AOKI A123 Transparent Dressing With Label 4" x 4 3/4" 100 per Box -- Compare to 3M Tegaderm 1626W

These are nearly half the price of the 3M equivalent and my experience is they are better overall. The packaging and application seem more robust and while they do start to roll on the edges if soaked (which they shouldn't be subjected to anyway) I find I can smooth and reapply them as they dry. Overall they stay on my skin better that the 3M Tegaderm and using these bandages as a cover for medication patches makes them stay on and saves me additional money.

I've only used two of them so farI have to place them over a medication patch because the patch won't stick on well enough. I change the patch on every 3 days and the 3M brand was so expensive. This one is just a basic equivalent and it is a bit better even because the edges of it don't come loose as much as the others. This dressing does come up a little bit but I've never had to take one off early because of it. This time I just bought the 100 count. If they continue to work this well, next time I will order more.

This is a very good product! It works as well as those costing much more. Since we use a new dressing every other day it is a nice savings.

This is a good alternative to Tegaderm and about 50% cheaper. The adhesive is more than adequate, although it does tend to occasionally curl up slightly at the edges, unlike the Tegaderm. But the price savings is very substantial and justifies the selection. Haven't tried it in water/the shower yet.

Imak Pil-O-Splint - Wrist - Adjustable

I did not purchase this splint for carpal tunnel syndrome, but rather to help alleviate tendonitis in my fingers, which is made worse by my clenching my fists while I sleep (which apparently is quite common). It's OK, but not quite perfect for this use because it does not quite limit the range of motion of the fingers enough.

The splint runs along the back of the hand to the fingertips, but the material is quite stretchy, so unless you wrap it excessively tight the fingers can still move a good amount. Wrapping some support bandage around the end of the splint reduces this movement.

So overall I'm reasonably happy with it, but be warned if you're buying it to prevent clenching your fist at night.

WoodyKnows Ultra Breathable Natural Fit Nose / Nasal Filters for Hay Fever, Pollen & Dust Allergy,

I share my positive experience with this wonderful product. I tried this, and it really helps!

(1) It really works! I have terrible allergies that remain, even with medication. This is a much better option than wearing a full face mask. It does help immensely in alleviating my allergies and allows me to be outside and drive without looking like a freak wearing a full mask.

(2) The nose filters fit well. There are eight sizes, and the size IIR fit me very well (no air enters my nostrils from around the sides when I breathe either in or out meaning it is only filtered air that I am breathing through my nose). The flexible frame is also helpful for better fit.

(3) Easy to breathe. Unlike a mask, which has a large surface air for air flow exchange, the nose filters are tiny and a lot of air has to be squeezed through a tight place. It is so amazing that the air can pass easily through such a tight place.

(4) Good quality. The filter is thin and you can almost look through it. The frame is slim and flexible and no fibers or particles come out from the filters. All above indicate very good manufacturing quality.

(5) Sometimes the nose filters become obstructed with nasal secretions; people with allergies have nasal secretions or dried up flakes of mucus in their noses. At that time, I can clean it easily with water and tissue. It is very convenient for my daily use.

In summary, this product is an amazing idea that works in practice, and I'm really pleased with this product!

As I have stated before, "be sure to get the right size". Woody has been extremely good about following up on his products and was quick to respond. In these days of mass merchandising, it is nice to know that companies like WoodyKnows cares about their products and their customer's satisfaction. Woody was quick to replace my first order with ones(IIR) we thought would fit. I just received the replacements which fits a lot better. I think these nasal filters work very well so I strongly recommend ordering these from WoodyKnows.

I give WoodyKnows a 5 Stars-thumbs up for customer service, satisfaction and a great product!

This is a completely revised review of the product.

First, be warned the fitting process is crucial. I gave this product 1 star in my first review because it was so frustrating. I suspect this occurred because my nostril shape is somewhat atypical. Following the standard measurement procedure led straight to the wrong sizes.

However, after I posted my review, Woody contacted me and walked me through the fitting again. It turns out the company has just come out with an improved version of this product which should fit better.

Other customer service notes: product description was corrected rapidly after I spotted a small error.

I just receive the new versions two days ago. So first impressions:

The improved version does fit much better. Each size should work with more variations in shape and size. If I follow the fitting instructions, the correct filter size is still not optimal for me but I think contacting customer service is the right step. Also, buy multiple trial packs to check your size.

