Migraine Gel Head and Neck Ice Hat by FOMI Care | Top and Side of Skull Plus Cervical Cold Coverage | Wearable Cranial Cap for Headache, Sinus, Chemo, Stress, Pressure Pain Relief

This ice helmet is a great tool in my migraine arsenal. I've found it works best if you freeze the ice packs separately, and then put in when ready to use. It will take a few minutes for them to loosen up, but once they do, it will conform nicely to your head, and you can use your hands to apply pressure to spots that really need the ice treatment.One thing I wish they'd included was a properly seamed hole for a ponytail. I was able to open one of the seams at the back of the head to serve this purpose, so my long hair could be out of the way.I find the ice packs included stay cold for a useful period of time.Overall, very happy with this purchase.

The gel packs freeze HARD - they are not pliable to head shape when cold, which is more painful than the headache. The neck portion freezer pack doesn't pull out through the too-small opening created for the purpose. The cap is really SMALL. I have a smaller than average head size, and it didn't even reach my forehead. The whole thing is really heavy. The gel packs need to be soft, and much lighter weight. The whole design is an utter disaster.

This has been such a wonderful thing! The ice packs it comes with don’t stay cold long enough for me so I put bags of frozen peas or bags of nugget ice in the pockets instead. I need the sides the most and don’t even use the neck/shoulder part. I also don’t have to Velcro the neck normally and it stays in place. Oh also the picture is of someone wearing it with no ice packets at all. You will look a fool but not feel one of your head hurts like mine.

Covers the the neck and skull area very nicely and comfortably. It does fit nicely with my head, however it was uncomfortable on first use. It had required me to remove the ice packs and freeze them outside the hat in a flat way, otherwise the ice packs would freeze in awkward shapes, which would lead to discomfort when placed back inside the hat. However when you are able to get through that process, everything works fine.

As the other poor reviews mention this is not an ice pack for migraines. The ice packs are thin and lumpy and only best used when half thawed. Even if you take them out and freeze the flat they are still uncomfortable and difficult to put back in. None of these issues you can deal with when you are having a migraine or vertigo. You need something you can grab and wear to help ride out the episodes. Not fumble with and just create more stressAlso thaws quicker than other wraps/packs I use.If you suffer from migraines this is not a helpful solution!

I would like to say that the best part of this product is the pad on the back of the neck which works more effectively than the other cooling pads especially when laying on your back. I feel the other parts move around too much and am constantly trying to re-position myself to get more coverage around my whole head. It would also help if you had a Velcro strap in a different place with an extra cold gel/pad that hugs the bottom and sides of your chin. I’m surprised that this product moves around on my head so much in knowing that I have a larger than average sized head. Also, I haven’t found a way to remove the pads to be able to wash the cloth part of it. I would suggest some extra coverage on the back of the neck, and on the temples as well and possibly some type of adjustable fastener that allows to apply however much pressure you would like especially on the temples, without feeling lob-sided if you decide to lay down with it. Although I am not necessarily all that satisfied with this product, I appreciate that you even thought to make such a thing. I randomly looked it up one day just to see if it even existed. So, thank you for that.-Luke

I absolutely love this product. I haven't used this for a migraine, but I have used it for your run of the mill headache and it works like a charm. I hate taking medications, so this was a night alternative. When I use this, I usually don't have to take an OTC pain reliever. It fits great on my head and is actually comfortable to wear. My husband made fun of me for using it, but he has since tried it for his headache and he doesn't make fun of me anymore because he loves it! I chose this particular one over some of the other headache "hats" because it has cervical (neck) coverage which most of the other ones don't. My headaches often extend down to the neck, so coverage of this area was important to me.

The best ice helmet that stays cold for those rough migraine days.
