questions? answered.

Everything people ask before they buy, and after the box arrives. If yours isn't here, a real person is one message away.

about the cap
Will it actually stay cold long enough?

~20 minutes of intense, freezer-fresh cold, then 30–40 minutes of gentle, soothing cool. No gel cap lasts forever. That's why our customers keep two or three on rotation: when one warms up, the next is already chilled. Keep it in the freezer so it's always ready.

Will it smell like chemicals?

No. The odorless gel took two years of formulation work, specifically because our founder hated the chemical smell of every other cap she tried while nauseous. Soothefy has no perceptible scent, cold or warm.

Will it fit my head?

One size with gentle stretch, fitting most adult heads from about 20 to 24 inches. The 360° wrap molds to your head rather than gripping it, plus a ponytail opening so you don't have to take your hair down.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

The fabric is hypoallergenic and the gel is sealed inside the cap, so there's no gel-to-skin contact. Customers with eczema, rosacea, and chemical sensitivities reach for Soothefy specifically because it doesn't irritate.

living with it
Can I sleep with it on?

Many customers do. It's soft enough to lie down in, side-sleeper friendly, no buckles, no hard plastic. Cold mode for the early flare; warm mode for evening wind-down.

Does the slide-up eye mask work with glasses?

Yes. The mask is soft and flexible and slides up above your brow line. With it up, glasses sit normally.

Can I use it warm too?

Yes. It is safe in both the freezer AND the microwave. For warm mode, microwave the cap for 20 to 30 seconds (check the cap before applying so it is comfortable, not hot). Many sufferers use cold mode for the flare and warm mode for evening wind-down or tension headaches.

Can I take it on a plane?

Yes, it's TSA-compliant and rolls into the included storage pouch. Chill it in the hotel mini-fridge on arrival. No more makeshift ziplock ice hats on the flight home.

orders, returns & the promise
My migraines are severe and chronic. Will this really help?

Honest answer: Soothefy is a drug-free comfort measure, not a replacement for your medication. It works alongside it. Many customers wear it in that waiting window before the meds kick in, or through flares meds can't touch. You have 60 days to find out on your own head, risk-free.

When will my order arrive?

Orders leave our UK warehouse within 24 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays), and you'll get a tracking link by email the moment yours ships. Most orders arrive within a few working days.

How do returns and the 60-day guarantee work?

Try it through real flares for up to 60 days. If it isn't the thing that finally helps, email hey@soothefy.comk and we'll sort a return and full refund. No arguing, no hoops.

Is this legit, or a random dropshipper?

Soothefy Ltd is a UK company (167-169 Great Portland Street, London) shipping from a UK warehouse within 24 hours. Real humans answer hey@soothefy.co.uk, and every order carries a 60-day money-back guarantee with free returns.
