Hemorrhoid Ice Pack for Relief & Cooling Support – Twin Gel Pack with Hygienic Case – Reusable Cold Therapy for Hemorrhoids, Swelling, Postpartum & Discomfort – Water-Based Gel

Full discloser, I’ve only been using these for two days so far. (I’ll try to update in a week). So to start with, I will say that I am an extremely obese person. So if you are thinner, this may not be your experience. The package I received came with both ice packs intact, mine didn’t have holes or anything like that. The container is ok, not the greatest, a little hard to snap shut, but it is really helpful because of where these ice packs end up, good to keep them separate from the food while in the freezer. For extra security you might want to also put them in a ziplock. But I do like the container, despite its faults. The form factor is perfect for my body. I experience no sharp edges like others have experienced. I am thinking maybe that is because I have more skin/fat in the area. They are extremely comfortable. I use them while laying down. I have heard of them breaking or bursting in other reviews so I will try to be careful not to sit on them. But so far so good. I’ve been using them several times over two days without any problems. Another thing I noticed people complaining about is that it doesn’t stay cold that long. I’d like to point out that between the butt is probably one of the warmest areas of your body. Even a typical ice cube would melt pretty quickly in there. These stay cold for me about 15 minutes. And honestly that is just right. It’s usually said to use ice between 10-20 minutes at a time. So this is the perfect length. It feels so very good on the hemorrhoids that you will probably want to leave it on even longer. Luckily this is a pack of two. So if you wanted a few extra minutes you can. I use one at a time for about 15 minutes, maybe 5-7 times throughout the day. The part that touches is a soft blue gel like feeling. So it feels really comfortable and painless. (For me at least). In a single day I noticed a reduction in hem size. Not a huge reduction, but some, so I am pleased. I really cannot say enough good things about these so far. I will try to update soon. Thank you for making this product!

How does one even go about leaving a review for a hemorrhoid flare up? I guess....just like this. After finding creative ways of icing my 'sore spot', I decided there has to be a better way. It made sense to use a product that was specifically for the problem. Low and behold, I found these gems that come with their own container. Not only that, they are specifically shaped to fit in the area designed for, comfortably I might add. You put them in the freezer, and viola, a while later you have two stone cold gems. You can put it directly on your skin, but I prefer to put them in a ziplock bag first. If you use a cloth wrap it will slip out so I suggest a ziplock bag. Also, warm in your hand first. It will help the initial freezing feeling. Just hold it long enough in your hand where you can push it a tad bit. That seems to be the best temperature. It only stays cold for about 20 minutes until it looses it ump but that is all you need per session. The edges are a little rough but stick it in a plastic bag and you won't notice. You are only paying 10.00 compared to double for other brands so remember that. I'd rather spend less and improvise. It won't hurt you, but those sensitive might not like the edge where it meets. I wouldn't care but some people might. Like I said, put in a plastic ziplock bag and you won't feel it. Also it seems more hygienic that way too. So, I am glad I bought these and not the more expensive ones. This is the way to go! I also don't want something so large I could wrap it around my waist. Some are so big they are ridiculous. These are what you want!

Out of all the things I've used creams, sprays, suppositories, cushions this little ice pack works wonders. The only downside is it has a somewhat Sharp seam that goes around it that I wish was a little bit more dull or softer. The material feels like it's vinyl and the inside of it seems to be some kind of gel that gets cold. It does not last long maybe 10 to 15 minutes tops so I see why people say to buy more than one two pack. But honestly has given me the best relief out of everything. cold therapy is the way to go and this is the best way to address a flare up. I don't recommend using any ointment or cream when applying the pack maybe a little bit so it doesn't stick to your skin but it can get too slippery and slide out or move in a way that is uncomfortable. You have to sit on it you cannot lay on your side because it will not stay put so this isn't recommended for when you're laying down especially if you sleep on your side.

Perfectly sized for the average booty, these were very helpful during my pregnancy. Really helps the swelling go down and reduces discomfort. They are a gel consistency, even when fully frozen, which is nice and comfortable. They only last about 15-20mins, which is the recommended time to put ice on anything before taking a break. Once you put them back in the freezer they get cold again in under an hour. And since it comes with two, you can swap them out if you need another session before that. They work best when sitting upright on a sturdy surface like a dining chair. My only complaint is that the little silicone holder you keep them in says "HEMORRWEDGE" on the front - not exactly discreet if you share a freezer with others. But they're small enough that I can bury them under all the frozen food when we have someone over and hope for the best 😳

