Especially if you are looking after an old person or a young child, it's good to know that to cool someone down a tepid sponge method is quick and easy. The thing is not to dry the skin , as the evaporation cools..

Mine arrived. Not magical but quite good. A nice size to wrap right around your neck, so better than a flannel.

My ice towel arrived this afternoon and it definitely helps though soon after it arrived the rain started so not so essential now - though the house is still quite hot despite cooling a lot outside.

Mine arrived last night, those poor Amazon drivers still working at nearby 9.00pm.

I sat on top of the duvet reading late with it wrapped around my feet.

Bliss!

When I eventually turned the light out and settled down there was a cool damp patch between the duvet and the bottom sheet, that I could rest my feet on.

More Bliss.

I wrapped mine round my neck and looped it through like a smart scarf it was so lovely and refreshing, then as suggested I took it off and flicked it and miraculously it got cooler. Thanks Teetime for the recommendation.

I have discovered another use for the ice towel. I have been wrapping it round my arm where I was bitten. It's easier than a bag of ice cubes or peas to take the heat and itch out of a bite.
