Is this the same Proseries pack as the one that actually says it is for hot and cold therapy? Can this one be filled with either ice OR hot water?

These ice bags can be filled with both hot and cold water. Do not add boiling water, but water as hot as the tap will allow will work. Do not place your bags in the freezer or microwave as this will damage them.

It says only hot tap water. On a couple of occasions I have heated the water a little more than that because the tap water just isn't hot enough in the bottle. I use mine on my lower back while laying in the recliner and it seems that my body heat keeps it slightly warm for a long time, even hours, but it's not enough warmth to be therapeutic. I don't fill it more than 1/3 full when doing that, though, as it's not comfortable to me when it has more water in it.

Yes, it does come with ice packs. It works best with cold water and the ice packs in a combination. Keeps the room cool throughout the summer night.

No, when you add water, following directions provided, the "pillow" acts like a bag of airtight jello. I found the item as advertised except that, for me, it was too cold. I have hot flashes and, while it definitely did cool me, it was, again, way too cold.

My breast pump actually came with regular refreezable ice packs. I would into a pump that has a cooler liner with ice packs included. It worked for me.

Both. This is an exceptional water bottle in terms of build quality. although they do not recommend this, I have been filling half the level I want directly from the electric water kettle & then adding hot water front he atop (you could just as easily reverse this order...actually, probably best to do it that way). No problems & lasts all night with this mix. i also wrap it in a flannel pillow case & put a towel over it as it is too hot to stat with, then I can kick the towel off later if I want more direct warmth. Best cure ever for the "bed's too cold to get into" blues!

Hi - I bought it a while ago-the heatpack is part of the sleeve and is reuseable. It does heat up bottles but my baby had prefered her bottles very warm so I didn't use it a lot.

Oh yes, on the pack you can clearly see the instructions for using it as a heat pack and a cold one too.I recently used it both ways and it stand to what it claims.

I've used used for several years now and just bought a second one. It's great. It does say 'cold-pack' so don't use it as a heat pack.

It's great for both. I pour boiling water in mine and put it in my diaper bag for the day. When I need to heat a bottle (breastmilk or formula), I just unscrew the top and pour the boiling water in the cap and place the bottle inside and it's warm in minutes. It's just like having a thermos. Great product!! I wouldn't have survived without it!

I think the product is designed for hot water. I never tried to put ice in it.

It comes with an Ice pack, but we have used also soft ice packs too bc we forgot to freeze the ice pack a few times :)

It's only an ice pack. It's a great size, and comfortable. If you're looking for only ice, I highly recommend this product.

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.

Yes. It is insulated,but if you live in a warm climate I would add the ice pack. Hubby says his cold water bottle keeps stuff pretty cold tho. Also I dont pack to much that has to be kept cold. Just sandwich, salad and such. He hasnt complained yet!

The hot is hot.. the cold is cooler than room temperature.. Like the convenience of it and the price was reasonable.. first one we got the plumbing on the inside was all broken so the water leaked out as fast as it was going in.. every time we load a new bottle we are very aware how cheap the plastic is and need to be careful because it feels like it's going to break every time you load the water bottle on top.

Like any other ice pack, I does not stay cold forever. If you're looking to have it stay cold overnight, this is not the one for you. I'm not sure of any ice pack that stays cold that long......?
