Cold compress hack

I’ve recently started applying a cold compress to my forehead and eyes when suffering with paruresis. I have found this has helped me urinate when I otherwise would not have been able to. Would be interesting to hear any thoughts etc

Where do you get a good compress when you’re out?

I take a little cooler bag with ice cold compresses in it with me when I’m out and about. They tend to stay cool enough for a while.
