How long does this gel pack stay cold if, say, it has been in the freezer for at least 24 hours?

It stays cold to cool a couple of hours. Not sure why you need it so long, since therapists recommend icing down for only 15-20 minutes. And you always have the other gel pack you can pull out when you want a colder one.

Hi! This gel pack stays cold for quite a while, and even once the very cold feeling of it fades, it is still cold enough to keep help an aching or injured knee.

Normally I do not have them on longer than 20 min, But they are still pretty cold I would say at 30 min.

I didn't know, so I put mine in the freezer for 12 hours at minus 17 degrees F. They are still as soft and flexible as at room temperature! Amazing!

I keep them in my freezer. They usually stay cold for two days in a cooler. I also using them when I need to put ice on my knee or on my back.

The insulin pens stay cool up to 12 hours. My husband also uses the cold blocks you can purchase at many drug stores. As the gel pack started to leak.

If you keep your cold packs on the frig and not the freezer you won't have any freezing problem. I have immunology serums that I keep for a trip that involves an overnight stay and the serums are still cool when I'' able to put them back in my frig.

I think it depends on how much water you started with. Mine will keep ice cubes for about 24 hours as long as I started with mostly ice.

The packs stay cold for an hour or so; you may need to replace; however it's not medically advisable to leave a cold pack next to skin for over 20 minutes. I do, but I wrap it in a kitchen towel to avoid frostbite.

Actually, about 25 minutes..I used it for 8, but by the time I put them back in the fridge, more time had passed and they were still cool!

The ice pack stay cold for like 3 hours, but it is really good. Stays in the place and it is not aggressive cold.I recommend.

It stays cold for quite a while. I personally freeze it. Unless you're not wearing a lot of layers I'm not sure you'd be able to feel as much relief from the pack with just refrigeration. I will say you need to be careful about leaving it on too long- I once fell asleep with it on and woke up with minor frost bite on part of my leg that was directly exposed to the pack.

If you were to place the item in a regular refrigerator, depending upon the temperature setting, the item would freeze within 1 to 1-1/2 hours; otherwise, if you were to use a conventional or deep freezer, the item would freeze within 20 to 30 minutes.

When I bought mine, it didn't come on a cold pack either. I think it should be OK since it wasn't out of the freezer for several days. The one I have works great.

As long as the ice pack is in there, the milk stays freezing cold. I used to take it to work for 15+ hour days and my milk would be freezing when I got home.

Yes and no. It sits in my pillow all day and works great for about 20min. In the fridge for about an hour. The freezer last for a couple of hours.

Longer than you should keep it on your body. By mistake, I've kept it on me for 45 minutes and it's still chilling. I'd say about an hour - if it's enclosed in an ice pack wrap.

In the ad it says the clay pack part measures 6'' x 12'' and includes a reusable protective cloth sleeve with a footlong 1 1/2 wide elastic strap with velcro for a secure fit. It gets very cold in the freezer but I wouldn't call it "frozen." It's a oil clay mixture that stays pliable. I'd say somewhere between a half hour and an hour. I have another clay pack and a gel pack that fits in the cloth sleeve, so I can interchange them and always have a cold pack ready. I'd say it weighs about 1 1/2 lbs.
