Customer Testimonials
18 million to 41 million. The numbers speak for themselves
My urologist told me my count was 18 million and that sauna 4x a week was probably the issue. Started wearing these every session and didn't change anything else. Three months later my count was 41 million. Motility improved too. I never stopped sauna-ing once. That says enough for me.
I thought this was a scam. I was wrong.
When my mate sent me the link I thought it was one of those instagram scam products. Underwear with an ice pack? Come on. But the research on heat and sperm properly rattled me so I ordered a pair. The cooling is subtle — more like a consistent cool zone than a bag of frozen peas. Forgot I was wearing them after 5 mins.
Bought these for my husband. Best purchase I've made this year.
We've been trying to conceive for 6 months and his GP said the sauna habit wasn't helping. He refused to stop going so I bought these as a compromise. He says they're actually comfortable and doesn't notice the pack after a few minutes. More importantly I'm not lying awake worrying every session is setting us back.
Goodbye wet flannel, hello actually working solution
Used to bring a cold wet flannel into the sauna and just kind of sit on it. Looked ridiculous, dried out in about 5 minutes, and if im being honest it wasn't really doing much. This is a proper upgrade. The cooling actually lasts the whole session, you don't have to hold anything in place, and you don't look like a weirdo sitting on a wet cloth. Simple product that just works.
15 minutes to 24 minutes. First session
Used to bring a cold wet flannel into the sauna and sit on it. Looked ridiculous, dried out in 5 minutes, and wasn't really doing much. This is a proper upgrade. Cooling lasts the full session, nothing to hold in place, and you don't look like a weirdo on a wet cloth. Simple product that just works.
Not cold. Not uncomfortable. Just... right.
I normally tap out around 15 mins because the heat gets uncomfortable down there specifically. First session wearing these I hit 24 minutes without even clock watching. The cooling removes that discomfort completely so you can focus on breathing and getting the full benefit. I've since hit 30 mins twice which I'd never done before.
I measured it. 8-9°C cooler. Here's the data.
Was worried a frozen gel pack against your skin would be too much. It's not. The cotton creates enough barrier that it's more of a pleasant coolness than anything sharp. Feels quite nice when you first sit down actually. I'm a 33 waist, went Medium — snug but not tight. Pack doesn't move around at all.
It just works. Ordering two more.
I track everything so I tested this properly. Same sauna frequency, duration, diet and supplements — only variable was adding the briefs. Infrared thermometer showed the pouch area 8-9 degrees cooler than surrounding skin. At-home sperm test went from moderate to normal range after 10 weeks. The cooling is real and measurable.
4 months, 40+ washes. Still going strong.
Using mine 3x a week for four months now. No stretching, no fading, elastic still solid. Gel packs freeze and thaw perfectly every time. The zip on the pouch is surprisingly high quality too — smooth every time, never catches. Only gripe is I wish they did a 3-pack because laundry gets old
The cold plunge recharges the pack. Genius.
I do 3 rounds of sauna and cold plunge so needed something that survives the full protocol. The gel pack cools you through the sauna round, then the cold plunge basically recharges it. By round 2 and 3 the pack is still working because the plunge reset it. Non-negotiable part of my sauna kit now.
Your Sauna Habit Is Quietly Wrecking Your Sperm
Regular sauna sessions are proven to suppress sperm count, motility, and morphology. Studies show that just 2 sessions per week can significantly impair fertility, and it takes 2–3 months of zero heat exposure for levels to return to baseline.
Every time you step into 80°C+ heat, your testicles are pushed well beyond the 35°C threshold where sperm cells begin to die. And that counter resets every single session.
You shouldn't have to choose between the longevity benefits of heat therapy and your reproductive health.

How Our Product Helps You
The Cooling Pouch
A multi-layer insulated front pouch holds the gel pack securely against your body. The zippered design means zero sliding, zero bunching, and zero adjustments mid-session. Just insert and forget.
Premium Cotton Construction
When you're in 90°C heat, your pores are wide open and absorbing everything. That's why we use 95% premium cotton — no polyester, no nylon, no synthetic toxins. The 5% elastane is there purely for structural integrity to keep the pouch secure.
Freezable Gel Packs**
Each pair ships with 2× BPA-free, non-toxic gel packs. Freezes in under an hour, stays cold for 20–30 minutes, and re-freezes hundreds of times. Keep one in the freezer while you use the other.
