5. I'd recommend the soft gel packs that you put in the freezer or microwave. You can do either with the same pack.

Edited to add: I keep one in the freezer and one on the shelf for when I need a hot pack. 20-30 secs in the microwave and it’s ready to go. You can also put the ones I have in boiling water if you don’t have a microwave.
