The Icing Effect with Incrediwear

Did you know Incrediwear sleeves can also be used for icing for an hour and more? All you need is your Incrediwear and hot water. 

Incrediwear technology is based on negative ions. Our fabric is embedded with Carbon and Germanium. When the fabric is dry it increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage. When water is added, the negative ions are activated even more intensely. As a result, heat is kicked out of the deep tissue providing an icing effect. 

What's important - blood flow is still stimulated at the same time so this icing method doesn't cause tissue damage like the traditional R.I.C.E method. This is why Incrediwear can be used for icing even for an hour and more!

How to ice

Things to note:

  1. The hotter the water, the more intense the icing effect - you'll be surprised! Please be mindful that hot water can burn however.
  2. The surface of the fabric won't be cold to the touch! It will actually become warm, since it will accumulate heat from the body. 
  3. Outside air temperatures needs to be 62 degrees Fahrenheit or hotter.

this looks neato, but for safety and product integrity, can you provide updated instructions with a little more specific detail? how about a temperature range for the water? would hot tap water do? the photo of the pot on the stove seems to imply boiling or near-boiling, which seems too much…

This was a cool way to ice but now it’s wet and I have to wait quite a while to wear it
