I saw some folks saying this doesn't stay cold for an hour, but you really need to understand how this works! My doctor told me you should only ever ice a joint for 20 minutes at a time anyway. This ThermaJoint sleeve stays wonderfully cold for exactly that 20 to 30-minute sweet spot. At first, you feel the deep chill, and after 10 minutes, your body simply adjusts to it so it doesn't feel like burning ice but trust me, the cold is still penetrating deep into the joint. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

I have tried so many wraps that slip right down to my ankles the second I get up to put the kettle on. The trick with this one is simply following their size chart. I took the time to measure my thigh, ordered the Medium, and it stays put beautifully. It acts as a gentle compression sleeve that holds everything together while delivering the cold. It doesn't stretch out or get baggy after a week of use either. Just get the right size and you’ll be thrilled.

When you first slip it on, yes, it is brisk! But that is the therapeutic cold going to work on the inflammation. If you have sensitive skin like my wife Eleanor, simply pull it over a thin pair of trousers or a light towel for the first five minutes. We both use it now. It beats the old bags of frozen peas that would leak water all over my recliner. It’s a clean, dry cold that really numbs the aches of old age.

I bought one of those fancy packs with three different ice inserts and a dozen Velcro straps. My hands are too stiff with arthritis to be fussing with all of that, and it always left gaps around the sides of my knee. This just slides right up the leg. It hugs the entire joint, front, back, and sides. I don't see any of these "gaps" people talk about; it surrounds the knee perfectly and gives you a wonderful, even cooling sensation everywhere it hurts.

At my age, I’ve been through my fair share of ice packs that end up splitting at the seams and leaking gooey blue gel all over the freezer. You can tell immediately that this is made of high-quality, sturdy material. The fabric is incredibly soft against the skin, and the gel feels very secure inside the casing. I keep two in the freezer inside their protective bags so I always have one ready when my joints act up in the afternoon.

I got this after a bad fall, hoping just to use it in my armchair. To my surprise, the compression is so good that I can actually walk around the house with it on. No, you aren't going to go run a marathon in it, but I can comfortably walk to the kitchen or check the mail while getting my cold therapy. It saves me from feeling stuck on the sofa all day.

The nights are usually the hardest for my knee pain. I used to lay awake just throbbing. I hesitated to spend the money on this, but my goodness, it is worth its weight in gold. I slip it on about an hour before bed, let the cold soothe the swelling down, and for the first time in years, I can actually get to sleep. You can’t put a price tag on a good night's rest. Thank you for making a product that actually helps us older folks.

I am a larger man and was worried pulling this up over my calf and knee every single day would ruin the elastic. I've been using it twice a day for a month now and it snaps right back into shape. It provides a very comforting squeeze, not so tight that it cuts off circulation, but snug enough to make the knee feel supported. It is a very well-made piece of equipment.

My husband has been suffering terribly with his knees, and icing them used to be such a chore. Trying to wrap wet towels around ice cubes... it was a mess. I ordered this for him and it is a blessing. It is so soft, requires absolutely zero effort to put on, and gives him instant relief. He actually sighs when he pulls it on. We ended up buying a second one so he can do both knees at the same time! Highly recommend to any seniors out there dealing with joint pain.
