Great for hot flashes!,
What an amazing thing! This “scarf” actually gets COLD from simple evaporation, and is perfect to keep handy at work for hot flashes! It instantly cools me, and has been a godsend. I’m ordering a second one so that I have one at home and one in my office at all times. LOVE IT! It stays cool until it dries out, which takes a few hours, and it would probably last even longer in a more humid climate (I’m in the Arizona desert). A simple resoaking and wringing out is all it takes to “recharge” it instantly. I’m so glad I found this and recommend it to any woman experiencing “power surges.” 🙂

Cooling towel OK but….,
I purchased the Chill-Its cooling towel to take on a trip to Honduras. It was somewhat cooler but I tried the Frog Togs towel and it was VERY cold! Wish I would have spent the extra money and gone with the name brand.

Cold, but leaves something to be desired, as it is just a towel.,
I have three products with me to test:
Ergodyne Chill-Its,
Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad
Your Generic Paper Towels (Control)
Examination:
I tested all three with different parts of my neck. Paper Towels are okay, they still feel cool, since water absorbs heat like crazy. This is the control. However, after using Ergodyne and Frogg Toggs, I noticed that they were significantly cooler, since they stayed cool, where as Your Generic Paper Towels will stop being cool after a few minutes.
Anyways, Ergodyne when opened, smelt like gasoline, corn oil, or diesel. Fairly off-putting, I had to use soap and water to clean it. As of right now, (15 minutes later) the Ergodyne is less cool than my Frogg Toggs, suggesting that they evaporate water much quicker than Frogg Toggs.
In any case, when I opened the Frogg Toggs, it smelt as if someone wiped their…A** with it. Quite like if you had the mixture of manure and some sort of sour or expired milk. This was the most off-putting of smells. I still smell it faintly, even though it was washed with soap and water.
And Paper Towels? I don’t think I need to evaluate them, since everyone can test with a paper towel.
Findings: All seem to be cool to the touch, but some are a bit cooler than others. Why? I assume that Frogg Toggs absorb and retain the most water, making them the most “cool”.
#3: Paper Towels: Paper Towels are cool, but don’t match up to the other two.
#2: Ergodyne: Not as effective as Frogg Toggs, but if you’re hot you probably won’t know/care about the difference.
#1: Frogg Toggs: The most effective, but Ergodyne’s is a close second.
In short, this Ergodyne towel is nice and it works, but for ten dollars, I feel that I could just use some regular ol’ towel for a much cheaper price. At least they don’t smell.
Edit: And you could just buy a towel, because I used a new test, a damp shirt. After getting a splash of juice on it, I applied some water and soap. I then questioned the efficacy between a damp shirt and this towel. I then placed my towel near the stain. There was no real difference in temperature between this towel and this a wet shirt. In order to get this towel cold, I advise placing it in a fridge, or as a chilled/frozen plastic bottle water cover.
Update: If your towel starts to get warm, please grab the towel and spin it around in a circle. That’ll make it cool again.
