SuzziPad Stress Relief Hat, Cooling Socks and Cold Gloves for Chemo, Comfortable Items for Chemotherapy Patients, Softens Discomfort for Feet, Head and Hands, L

Overall we really liked the Suzzipad. The cold packs slide into the mitts and booties easily. The mitts fit really well... the booties are a little small and we bought the larger size so be forewarned. My husband wears a size 11 shoe normally, average width feet. His feet do fit in these, just barely, but because he barely fits them, it's hard to get the heel cold pad into its pocket (not that I think that particular cold pack is vital anyway). If your feet are bigger than Men's 11, I think you might struggle with the booties. The cold packs are nicely packaged in separate storage bags which makes it easy to freeze them and keep them all together and since it's a thick plastic, you can write your name on it easily for cold storage at your chemo facility. They stay very cold for at least an hour, but I recommend getting two sets of these anyway, because delays occur frequently and we often have to change out cold packs mid-infusion. I'm on the fence about the hat. It can't be frozen, only refrigerated and it doesn't stay cold as long. What I end up doing is having him wear one for about 10-15 minutes, then I pop it into our cooler and stuff it full of the spare ice packs and put the second hat on him for 15 minutes. I continue this rotation throughout the infusion. I also bought additional small ice packs to put under the hat during later rotations. The hat is comfortable and easy to put on. All pieces seem to be well constructed and so far have been doing the job. I would purchase again.

I bought this set and waited for 10 days for shipment however when I opened the pack it was missing the socks and socks pads. Only hand gloves and hat arrived. Unfortunately I requested to return and looking for another brand now !

Alles gut

They worked great… And I bought a size up so that I would have roominess and not have the ice right against my hands all the time. I can ball my hands up in fists for a minute, and then stretch them back out against the ice pads. You do have to order another set of the ice pads if your chemo is over 30 minutes. They are just under $40 here on Amazon. The packs will get warm enough where they won’t constrict the blood vessels like they should. My chemo lasts an hour, and they want me to start the cold therapy 15 minutes before, so this is the only way to make this work for me! Otherwise, into an ice bucket, my hands go! And the nurses will provide that, but I just ordered the extra pads to make it a little bit more comfortable. The only reason I gave four stars is because you have to order that second pack. The photo shows me at my chemo appointment, with my hands in the ice water because I only had one set of ice packs the first time. You won’t have to do this if you order a second pack I’m sure!
