Large Refillable Ice Bags 6.5 x 14 [Pack of 5] – Reusable Ice Pack with Clamp Closure, Soft Outer Covering & Leak-Resistant Inner Layer for Hospital, Home & Sports Use

These are great ice packs! I fractured my shoulder pretty badly in December. I decided against surgery, so recovery is going to be long and painful. Ice has proven to be one of the best pain control methods for me, so I needed to find an ice pack that was convenient (even when I was by myself), stable and long lasting. Blue gel packs get warm pretty quickly and always seem to pick up stale freezer smells. Those stinky ice packs are a particular problem when they’re sitting on your shoulder and the smell is constant! I tried the “waterproof” fabric bags with the screw on lid, but they are difficult to fill with one hand and I had a hard time twisting the top of the bag to keep the air out while screwing on the lid. If I didn’t get the lid perfectly, it leaked all over me. The ice pack I was given at the hospital worked great, so I was happy to find identical ice packs here on Amazon. I chose these bags because they are reasonably priced, they are exactly the same size as the one that worked from the hospital and they could be delivered quickly. I’m REALLY glad I chose these! They worked so well that I just bought a second pack. They are easy to fill without help. I can hold the bag open with my bad arm (without moving it) and fill it from a bowl of ice I get from the fridge dispenser. The bag top folds over easily and the fastener clicks shut with minimal effort. I use my bad arm to steady it and my good arm to close it. It’s easy to fill and close even with limited mobility. The ice stays cold for quite a while - even when it’s mostly water! The material conducts the cold nicely and I don’t have to put a towel on my skin to keep it from getting too cold. The size is perfect. The pain extends from my shoulder to my elbow, so I’m able to lay it vertically to cover my entire upper arm and shoulder. I use a pillow to prop up my arm while sitting or resting and that’s enough to also hold the ice pack in place. If I’m going to be up and around, I can use the ties on the corners to secure it around my neck and arm. It stays in place quite nicely! I’ve noticed that the ice packs last about 5 days or so with heavy use. After that time, water starts to seep from the seams - usually the bottom seam, but sometimes different areas. I’m ok with that. They aren’t designed to last forever - that’s why they come in a multipack! The Dr said my recovery will take about a year, so I anticipate many more purchases of these well designed, effective ice packs.

Item arrived quickly and was exactly as described. Great quality ,very durable and making g it through football games. It has exceeded my expectations, very happy with this purchase!

These ice bags worked great! We were able to easily re-use a bag for a few days by emptying some of the water and adding more ice each use (same patient). They don't leak, and are a good size for hip replacement surgery recovery. They are very affordable for semi-disposable use. They are the same product we were given to use at the hospital, which is why we purchased a pack of 5 for home after discharge. Great buy!

I got these because they are similar to the one the casualty gave me. I thought they'd be better than my usual ice bag using a zip lock. The zip lock leaks. But so does this one. And the cloth cover reduces the cold effect. Maybe this is good to avoid burning the skin with too much cold. But then the pain reducing effect of the ice is also reduced. Too much in my opinion. This is for a broken clavicle which is very painful. Maybe for mild muscle strains this would work fine. I went back to my zip lock bag. The pain reduction is a relief.

Great value for the money. These are not designed to last forever but they do last a long time with proper care. Great price for the amount you get.

Worked great for icing after surgery! Didn’t leak.

I bought these to go on a cruise overseas after having knee surgery. Cabins don't have a freezer so i couldn't take a regular ice pack. They worked okay but the could leak pretty easy. If you are in a pinch, they are fine.

These refillable ice packs are amazing, I have ordered more so that I can hand them out to everyone I know (lol im serious). I love not having to store ice packs in the freezer, plus it's nice that they are a little thick so you don't need like a plastic bag with a towel. so you can store it very easily in a suitcase, fill it up with ice anywhere you go, and they have strings which make it super convenient to tie for your shoulder or your knee if you are driving or at your desk. And they don't leak and are super affordable!

its one bag, the ad says BAGS!!!
