We've all been stuck using a lunch-box-style ice pack to ease headache pain — too often it's the only option in the freezer.

Yes, anything cool helps, but let's be real: the rigid, leaky design is hardly healing.

Since it's second nature to reach for a cold compress when headaches hit, why not invest in one that's functional?

Don't wait for your next spell to get an ice pack that targets your pain points. Any of the following serviceable options will be a beacon of light in your fridge.

Headache Hat

Designed to wrap around your head or neck, the Headache Hat ($40) stays put where you need relief most. Its lightweight band is made from comfortable cotton, spandex, and microfleece, so it's soft on your skin and protects from leakage. Best of all, its flexible design is perfect for packing, so you're prepared for that on-the-go ache.

The Coldest Ice Pack

No frills or gimmicks, The Coldest Ice Pack ($24) is listed as an Amazon Choice for a reason: it's reliable. The gel-based, reusable compress doesn't need a fancy shape or unique features to get the job done. It's straight to the point in the best way. If you feel otherwise, the brand will make things right thanks to its "100 percent COLD-SOLID Happiness Guarantee."

Ticlo's Gel Eye Mask

When migraines, cluster headaches, or sinus pain arise, the eyes are often the first to suffer. That's where Ticlo's Gel Eye Mask ($19) comes to the rescue. Its reversible design offers varying layers of cooling comfort: you can opt for direct gel-to-skin contact, or if that's too cold, flip it over and use the fabric-covered side.
