Best ice pack to grace the planet,
This is perhaps the best ice pack to ever grace the planet. It’s soft and flexible so that it molds to your shape, and just heavy enough that it stays in place easily. Definitely not just for backs — I’ve used it pretty much everywhere, since the size and flexibility of the material make it so easy to use. And unlike a lot of other ice pack brands, it doesn’t seem to absorb food odors from the freezer over time.
It also does an awesome job of cooling the bed down on hot summer nights. :)

Works great, but doesn’t last,
I agree with most of the positive reviews here about this product for its effectiveness, but I totally disagree with anyone who says this product’s durability is good. It does not “last forever” what a joke. I have purchased 4 of these, and all 4 have started leaking at the seam after about 6 months to 1 year of frequent gentle use. My wife uses them for headaches and backaches, on average she probably uses them every other day. We take excellent care of them, they still look brand new. When putting them in the freezer we fold them gently in half. When using them for headaches, she leaves it folded, and places it on her forehead. For her back she flattens it and lays on top of it, with it under the small of her back. Every one has started leaking. However, the location of the leaks are not at the fold, they are always in the seams at the side edge between the 2 outermost panels. The leaks have never been between the 2 center panels where it is folded. We never lay on top if it when its folded. The material doesn’t rip or tear, the seal between the two materials seems to open up. This leads me to believe that the manufacturing process to seal the two surfaces together is poor.

It works!,
I have used the Theramed products for a long time. My old cold pack for backaches lasted for years; but was flattening out. I researched and bought their new Back Coldpak. It has one side with a soft “fabric” surface that the patient can use straight out of the freezer. After a little while it can be switched to the other side to keep the cold therapy at maximum. I have trouble finding them at the stores so may have to buy another one as a “back-up” (pun intended.)
