Does this freeze hard or is it very flexible when frozen?

the answer is: in between. It's not totally hard, but it's not as flexible as it gets when it warms up for a few minutes. The great thing with this product is that while it's warming up, you can have it around your neck, or knee, or wherever, having the blue side touching your skin. The blue side will not "burn" your skin for as long as u keep it on, and it still gets your joints or whatever you're tying to get cold, very cold. Then if you want more cooling, after about 15 or more minutes, it will be very flexible and you can turn it over and use the white side for additional cold.

I agree its in between. Gel is stiff when frozen but not rigid. Can be massaged to make it more flexible.

No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question... No, i don't believe it can. It has a tiny little freezer section in the top corner but that only freezes enough to make ice. If you were to put ice cream in either frig or freezer it might stay really cold and formed but it will become very very soft like it was slowly melting or something. but ice cream bars seem to stay frozen in the freezer part (bars like ice cream snickers or just regular candy bars,butter,ice) things of that nature.Well, i hope i was of some help to you with this reply. Feel free to ask anything else you need to know about my experince with this purchase. I'm happy to help. No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question...

It does not get hard in the ice cream maker, but I think you could put it in the freezer for a while if you wanted it to be harder. In my experience, once put in the freezer for too long (as in overnight) though it can get too hard and has to be softened.

hard, but when the unfreeze/thaw out they do seep and leak a bit. but I still use them with a better product that freezes below 0. Its called Nu-Ice but it must be deep frozen for 2 days

I have never frozen it solid, but I have put it the the freezer for a couple of hours.

Yes. It is still very flexible if something hits it. It is more durable than many of the cheaper ones on the market that I have used. My zipper pull broke the first week on the job, but a paper clip works as a substitute. In my case, I have since gone back to using a rigid plastic cooler that doesn't leak water.

It feels solid all the way down. We have a freezer unit that we run colder than the refrigerator freezer so ice cream from the freezer unit is always much harder. I would be surprised if this scoop can break like the last one we had that broke out of the handle. I am comfortable using as much force as I need to.

It is very soft and pliable. It is a silicone mold which is so soft that I had to put it on a cookie tray and place in the freezer so it wouldn't bend and the water spill out. My ice "cubes" came out very easily.

Water will expand when frozen and this is a very rigid plastic, meaning I don't believe it is meant to be placed in the freezer without cracking the bottle. So it is my belief it is not a good idea to freeze the bottle without damaging it's integrity. The gel stick is re-usable, it can be frozen over and over again but the cooling effects only last for about an hour if not in direct sunlight with your liquid of choice.

It's not like an ice pack material. But I guess it can be frozen to a very low temperature.it's actually made of rubber. This is a good product, you won't regret buying this :)

I have never had it freeze on me, but I would say it should be good. Ya might want to contact the manufacturer.

Its not stiff at all. Its very flexible. You can roll it up like a burrito.

Looking at the date of your question you may not need this answer any more but I was curious about freezing in the Medela bottles, too. I looked on the Medela website and they have the following posted "Flexible: Ideal for expressing, storing, freezing and feeding breastmilk".

The Ice Pack is not hard. When in the freezer a few hours, it is firm, but flexible. Not sure how long it would last in a picnic cooler.The reason I got the Ice Packs, was mainly to ease my hip and back (Sciatica pain)

I have not tried to freeze it. Freezing water makes it expand and could crack it. Your question is a good one. It would be nice to have cold water. The mfg should know the answer.

I don't know if it won't freeze but I ordered mine in Jan and its been cold here. It arrived fine. You can ask the company. They're great about helping.

I'm not quite sure how to answer this but to me it is fairly hard plastic but it still has a little bit of flexibility. I hope this helps.
