Haven't used them but want them. YouTube has a video of Brenda Mays talking about them and she likes to dunk hers in ice water first. I wish I had these last week when I was icing a leg everyday last week.

I agree they fall apart- I think the manufacturers state that they are supposed to last up to 20 uses? I only ever got mine to last two- such a dang good idea though, if only it worked like it is marketed to-
I tried one on my arm and it didn't stay cold for 10 min, for the money, I couldn't justify it
They are not meant to stay cold long. You don't even have to put them on cold. They are meant to draw heat from a leg. Put a room temp one on your arm. It will reduce heat.
