Migraine Ice Head Wrap | Real Migraine & Headache Relief | The Original Headache Cap | Cold, Comfortable, Dark & Cool; Endorsed by Physicians, Loved by Thousands - (Purple)

2 x sealed gel packs and mask included, appear to, be good quality, can be used hot or cold. I found using it hot really helps the blepharitis. Very soothing and comforting. The gel pack foldsin half so it can fit into a cup of boiling water for heating it up (5 mins) and it has a handy hook for fishing out of the cup so you don't burn your fingers. Once heated, pat dry and slip into the pocket of the eye mask which has an elasticated strap to keep it in place on your head. Be sure to follow the enclosed guidelines for safe usage times. I haven't used it for cooling purposes.

I have been using Gel Heat Masks from another manufacturer for several years. I was unable to obtain more from that manufacturer and found these Gel Heated Eye masks instead. I am delighted with these masks being better filled with gel than the previous masks. They are also great value coming with two gel inserts instead of the previous that only had one.I have been using heated eye mask once each morning for about 3 years. They are convenient to use only needing a cup of boiled water. I feel gel mask are much safer. Previously I felt I had burnt my eye on a microwave been bag type as it is difficult to be accurate with how much time to put in the microwave. My dry eye and blepharitis was very severe about three to four years ago and constantly troubling me. It has now considerably improved by a combination of using the heated mask each morning, washing my eye lids twice a day with cotton buds, switching to a preservative free Sodium Hyaluronate eye drop. I was also able to retire from work so I am not using computers so often. I feel using the eye mask daily is important to me to keep my eyes feeling healthy. I am very pleased with the eye masks and would very much recommend.

To make these work for me I heated both gel packs up, letting the gel liquid gather up on one side, hooked onto the edge of a 500ml tin jar, and upon sitting there for 5 mins I fold over the empty side, and insert one per eye into the mask - retains the heat for the best part of 10 mins that way. Fine if you do it like that, honestly, but not so good at all if you only use one of them across the whole mask.May have been helpful if they had made each gel pack larger, with more gel, at least double the amount, but hey, they send you two, so it can be worked around.I've hated needing to use these - ended up with 3 chalazion things (however it's spelled), at once - nightmare, like knuckles poking out of my eyelids, for which these were very helpful, enabling me to shift a lot of the fluid caught up in them by massaging top to bottom for the upper lids, and bottom to top with the lower lids, for about 5 mins afterwards.If you've got blepharitis, which my optician confirmed for me some weeks later, you need to also keep your eyelids clean daily. I use baby shampoo some days, and this tea tree wipe you can get on others. Wash your lids. And if they keep coming back, those lumpy chalazion things, get them looked at, given recurring issues like this may indicate something somewhat sinister, some form of basal cell carcinoma, or other similarly miserable outcomes - Rare - but get checked if it keeps happening, however, if you've got blepharitis, or rather eye dandruff, as it's otherwise known, that's the likely cause. I had to go to eye A&E with the first one, because it got infected, which was truly a delightful experience - carrying with it an additional treatment regime to maintain, with eye blurring ointment drops - oh I could go on about this forever! (Get some hylo forte if you've got this going on as well - to keep those eyes hydrated!).Some of those Amazon "buy this with" recommendations, may be additionally helpful!I was hoping for something normal like sore joints, something simple, as I hit middle age, but no, well, I got those, but gammy eyes on top! You just never know what you're going to get!Miserable, but thankfully things like this exist among other aids. It's a pain to do though, 2 or 3 times a day, 10 mins at a time, taking additional time to do the other stuff. Still, if you suck it up, this compress element should be short-lived, however, keep up the eyelid washing for the long term! However, 3-4 times per week is all you need to do this for, with the massage, to keep the eyes reasonably stable thereafter. I'd also recommend using the product as I did - at least it worked well for me that way. It drops a star because of that workaround that I consider to be needed, otherwise good quality!

Due to dry eyes my optician suggested using a heated eye mask. I initially used a dual heat/cold mask but it didn't keep the heat for long. The MagicGel keeps the heat longer and the gel mask itself is very comfortable and relaxing to wear. It came in a sturdy box with clear instructions. It also comes with two gel packs and a little plastic hook to keep the pack upright while it's heating up, which for the price, I felt was good value for money.I've been using this product more regularly than the previous eye mask, due to how relaxing it feels. Now, I'm just about to put the radio on and my MagicGel for a much needed 10 minute eye treatment!

After reading the amazing reviews I think I was expecting more.I kept it in the freezer for when I needed it.It was lovely and soothing I felt myself relax into it feeling some relief BUTCONS:1. This is advertised as being a "drug-free migraine relief product." Which was attractive to me. I used this as soon as I felt a migraine come on but after an hour I had to take painkillers the pain was getting worse.2. The material was thin and nowhere near thick enough to block out light and as I am very light sensitive during migraine attacks I had to use an eye mask too.3. The ice packs was not easily manipulated to where I needed them. I had to hold them in place.Everyone is different and it's great other people have had good experiences with this product but I think it's best to be a bit wary. If it works for you fab! But if like me you read the great reviews and expect too much; you'll end up being disappointed

I have a condition which requires daily application of a warmed eye mask. I have tried many different types and found these to be the easiest to use and most effective. All you need is hot water from the kettle and a mug or something to stand the mask in. I use an old insulated coffee screw top mug, which means I carry it up to bed with me and it stays hot until I am ready to use it. The other types were always cold by the time I had cleaned my teeth etc and was ready to use it. The pouch is comfortable and there is even a second gel pack, great value too. Really pleased I found these and would definitely recommend
