Please... Can you tell me what the beads are that when they are soaked in water they enlarge and soften and help you to stay cool. I want to put these into a quilted strip. They were sold a few years back in just a long strip to put around your neck. They didn't last long, so I want to put them in a quilted strip. My house is soooo hot and I am miserable. I think this project would help me, but I can't remember the name of the little beads or pellets. Thanks!

Soil Moist Granules. Blue and white package with yellow roses and pink tulips on the front. On the back is a tomato, some brocolli and carrots. They're put out by JRM Chemical, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio.
I got mine in the garden center at Walmart a few years ago. I just ran across a bag of them and made a couple of neck coolers for my stepson. He building out buildings in Texas until he's called back to the oil rigs and he's burning up. I just mailed them to him this morning. I'm going to look tomorrow to see if our Walmart still carries them.
