I bought the 10 pack, based on the reviews.

It definitely worked great the first time I used one. It kept my head cool as I played tennis on a really hot day.

But the problem is, It never completely dries. I washed it, and put it in dryer, it never completely dries. Once the stuff inside soaks water/sweat, you can never get rid of it, and soon enough it starts to stink.

I had to painstakingly, slit a small hole in each of the 10, take out the chemical particles, and now I just use them as bandanas for sweat.

After dropping $40 on one of those Sharper Image Personal Cooling Systems and finding out that I would have been just as well off putting my money directly in a trash can, I stumbled upon these. They work very well and stay cool for several hours and stay wet for days. If it gets too warm, just pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes and you're good for a few more hours. Glad I bought them.

Soak these in water and place in the refrigerator until you are ready for them. They work great for visiting theme parks and other outdoor activities. When you are done, rinse thoroughly to remove sweat, and let them air dry. It takes 2 to 3 days for them to dry completely. Then you can store them until needed again. I would not put them in the washer and dryer.

These things work great - I put mine in a plastic cup with ice water and wring it out just before my workout at the gym. After one hour it still cools you down. Switch it to the other side and it gets even cooler ( kind of like turning your pillow over and it is cooler). Would definetely recommend.

I would recommend this product to others. My son works in a factory. It gets very hot. This product has helped him get through the heat.

First of all, these are not shaped like a typical bandana. But, they do puff up with water and stay wet for days. Be careful, they do get stinky if you don't let them air out. But don't expect them to get completely dry.

Bought these for summer trip to Disney with the kids as an extra way of staying cool. They were moderatley effective initially, absorbing water and stayed moist and cool reaosnably well for a few hours in the hot Florida sun. But they lost the cooling sensation if not the "wetness" factor. Resoaking them at the parks helped. After a couple of days though, they absorb a significant odor from body perspiration and such. I threw them out in the hotel at the end of the 6-day vacation. Not worth saving.

They do swell up in cold water, but you definitely have to do it for at least an hour and it helps to keep them in the refrigerator during that time. You also have to keep turning it to get the cool effect. I will use it when gardening because it's a little messy for good clothes.

I prepared the Bandana per instruction. I had them in the refrig over night for
the next day. That next morning I went to put the bandana on and some of the gel
beads were sticking out of the materal. I took those off and then put the bandana
around my neck. The coolnest only lasted maybe 20 minutes. I was very disappointed!
I went back to my stand by, which is a cold wash cloth that had been in the refrig
and it lasts at least an hour. I would never buy this product again.

This is a great product! Used it when very hot golfing...did not last for 4 1/2 hr round...but helped!
