Koolpak 20 x Compact Instant Cold Ice Packs - 15 x 15 cm Disposable Instant Ice Pack for Injuries - Single Use First Aid Ice Packs for Sports & Recovery - Schools Workplace Travel Kits

These are really great to have for travelling or for taking out and about for injuries. They are 15x15cm which isn't the largest in the world but it is also not small. With a larger injury they probably wouldn't cover the entire area of what you would want it to. These are really quick and simple to use and in the moment they are very easy to activate, you find the pouch inside, hold pressure until the small pouch inside bursts and then shake. This instantly will make the pack feel ice cold which offers a great cooling feeling on the skin just as if you got it out the freezer. This pack lasts for around 25 minutes until it is about room temperature or just a little cold. I find these to be really effective. I use mine to help me with grounding when I am feeling overwhelmed or distressed these are a massive help and can help me feel more present and having these mean I can use them on the go or when getting an ice pack from the freezer is inaccessible. I think they are okay value for money too, they are obviously going to be more pricey given the product that they are but they are highly effective and have made a huge difference to my life and are perfect for a range of different situations as you never know when you're going to need one of these

I bought these after having eye surgery and they were great to use in the first days of recovery to reduce swelling. Quick and easy to use, and felt more hygienic than re-using an ice pack. Stay cold for a long time. Perfect size for what I needed.

5* because it was brilliant. In this heat wave it didn't stay cold for long. However they are brilliant for my overheating teenager with ASD. The one I tested didn't leak, size could be a little bigger but not complaining as they're great relief.

I’ve bought the large ones of these before and thought I’d try the small ones to save space in first aid kits which I keep at home, in the car, in my studio workshop, etc. I had reason to try them after spraining an ankle, and found them a little tricky to get started. The trick to popping the inner bag seems to be put a finger on each end of the tube and push together, rather than squeeze in the middle. They do get nicely cold, but don’t stay that way for very long. As you’re supposed to ice a sprain for ten minutes on, ten minutes off, it would take more than one as it is no longer very cool after 20 minutes. (I think the bigger ones last longer). But still very useful in a pinch and this size would be especially good for childrens bumps and bruises. For an adult ankle I had difficulty getting it to stay put as it doesn’t drape around like the larger size - it could be held in place with a bandage if needed though.

Bought for my other half who has injured her knee, with the intention of taking them on holiday. This brand is recommended by St. John's Ambulance service. She tried one and was really pleased. Said it went as cold as ice, and did the job it's intended for perfectly.

Replacing stock with the same brand, very good.

These get freezing cold really quickly, it's more like a bag of water than of gel/crystals, but it does get really cold and I've carried them around all day in a full backpack and none of them burst.

Unfortunately, I can't recommended, based on the poor performance. I purchased them for general cooling of my skin during a migraine. The initial cooling is great, and they get chilled in seconds. However the cold dissipates in less than a few minutes, leaving a plastic bag of tepid water which doesn't do anything much. I can't see how they would be effective for a soft tissue injury which would need icing for longer. This means the performance doesnt justify the cost. Honestly, a cold drinks can out of the fridge would work better. Very disappointing
