[Shielding: Clay] Part 2: Wraps that could actually hold an ice bag and Part 2: ThermiPaq wraps could be used to hold an ice bag.
Part 1 Ice bag wraps:
Part 1 ThermiPaq clay wraps
Rubberized ice bags have more depth than any other bag that can hold wet clay and keep it wet. Thermoplastic ice bags wick water and oil. Ice bags offer the most attenuation of any thing a person can wear. Your home made ice bags will have more clay and oil than manufacturers wet clay wraps. The latter is no more than a half inch deep. Before bedtime, I have put on five Walgreens clay wraps on my back and five on my abdomen. One 11 inch ice bag attenuates more than five wraps.
Wraps are not sold by themselves. They are sold with a gel pack or a wet clay pack. The large or extra large ThermiPaq could be glued to the inside of a helmet.
What is the name of the fabric wraps are made of? Do fabric stores sell it? Velco hook neither sticks to neoprene, jute nor flannel cotton. Adalid Gear described fabric as "polyester fleece" in the first photo on the right.
Two ice bags are necessary to shield optical radar (laser) and maser attacks. Wrap two wraps around the chest. The second wrap needs to have longer straps than the first wrap.
Wraps for 9 inch ice bag
A nine inch ice bag completely full is 2 1/2 inches deep plus the cap is one inch deep. It will not fit inside a Med-X back wrap. A nine inch bag half full will fit. Med-X wrap on abdomen falls down the waist to the hips. Med-X worn on the back does not fall down. Med-X does not have elastic straps. The straps are fabric. Med-X falls down due to the design of the wrap.
A completey full nine inch bag fits inside a large size ThermiPaq wrap.
An 11 inch ice bag filled half full fits inside wrap. The ice bag is heavy. The wrap's one elastic strap does not adequately hold the wrap on the body. Wrap should have two straps like ThermiPaq's extra large wrap. The straps should not be elastic. Replace straps with velco loop.
Both sizes accommodate an 11 inch ice bag depending on fullness. Half full in a large wrap or two-thirds full in an extra large wrap. More clay = more shielding. Use an extra large wrap for an 11 inch ice bag.
Wraps for 11 inch ice bag
There is no adequate wrap for a full 11 inch ice bag. Wrap would need to be very deep and have strong straps. Depth a full 11 inch ice bag is 3 5/8 inches plus cap is one inch deep.
Extra large ThermiPaq wrap is the best wrap for an 11 inch ice bag. But it can accommodate an 11 inch ice bag filled only 3/4 full.
Keep a wrap by chair, car seat and bed. Put on if being attacked while sitting or sleeping but not walking. Ice bag is too heavy to wear walking and falls down. Wrap on heart, abdomen or back. Place on lap to protect genitals. Hold against ear if ear drum is being lasered.
