cooling apparatus

[Xvettech]

what do you guys think of this? I may try it if yous think it’s a good idea

[NorasMom]

I thought it looked like a great idea, but reading over the reviews I've had second thoughts. If you have a spare $23, it might be worth a try, but I don't think I'd waste my money. Use a wet rag instead.

[Xvettech in reply to NorasMom]

I am toying with the idea. I don’t know. Thanks for your input!

[BlanketTime1 in reply to Xvettech]

same, when i read reviews i decided to stick to my ice at pressure points and on top of my head.

[Xvettech in reply to BlanketTime1]

thank you so much! I’m not going to waste my money

[RoyceNewton]

I have one, not too bad but I am slack and do not use it enough, my fault nothing wrong with the product. I like me (I think) arctic cooler products better.

[Xvettech in reply to RoyceNewton]

thank you. I will check them out too!

[Xvettech in reply to Xvettech]

you mean those boxes?

[kdali]

I prefer ice packs or sticking my head in the freezer.

[Xvettech]

lol

[Xvettech]

I can’t carry a fridge with me

[falalalala in reply to Xvettech]

What about a mini fridge with a long extension cord??😅😅

[Xvettech in reply to falalalala]

they need to make them wireless! 😂

[falalalala in reply to Xvettech]

I'd opt for the cord as I hate getting lost.😆

[Xvettech in reply to falalalala]

that’s a great strategy! I always get lost! Believe it or not I got lost going around the block. How? 🤷‍♀️

[falalalala in reply to Xvettech]

😂😂

[Tazmanian in reply to Xvettech]

I have a frig that plugs into a cigarette lighter for use in a car

[Xvettech in reply to Tazmanian]

PARTY 🙂

[falalalala in reply to Tazmanian]

Just make sure to cut some eyeholes if you're driving.

[Xvettech in reply to falalalala]

indeed! Lol

[Robsmom]

I have one, I use it during exercising and just sitting at home.

[Xvettech in reply to Robsmom]

thank you!

[bulldogman]

My daughter has this item and uses when she is going to be out for extended times in sun. She also has MS works great for her.

[Xvettech in reply to bulldogman]

thank you

I have 2. Bought 1 last year. Then I’ve shared it with several more people. The last time I shared it they were on sale, so I bought another. They make different ones. Make sure you get the one that also blows air in the back (up on your neck/hairline) it really helps. Wish I received a commission on them.

[Xvettech in reply to SandraKOE]

thank you

I just bought two different models from Amazon. I used them both around the house for a few days and then decided which one I wanted to keep. I’ve tried using cooling scarves and they never stay cool for that long. I think this will have some usefulness. Especially, because my face always gets so hot when my body overheats.

[Xvettech in reply to Elizt3]

thank you

[falalalala]

It looks interesting.

It should come with winter blizzard sound effects to give one a psychological boost, along with actual cooling.ᵀᴹ 😂

I once saw choker style necklaces geared towards hot flashes.

They were large, plastic, colorful , rock-like shapes that one fills with water. Freeze them & suffer from a frozen jugular vein while looking fantastic!

Yabba dabba do!

[Xvettech in reply to falalalala]

lol!

[309Ygi]

yes yes I wear mine all the time 3 settings. I love mine

[Xvettech in reply to 309Ygi]

thank you

[NorasMom]

Now I think I need one of these for when I visit my mother's house. She refuses to use fans or AC. Is this brand that Xvettech is considering a good one? Those of you who have them, what kind did you get?

[Xvettech in reply to NorasMom]

good questions! I can’t wait to hear!

[NorasMom in reply to Xvettech]

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered the one you posted. It's supposed to be here tomorrow, so I'll let people know what I think of it after I test it out.

[Xvettech in reply to NorasMom]

yes please! Thank you and thank you for letting us all know!

[AquaZumbaFan]

my daughter was talking about getting me one last summer… I really feel like it’s not such a bad idea!

[Xvettech in reply to AquaZumbaFan]

did you get it? Is it helpful?

[AquaZumbaFan in reply to Xvettech]

I did not.. she was so worried about me being outside in the heat for her college graduation. We made it through though. I use some of the cooling supplies that you put in the freezer.. beloved mother in law has her house SO HOT and airless.. I must remember to bring those things to her house.. to help make it through

[Xvettech in reply to AquaZumbaFan]

I’m glad you made it through all!! Thank you.!

[AquaZumbaFan in reply to Xvettech]

Thanks.. I walked beside her in the procession without falling on my face.. that was REALLY HARD but everyone was supportive.. I got to “ flip her hood” in the ceremony

[Xvettech in reply to AquaZumbaFan]

congratulations to both!

[mrsmike9]

Huh. Never heard of this. It might be good when I'm riding my recumbent trike!

[Xvettech in reply to mrsmike9]

might be!

[Fancy59 CommunityAmbassador]

These are a great!I got one last summer and used it and it helped quite a bit. You still need to be careful though and know your heat limits. When the heat humidity gets very high nothing will protect you like using your common sense and limiting the time you spend in it. Fancy59.

[Xvettech in reply to Fancy59]

thank you! Was it this? I’m so terribly confused! I think it’s a good idea for when outdoors. Idk. I really don’t know!

[Mollyabigail]

Have you considered the weather and humidity where you live? I mean, it may be good if you are going to the mailbox. But if you are going to use it at a 9-inning baseball game in the deep south - I am guessing it will be blowing hot air?? Idk.

I ordered a cooling tube recently from Amazon, and from what I can tell, the ice melts after 15-18 minutes, but it freezes again at 18C (64F). I know 32F is freezing, but I have tested it! Mine freezes in front of a car a/c. It will last long enough for a (funeral) committal service we are expecting this summer in Mississippi.

So many choices!! Makes me a bit crazy. Good luck!

[Xvettech in reply to Mollyabigail]

thank you! I am in the northeast. I use to be able to handle it. I even lived in Florida for 10 years. I came home. To northeast. Now heat is horrible to me

[agate]

You do know that some MS organizationsregularly offers to send free cooling aids to people with MS? I've used some of these items at times when I lived in a place with no air conditioning, and they were helpful.
