Works Excellently - Super Expensive
Let's face it, hot flashes are not fun. I started peri-menopause last year and the hot flashes started to ramp up a few months ago. Getting old is an interesting journey.<br /><br />I have used a lot of different icepacks and they work, but none of them really seem to help solve the problem. This pack feels different. I wear it over a t-shirt and usually under a thin sweatshirt or fleece. Typically I wear it in the evening before I go to bed because I find that if I cool my temperature off at night I sleep better.<br /><br />I have found that if I keep this pack in the freezer I can use it for a little over an over and it does stay really cold. It is not overwhelmingly cold, but it is comfortingly cold. The claim that it pulls heat away from your body is really true. There is no other way to describe it. It is the strangest feeling to suddenly feel like your body temperature is dropping. It is pleasant.<br /><br />The one drawback is the cost. At $139, I am not sure what makes this that much better than two very large gel ice packs other than the shape. Unless I had unlimited amounts of money I am not sure I would spend that much.<br /><br />I live in Michigan where the temperature is starting to get colder, but I know that next summer I will be using the heck out of this pack.
