HOW IT WORKS

About 74 days, or approximately 10 weeks. This process is continually beginning anew, however, so any treatment for male infertility will ideally be done over a period of several months.

Heat can kill sperm, but just as importantly, it creates conditions that complicate your body’s ability to efficiently produce healthy sperm, resulting in lesser quality of movement (“sperm motility”) and shape ("sperm morphology"), as well as lesser quantity (“sperm count”). A consistent scrotal temperature increase of even just a couple of degrees adversely affects sperm production.

Studies have shown that occasionally reducing the temperature of the scrotal area by just 3-6 degrees Fahrenheit can reverse male infertility. The enzymes responsible for testosterone and sperm production work most effectively at a certain optimally cool temperature, so you don’t want to be out of that zone. Keep yourself cool, and your body will be able to do its job most efficiently.

Our ergonomic SnowWedges™ have undergone extensive testing with consulting doctors. They are designed with a central hinge that cleverly molds the around your body to reach maximum surface area and maximum cooling. Unlike normal icepacks, they won’t get you wet, and you won’t have to sit there holding ice for hours. Admit it: even if you understand that testicular cooling is good for you, and even if you want a child more than anything, you’re not likely to keep up an unpleasant, messy, and time-consuming routine. With Snowballs you can keep moving, keep working, and keep playing, without wasting time thinking about a problem that you’re undoubtedly devoting enough mental and physical energy to already.

Studies of men who cooled their testicles nightly showed a significant increase in sperm count after just eight weeks, and a further increase after twelve weeks. Given the time it takes to produce sperm, three months of treatment is recommended to see a marked improvement.

Heat is your enemy. Avoid saunas, baths, and excessively hot showers. Then put your laptop anyplace other than your lap (where they've been shown to increase your temperature by 2.8 degrees, which is more than enough to do some damage).

Stop smoking. Drink less, and avoid hard alcohol. In short, sound mind in sound body. Live well, and be healthy for your own sake first. Use Snowballs daily and make these lifestyle changes, and you’ll almost certainly see an increase in sperm count and quality, giving yourself the best shot for conceiving.
