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.

I love this product!!!! The scent of lavender is very noticeable but not super strong. The fabric in the back is very soft and the heating stays for about 15 minutes or so. It’s very good in an office environment or at church or somewhere where your in cold temperatures for long periods of time. It definitely does it’s job well!!!! And it has plenty of beautiful purple and clear colored beads! Great product it’s also bigger than my average hands which is a plus!

My daughters started walking at about 10 months, so for the last 3-4 months there have been lots of bruises and these have been so amazing for that. They are large enough but not huge, verybsoft even on the plastic side and have a nice strap which makes it easier to hold on to a certain spot. My husband even used it recently when he banged his foot pretty badly, and said it was soft enough to put on there right after hurting himself. My father even ordered them to ice his eyes as he is type 1 diabetic with severe macular degeneration and high eye pressure. The price is so wonderful I will be ordering a 2nd set.

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 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!

Daughter Loves it

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I used to love this fiercely but haven’t bought any since a year ago. Just bought them again and they are smaller and the plastic is cheaper. I will go to the Walmart brand of heating pads because at least they are cheaper and the quality is the same as these new ones. I was willing to pay the cost difference when the product will last longer but if there is such a negligible difference I might as well as get the cheaper. As an aside they no longer give off a whiff of lavender like they used to when heated just smells like warm plastic

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.

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.

I know it's strange to love a set of icepacks, but I do. I really, really do. I keep mine in the freezer and use them only for cold therapy. I love that these use water beads so the icepack is always flexible. On the back side of the icepack is a soft fleecy fabric, so you can put that against your skin without worrying about your skin getting too cold. There is an elastic on the back. Sometimes I need to ice my ankle so I can just sip my foot through the elastic and the pack just stays on my ankle without me holding it there. I don't notice the lavender scent at all. Maybe it comes out with they pack gets heated up. These are by far the best ice packs I have ever used.

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 🦋
