I like these, and they have also been very useful for my Mom. Last November, 2015, while staying in a hotel, I had trouble with my ankle, and the top of my foot suddenly became all swollen. I stumbled over this TheraPearl in a Target, and decided to give it a try. I popped it into the hotel room's microwave for a few seconds, and applied. Wow, the heat was so helpful and soothing. The heat doesn't last more than about 20 minutes, max, so I just popped it back into microwave again. Then, just this month, my Mom needed cold on her swollen shoulder area, so I was able to give her one of these, thanks to Amazon for carrying them at least $3 cheaper. This time it was into the freezer. Again, it doesn't hold extreme temperature varients for long, but long enough to get the relief needed for a short time, an escape from the discomfort and pain. But it is the size, which seems just right for shoulder area, and foot, which make them so handy and indispensable in so many situations. Even just getting some body coolness in triple digit heat ! And my Mom and I both feel safe enough using them that we have fallen asleep with them on us, although the reviews that mention leaking are causing me to rethink that. I am going to order another one, from Amazon, because being able to rotate, whether microwave or freezer, is the ideal way to do it. Update : 8 / 20 / 16. Unbelievable. I stubbed my little toe on a box I'm packing and broke it ! I've got to say, so happy I had two of these in the freezer. Yes, ice cubes are great too, but no time to get that set up when you're in agony and screaming. I could just grab this, hobble to bed, and use. My doctor says those outside toes get broke all the time, because they are on the outside, vulnerable, alone, not nice and cozy between other friendly toes. It happened on weekend, and I read about it online, and following online instructions I Buddy Taped it, elevated, and iced with TheraPearl. Man, oh man. I will never be able to go comfortably in my socked feet again. Haunted by the painful memory. :-( 👣 😨

Works perfectly. Bends well to go cover top / side of area. Freezes great, heats well.

I like this product but not the price. It is perfect for icing an injury or whatever. I have not used it as a warm pack. I can apply it directly on my skin without it bothering me. However, the cold does not last long, but really I think that is ok because I don't ice injuries longer than like 10-15 minutes anyways. I throw it back in the freezer and its ready for then next hour when I want to ice again. I bought a couple.

I have CP and noticed that I was experiencing stiffness, swelling, and pressure in my left knee. NSAIDS & topical pain creme help, but not completely, and they are not safe for long term use or in large quantities. My sister-in-law has these in her freezer as she is an avid exerciser and runner, so I tried one on a whim when I was there, and was very pleased with the results. The beads hold the cold in well and conform very well to wherever you want to use them, with or without a strap (which is an option). I haven't tried them in the microwave, but I fully intend to. Already I have noticed a marked improvement, yes, the stiffness is still there and to some degree always will be, but for the first time in two weeks, I haven't felt the godawful pressure which made me feel as if I was going to tear something or pop something out of place. Also, the swelling is gone!!!! It's truly amazing what 20 minute intervals a couple of times a day have done for my overall well being. I bought two, because my mom, who is in her 70s is prone to getting sick and when she runs fevers, she uses Ziplock bags of ice which melt quickly and sometimes leak. When I'm not using them, for myself, she can use them. They are super easy to clean and only take about 4 hours to refreeze. The beads change colors so you know when they are properly cooled or heated. This was a good deal too!!!!! Not at all expensive and thanks to the Amazon coupon I applied, I got them for a great price. Will definately buy again and recommend to other friends and family members.

Highly recommend. Easy to use. I drape the pack over a small bowl in the freezer to better shape it for use on my knee. So much easier to use than a hard brick of ice.

There has been at least one reusable hot pack in my home for over twenty years, and the TheraPearl pack is the best of all that I have used. I purchased two recently (one, "just in case"), after the pack that I had used for nearly ten years finally wore out. The heat provided by this pack is more uniform than that with other packs that I had previously used, and the pack stays suitably hot or warm for longer than the others. It can take some time to determine how long one needs to keep the pack in the microwave oven, and for how long, to achieve the desired level and duration of heat. Of course, this will vary from one oven to another. Wrapped with a damp washcloth, the pack is great for a hot compress over the eyelids (which needs to be applied for a full ten minutes, at a just-bearable temperature). It has also served well to apply heat to a tired muscle in the back or leg. One situation to avoid is overheating the pack, to the point that it inflates and the plastic stretches. This will eventually lead to thinning and rupture of the pack. With that caveat, highly recommended.

It works well both as both a hot and cold compress but only lasted about 3 years with sporadic use before a seam broke open. I really wish they would reinforce the seams somehow... just make them stronger. I'm not a fan of having to repeatedly buy items that break, especially when plastic is involved, due to issues of sustainability and waste.

Facile da congelare, sempre pronto all'uso se lasciato in freezer. Materiale ben adattabile alle forme del corpo. Non bagna i vestiti

It's damaged and can't be replaced

Para que pagar más en una farmacia por algo que al final se hace en el mismo sitio? Pues eso. Que mi mujer que es quien la usa para la espalda supercontenta con la bolsa.

Esta bolsita es de gran utilidad, ya que puede utilizarse de manera fría y caliente, en lo personal sólo la he utilizado fría, cabe mencionar que esta no se congela como tal pero su sensación térmica es muy fría, no dura más de 10 minutos fría ya que también depende de la temperatura del ambiente y tu cuerpo, debido al material del plástico no se siente que se queme la piel como lo haría aplicar hielo directamente por un tiempo prolongado.