Fitting: I ended up choosing one size larger than the expected size. Really, it should work but I was having trouble poking the correct size deeply enough for proper position.

(Customer Service Update April 26, 2013): After I posted this review, Woody got back to me immediately and sent a second filter in my size. I'd originally purchased two filters. Now that's customer service when they respond faster than you do. Too bad there are only 5 stars!

Comfort: I notice the filter is present. It is not uncomfortable.

Air flow: There is some drag but nothing like having a stuffy nose. It gets easier after an hour as you learn to tolerate this.

Cosmetic: Yes, there is a small plastic loop between your nostrils. It bothered me at first but then nose piercings bother me much more and I decided to ignore this.

Function: Too bad the worse of the California pollen season has already passed. We'll see what happens when the summer smog hits. (Update: April 26, 2013) For the rest, here is an early evaluation.

At first, I kept poking the sensitive membranes in the nostril and things started watering aborting that insertion attempt. After about 2-3 days of use, I've gotten the hang of inserting the filters on the first try.

For me, even with allergy medications, I need to blow my nose about 3-4 times per hour. With the filters, I need to do this every 2-3 hours plus it helps greatly with post-nasal drip. Since I'm allergic to dust mites, pollen and mold, the best method is 1) wash hands and face, 2) use a sinus rinse then drain sinuses (very important to drain!) and 3) insert nose filters. I sure hope the filters are durable enough to last a month with multiple daily insertions.

So on the cost savings side, I don't have to spend so much on tissues. And I can replace the public embarrassment and lack of hygiene associated with blowing my nose with a small plastic loop instead.

(Filters not yet tested on animal dander, cigarette smoke, etc... but I'm expected positive results)

I've decided to continue antihistamine use. You never know.

Convenience: Cleaning is easy.

Inconvenience: must remove and clean if you need to blow your nose.

Cost: It's more expensive than the run of the mill antihistamine (generic claritin, zyrtec) but I get very dried out using these medications. As a result, I end up drinking a lot of water at night and waking up frequently. Good sleep is worth the extra cost.

Warning: Very easy to lose the smaller sizes down the drain/toilet just like a pair of contacts.

Summary: If you suffer from exposure to large clouds of irritants (lots of dust, pet dander, heavy pollutants) this filter is well worth a try. Don't skimp on the fitting step.

Is a 3*** too cruel? Especially since I keep ordering the filters. Ok because I really do like the idea and concept let me share my Q&A

Quality (****) The quality is good...borderline great. Eventually they wear out from the pulling, adjusting and cleaning. It's hard to have durability in a sensitive area like your nose but WoodyKnows is real close. Compared to the competition out there (I tried the blue ones out and another PLASTIC one), WoodyKnows is #1

Comfort (**) As I praise their quality and somewhat durability The comfort just isn't there for me. My nose is sensitive and I constantly have to adjust it back in my nose or take out because of irritation. I would love if I could go a full hour without touching or readjusting it (I am a nose breather)

Ease of Use (****) I would give 5***** because it's just like the picture shows. Insert and go, but I constantly have to have my iphone help me re-adjust. Still easy enough...

Price (***) rounding up, $17 for these are a bit pricey especially since they ware out. I would LOVE to have my insurance cover these as I buy in bulk, still it's not price gauging...it's reasonable, but not an OMG order while still in stock.

At the end of my 3*** rating I will order the bulk buy...it's not a bad rating, It' means not fantastic but not bad. I wouldn't mind a competitor or Woody catering to the sensitive nose folks

I was skeptical about putting something in my nose to prevent allergy symptoms.

This is the first day and night my nose has stayed open.

I just ordered more of these.

21st Century Apple Cider Vinegar 300mg Tablets, 250 Count (Pack of 2)

I will never go with out this product again!

I have struggled with adult acne for years and have spent hundreds of dollars between dermatologists, treatments and washes. It took a huge toll on my confidence. My sister suggested trying Apple cider vinegar. I was very skeptical but more importantly desperate to find anything that might work. Within one week I noticed a huge difference. My face was not as red and the acne was less noticeable. after two weeks of two tablets in the morning and two at night my face and back were totally clear! I have been taking them religiously now for 5 months and have not even had a breakout. I also suggested it to a friend who has constantly been on and off acutane and other medications for his acne. he has been taking for about 3 weeks now and has noticeably clearer skin as well. I am very excited for him and would recommend this for anyone who has suffered from acne. There is no research to prove this helps but for the price it is definitely worth a shot. I would recommend taking with food as it can make your tummy hurt on an empty stomach. and please do your research to make sure these will not mess with any other medications you may be using. GOOD LUCK!

