Review (4/5): Fight night sweats
I've put up with night sweats for many years, toughing it out, tossing off sheets, occasionally running my hands under cold water or using a cold washcloth when it got bad. These pads are a perfect non-medication -- and dry! -- solution. I bought two. They stay by my bedside and when I get too hot, I place them under my knees or neck, wherever I think they will help. They are thin and comfortable and keep cool for several minutes, enough to cool me down. I've never put them in the fridge. That might be too much for me. A few minutes back out in the air, and they are ready to cool again. I've had them a few days, so this is not a review about their long-term reliability. I'll post back later on that. Four stars until I see if they continue to work.
A month later...
The pad works very well. It won't hold a chill forever, but usually enough to halt a hot flash or nightsweat. The room temp affects the success. It's summer and, although I have central air, sometimes it"s a bit warm (and my whole body temp is warmer) and the pad heats up faster. It also takes longer to cool down in that circumstance. That's why I'm glad I bought two. I don't fret about night sweats anymore. These are a good, affordable solution.
The best spots for me to place the pads are: back of my knees and under my feet.
