Medium Wrap

I do IgG infusions on a biweekly basis and I needed a new ice pack that would cover my entire abdomen, velcro around me, and that would be comfortable, as my cruddy little one just wasn’t cutting it. Enter the Life & Limb gel pack. This sucker is life changing. Not only does it cover the areas for my infusion insertion sites, it perfectly covers my entire trunk (5’4”, 129 lbs) without cutting into me or being too bulky/large. It is so freaking comfy. The fact that it molds to shape is also great. This means there’s no extra added pressure on those needles and the velcro is SO easily adjustable; there’s no loops to run it through and it just stays comfortably in place. I can do my set up standing up and then relax and sit or lay down with ease for the duration. No readjusting or having to be extra careful about positioning. I tossed the gel packs in the freezer as soon as the box arrived and by infusion time, they were icy icy cold...and the best part - they stayed cold! And... y’all... I wasn’t soaked in condensation. Holy cow. Perfect thickness, whether for cold or warmth. For me, this is a BIG deal and it will definitely help to make infusions go smoooooth from now on. I also look forward to trying it out heated up and see the magic it works on achy back muscles. Thank you, Life & Limb, and also thank you for giving back to preservation and your local community!

This therapy pack is great. Well made, love the design, so easy to use, stays cold for a long period of time, and very comfortable. It reduced the pain in my knee, giving it more mobility. A good value for the price. I would recommend this product.

Quality, size, and fit are good. Keeps ice cold for quite awhile. My only complaints would be 1) With my arm in a sling from shoulder surgery, it is very tricky to put on. What makes it even worse is that the cling itself has velcro all over it, so the velcro from this shoulder compress gets caught on the sling. 2) The velcro on this compress is very strong. That's good for keeping it on, but you really have to tug to get it off. But, overall I'd buy it again. Much cheaper than the $200 thing the doctor was trying to get me to buy.

I find that this head wrap provides a lot of relief during bad headaches or migraines. I find that, right out the freezer, it is slightly too cold, but putting a paper towel between it and my head buffers it just enough to make it feel just right. After a few minutes, I can removed the paper towel and it is perfect. The gel doesn't stay cold quite as long as I'd like it too, but it easy to swap out. The only problem is, it doesn't stay cold long enough to give the second gel back time to refreeze. Since it isn't too expensive (compared to many of the other migraine solutions I've found), I went ahead and ordered a second one so that I'd have 4 gel packs to use. This has become a staple in my migraine relief plan.

Because I am making a glowing review, I need to say that I have NO incentive to do so. I have not received any free item nor do I personally know anyone in the Life and Limb company. Some products simply deserve a glowing review and this is one of them. I have had my issues with chronic rotator cuff inflammation. As a physician, I view these products with a very critical eye. I have tried several different shoulder ice/heat products and this is, by far, the best there is in my opinion. Some of these very similar products sell for well over $100. This product is extremely well designed and the manufacture is of the highest quality. The Life and Limb company is a small family business and I sincerely commend them for providing such a high quality, American made (I believe) product at such a reasonable price. With all of these shoulder products, the first application can require some help, but once it is fitted it is much easier. I am 6ft 240# with 48in chest and had no problems with the fit. The Life and Limb company will customize these for the "outliers" of size. Here's a little trick. The instructions say to start by placing the affected arm into the arm strap, then adjusting the chest strap, which can require reaching around the back to grab the chest strap. I do the opposite. Once the chest strap is fitted the first time, I leave it attached. I remove and replace the device by the arm strap, making sure it remains attached to the BACK part of the arm component. Now, when I put the device on, I slip my head and my non-injury arm through the chest strap so the arm component is laying on top of my injury shoulder. I just reach the arm strap with my non-injury arm and attach the strap to the front of the arm component. Look no further! This is perfection.

The item is definitely high quality made and works as intended, but there are a few of things that bother me about it. NOTE: The problems that I have with my shoulder make me have to wear it at a higher angle than is shown in the picture (I have to pull it up against my neck and pull the long strap under my chest on the opposite side so the icepack is tight against the front, back, and very top of my shoulder). My feedback is with wearing it in this manner (which is DIFFERENT than the picture and potentially different than how it is intended to be used). That being said, here is why I only gave it 3 stars: 1. The top buckles are too close to the edge of the shoulders...if I lay down with it on, the buckle pushes against my jaw and is uncomfortable. 2. The insulation on the outside is perfect, but there is very little to none on the side that goes against your skin. So in order for it to be comfortable, I have to use paper towels between the icepack and the wall of the wrap or the cold physically hurts my skin (even when wearing it over a shirt). 3. The lower strap is course and itchy, and it also tends to fold and ride up (against my armpit) instead of sitting still and flat. I have to wear a t-shirt or something with a partial sleeve so the strap is not directly against my skin to avoid irritation from the fabric. A sleeve also helps stop it from riding up. As I said, due to my injury/pain I have to wear it differently than is pictured. This may be adding to the problems that I have with the upper buckles and lower strap. I also have somewhat sensitive skin. This may seem like a lot of complaints about the product, but it really is very well made. If the product was a little longer so the lower strap sat a little further down, there was more insulation on the side that goes against your body, and the top buckles were put about a half inch further in/down from the edges, then I would definitely give this product 5 stars. Unfortunately, having to use it the way that I need to for my particular problem, I am unable to give it higher than a 3, especially with its hefty price tag. I write this in the event that someone else who reads this needs the same type of ice therapy as I do as opposed to just needing it as pictured. When I tried using it like that, I couldn't get it tight enough or high enough on my shoulder for it to be useful like that.

This is by far one of the best products I have ever bought. I have had chronic headaches & migraines most of my life and have not been able to find anything like it. Traditional ice packs give off too much condensation and don’t stay in place, and other gel packs are too solid to be comfortable or conform to my head before it gets warm. This wrap is extremely comfortable to wear (adjustable Velcro securement, not bulky, & has soft fleece) especially laying down, and I am able to align it to wherever my headache is. And I love that it comes with two gel packs—which just one maintains coldness for long enough for my headache meds to kick in or me to fall asleep. I haven’t used it for heat yet, but I have used a frozen gel pack to soothe other aches & pains, like a burn on my finger. Also, I learned that taking the gel packs out of the headband before tossing them in the freezer allows them to get as cold as possible! This purchase led me to buy other packs from the Life & Limb Gel store and recommend them to all my friends & family!

This is the only shoulder cold compress to get. I looked at all the other ones I could find on Amazon and other places following shoulder surgery. This is the only wrap that has a continuos pad that completely coveres the top and sides of the shoulder and the upper arm with cold and is also easy to walk around with and work. I take this to wok on days that I have PT and use this following the appointment so I can work rather than have to sit next to an ice machine. The ice pack stays good and cold for at least 20 minutes and the strap is comforatble, secure and very adjustable so you can get a snug fit with good ice contact. Adjust how cold you want it by how many layers of clothing you wear. My ice machine is out of work with this wrap. Very well made. Couldn't be happier.

I get alot of migraines and have been looking for something like this for a while and was quite happy when I found it . but ... for the price it is not all that great ... does not stay cold that long .
