Hi


Looking to purchase some reusable ice packs on Amazon.

What kind of ice packs did you guys use?

I see some vasectomy. Wonder if those would be good as well.

Thanks

I used frozen peas, got 4 bags, helped a ton

My local big box store doesn't carry the old school ice cube style anymore. I wanted the ice cube style so the cold water would conform to my body. My fridge dispenses large or nugget cubes so I could pack a lot of ice in it.

The hospital sent me home with one. At the last minute the nurse gave me a spare. I only used the first one. Despite it being a cheap disposable design it worked great for the few days that I needed it.

Remember, you're usually advised to move from icing to heat at some point in your recovery. I used my cheap Walmart heating pad more than the ice packs.

You mentioned vasectomy. If the ice packs are wide enough to reach your sack then that style should work. I wouldn't be willing to pay extra for something fancy that I'd only use for a few days.

As has been mentioned, something shaped like a one pound plastic bag of beans works fine. Even frozen peas or corn works. This isn't a space launch complicated type thing. Cheap & easy works.

Good luck.
