Reviewer: K. Bridges,
only used it twice. the first time, it worked great. The second time, after only a few hours the insulin was hot and the pouch was leaking the gel crystals. I had to throw it away after only one good use of it, along with my insulin. I was not to hard on it, kept it safe in a bag, and cared for it as followed by directions. Now I just use an ice pack in a "lunch bag" with my insulin and it works fine.
Smelly, short lived, and clever

Reviewer: Low Blood Sugar, Minneapolis, MN USA
I bought this product. It didn't last very long (eventually it stopped working after a few weeks to a few months). It would get slimy and kinds smelly too. Clever idea and I would buy this type of product again if they could figure out how to make it last longer.
As advertised!

This Poucho Duo Pen wallet kept 2 insulin pens below 72 degrees for a week in Maui where it was 78-85 and humid. I re-wet it one time. At home again, I have it drying on the sink for a week, still not entirely dry, but I am cognizant of the review that complained about developing bad smells so I will let it get very dry and not cool before storing it for next time. I put a small thermometer in with the pens to check the temperature and felt confident that my insulin was not overheating.
A YEAR LATER: I have used this Poucho several times by now, letting it dry thoroughly after each use. I keep it in the frige and take it with me out to dinner with a pen in it. I don't wet it for these short times and feel the insulin in better off than naked in my purse. The trick is to remember to replace it and the pen in the frige when you get home!
