Earlier this year I had such a horrible cough that I dislocated a rib. OUCH! This gel pack really helped because I was able to use a gallon size freezer bag and wrap it around my ribcage. I used a few drops of blue food coloring so everyone would know what it was when they opened the freezer. Thanks for posting this!!

After knee surgery, we needed an ice pack for my airedale mix dog. This worked out perfect as it would conform to her leg.

Just had to try this when I saw the recipe. I've been having knee trouble and this worked great! I came here to leave the tip to freeze and then put in the vacuum sealer and you had all beat me to it!! lol.. But I also did something a little different. I folded a cotton dish towel and inserted it into the bag along with the water and alcohol. I froze it flat on the shelf in the freezer and it works great. It's very flexible, too.

This is awesome...DH had a toothache, and we didn't have an ice pack. He was a bit whiney saying that ice wouldn't help it, but...who would've thought that I was right! =) Was soft enough to gently mold to his face...toothache was gone in no time! I added blue food coloring to make it easier to find in the fridge. Thanks for posting this!
