Hurtie Hug Hot/Cold Pack for Kids (Review and Giveaway)

CLOSED.

And, the winner is:

Leann LaPresti

I recently had the opportunity to interview Katie and Kelli of Healthy Family Products, LLC for an upcoming Spotlight on Mommy post (check back in May).  They are the inventors of the Hurtie Hug hot/cold pack for kids.  

More About the Hurtie-Hug:

The Hurtie Hug is a new, innovative product like no others currently on the market. Designed specifically for children (though adults can use it too!), the Hurtie Hug solves the problem of how to apply cold or heat to a child’s injury in the most comfortable, efficient way possible.

Until now, our options were limited – either a messy, drippy plastic bag full of ice cubes or a hot or cold (frozen hard) plastic gel pack – both painful after a few moments of direct contact with delicate, injured skin and both requiring an adult to sit and hold the bag or pack on the child’s injury (or trust the child to do it themselves, often resulting in the mysterious disappearance of the bag or pack after a few short minutes).

The Hurtie Hug’s soft fleece pouch protects skin from direct contact with the hot/cold pack, while its elastic arms keep the pouch in place on the injury. That frees up busy parents, caretakers and children from having to hold a hot/cold pack on an injury for long periods of time. Great for child care centers! Perfect for your little athlete!

My Review:

Even though the Hurtie Hug is made for kids, I have to say that adults will fall in love with it.  Like I have said in a previous post, we are trying to break the co-sleeping habit with Savannah, and at times I wake up with a stiff back, shoulder or arm, from trying to hold onto the bed for dear life.  I have been trying out the Hurtie Hug and love how it stays in place.  In the past, when I needed to use a hot/cold pack, it would always slide off or not stay in place.  Now, with the Hurtie Hug, you simply adjust the velcro arms around the affected area, and let the hot/cold do its job.  

Kids will love the cute velcro arms and face of the Hurtie Hug.  Now, tending to a boo-boo will be a little bit easier, as children will love to use the stylish Hurtie Hug.   

This is a must have first aid item to have on hand, to grab when your child runs into the house with a boo-boo.  No more worrying about leaking plastic bags with ice cubes or gel packs that are too cold and may cause burns to a child's sensitive skin.  The Hurtie Hug Hot/Cold pack can be used by anyone in the family, so you may end up buying more than one!
