Make your own "soft" ice pack:
1 part Rubbing Alcohol
2 parts Water
I use a quart bag and put in 2 cups water and 1 cup alcohol. Make sure you double bag it..
for covering a larger area,use a gallon bag,and double the recipe
or if your lucky enough to own a "seal a meal" vac thing..you could make a leak proof one!
i used this when i had the knee replacement surgeries.
