Magic Gel Ice Pack for Back Pain Relief | 2 Pack Reusable Lower Back Wrap for Hot or Cold Therapy | Relief for Lower Lumbar, Sciatic Nerve, Herniated or Degenerative Disc, Coccyx, Tailbone Pain

This ice pack is a life saver at the end of my work shift each evening. I’ve recently been experiencing lumbar pain/ache/fatigue and this, coupled with ibuprofen, really works wonders for me. It’s very soothing after chiropractic adjustments as well.I love that there are 2 ice packs so even if you forget to put it back in the freezer, you’re not stuck in a lurch the next day. It stays cold for a solid 30 minutes and is quite versatile. It could be used to ice other body parts as well. It’s well constructed and decently priced. 10/10 would buy again.

I bought my first Magic Gel belt Feb 2023. I just bought another one (Sept 2024) so the belt & ice packs work for a long time. I fully expect this one will last another year & a half. I use this belt on my hips & lower back all day, every day. It's very adjustable. I like that I can wear it more on one hip or the other, on my lower back & even higher up on my back...wherever I'm hurting the most at the time. I also like that this belt is quick & easy to take on & off.While I'm wearing one ice pack, the other is in the freezer. I usually wear leggings & a t-shirt so I hang a folded dish towel on the inside of the belt to temper the cold then pull it out as the pack gets more comfy. When it loses its cool, I switch & the other pack is ready to roll. On average, I switch these 2 ice packs 3 to 4 times a day (using each pack 2x). It totally helps to keep the pain meds to a minimum.When I leave the house I'm wearing one ice pack so I put the extra one in a small cooler between some similar-sized generic ones so I can switch them out all day long while I'm on the go. It is important to point out that I don't wear this belt at night. That's just not a good idea but PM is when I use the hands-down best roll-on that has msm (absorbs the med & smell into the muscle in <30 seconds) & glucosamine that absolutely DOES Stopain (that's not a typo)..SKIP THIS PART IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW WELL THIS BELT WORKS ON SEVERE PAIN. So I have severe sciatic entrapment in BOTH hips. I was born with it. It's inoperable. The sciatic nerve is webbed with the piriformis & gluteus medius muscles. All 3 are pulling in different directions. The forces were torquing up my spine. Nobody believed me until I needed a lumbar fusion because the deformity was literally twisting my L5 & L4 vertebrae around. The fusion fixed my lower back but locked the forces down in my hips causing agony there. That gave me an answer right there so I found an awesome hip doc who found the problem & has had to surgically tack my left gluteus medius back onto my hip because it was tearing away from the bone (which feels like a red-hot knife stabbing you). Believe it or not, the fusion was way easier to get over than the hip surgery.TMI? Too bad because for no darn reason, I had an L1 fracture a year ago & I don't even have osteoporosis. That caused L2 & L3 bulging discs & significantly narrowed foramen (holes) where the sciatic nerve exits the spine that are now severely pinching the nerve. So now I have severe sciatic pain from pulling AND pinching...yeah, me! I'm scheduled for a fusion on a fusion where all of that extra pain-causing stuff will be repaired & stabilized later this month by the same great fusion doc as before. I'm counting down the days until I ONLY have the hip pain that I was born with, LOL.Now it makes perfect sense why I could NOT do splits to try out for cheerleading in high school. Why it got too painful to ride my horse. Why I couldn't ride behind my hubby on a motorcycle so I got my own. Squatting pain & not being able to lean forward to ease the pain is a big clue that you have some kind of piriformis issue. Aqua therapy wasn't helpful because all I wanted to do was bend forward in 4 feet of water, blub-blub. Many years, quacks & expensive tests later, my hip doc found this deformity on, are you ready? An X-RAY! Where's an eye-rolling emoji when you need one?Told you that you might learn something. If not you, maybe this info will help someone you know. I hope this gem of a belt helps you as much as it helps me!

I actually love this belt BUT the velcro quit holding the two sides together. I use it around my hips for SI joint pain.It did great for awhile and I have been trying to use it by holding 2 sides together with another strap. That is not working.I am buying it one more time and hoping the belt works better. The 2 ice packs are great and comfortable.

This was an absolute lifesaver after my lumbar surgery. The material is very comfortable, and I would forget I was wearing it half the time! The Velcro will attach anywhere on the straps, so you can easily adjust it for large or small areas. Having two ice packs meant that I could alternate them and not have to wait for one to refreeze. They also freeze up very quickly! I’ve recommended it to others already!

The size of this pad works out great for myself and my husband to use. Large area coverage. We mostly use it as an ice pad but like the versatility to use heated as well. Great for moving around without being stuck laying down. Grabbed one for my parents as well.

After a couple of weeks of he a y use, the belt that holds the gel pack is still in like-new condition. I returned a competitor's belt that frayed on the first use.It's handy to have two cold/hot packs, but it's not critical because they stay cold/hot for 20+ minutes - longer than I keep it applied. Plenty of belt if you're chubby.Highly recommended.

This thing is a lifesaver. I have bursitis in my hip that even a cortisone shot could fix. When it gets inflamed I'm able to wear this so that it covers it. It stays nice and cold long enough for the other pack to freeze. I'm so glad that I spent the money for myself. It was well worth it. Works great on my back too! The only problem is that I'm a 2x and it barely fits around me, which I was concerned about. If they could make it in a longer size, that would be awesome.

The picture shows that this goes around the lower back. I could not get it to stay around my lower back. It kept riding up to my waist. I finally just un-Velcro’s it and put it where I wanted it when I was sitting only.Every time I got up to go do something, though. I had to leave it in my chair. If I left it Velcro closed around my lower back, as I was walking around, it just rode up to my waist. Reurned
