Application: 

·       Place ice cubes in the pouch, filling up about half of it;

·       Add cold water;

·       a folded towel should be placed between the body of the user and the bag, in order to avoid overcooling/frostbite of the body area.

As the ice starts melting, you need to drain the water from the bag and add ice.