Perfect dose for our needs. We use to prevent UTI s work great!! Very consistent . Easy to swallow good value for quality product

4 ounce containers are the right size for breastmilk storage in the fridge or freezer. With repeated use, they will eventually they will crack and spill, but they are cheaper than other storage solutions, pre-sterilized, and have a wide top for each pouring.

Active Manuka Honey Cream-30% Active Manuka Honey UMF 15+

For years, I suffered from severe eczema on my hands and arms and could not find anything to heal my skin. I tried the prescribed ointments and creams, but could still not get rid of the excessive dryness and itchiness.

I tried the Active Manuka Honey Cream and immediately saw results after the first application! My skin was not cracking and the eczema cleared up in only a few days. This is the only product that has given me results and now my skin is eczema-free!

A member of my family has a persistent patch of eczema that is constantly itchy. Use of prescription steroidal creams hasn't helped much, so we started to try out other products. Application of the manuka honey cream to the eczema produces an immediate burning sensation. Eventually that sensation subsides and the patch isn't itchy for a while (but just for a little while). After regularly using the product for 3-4 weeks, there hasn't been a noticeable improvement in the eczema. The cycle of itching, scratching, inflammation, and treatment continues.

I would still say the product is worth trying as it may be effective for you. Also, it has other uses, such as treatment of burns, cuts, and wounds.

I had a very mild case of eczema on two fingers and saw a dermatologist who prescribed a steroid-type cream. I wanted to avoid using steroids of any kind, so I stopped using after only a few days. I looked into other "more natural" options and read about the benefits of manuka honey. I thought I'd buy a tube just to see. I've used it for only 2 weeks now and my eczema is so much better. I didn't have any pain/itching with my eczema so I can't review on that, but the manuka honey did make the little bubbles (gross) and thick callus almost disappear. I am so happy and will continue to use the lotion. I use it throughout the day and put it on before bed. It's slightly sticky (similar to eucerin-type lotion).

Very pleased with results -highly recommend!!

Pet Bitter Bandage - Self-Adhesive - Lightweight

I wrapped up my dog's foot, spent alot of time trying to make sure it was correct. My dog had the bandage off in a second. Just about missed it, it was so fast! I don't think the bitter slowed her down at all!

Worked well as a bandage, and I certainly thought it tasted bad when it got on my fingers, but apparently dogs are not so discerning. The bitterness was not a deterrent to him and he managed to get the bandage off.

Bacitracin First aid Antibiotic Ointment, USP - 1 Oz

Bacitracin has become a staple in my medicine cabinet. I use it on minor cuts and burns.

I first learned about this product from my dermatologist who cut a basal cell off my chin. He immediately applied Bacitracin to the area and suggested I use it for the next few days. The cut healed without a trace and faster than I expected.

As stated on the tube: "First aid antibiotic to help prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns. May be covered with a sterile bandage. Manufactured for Dynarex Corporation, Orangeburg, New York. Product of India."

When I was young, if I had a comparatively minor cut or scratch my parents would practically have to hold me still to apply a little bit of iodine to the affected area. Wow, how that hurt! In contrast, Bacitracin doesn't hurt; it is a fine antibiotic ointment for minor cuts and scratches that is easy to apply and this can even be covered with a bandage if the situation warrants it. Bacitracin can also help prevent skin burns.

Bacitracin does the job well. Use it before the expiration date on the package; if the expiration date has passed replace the tube with a fresher one.

I highly recommend this product. It is infinitely preferable to the old iodine I used to be stuck suffering with when I had a minor cut or a scratch that worried my parents.

Great to have in an emergency kit as well as neosporin. I've used this product for my Angular cheilitis along with lamisil. This was what the doctor recommended and it did clear it up. It has a bitter taste to it so you know it's near your mouth when I put this product on.

Other than that, I wouldn't know if it is better then neosporin but these two products helped me.
