Hi Teri. I think the liquid would need to be sealed in a bag and frozen before sealing in the vacuum sealer to make sure no liquid got in your machine. They work really well. I haven’t had any break open on me, but I do double bag with quality bags.

Thanks, Bonnie. The glove is a great idea!

Because it never freezes, the glove really molds to the body part that needs ice therapy.

I’ve had one in my freezer for almost 2 years. The alcohol is gradually evaporating, but it is still very flexible, and inexpensive to replace.
