
