Magic Gel Migraine Ice Head Wrap - Real Migraine & Headache Relief | The Original Headache Cap | Cold, Comfortable, Dark & Cool; Endorsed by Physicians, Loved by Thousands - Purple

This thing works so well in cooling my head down when I’m having a bad migraine. I literally bought a second one because of how awesome it is. Fits my head just fine, and stays in place very well. Since it’s kinda like an ice pack, you can use it for different areas like your arm or chest for example, if you wanted. I’ve used it on the back of my neck as well as my chest once my head cools off. Loveee this!

I bought this cap to help with migraines. A cold cloth or ice pack when you have a migraine can offer some relief but they either don't get cold enough or stay cold long enough. I found this item during a search for an alternative and after reading the reviews decided to give this a go. After using this cap with several migraines I have mostly wonderful things to say about it and only a few minor negatives.Pros:This thing gets cold and I mean freezing cold and it will stay cold for at least an hour. When I go to bed with a migraine, this thing is cold long enough for me to go to sleep. The cap is also a snug fit which is a great bonus because the tightness of the cap applies pressure which when combined with the cold is a winning combo! The cap is sectioned out in squares and inside each square is an ice cube which can be moved or pushed to the area that is hurting. The ice cubes are hard but not so hard that you can't lay down on them. I can use this cap sitting in a chair or sleeping in bed and I never have to fear it will fall off!Cons:The cap will probably freeze your eyeballs! No matter how you put the cap on, there is always an ice cube close to your eyes. If you headache is coming from your eyes then this is a good thing but if you are experiencing pain from another part of your head, then your eyes are going to hurt from the cold. Also, the square sections of the cap are too large (in my opinion). The cubes can only be moved around within their square and this means that when you put the cap on, that you might not be able to get a cube to actually sit on or be near your source of pain. I actually had this happen a few times. I think the squares should be smaller which would allow for more ice which in turn would provide for more coverage.I considered these Cons to be minor because I was able to come up with a solution for both cons. For the ice not getting to the right area, I found that I could turn my cap sideways or put it on halfway and that would put a square in the right place. The cap is designed to go on one way so it can be a little uncomfortable when you have to wear it off center but not as uncomfortable as a migraine. My favorite solution was for the eyeball freezing part. which required the use of a sleeping mask that I had bought on Amazon but didn't really like. The sleeping mask that I bought had claimed to have a Velcro band to help keep it secure at night but when I got it, there was no Velcro - it was just an elastic band which means it would slip off each and every night and I ended up throwing that sleeping mask in a drawer. That is until I got this cap. What I do is place the sleeping mask on my face and then place the cap over it. This had 3 positive side affects. The first was that the sleeping mask created a barrier between the cap and my eyes. I can still feel the coolness but its not so cold as to hurt my eyes anymore. The second was that the combination of the sleeping mask and the cap created a complete blackout from any and all light. As anyone who has ever suffered from a migraine knows - light is pain! And the third benefit is the cap is tighter on my head when I am wearing the sleeping mask which means it creates more pressure and pressure is relief where a migraine is concerned.I really love this item even with the cons I had mentioned. I might have felt differently if I hadn't been able to find a solution for them, but I did and I will never be without one of these. If they ever create an "Upgraded" version with smaller squares and maybe a built in eye cover that can be removed if needed, then I will be the first in line to purchase! I love this thing so much that I bought a second one and when I don't have a headache, they are both in the freezer and when a migraine hits me - I can rotate between the two and always have a cold cap handy if I need it.If you are a migraine sufferer and are looking for something to offer relief, then pull out your favorite sleeping mask and give this thing a try.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It was flexible when cold. Reasonably priced. There were 2. After I used one I would have another to use while that one cooled. This worked well. The only negative was that I felt it was too cold to use right out of the freezer. I had to let it warm a little bit before I could tolerate it where it touched my skin. That takes about 20 minutes. After that it worked perfectly. I am somewhat sensitive to cold. So it may not bother others. Pain relief:From migraines

I have 3 of these. I suffer from severe sinus headaches and these really help. The reason I have 3 is because the ice packs in the cap don't last forever obviously. The cold and the tightness of the cap really help with the pressure in my head. In the summer the cap stays cold for at least an hour. In the winter much longer. However an hour isn't enough for my headache. Which is why I have 3. I can wear one until it's no longer cold, move to the next while the first one is refreezing, move to the 3rd and once it's no longer cold the 1st one is again. So im basically rotating for hours and hours of cold therapy. I have even slept in them several times. They don't stay cold all night, but again the tightness really helps. I love these caps.

This head wrap has been a lifesaver! The cold compression instantly soothes my headaches and stays in place comfortably. It’s soft, adjustable, and blocks out light, making it perfect for migraines. I wish I’d bought it sooner!”
