TheraPearl Color Changing Hot Cold Pack for Back, Reusable Back Wrap with Strap & Gel Beads, Best Ice Bag for Lower Back Pain Relief, Flexible Hot & Cold Compress for Swelling, Sports Injuries

It works great with the strap to keep it in place.

Only used so far for Ice retention, but must say it was nice to not have to hold it to my body. The ease of use was amazing with the strap you can wrap around you.Stays cold for an ample amount of time and really comfortable as well.

Great!

The pack is flexible which is nice. It stays reasonably cool for the time you need it.

Very versatile.

i like it has velcro on ituse in different areasput on my foot and stayed on with velcroice felt great and pliable

I have bought about 5 of these in the last year. They all eventually pop on the seam and the beads start to fall out. My husband had foot surgery and has to ice it about 5 times a day, so we have these on rotation.

I purchased 3 cold packs for lower back and they all work OK, they all got cold enough, they all stayed cold for 20 minutes (what my doctor recommends).However, overall the best one for me was Lower Back Gel Beads Hot & Cold Therapy Wrap Compress Pack + Fabric Cover - Reusable gel beads provides both ice / heat pain relief and rehab treatments. Great for sports injuries, chronic pain + more. It fits well, even for a 40"+ waist. The belt is a simple elastic with velcro that is very easy to use. The belt is a bit long but you can cut it to get rid of some of the extra bulk if you like. I was a little concerned with the belt attaching directly to the gel bead pack, but after a few months it's holding up fine. I like the cloth cover, it makes it comfortable even directly on skin.The second product is ACE Compress Back Wrap, Cold/Hot. This a good product as well, and if my waist was just a couple inches smaller (38" or less) I would probably give it 5 stars. I really like the belt material, and the velcro is easy to use except for the fact that it's a couple inches too small for me. If Ace would offer an extension for the belt (just a 6" length of the belt fabric with velcro on one end) it would be great without making it too bulky for people with a smaller waist. The pouch for the standard cold pack is bit of a nuisance, they should close one end and make the opening a bit smaller on the other end so the pack doesn't slip out so easily.The third product is TheraPearl Back Wrap, Reusable Hot Cold Therapy Pack. I really wanted to like this one, it's got the biggest cold pack of the three and seems like a simple, easy to use belt. However, it has one serious drawback: the buckle. This just a bad design. It is clumsy to put on and take off yourself. The buckle tends to twist while you are wearing it and can make it a real pain to remove. If the buckle side just had a longer piece of the belt material so I could ignore the buckle and velcro to the belt on that side, it would be a much better product.
