IceBeanie Migraine Relief Cap, As Seen on Shark Tank, Soft & Stretchy Gel Tension Headache Relief Cap, Extended Cooling Hangover Ice Hat, Odorless Cold Head Ice Pack Wrap, Headache Hat Migraine Mask

I’ve been dealing with migraines and tension headaches for years, and this cap has been a total game changer. It’s made of a soft, stretchy material that fits snugly without feeling too tight. The cooling gel provides even coverage around my entire head, especially the forehead, temples, and neck—exactly where I need relief.It stays cold for a surprisingly long time, and I love that it doesn’t leak or have any strange smell like some other ice packs I’ve tried. It’s easy to store in the freezer and ready to use whenever I feel a headache coming on. I’ve even used it after long days to just relax and decompress.If you’re looking for a natural, comfortable way to manage head pain or stress, this is definitely worth trying.

When they say it relieves headaches and tension they're not kidding. This thing really works!! It's like a comfortable ice pack for your head. Definitely worth the purchase!!

Update: Customer service did send me a replacement, although it took a while-- after I sent them the pictures shown here, and they had agreed to replace the beanie, and confirmed my shipping address on October 12, I had to contact them again on October 29 as I still had not received the replacement. At that time they seemed to indicate that they hadn't yet "initiated" a replacement... I received the replacement beanie a couple days later. Regarding the leakage, I was told "Sometimes during Amazon shipping the product can become compromised and damaged." I'm not sure if that's accurate/possible, but they were willing to work with me to ensure my customer satisfaction.Having used the original beanie (with substituted ice packs for broken top pack as I previously mentioned, below) for 12 chemo rounds now (30 mins or less per time), I find the stitching has come undone along one seam- easy fix, but this product still needs some tweaking for that and with the ice packs. I do like how the beanie fabric stretches to better enable you to get it on when it's frozen/rigid, and to keep the cold close to the scalp, though the seams may need greater reinforcement to ensure longevity of use. It would also be good if the pockets for the ice packs had a Velcro closure rather than just slightly overlapping fabric (I tried to show this barely 1 cm overlap in picture) as the fabric is floppy and after removing and then replacing the packs while the beanie is inside out, it doesn't hold them in well when inverting it to then put the beanie in the freezer.An option for a beanie without the ponytail/back of head gap in coverage would also be good, and not just for chemo use-- when I get a migraine it is often caused by/related to the muscles at the base of my skull and icing there helps me. Turning the beanie around doesn't work so great because then the Velcro closure part is pressing into your forehead. The ice packs, once frozen, are very hard/non-pliable so some of them freeze in wonky positions when placing the cap in freezer folded in half, so they're not very comfortable if a part isn't flat and is pressing against your head... I really like the IceKaps brand gel packs because they are much more pliable when frozen, so I almost think using those in the beanie is better than what comes with it currently (at least for my purposes with cold-capping trying to get whole head cold).Overall, I think I would still have purchased the IceBeanie as the fabric is more pliable and the product is less expensive than the IceKaps, but for my purposes I have used both and each gets the job done ok with some improvisation- if you can afford the IceKaps, I'd lean towards them for cold-capping because of the colder ice packs. I have also used the NEWGO migraine hat- reviewed that product separately on Amazon, too. I still have not had any hair loss, and have 4 more chemo treatments with different drugs, so I am hoping to continue that good fortune! 🤞Original review:I bought this with several other cold cap products (e.g. including 3 of the IceKaps brand) to use in rotation for "cold-capping" during my weekly chemotherapy infusion treatments to try and prevent/reduce hair loss from the drug Taxol, which is commonly used for breast cancer treatments. Well, so far I've had virtually no hair loss beyond usual shedding, which is great, BUT, when I went to replace the non-frozen gel packs in their hat pockets in preparation for next week's treatment (after letting all the packs and hat melt/dry out from my treatment earlier this week) I found one of the packs had two holes from which gel was leaking out. :( And the holes weren't directly on seams which I find is usually how ice packs (though usually much older/more used!) deteriorate/break/leak; the holes looked as if the plastic had cracked while it was frozen; not sure how else it would have happened as it's not like they were under pressure or poked, roughly handled, etc? I've only used the beanie 6 times, wearing it for less than 30 minutes each time, and while it works great in general, it is very disappointing to find part of it is now unusable/ needing to be replaced with an alternative cold pack though finding a long narrow pack is not an easy task- fortunately, the IceKap has such packs for its use and I was able to purchase spare packs for that product separately-- not so with the ice beanie, at least not that I could find. While half the price of the IceKap, it appears the ice beanie isn't as durable. And I had to add an ice pack to the back ponytail area (wearing it under the ice beanie) since for my purposes I don't want a large portion of my head without ice coverage) but had to do the same with the IceKaps due to similar structures.I contacted customer service and am hoping to get a replacement pack; also hoping no more packs leak! I'm barely halfway through my treatments! I will update if I hear back from customer service and they hold true to their 100% guarantee (despite their website saying they can't refund/replace products 30+ days after purchase, just like Amazon.

