So over the years I've developed my own method partially by my own devices and through the help of other individuals of making my own ice packs and heat packs. Both involve Ziploc bags of the sandwich size. For ice packs what you do is buy the cheapest pack of maxi pads you can find and cut them in half or thirds soak them in water and put them in a ziplock bag and freeze. You can make a bunch of these at a time and you can keep reusing them over and over for an infinite amount of time. I always make a bunch because that way I can rotate them out cuz some days I need to use 10 to 15 of them in a day period for the heat packs all you do is take a washcloth soaked in water and sealed in a sandwich bag and pop it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. I'll usually reuse a bunch of times but usually switch it out for Fresh washcloth everyday. you're going to want to wrap both of these things in something as to avoid making direct contact with your skin.
