What it’s for
For the people who find a cold pack too much: quick, even cold over a site before or after, and it doesn't leave the skin wet before an alcohol pad.
What to check in the listing
Sold for faces; works anywhere. Pick one whose head detaches so it can go in the freezer on its own. Roll for thirty seconds before the alcohol pad, or after — not on the pad itself.

TypeComfort
How it helpsColdHow it helps is the kind of comfort item it is: numbing, cold, heat, pressure, distraction, skin care, bruise care or a practical aid. Numbing creams need 20–60 minutes depending on the product (4% lidocaine about 20–30, EMLA-type about 60); cold and pressure work in seconds; distraction devices work on the nerves' attention.
