patsylabrador Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 For anyone who exercises, or who goes red just at the mention of a sunny day, or is menopausal or a myriad of reasons. I would imagine they'd be really useful if you have little kids. They're very light and pack away very small. You make them wet, wring them out and something in them causes them to go cold. I used mine this morning for the first time while I exercised and didn't go bright red. Also I pulled a muscle in my calf a few weeks ago which is taking it's time to stop hurting so I've currently got it tied round my leg. It really is helping. You may already know about these but I didn't so I think other people may not either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks for the heads up on these, PL. I did see some on a stand at the local Notcutts Garden Centre and had a look but I'm always a bit sceptical as to whether these things work (like all the JML products you see on stands in Boots etc!) so it's really helpful to hear from someone who has road tested one. I'll pop one in my basket the next time I am there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I got something similar for the dogs - bandannas though; they aren't normally affected by the heat, but last week was extreme. they seem to work very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookchat Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Very interesting product,do you think it would help to cool a broody down if she were wrapped in it and held for about 30 mins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Probably, especially if it was held against her abdomen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Good luck with that! Mine wouldn't stay still with humans for 5 mins let alone 30 even when broody! Hope it helps though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hot in Japan so they made a temporary baby bath in a cool bag. He looks so content. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookchat Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Yes on reflection the hen I am thinking of is a feisty madam that I have to approach wearing gloves because she attacks me when she is broody. Not one of my most brilliant ideas ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 I was hoping for November but I think it won't be until March. We can't wait to meet up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
