How We Fund This Site
Ice Bath Lab (icebathlab.au) is an independently operated website. We are not owned by, employed by, or exclusively affiliated with any ice bath or cold plunge manufacturer. Running this site — including hosting, research, product testing, photography, and content creation — costs real money. To keep the lights on and the content free for you, we earn revenue in two ways:
Ice Bath Lab may in the future participate in affiliate programs. When we do, affiliate links will be clearly identified on each page. Currently, this site contains no affiliate links.
1. Affiliate Commissions
Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a product link and make a purchase from a third-party retailer or brand, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or navigate directly to the retailer’s website.
We participate in affiliate programs with Australian and international brands.
This list may change as we add or remove affiliate partnerships. We will keep this page updated accordingly.
2. Display Advertising
We may display advertisements on this website through third-party ad networks such as Ezoic, Mediavine, or Google AdSense. These ads generate revenue based on impressions and/or clicks. We do not have direct control over which specific advertisements are displayed, though we make efforts to ensure ads are appropriate for our audience.
Our Editorial Independence
This is the part that matters most.
Affiliate relationships and advertising revenue never influence our editorial content, product ratings, rankings, or recommendations. Here’s how we keep things honest:
- We choose which products to review based on reader interest, Australian market relevance, and search demand — not based on which brands offer the highest commissions or send free products.
- Our product ratings and verdicts are determined by hands-on testing, independent research, and honest assessment. A product with a generous affiliate program will receive a poor rating if it deserves one.
- We review and recommend products from brands we do not have affiliate relationships with. If a great product doesn’t have an affiliate program, we will still recommend it and link to it without earning anything.
- Affiliate links are clearly identified on our pages. When a link may earn us a commission, you will know.
- Commission rates do not affect product rankings or “top pick” selections in our roundup articles.
Sponsored Content
At this time, Ice Bath Lab does not publish sponsored posts, paid reviews, or accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage. If this policy ever changes, all sponsored content will be clearly and prominently labelled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” in accordance with Australian Consumer Law and ACCC guidelines.
Free Products and Samples
From time to time, brands may provide products for review purposes at no cost, or at a discounted rate. If a product was received free or at a discount, this will always be clearly disclosed within the review (e.g., “This product was provided by [Brand] for review purposes”).
Receiving a free or discounted product does not guarantee a positive review. Our assessment is based on the same independent testing criteria we apply to every product we evaluate, regardless of how it was obtained.

Why Transparency Matters to Us
We believe you deserve to know exactly how and why we make money. Trust is the foundation of everything we do. If you ever feel that a recommendation on this site doesn’t reflect genuine, independent judgement, we want to hear about it.
