Summary: Useless
Comment: This item just does not get cold enough or hot enough to be at all useful. I should have returned it.

Summary: Carex Buddy Wrap
Comment: This wrap does not work! It doesn't get cold at all. I have had multiple knee surgeries and was looking for something I could travel with and put in small freezers at the office or in the hotel. I sent this back. Check at Target or Walgreens for a similar version with a removable sleeve that you can wash. It has a mud base and gets cold and stays cold for almost an hour. I wouldn't recommend this product.

Summary: fine product
Comment: not so excellent as a cold pack, but fine as a hot pack. flexible material that you can put around neck, joints, or ankles~

Summary: Simply does not make a functional cold wrap.
Comment: I have recently developed tendonitis in my wrist as a result of training in the martial art Aikido, in addition to other exercise. The cold packs I could find locally were such a disappointment- they were gel packs that could work as both hot and cold packs, but they were always thick and bulky, and because of their thick bulk wouldn't wrap around my entire wrist. I remember my mom having a cold pack that was maybe 4"x12" and about 1/3rd of an inch thick. That was a perfect cold wrap, one which had the "turning radius" to go around a wrist without getting bunched up and covering maybe half of my wrist.
Anyway, I agonized over this, spending long sleepless nights looking through Amazon, trying to find a Prime eligible item that would do what I needed. Then I found the Carex Bed Buddy, and I was quite excited- it looked like the perfect wrist/joint wrap, had good dimensions and a great price, the two pack was cheaper than many other single hot/cold wraps.
Fast forward, open the box. I'm immediately suspicious- instead of a thin gel or clay filled pad like I was expecting, it is a sack of a few parallel tubes containing rice or some heat-absorbing polymer. I tried making it cold, as per the directions, and it didn't work at all- it was about as cold as a pair of socks put through the same treatment. Didn't try the hot pack version, but I've no need to, and as soon as I gave it a few cool down tests, I decided I was going to return the item to Amazon.
The design is nice. A little bulky for a wrist, but the velcro holds well and you can get a good compression going on- it doesn't budge or slip off, or feel unevenly distributed. A shame that it doesn't work as a cold pack- if they did, I'd recommend these wholeheartedly.
Be forewarned- as a hot pack, this might work- reviews seem mixed on the Bed Buddy products Carex makes these days, some people like it and others don't. For me, the whole Carex line is worthless, as all I need is a few good cold packs for joint problems.

Summary: GREAT PRODUCT!!
Comment: I first heard about these from a friend who is in a wheel chair. His Dr. told him to use these for his various aches and pains. I am pretty active and a fireman, so I tend to get sore from time to time. Heat is a great way to help with many pains and ailments and this item works fast and well. Very conforming and helpful. Highly recommended.
