How do Cool Ties work?

Cool Ties contain small crystals that absorb and retain cold water. These crystals cool the blood that passes through the veins and arteries at the base of your neck (or wherever they are worn on your body). Cool Ties can also be used as a cold or hot compress to lessen muscle soreness or inflammation. They easily wrap and tie around your wrists, knees, shoulders, ankles, etc.

To activate your Cool Tie, simply soak it in cold water for 30 minutes to one hour (depending on the desired thickness). To use it as a cold pack, towel dry your Cool Tie and place it on your neck, head, or any extremity. As the cold dissipates, "roll" it approximately every 30 minutes to reactivate the cooling powers. For best results, refresh your Cool Tie with cold water before each use.

Your Cool Tie can also be used as a hot pack. To activate it, place your Cool Tie in a microwave oven for 30 seconds, repeating this procedure as needed to maintain the desired warmth.

When not in use, simply hang up your Cool Tie until completely dry, and then store it anywhere. If you want to keep your Cool Tie ready for instant use, keep it in your refrigerator in an open container (Cool Ties need to "breathe"). To clean it, wash your Cool Tie in cool, sudsy water, rinse it, and then hang it up to dry. You can reuse your Cool Tie thousands of times!
