Large Fomentek Hot & Cold Water Bag - 18" X 24"

So follow the instructions for sure on not putting water in it that is too hot. Eventually your bags will leak if you continue to put water that is too warm in it and definitely do not put in boiling water. I am a massage therapist so I use these for clients. With all the concern with electrical heat our household uses these as bed warmers and as a therapist I especially like that they mold to your body. Neck, back, etc. Clearly you don’t want to put them under your body as they may rupture. The five gallon bag is quite large so be aware of that. If you laid it on your chest for most people it would go from your clavicle to about the top of your thigh. I recommend these to every single one of my clients and will always be a forever fan. Smaller bags are great for making your own ice packs or use them warm for small area pain. I think the middle of the sizes is the best as the 5 gallon will be too large for most.

Best to place under the base sheet with client in Supine position. I have used Fomentek for 30 years. I use the Fomentek 5 times a day, 5 days each week. I find after 8 months of using the Fementek the plastic starts to break down and will not allow the water to drain. I wash the Fomentek bag every 2 weeks with Dawn dish soap to extend it's life.

Nice and good

Poor quality. Too thin to hold water

love these bags. i’ve been using them in my massage practice for 20years and they are great. just fill at the sink with hot shower temp water, lie down on it, and bliss. i take them on house calls to easily keep clients warm. my clients love them. they are sturdy and even obese clients have never popped one. they are double layer so usually after a year or two of constant use they start to get a little water in between the layers. that way i know it’s time for a new one without it leaking out at all.
