I bought two of these and they really helped cool me down when my AC died. I wrapped them around my neck when I was active, and just draped them over me at night when I was sleeping.
I wrap it around my wrist or wear it around my neck. I like it better on my wrist so I'll probably cut it into pieces that make it easier to wear.
It was going to be another hot one and that maybe I should take a look into these towels. When dry, they are hard as a rock. You soak them in water for a minute or so, ring them out, and wrap them around your neck... and man they help bring your temperature down.
My husband works at a car body shop and used this several times a day at work. Says he keeps it in the fridge and used it for 5 minutes at a time when he gets overheated. Says he feels really refreshed and back to normal after. He works outside in florida where its feels like temp is over 100F during half the year.
You get it wet for 1 minute, wring it out and it's good to go. It didn't smell nice at first but the smell went away after some use. It didn't really bother me because I felt so good but keep that in mind if you're like me and can smell the faintest of scents.
