Could I put a freezer cold pack on my shin & wrap this around my shin.

You would need to have a fabric protection between your shin & the cold pack to prevent frostbite.

The inserts are built into the shoulder wrap itself. Yes you keep it in the freezer and take it out when you're ready to use it. It stays cold for quite some time!! By the way: I highly recommend placing a towel between the wrap and your shoulder. I wear a long sleeve under-amour shirt myself to cover my shoulder and elbow

It should fit OK. There might be a small gap where the cool wrap will not cover part of your knee but the velcro straps should hold it in place. As I wrote in my review I think the design of the wrap is excellent. It's comfortable and I can walk around with it remaining in place. The only issue I have with it and to me it's a very big issue is that the wrap is not cold enough for my liking. It's just 'cool' even out of the freezer and it does not maintain the cool temperature for very long. If they just kept the same physical design and somehow allowed the wrap to reach colder temperatures (and hold those temperatures) then they would have an outstanding product It should fit OK.

Yes you can freeze them. The size is for the body and legs. I ordered the same size and they were wonderful.

I have not tried it like that, but I don't see why not, as long as you didn't fill it to full, and it didn't freeze to the bottom of your freezer. I am using mine right now, as I have a frozen shoulder, but I have ice in it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. It is a really nice bag.

yes. If you hear swishing around in there, it's not cold enough. Leave it in the freezer for at least 24 hrs. It takes a while.

Definitely but it won't last as long as an ice pack nor can you mold it to cover the area you need icing. My doctor uses it after a treatment to help speed the healing.

It stays cold for quite a while. I personally freeze it. Unless you're not wearing a lot of layers I'm not sure you'd be able to feel as much relief from the pack with just refrigeration. I will say you need to be careful about leaving it on too long- I once fell asleep with it on and woke up with minor frost bite on part of my leg that was directly exposed to the pack.

It depends on the food and the purpose. It insulates well so if it is frozen food; why not? It is thick and does not bend in tight corners so it would need to be a larger package, rather than wrapping something like a popsicle!

I wouldn't recommend it. The coating seems more like a polyurethane glaze and, unless it was submerged in the stuff, I doubt that the metal is impervious to the cold and moisture in a freezer. I would recommend something made of rubber, coated with an epoxy substance or a freezer-suitable plastic for such use.

The knee wrap has 5 compartments and each compartment contains an ice pak. Each compartment has a Velcro closure so ice paks can easily be removed so the wrap itself can be washed or if so desired one can remove the ice paks for freezing. Personally I would leave the ice paks in the wrap and freeze the whole thing - since I had space to do so. I do not know if one can purchase more ice paks. The provided ice paks freeze more quickly than others and in my case the frozen wrap would go on my knee for the required amount of time then right back in the freezer. By the time I needed it again it would be frozen. Spouse works in health care. This is one of the best wraps we've found. The knee wrap has 5 compartments and each compartment contains an ice pak.

I don't see why not if you're using glass jars. However, if you really want to preserve the nutrition freezing is the best way.

I am so sorry, i just saw this. I have not really worn it under anything, but my guess is; not a good idea unless rather loose. The wrap itself is amazingly compact and efficient; but does add girth. I may be impractical for other reasons including the cold/heat is only effective for a while, then you'll just have a bulky wrap not really doing anything unless you swap the packs.

10-20 minutes. With the compression it'll feel colder than it really is. Put a thin towel like a washcloth on your leg so that the ice pack isn't directly on your skin your first time to determine your tolerance.

Personally, I think it would be somewhat difficult to wrap this around your shoulder, I suppose you could try depending on just where the ice needed to be but it really is meant for a knee or possibly a elbow because of its strait design.

This wrist wrap is not meant to be worn while doing any activity that you would be using the muscles in your wrist and hand if you are using it as a cold wrap. The cold wrap helps with inflammation from over use and stress to the muscles, by using these muscles while you are wearing this wrap could actually over stress the muscle and injure yourself. When you use these muscles your pumping blood to them while the wrist wrap is trying to take blood away from that area to decompress and take away inflammation. For best results use the wrist wrap while not doing anything to engage those muscles, I recommend using the wrap after a work day or after doing an activity that inflames that area. I don't recommend using the wrap hot or cold while doing an activity to engage those muscles, it will be most effective while using it after an actively that engages those muscles.

No. The strap isn't long at all and I'm fairly thin so I would not buy it if you need to wrap it around your hip and thigh. It is very good however if you are lying down or just applying to to the areas you need. I guess what i'm saying is that it's a great ice pack, but that's as far as it goes.
