The first time I needed to use an Instant Cold Pack, it was not an easy experience in order to get to Cold. I would squeeze according to the directions with immense pressure equally distributed around the circumference of the Pack, ( as an aside, I was a combat medic in VN and have been strength training since I came home. Ergo, I will attest to the durability of the Instant Cold Pack ) to continue, it was No Joy for Cold , even after I massaged the granules into place. My second try was a lot more fruitful. Same pack, this was for the Church so I could not waste them. Same routine, but now, I really was aggressive with the movement of the granules and, after about a minute, The Eagle Had Landed ! Also, the pack stayed in tact, no tears or leaks, and the cold was really cold and remained usable to reduce pain and swelling. Now, I am not advocating for an eight hour cold pack treatment. The normal rules for cold pack therapy are in place, of course. We do not want to reduce pain and cause frost damage to the skin. By staying cold for so long, eight hours by my timing, a break from use can be taken without having to use another pack when therapy is recontinued. By staying cold for so long, one pack can treat more than one site. Three different sites was the best I could do using 10-15 minute treatment time per site. Now, I think that I have an answer to the people who found it a negative to have to manipulate the pack for so long before reaching an excellent level of cold; Please consider the following: 1) The manipulation time will allow you to calm down and focus on something else besides the pounding in your head, 2) also, it will give you a little time to talk to the Little One and calm his fear. After such a short time, one minute, you will be looked at as a magician. 3) you have a little time to calmly eyeball the injured child and assess the damage and act accordingly. This is an excellent product that I was going to scrap because it did do what I wanted fast enough. The extra time certainly led to long term usability and that is the BIG plus.

It's really hard to pop in inner packet, I had to fold it in half and step on it to activate the chemical reaction inside the pouch. I shook it and applied it. It gets cold but only for 5 minutes, I kept shaking it trying extend the cold life of the pouch and that didn't help. The biggest problem is that there is more air in the packet than cold liquid. The air makes it hard to actually feel the cold in the packet because you're mostly applying a pouch of air on yourself. I'm definitely not buying these again, they don't come close to a regular freezer ice pack, the least they could have done was put more of the cold liquid in the pack. I bought these for students when we are at a sports facility and for when it's super hot and I need something cold to cool off while away from the freezer. My battery powered fan and rotating freezer ice packs will do.

MED PRIDE Instant Ice Bags offer quick and effective relief for injuries. Their easy-to-activate design is convenient in any situation. The bags stay cold for an impressive duration and are durable enough for repeated use. Highly recommended for first aid kits and on-the-go needs.

Like one other review mentioned.. it is much easier to place on the floor and gently step on to activate. I tried the twisting method and it DID NOT work for me at all! Could have been the fact that the pain was in my elbow, but either way it was just really hard to pop the inside packaging. I did think I may have burst the entire bag by the sound, but it was much easier to step on it. And once activated it went cold immediately. It was chill for just under 14 minutes. Not sure I will purchase again. :(
