Welcome! Warm up or cool down with these cozy packs! Great for those aches and pains too! My cozy packs are homemade with 100% cotton material with the current options of filler being rice or barley. Right now the sizes I am currently making are:
- 19" x 5" (long) $20
- 9.5" x 5" (short) $12
- 12" x 10" (large) $25
- 5" x 5" (small) $8
These cozy packs can be microwaved on high for up to 2-mi
nutes (first time using microwave for 1-minute first then test temperature) or you can throw them in the freezer until desired temperature is reached and use as a cooling pack.

When should you use a hot pack? Heat can increase blood flow and help restore movement to injured tissue. Warmth can also reduce joint stiffness, pain, and muscle spasms. As with cold packs, heat packs have a role in easing pain from both acute and chronic injuries, such as sprains, strains, muscle spasms, whiplash, and arthritis. Doctors often suggest using cold packs for the first day or two, and then switching to heat if the symptoms persist or become more chronic. When should you use a cold pack? Anyone who has ever sprained or twisted an ankle or pulled a muscle knows that cold is your friend. Bruises, insect bites, and repetitive strain injuries such as tendinitis, also respond well to treatment with cold packs. Cold therapy can help people with muscle spasms, whiplash, and various forms of arthritis as well.
