Is it still nice to use if you don't have access to a fridge? In other words, is a room-temperature eye pillow worth buying?

I've never put mine in the fridge. I do have larger herbal pillow packs that can be used hot or cold, but I only use this room temp, which is, for me, more relaxing.

Yeah, I've never used the fridge. Mine has been at room temperature since I got it, and it still fragrant and relaxing. That's the joy of lavender. :)

I keep it in my fridge. When I use it I put it under a light comforter, otherwise it's too cold to come in direct contact with my body. It stays cool enough for an hour or two, depending on how hot my body is. I have Erythromelalgia and sometimes my body is extremely hot in the evenings.

I dont keep it n refridge. Maybe not good idea. But I however, have a desk with a cubby whole in it, n I keep all my vitamins n there. Away from direct sunlight. If u have a medicine cabinet or u can even put it in your food cabinets in the kitchen. But I make sure wherever I keep it, is away from the sun, n its a dry place. I have no issues with this vitamin. This stuff is the REAL DEAL!!!. if it lost its effect, id know. Cool dry place away from sun. Ain't gotta be dark, but just away from the sun. My desk is in my room. N I open the curtains to let sin in, but not on the pills.

You soak the pillow in water to cool it, store it in the fridge when not in use, and it fits in a gallon zip bag. Mine does warm up some after a few hours use. I have ordered a 2nd one to swap during the night as needed. This pillow has really helped me stay cool at night.

Try the imak eye pillow (it is on Amazon). It will work much better for what you want.

I was told by my physician to keep them refrigerated. I did that and would only take one out to use immediately. With this process, I had no problem whatsoever. I would not freeze these suppositories, but would definitely refrigerate them. In response to any better way to buy, I would say that they're available at drugstores, but cost approximately $4.00 more than the amazon price.

I refrigerate it after opening but when I travel it's obviously not staying cold and it's still as good & effective. So does it "need" to be refrigerated, preferably YES, but a few day's w/o refridgeration wont hurt it based on my many years of using this wonderful supplement. Hope this helps.

I would suggest against it. The directions should probably include something about not microwaving the pads. What I've always done is heat water to a boil and slide the pillows into the boiling water, leaving it in until they have cooked between 7 and 10 minutes. They will have lost their stiffness inside and can be reused once they've cooled enough. All I can think about microwaving the pillows, is all the times we've cut a plastic bag to microwave the dinner we are going to eat hot. So even the food we are going to eat will not be too cold.

works that way for me. The only downside i notice is on cold days, the nut sack is refrigerated beyond comfort.

The Koolatron works very well for me. It is not a refrigerator however, a very good cooler without the ice is a better way to describe it. Keeping it full with cold stuff and not opening it too frequently will help too. Bottom line for the money it can't be beat. Get the longer cord too.

On a typical basis, I take them out of the fridge and run them in the machine without waiting. I never thought about the affect of room temp or not. :)

Yes. If it is plugged in, it is a cool as a fridge. If unplugged overnight, have ice packs in the cooler and a blanket on top of the lid for insulation and your food will stay cold and fresh for the next day. If concerned, put a thermometer in it.

I put them in the freezer when we're taking long trips and will need extra insulin. Fridge would be fine for keeping it from getting warm on hit days. Sometimes I only use one freezer pack

I personally use an artificial ice pack (Nordic Ice) and keep it in an insulated lunch bag with a little newspaper covering it. Then if your motel or hotel has a freezer in a room refrigerator just refreeze it. Otherwise it will last a couple of days easy.

If the intended use is Astronomy or star gazing, then yes, these can be used at night. When moving from either a heated (winter) or air conditioned (summer) interior, allow the optics time to acclimate to the external air temperature to prevent fogging. This generally takes at least 30 minutes, and by then, your eyes will be well adjusted for night vision, making for an enjoyable experience.

That's a very good question, however, I'm not quite sure if this is possible. I know for sure you can use any natural tea bags rest the tea bags of your kind under your eyes for 20 minutes day or night. That could help big time!

I would think you could. It really doesn't have to go on your pillow, per se. The filling in it is pretty cool on its own and grabs the heat from your body and dissipates in through the pad. So, I guess any body part can come in contact with it, not just your head.Using the pad, as is, under your pillow, is probably not going to offer much coolness. However, if you froze the pad first, it seems like under the pillow would work. My husband put it in the fridge about 20 minutes before bed, then slides it in his pillowcase, on top of the pillow, but under the case.
