FRIOSmall Medication Cooling Wallet - 45+ Hours of Stress Free Insulin Cooler - No Ice On The Go Travel Case

I do a lot of travelling and as I am insulin dependent, these Frio bags are simple and easy to use and for me they work great. They have a cooling life of about 48 hours ( before I re-soak in cold water)and when I fly, I place them in a cooler bag for extra protection and put in my check in luggage, after two days they still keep insulin cool. I personally recommend this product

I am very please with the Frio Cooling Wallet. It especially helps during long flights and no where to put your insulin to keep it cool (notice I did not say cold).I simply wet it, put my insulin vials in it, slip it in the pouch and and forget about it until I get to wherever I am going to pull out my "Medi-Fridge" (which is also a great product) from my suitcase.Does it keep whatever inside cold?No, it will not keep your items cold. It will keep your items cool. This thing is not a refrigerator. This product is made for short trips. I used mine for 12 hours at a time. I then re-wet it slightly the next morning and used it another 12 hours. But I personally think it worked great and kept my insulin cool enough. Also, they call this a "COOLING WALLET" not a "FREEZING-BITTER COLD WALLET".Does it last 45 Hours like advertised?I have no idea. I didn't use it this long. I used it for 12 hours, and then by morning it still seemed cool. But I still added a little water just in case for the rest of the day. And once I am done using it, I just forget about it.Does the gel leak?You do see the gel coming through the mesh (or whatever fabric it is) a little. But it does not get on anything, it is non-toxic (I don't suggest you lick it or eat it... its not an ice cream) and does not smell (if you are into sniffing things). I know when you hear "leak" you get scared. Don't. The mesh is like a sponge, you simply see it inside of the mesh, it never really "seeps" out or anything. I wouldn't even call it a leak. Plus, the pouch that comes with this product helps... and once this thing dries, the gel goes back in and you no longer see it (funny, reminds me a of the blob).Does it last?I have had mine for 2 years and use it a lot.HELPFUL HINTS:Be sure if you are traveling on an airplane that you open your pouch before you get the security area so they can see in it. Also be sure to tell them it is a "cooling pouch" to keep your insulin (or whatever) cool. Then show them your prescription letter or insulin box with the prescription label on it.I know the company says it lasts 45 hours. But it doesn't hurt after about 12 hours to re-wet it slightly. I do not mean dunk it in water, I just put it under the faucet and made it damp again. I am not saying it doesn't last 45 hours, I am just saying this seemed to help me.DO NOT PUT IT IN A CLOSED CONTAINER! A lot of people when they travel, like to put things in containers or zip-lock bags. THIS NEEDS AIR to keep it cool. Without air, it will just be a big blob (gel) in a pouch. And I don't think you want to pay for a "Frio Big Blob in a Pouch".Hope I helped the people who had problems with this product and the people who are thinking about purchasing this. I know I loved t and it has helped me out a lot.

This product is great especial for traveling. It keeps things like insulin at a cool enough temperature when traveling a long time. It was cool still after a week so we just refreshed for return trip. Again NOT a ice pack but does a great job without extra weight or issues with airline.

Works well. Sometimes takes forever to shrink back down. These are pretty spendy for what they are though.

I like this product however I ordered a blue one when this item came it was not blue this does not change the fact the product works well just don’t expect a specific color. This is the only reason I only gave it 4 stars
