The Original Headache Hat Wearable Ice Pack by Headache Hat

I had been enduring a non-stop migraine headache for several days. No pills worked. I coped with work only and only with this wearable ice pack. Important instructions - dos and donts - accompany the product, which makes it clear for how long its safe to use this pack.

If you get bad migraines or headaches are hot headed highly recommend this. I love that it wraps all the way around my head. It's a bit pricey, but after comparing it to other similar things on the market this worked best for me .

It’s a very nice cool hat which you can use on other painful parts of the body, due yo the Velcro fastening. However, the instructions included were all in French!

Mein Körper leidet im Sommer unter den hohen Temperaturen. Mir geht es dann oft sehr schlecht. Mit dieser Eispackung konnte ich diesen Sommer besser überstehen. Ich habe es teils als Stirnband bei Kopfschmerzen oder auch als Schal bei Überhitzungssymptomen genutzt. Es hat meine Körpertemperatur heruntergekühlt und hielt auch länger kühl als bisherige Kühlpacks. Das Beste daran ist der Klettverschluss, mit dem man durch die Gegend laufen oder entspannt sitzen oder liegen kann ohne dauernd ein rutschendes Kühlpack festzuhalten.

Really happy with this because it uses real ice (encased in plastic) rather than gel. Gel has a much lower freezing point than water, which means it melts really fast and within ten minutes, you need a new one. This one lasts for hours. It comes with 24 indivudually wrapped pieces of ice, spread out in three rows. It velcros in the back. The only thing I'd improve is to make one with only two rows of ice, which could be used as a migraine headband and be worn fashionably out of the house. They do make gel ones like that, but by the time you get anywhere, the gel is melted, and it's useless for migraines. I calculated how many of those I'd have to buy (even just by replacing the gel packs in the ones that open), and I quickly hit $500 for a few hours use and gave up that plan. I bought a bag of replacement cubes -- available on Amazon but advertised for coolers not as migraine headbands - so that I could go a whole day if I packed the cubes in a little cooler bag (and wasn't going to be seen by anyone but family.). They're a little trouble to switch in and out before you get the hang of it, but a lot cheaper than buying two of these, and the learning curve is quick. I can do a full change in a couple of minutes, then put the original ice cubes in the freezer to freeze and be ready when it's time to change the second set. This brand used to make headband versions, but they no longer do. I'm jealous of my friends who knew to buy them then. I hate the full-hat versions that cover even more than this one and which also often cover the eyes. I can put ona separate eye mask if I need one, but it's nice to be able to walk around the house when I'm able without being blinded by my ice pack. They also freeze a lot faster than the gel packs, which never actually freeze. The gel packs are favored because they're more flexible, but that comes at the expense of their not staying cold for more than 10 minutes. Individual one-inch by one-inch real ice mimics that flexibility.
