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-onWhat could be better• Doesn’t keep meds cold, just cool—won’t replace a fridge• Takes a while to dry out completely after useBottom 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.

I must admit that I was skeptical that this would actually work as described, but simply put, it does and I love it. I bought this because I fly a lot and didn't want to deal with products with ice packs, especially going through TSA (I know ice packs are permitted by TSA for medicine but the process can still be a pain). This is much more convenient and compact and keeps things cold for several days (not hours) without refrigeration. There is no melting or sweating of ice packs to deal with and you don't need to worry about ice packs that can freeze your medicine. I have been using it since November, and it worked for all of my trips without an issue (even to several hot locations in the Caribbean). Simply soak the interior pouch in water, lay it on a paper towel to soak up any excess water, slide your medicine in the pouch, slide the pouch into the outer case and go. The product has some type of crystals in the interior pouch lining that swell when soaked in water and turn into a gel like substance. When you are finished using it, you just let it sit out and air dry and the gel turns back into crystals. It is so simple, convenient and reusable.

This thing really works. It holds the cooling gel for much longer than it adverse. I was on a cruise for two weeks and when I went to reactive it I notice that it was still half crystalized.

Well built, I haven’t used it yet, but I’m going to the other side of the world so I will see you when I get there if it’s still cold. So far it seems like a good item.

I purchased this to keep cold 1 vial of medicine for 10 hours. Followed printed and online instructions and tried the cooler on two different occasions - both times it failed resulting in room temperature medication. Complete waste of money. Do not buy.

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.

I used this for the first time on an international trip (United/Lufthansa) out of SFO. I have TSA Pre and would normally get a fast trip through security but the fancier scanning machines in the TSA Pre line at SFO immediately detected the water in the Frio and I got held up for 20 minutes as they normally are not used to bag searches in the TSA Pre line.When wet the granules still show up as water to the scanner, and will appear like you have a bag of water in your carry-on.Second issue - when the pack gets squished the gel granules will squeeze out of the cloth wrapping, making a mess. I had to take insulin in the aircraft bathroom during the 11-hour flight and the gel granules went all over the bathroom sink (I had to sop them up with a paper towel to get the sink clean enough for the next user).For both these reasons I discarded the gel pack once I got to my hotel and just carried my insulin pens without benefit of this wallet on the trip home (didn't want to get stopped a second time).The idea is good, and it probably gets through scanners at less-sophisticated airports but newer scanning machines will detect the water and your bag will get searched.
