Coach Deb Lawson showed me these, a new kind of reusable ice pack.
Highly recommended. No mess. No fuss. And very inexpensive. (Though I still like putting ice directly on the skin to maximize the cold as quickly as possible in serious cases.)
… Each pack measures 3.1 ” x 3.7 ” and contains a special, super absorbent material that soaks up water. You receive 864 packs on multiple sheets to customize for your use, for just $85.00. These packs are completely non-toxic.
Most ice packs on the market today contain Urea, a waste byproduct. These ice packs DO NOT contain waste byproducts! In addition, these ice packs do not release the water once they thaw out. No more water in the bottom of the cooler or leakage into food or on clothing. …
When done, just throw them back in the freezer until you’re ready to use them again. …