The material is amazing. Even without putting in the fridge the hat is already cold. I love it because that is so easy to use and so comfortable. It is a simple, safe way of dealing with migraines. tiredness, stress, or simple headache or sight tiredness due to screens etc. It fits perfectly in my head and also in my husbands head size.Recommended 100% .

I never tried something like this before but found that it stays cold, fits good.. Helps relieve headeaches. Would reccommend.

I have constant sinus headaches and keep seeking something other than hot washcloths for relief. The IceBeanie is very similar to at least a dozen gel-filled foam caps that fit over the head. It is better than most of those in two ways. First, it has only one seam on the main headband. Most of the gel-filled caps have two. Whenever there is a seam, there is no heat, there are two edges that tend to become hotter than the main body of the hood, and at the seam the cover fabric is more vulnerable to blistering or tearing after a month or two of frequent use. Secondly, it is more comfortable than most of the other pain relief hoods I have tried.Negatives: 1. Its major claim to fame is that unlike every other pain relief hood that I have seen, it has a top cover that makes the hood more like a winter ski cap than a strange open ended circle. However, this top cap did not contribute in any way to treating my facial and forehead pain, and it is attached to the main headband in a way that looks vulnerable to damage after a month or two of constant use.2. The box and Amazon written description states that for heat therapy, place the hood in a microwave for 10 seconds. I hoped this meant that the IceBeanie had some special proprietary gel filling that heated up much faster than the 50-60 seconds all the others I have used. Sadly, 10 seconds is not sufficient to bring the IceBeanie up to a therapeutic level of heat. As with all other gel-filled pain treatment hoods, in my microwave it takes the same 50 to 60 seconds (when at room temperature). My problem with that is there is a clear inference on the package and in the written Amazon description that it only takes 10 seconds to bring this product to a therapeutic temperature. False.3. As with most but not all pain relief hoods I have tried, this cap fully covers the ears, with the same level of heat as over the face and forehead. Especially if using the hood through 2 or 3 microwave heatings to achieve a 15 to 20 minute relief session, that amount of heat becomes painful. One gel cap I have tried has a cutout to avoid the ears, similar to cutouts for the nose on many pain relief caps.Final comment. When heating a pain-relief hood, I find it important to turn the hood over half way through the microwave heating process. This is a step that may be obvious to some, but several of the hoods I have have tried, from Amazon and elsewhere, do not give that simple yet critical instruction.Also, every gel-filled hood that I have tried retains a therapeutic level of heat for only about 5 to 7 minutes, just a little longer than a hot washcloth, and if you re-heat the cap before it has fully cooled to room temperature, much less microwave time is required on each side. Again this may be obvious to some, but finding the right amount of time for re-microwaving during longer treatment sessions can be a a matter of trial and error. Caution: putting an overheated gel-filled cap on the head can cause serious burns & pain. And on most of this type of cap, any edge tends to get a little hotter than the main body. Be careful picking them up, and watch your ears.

We spend a lot of time in Florida and the hot sun really does a number on my wife's head even with a hat on. This is a game changer. She wears it outside to work on her landscaping and it really keeps her head cool.
