? About Cool neck wraps

How long do they stay wet? Do you put them in a ziplock bag to bring them home in your suitcase? Is it necessary to put them in the fridge or freezer to have a cooling effect?

I love mine and use it all the time. The ones I have you just run under cold/cool water. You can put it in the ref. but I wouldn't put it in the freezer. If you did I wouldn't do it for very long. The gel beads can bloat up if you submerge it underwater for to long. It can get to bulky and annoying.
I hang it on the clothesline in the shower to dry. I also put it in a ziplock bag to store when I want to take it off and when traveling home.They stay wet quite a long time. Using a dryer is not recommended.

I also use the spray fans and regular mini fans too.

I'm going to make mine. Does the part that has the crystals in it just the half the is behind your neck? Is the part that ends up hanging on your chest just unbloated fabric?

The ones I have the crystals run around the back of the neck from about collar bone to collar bone. The "tie" up front is flat so you can tie it. I mention the bone to bone measurement in case you are making them for a child, you will want to make it smaller or they will be wearing a wet collar, not comfortable at all.

I've seen people mention making them in the past, what materials do you use?

This is a link on how to make them. I would also google a picture so you can see how they look. FYI you don't put the crystals in the ends. Just back where it rests on your neck. I kinda screwed up my first one. I bought Disney fabric for everyone. Should be fun.
