StakSak FAQs

What is a StakSak?

A StakSak is your cool, comforting friend. It is handmade, cuddly, pliable cold pack made from remnants, rice and essential oils.  Keep it in the freezer and use it for stacks, whacks, knocks, hurts, sprains, pains, aches, ouches, ows, bumps, kapows, bites, bruises, burns (minor), comfort, calming or coolness.  My boys take theirs to bed on hot summer nights just to keep their cool.

Can I heat my StakSak?

I DO NOT recommend you heat StakSaks, for a couple of reasons... 

They were designed as a COLD pack, hence you keep them in the freezer so they're ready to go for cold therapy use only.  

I use a variety of fabrics in the making of StakSaks, some of which heating could be detrimental to the product and dangerous to the person.

I use essential oils in the product and it is not advisable to heat these in a microwave. 

All microwaves are different and not all people use common sense all the time. 

How do I store my StakSak?

I keep our ever-growing family of StakSaks in the door of the freezer. I recommend the most hygienic and practical way to store it would be in a ziplock plastic bag as freezers tend to be a bit icy and there are bits of food everywhere.  You don't want your StakSak to get frostbitten, wet or dirty.

What might my StakSak be used for?

Whenever the RICE method applies - Rest, Ice (StakSak), Compression, Elevation.......Sprains, Inflammation, Tendonitis, Bruises, Minor Burns, Bites, Relaxation, Calming, Hot Flushes, Headaches, Cooling off, Comforting ouchies of all sorts.

PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE and SEEK PROPER MEDICAL ADVICE for your injuries or woes when necessary.

Can I request the pattern/images on my StakSak?

Yes, although as I use remnants, it's hard to guarantee fabrics.  I will however do my best to get you as close to what you want as possible. Let's talk via your order, email/text or even ring me the old fashioned way, or send me a letter/fax or telegram the really old fashioned way.  I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
