FRIOSmall Medication Cooling Wallet - 45+ Hours of Stress Free Insulin Cooler - No Ice On The Go Travel Case

I am very please with the Frio Cooling Wallet. It especially helps during long flights and no where to put your insulin to keep it cool (notice I did not say cold).I simply wet it, put my insulin vials in it, slip it in the pouch and and forget about it until I get to wherever I am going to pull out my "Medi-Fridge" (which is also a great product) from my suitcase.Does it keep whatever inside cold?No, it will not keep your items cold. It will keep your items cool. This thing is not a refrigerator. This product is made for short trips. I used mine for 12 hours at a time. I then re-wet it slightly the next morning and used it another 12 hours. But I personally think it worked great and kept my insulin cool enough. Also, they call this a "COOLING WALLET" not a "FREEZING-BITTER COLD WALLET".Does it last 45 Hours like advertised?I have no idea. I didn't use it this long. I used it for 12 hours, and then by morning it still seemed cool. But I still added a little water just in case for the rest of the day. And once I am done using it, I just forget about it.Does the gel leak?You do see the gel coming through the mesh (or whatever fabric it is) a little. But it does not get on anything, it is non-toxic (I don't suggest you lick it or eat it... its not an ice cream) and does not smell (if you are into sniffing things). I know when you hear "leak" you get scared. Don't. The mesh is like a sponge, you simply see it inside of the mesh, it never really "seeps" out or anything. I wouldn't even call it a leak. Plus, the pouch that comes with this product helps... and once this thing dries, the gel goes back in and you no longer see it (funny, reminds me a of the blob).Does it last?I have had mine for 2 years and use it a lot.HELPFUL HINTS:Be sure if you are traveling on an airplane that you open your pouch before you get the security area so they can see in it. Also be sure to tell them it is a "cooling pouch" to keep your insulin (or whatever) cool. Then show them your prescription letter or insulin box with the prescription label on it.I know the company says it lasts 45 hours. But it doesn't hurt after about 12 hours to re-wet it slightly. I do not mean dunk it in water, I just put it under the faucet and made it damp again. I am not saying it doesn't last 45 hours, I am just saying this seemed to help me.DO NOT PUT IT IN A CLOSED CONTAINER! A lot of people when they travel, like to put things in containers or zip-lock bags. THIS NEEDS AIR to keep it cool. Without air, it will just be a big blob (gel) in a pouch. And I don't think you want to pay for a "Frio Big Blob in a Pouch".Hope I helped the people who had problems with this product and the people who are thinking about purchasing this. I know I loved t and it has helped me out a lot.

It works and keeps items cool

This product is great especial for traveling. It keeps things like insulin at a cool enough temperature when traveling a long time. It was cool still after a week so we just refreshed for return trip. Again NOT a ice pack but does a great job without extra weight or issues with airline.

Took a small vile of medicine internationally so it sat for over 24 hours in this little pouch. And it worked pretty well. It wasn’t cold cold but it was cold enough for the medicine. Follow the instructions exactly and you should get a good result. Had no trouble going through TSA or customs.

I used this item for only one time for epipens and mold got created. In addition, when in sun, I felt the item warm, so it didn’t work for me. Contacted frio customer care on the issue, and unfortunately they weren’t helpful, but was able to resolve through Amazon. Do not recommend.

Love the frios for Epi ones or aviq. Highly recommend

Somewhat disappointed in this product. What I bought was not large enough for the amount of pens that my husband and I both needed. It did seem to keep the insulin pens at a cool temperature and we took them to Italy and to the beach and they’re OK. I would just buy a larger size the next time..

Traveled to China using this for 2 vials of insulin. It stays cool for a very loooooong time!!