Edit on July 16: after using this for only a few days, one of the gel packs opened up slightly while I was sitting with it in place and started to leak gel. Luckily I was using a paper towel or it could have made a big mess. It had been in use for over 20 minutes and had started to soften but that shouldn't have happened. I'm changing my rating from 4 stars to 3. I've started a return Through Amazon but am buying another pack to replace it. Original review below. ------------------------------------ I've only ever had very small hemorrhoids that went away on their own after a couple of days until last week, when out of nowhere, I developed two very large, very painful ones. Preparation H and Vaseline didn't help much (and are very sloppy to use during the day) and ice was way too messy and wet, even when placed into a plastic baggie and put into a paper towel. I looked online and found this. I figured the price was good enough that I could afford it even if it didn't work. I've been using it a few times a night and once in the morning. I don't use it at work, but I think people could manage it in the right office environment with the right amount of discretion. I wrap it in a paper towel instead of using it bare for two reasons: 1) for cleanliness and 2) for temperature control. I can't say it has worked magic, but based on how I feel after using it and seeing the progress from the first few days, I think I can say with some confidence that it definitely helps reduce the size and pain level of the hemorrhoids but you have to use it more than just a couple of times. It cleans very thoroughly and easily in the sink with soap and freezes again in about an hour, so alternating between the two allows me to rest in between usage but still use it a few times a night after work. If there's a downside, it's that maybe they're slightly thicker than I'd like, so when I first put it into place and sit down can be a little bit uncomfortable, and sitting on harder surfaces with one of them in place can also cause a little bit of discomfort for the first few minutes, but you get used to it. I also found that coughing while I'm sitting with it in place is more painful than anything else during the day. For the price, I'd have to say I recommend this if you have hemorrhoids. And if you do, I empathize with you.

I started developing hemorrhoids in month 5 of my first pregnancy. I tried folding over the ice packs I had on hand and using those, but ended up popping one all over my bed. I spent 2 or 3 nights in pain, finally finding these. When they came in, I washed them and stuck them in the freezer, and by bedtime, was desperate for relief. I wrapped them in a small amount of toilet paper, and immediately felt the itchiness dissipate. I finally slept a few hours, and was grateful that the wedges came in a pack of 2 when I woke up in the middle of the night with more itchiness and was able to immediately switch out for a fresh, ice-cold wedge. These wedges are well-sized for their intended use, nestling between the cheeks up against the source of irritation. I am able to sit on these comfortably without worrying that they will pop. The cold lasts maybe 30 minutes, which is enough time for me to fall asleep at night or to put my mind to something else during the day. I wash these with an antibacterial soap prior to putting them back in the freezer, and wrap a small amount of toilet paper, Kleenex, or a small clean sock that has been missing its partner for a long time around the wedge before placing it, preventing any cold burns to the already-irritated area. The plastic holder that the wedges arrive in helps keep any unnecessary unsanitary issues at bay if you forget to wash the pack prior to putting it back in the freezer in the middle of the night, though I don't usually put the lid on very tightly after each use. I plan on creating a small pregnancy gift basket for friends and family who announce their first pregnancies, and will definitely be adding a pack or two of these wonderful wedges to the basket. These have been a god-send for me the last couple of weeks as my issue heals.

takes a long time to get cold. The back is super hard plastic. For someone who has hemorrhoids, this would be a painful experience.

I am in the midst of battling a ferocious external thrombosed hemorrhoid. I bought this product out of desperation. In fact, Im using it right now!! Fits nicely and stays very cold for about 10-12 mins then moderately cold for another 15 or 20. It works best if used when seated, as it stays in position. I can carefully walk with it, but it moves it out of position. As for pain relief, yes, there is short term pain relief because the area is so cold. As for a cure......if cold helps a thrombosed ‘rhoid, then I will be in good shape .... but Im skeptical that anything will help short of time or a doctor’s scalpel (or band). Update: So, I am maybe 6 days past my initial review. My Massive rhoid started to subside 2 days after I started using the wedges. Of course, I have no idea if the two are related. But I will say this - I had a doctors appointment to get the rhoid banded, and cancelled it becuz it was subsiding. There is simply not enough data to positively say the wedges made any difference. That said, I am still using them and will make it part of my Rhoid Routine (advil and 2.5% hydrocortisone) going forward. Good luck! Update: 1/26. For the past few days I've had searing pain that I mostly ignored but New was a rhoid. I went to the gym yesterday and left after about 20 minutes because I felt gross and my ass hurt. I use the wedges last night while watching the Fiesta Bowl..... I did two cycles.... and as I sip my coffee the next morning I feel so much better. I'm doing another cycle right now. I'm not using anything but the wedges. Has made a huge difference this time.

Encantado yo con este producto, realmente si funciona bien, lo recomiendo mucho

This product is awesome. Must buy product for anyone suffering from Hemorrhoids. However, the price(INR 2300) is steep since it does not have any competition in India. Hopefully, Indian companies will start making them making our life easier.

THEY DO WONDERS FOR HEMORRHOIDS IS WHAT MY HSUABND SAYS. HE HAS BEEN USING THEM FOR 4 MONTHS NOW AND THEY SHRUNK THE HEMORRHOIDS.

Purchased these for Anal fissure not necessarily hemorrhoids. Very pleased with thus product. Gave me an element of quality of life back thank goodness!

Spent over 3000 INR and it didn't last a year. please improve its durability. This is the second set i purchased. First set i purchased 2 years ago which have sharp edges don't have this leaking issue but it troubling my skin between butt. Please reduce price or improve quality. Spending 3000/- every 6-8 months is difficult for me. Without this product i cannot live since i am suffering from internal hemorrhoids since 3 years which are not going away. I really feel happy sitting on this after morning poop for 15 minutes and must of my burn will go and feel free for the rest of that day . Great product for my life but reduce price or improve quality.
