Relief Expert Extra Large Ice Pack for Shoulder Support Wrap Reusable Rotator Cuff Cold Compression for Left or Right Shoulder, Gel Cold Pack Wrap for Arm with Soft Plush Lining

I purchased this product in June of 2022, for my husband who never used it. Thankfully I kept it because I fell about a month ago and damaged my shoulder. This product is absolutely a life saver! What a great invention! It's well made, stays cold for a long time, and fits the shoulder perfectly (I'm a big woman). Lastly, it sat in a box for two years, came out of the box like new, and has worked excellent for me.

Relief Expert XL Shoulder Ice Pack/ Rotator Cuff Cold Therapy is a an excellent product. It stays in place whether walking around the house, transporting in a car, in a wheelchair, or sleeping in bed. No worries about wrapping in a towel that never seems to stay in place. The soft velour fabric is very comfortable against ones skin and if you prefer the more cooler plastic skin- side that works too!Only downside is absolutely needing a second pair of hands to secure the wrap of first strap to the back/over the shoulder and to secure the second strap around the upper arm for cold therapy support.Stays cold and dry for well over 20 minutes without any drips.I am ordering a second wrap to always have one ready as it takes 4 hours to freeze.So glad I found this wrap and gladly recommend it for recovery from shoulder replacement surgery!UPDATE: 7/24/24 Ordered and received the lilac color and am equally satisfied. So pleased to have on hand for travel. Having one 'on ice' so to speak in a cooler for continued use during a car trip is a bonus.

Reviewing the XL. It is very large which is what I wanted so it would cover top, front, back and arm to my elbow. This one does that. The first one I bought I sent back because it was way to small for me.There is one issue with this one that is causing me a problem. The arm strap is too low. I get it on and in a few minutes the strap slides off the ice pack and isn't holding anything. (see the picture) The strap should be farther up on the arm band. This might not affect a person with long arms but I am a woman with shorter arms.The other drawback is getting it on. It is difficult. I have to, first, close the arm strap where I think it would be the right diameter, slide my arm into it and then pull it up over my shoulder to my neck. I don't think I would have been able to get it on myself right after surgery when my arm was very sore. It is a struggle pulling it on and up over my shoulder this way. I can't imagine how that would feel right after surgery.The straps are very long. Actually so long on me that I can't hook it the way it is meant to be hooked because I would have to reach around to the back of my good shoulder to do that. However, I have found a work around for that problem. From under my arm, go thru the loop from the top, pull the strap down and loop it back up. (See the second picture)I'm going to keep this one because I really need an ice pack NOW. And, it does do the job (especially if you have help putting it on). It seems to be well made and stays cold as long as required for a good 20 minute icing. However, should I ever have to replace it I think I would look for something easier to get on by myself. Hopefully, I won't need another one anytime soon. The ones they have where I take therapy are so soft, comfortable and simple. But, I probably couldn't afford one like they use.

comfortable icing after surgery

I ordered two because I had an injury in both shoulders and I was able to put them both on my shoulders without any help. It keeps cold enough, comfortable and you feel the pressure on your shoulder. If you had surgery or just an injury to your shoulders, you should get those. I highly recommend them.

I had Rotator cuff surgery on July 1 and thought that this would be helpful to have because it is supposed to fit. Its been less that 2 weeks and I am returning it mostly because it's very uncomfortable.It is in the shape described but doesn't stay that way. It comes folded in half in the box and there is a plastic bag with it, which it must be put into before you put it in the freezer.1.The bag doesn't stop condensation on the item so ice crystals form on it (which eventually drip on you) 2. You can't freeze this item flat as it doesn't fit into the bag that way so when you take it out of the bag, frozen, it has to be pried apart and all the stiff edges cut into the skin of your neck.3. When frozen, it does mostly cover the shoulders on both sides it does not fit snugly until it begins to that.4. The bicep cuff is supposed to cover the entire bicep ( my bicep was cut and received an anchor) and the velcro strap holds it closed. Well the top portion of the bicep cuff when frozen does not wrap around the entire bicep and the edges (where it folds) stick out at 90 degree angles.Lastly, the picture is deceiving because the female has a long torso. I am 5'4. I had to have the torso strap go under my armpit, which digs, in order to get the pack to fit right.

This was a bit awkward to put on the first time but what a great gel pack! The velvety surface against the skin eliminates the need for an additional cover and prevents freezing damage to skin. We found it also worked well after knee surgery because unlike other gel packs it wrapped around the thigh, "bent" at the knee and wrapped around the top of the calf requiring only one pack, no cover, and was secure. We love this thing. I found a clean, soft (dry), wash cloth folded over the upper edge allowed us to secure it better without chaffing the neck. But it's the only thing I e found to actually work on a shoulder: it's big enough and stays put!

This wrap does not get cold enough to penetrate the shoulder, where the pain is. It also did not stay cold very long. It did not help me at all, so I returned it.

I am a woman who wears size M for tops. This fits really well. Straps are the right length for me. It curves around the shoulder well. I like that I can move the cooling gel through the whole pad to be where I want it most. I like that there is a a fuzzy and a non-fuzzy side; since I wear it over a long sleeved t-shirt I use the non-fuzzy side.The cold is good. Some reviews say it doesn’t stay cold - I disagree - it stays cold during a normal 10-20 duration for icing, same as the other ice pads I have.I very much like it and recommend it.

This item is exactly what we needed for recovery after pitching a fame if baseball. Fits well and does exactly what we need it to.

Remains flexible even when frozen. Stays cold longer than ice/gel packs. I used it for post surgery recovery..

As described. Works well.

Good as advertised. Easy to use and generous in size
