REVIX Large Leg Ice Pack Reusable, Gel Ice Wrap with 3 Straps for Leg, Hip, Thigh, Knee and Shin, Cold Compress Therapy for Post-Workout Recovery, Navy

Best thing after complete knee replacement

I was in a car crash a month ago and have been in recovery. My left knee, shin, and ankle require a cold compress. I was managing with ice packs, but I could never get the entire area at once. I took a risk and bought this. It is large enough to cover wide range of leg sizes in my opinion. I weigh 150lbs, 5'6'' and wear a size 9-10 in women's pants. My legs are pretty thick. I was happy that this not only covered the top of my leg to my ankle but also curved the sides of my leg too. There are 3 straps to secure it around your leg wherever you desire to place it. The straps are stretchy and have velcro on the ends. The velcro is large enough to feel secure. What I loved about this icepack is that you can raise it to your hip and strap it around your hips to fully secure it. I did try walking with it around my house and it does not slip down. It is slightly bulky but I expected that. It comes with a large Ziplock type bag to store the cooling leg pad in while you put it in your freezer. The instructions say that it should be in the freezer for 6 hours for the entire leg cooling pad to be effective. The inside of the leg cooling pad is felt-type fabric. Very soft and you definitely feel the cold temp through the fabric but it doesn't feel wet, or soggy (compared to ice packs). It's nice for the initial shock of the cold compress. I would say this lasts about 20 minutes (as described in the booklet). I also know I wouldn't want to go over this time limit to avoid cold burns. You know when to remove it because the inside felt-fabric does get warm because of your body temperature. The outside is every easy to clean if you want too. Just grab a towel and wipe of the condensation but I don't do that. I just throw it in the bag and put it in the freezer. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase. It has helped reduce my pain throughout the day. So far I've gotten 2 uses out of it during a 24 hour day (because of how long I need to put it in the freezer). But if you put it in the freezer while you're at work, and then come home and strap it on, it really helped to reduce my inflammation, swelling, and pain. I really don't have any complaints with this. I recommend this for those who are experiencing aches, pains, inflammation in your leg, knee, ankle, shin, or hips.

Well made and comfortable! It is worth the money!

If I could give more stars, I would! I used this for relief from nerve pain down my entire leg. I could not wrap the regular, flat large ice pack around and get it to stay put, so I purchased this one with just medium expectations. Expectations exceeded. It stays cold for hours and is very comfortable, I use it at bedtime. The straps allow it to be adjusted easily. The fabric is smooth and keeps your skin from ice burn or being uncomfortably too cold. It cleans up easily, just wipe it down.

I bought for a friend and she loves it
