FRIO DUO Wallet

I bought this product for my teenage type 1 diabetic son. He needed independence and this gives peace of mind. It does not leak! I read a review stating it leaks. After recharging with water and only while it's wet in the water their may be a very slight film on the water. It's likely from the gel beads, but to claim it leaks is ridiculous. It's much better to chatge every 2 to 3 days if you're going to use it continuously. My son often forgets to recharge with water and the beads get dried out if you do this. This little bag is amazing! It keeps 2 pens perfectly (unless you overcharge!) If you do overcharge be sure to put medication in with the lid on top sliding pen in with counterpart first. This way you don't have to try and get a lid out! This only happens that the fit is too tight if you leave in water too long. The learning curve isn't that hard. I'd recommend using a timer. Start with 2 minutes per side in cold water and continue flipping until product feels full. It will literally puff up! First time or after not using for a while takes longer to charge. Love this little thing! Now if only they made them specifically for epipens! Not to people who don't understand the concept os this bag, it keeps your medication at room temp! Once insulin is removed from fridge for use this is recommended! Nobody wants to put refrigerated insulin in their body! It can hurt/sting. Also remember it's perfectly safe to store your insulin at room temperature and use for 28 days! Some people write reviews complaining this product doesn't keep their child's insulin at 45 degrees. It seems they don't understand that's just when refrigerating for long term storage that u have a max temp of 46. Personally I keep our insulin in a seperate mini fridge and store around 40°. Recommend Temps are 36° to 46° F or between 2-8°C. That's for long term storage!!! This Frio wallet is for daily storage at room temperatures! Room temperature storage is between 59° to 86° F or 15° to 30°C . This keeps it perfectly in that sweet spot even when in the heat when used properly! Sweet spot being 20–25°C or 68–77°F! Incredible product.

Bought this to safely store insulin during travel and hot weather. What I like • Keeps insulin cool for over 45 hours without ice or electricity • Just soak in water to activate—super easy and reusable • Compact size fits easily in a purse or carry-on What could be better • Doesn’t keep meds cold, just cool—won’t replace a fridge • Takes a while to dry out completely after use Bottom line: A reliable, no-fuss cooling case for on-the-go insulin storage. Perfect for travelers or anyone on the move, but look at 4AllFamily Insulin Cooler if you need refrigerated temps.

This thing is AMAZING. They say it lasts for 48 hours, but mine is still cold after almost a WEEK! And all you have to do to refresh it is soak it in water for a few minutes, which you can easily do in a hotel room. It also is small enough to fit in most pockets so you don't even need a purse. I keep it in my sweater pocket so I always have it with me. I just LOVE it!!! Don't bother with those old fashioned, inconvenient ice packs. This is the BEST!

This is one of the neatest things I have seen. You soak it in cold water and the beads swell up to help maintain the insulin and keep it from getting hot when you're out and about. It's great because it lasts for a few days and as long as you have soaked it within the past day or two, it doesn't take near as long - which is great if you're always rushing around. When it's first done, it is rather difficult to get ONE pen in it, so no way to get a second one in there. Aside from that, we love it.

The American Diabetes Assn says that insulin can be unrefrigerated up to 28 days if kept at temps lower than 86 degrees F. Eli Lilly says that Mounjaro can be unrefrigerated up to 21 days if kept at temps lower than 86 degrees F. Therefore, most folks, even when traveling will NOT need this product. However, when traveling abroad, using this product is a good precaution to take. I am traveling for 3 weeks to Southeast Asia in April so temps can be difficult to predict. I decided on the Frio Duo Cooler Wallet because it was small, and didn't depend on a freezer for a recharge. We'll be staying in hotels but hotel refrigerators typically don't have freezer compartments. When the wallet is in continuous use, it needs about a 5 minute cold water soak in the sink to recharge. Easy peasy! Be forewarned, however, that for first time use, you'll need to soak the wallet for 10 minutes, then 24 hours later, soak for 10 more minutes. It will double in size after the second soaking and be much more effective. Also, I used an instant read thermometer to discover that the wallet keeps the meds at a reliable 67 degrees F. For some reason, I expected the wallet to be at refrigerator temps which was not reasonable. The product is well-made, and easy to use.

UPDATE ON MY REVIEW BELOW: I would encourage you to read this before you a buy this product. I called customer support manufacturer at Frio when I returned from my trip. They said that there was only one study done in testing this product. They put it in a temperature controlled container at 100° for 48 hours and the medicine stayed at approximately 77°. The manufacturer considers this “cool”. I have included a screenshot of their brochure when I received the product (added below in the picture). You’ll notice that it says at the very top “Keep your medication cool”. However, below at the first bulleted point, it says keep medication cool and safe (note the asterisks mark). Below, at the asterisks, you’ll notice it says medication must be maintained at his recommended safe temperature. They told me that most medications could be safely used at room temperature so it was within the parameters of their advertising. I don’t think that when a manufacture advertises that the medicine will arrive cool, that 77° is considered cool. I think the manufacture should be responsible for the loss that I incurred. Of course they disagree. My initial review: I purchased this item because I needed a way to keep my medication cool for a long trip and it seemed like the perfect solution. It advertises that it keeps medication “cool” for 45 hours. I flew from New Mexico to Budapest Hungary and when I arrived in Budapest less than 28 hours later, I pulled the medication out of the gel pack and found that it was almost warm. I called my physician and asked if my medication was safe to take and was told that it was not and to throw it all away. This left me in a terrible situation because not only did I throw away hundreds of dollars worth of medication, it left me without the medication I needed for a month long trip. If you want to rely on a product to keep your medication coool, do not purchase or rely this product.

I thought this would keep my medicine pen "cool" on a trip to San Antonio - total travel time of 12 hours (flight + car). But when I arrived at the hotel, it was room temperature. Fortunately I could still use it, but "room temperature" is not the same as "cool" to me so I was disappointed. I followed the manufacturer's instructions to the letter.

I have been using this as needed for about 8 month now, It seems to be effective in preserving my insulin when we travel or visit somewhere. It is easy to use; just follow the directions for activation proper use. Could it be better? I do not really know what could be done to enhance it function. Seems to be fairly durable, but I do not abuse it. Does it last for 45+ hours? I cannot say since I have only used it for about 12 to 15 hours at a time. Have not lost any insulin yet. Just follow the directions.

يحافظ على الانسولين بدرجة برودة معقوله حتى لا يفسد الدواء لاكن لا تتوقع انه يحمل قلمين مثل ما هو موضح ومعلن من البائع عند الاختيار ربما وصلني بالخطأ لقلم واحد لا أعلم

L'ho preso per viaggiare in aereo. L'ho provato e FUNZIONA. All'interno ci sono come dei pallini igroscopici che messi a mollo nell'acqua fredda si gonfiano e mantengono l'acqua all'interno per circa 2 giorni. Non raffredda nel vero senso della parola ma mantiene temperatura costante senza sbalzi.

Pochette parfaite sauf que la publicité ne me semble correcte en effet il est noté lot de 2 pochettes frio et lors de la livraison un seul lot sachant que ce genre d'article arrive avec la pochette frio + une autre pochette de protection donc lot devrait dire 2 fois 2 pochettes et non 1 fois 2 pochettes J'ai fait une annulation de ma commande car le prix est élévé si seulement un lot.

Lo compre de oferta, es excelente para viajar, de verdad enfría y por mucho tiempo, como ahí lo señala. Vale la pena!

Perfect
