181 Piece all purpose kit- extra-large plastic case- 1 ea.

181 Piece all purpose kit- extra-large plastic case- 1 ea.I got a GREAT kit made by "First Aid Only" from Costco several years back. This kit also claims to be from "First Aid Only". If so, they must have gone cheapo. My old kit had a ton more bandages, including 4 not 2 butterfly wound closures, 4 castile soaps instead of 3, and at least twice as many of most of the other bandaids and other items listed on this one. Bandaids are cheap so why do they stiff ya? Also, my kit cost about 30 bucks, and it has more stuff. So can't recommend this kit keep looking. There are fewer items for a higher price and I also believe that the items are of lower quality than the one I got previously from the same company for a much lower price.

Curad Curad Non-Stick Pads With Adhesive Tabs

Curad Non-Stick Pads, 2 Inches X 3 Inches with Adhesive Tabs, 10 CountI had a box of the previous version of these, and liked them quite well. One pad would do for 24 hours if it stayed dry, and could even be removed and reapplied with the adhesive continuing to hold. The pad was woven cotton, and didn't get pesky fibers stuck in the wound.

This new version says "comparable to Telfa pads" on the box, as pictured, whereas the old one had real Telfa (as the item title says). I'm guessing the item for sale is as pictured, and the title is incorrect.

Anyway, I don't have an opinion on whether the imitation Telfa covering is better, worse or the same as real Telfa. But the adhesive doesn't hold as well, won't hold if you remove and reapply it, and the pad is spun cotton fiber that gets everywhere. You'll have to change these new ones more often.

I agree with the last reviewer. This does come off the wound fairly easily but it falls apart with the inner layers of cotton making a mess. I went to take it off and it came apart in layers with the non-stick layer still on my wound. It did pull off easily when I finally got a grip on it but with the other layers falling apart first, it wasn't very neat.

These used to be light brown in color, now are an unsubtle white.

The side tabs have gotten smaller and less sticky, so come off easily from parts of the body being flexed.

Poise Hourglass Pads, Ultimate, 27 Count

Poise Hourglass Pads, Ultimate, 27 CountI have used a couple of other pads for Incontinence, but have found Poise to the be best. Like the new hourglass shape, but wish they made it in the longer size. Appreciated the free shipping from Amazon, but would have appreciated it more, if I didn't have to order quite such a large order. Pricing at Amazon is competitive w/local retail in my area.

Poise Hourglass Pads, Ultimate, 27 Count This is an excellent pad. The sides that extend are fabric only so no glue stuff. I will now use only The Poise Hourglass Pads (both the Ultimate and Moderate). Thank you Poise for designing a great pad! Thank you Amazon for offering this Pad on Prime Eligible! I plan to order in a larger quantity to save time.

The new hourglass shape is not only more comfortable than the straight pads, it makes the pads more efficient by minimizing the side leaks that occur if the pad bunch up. I was skeptical about the length because I had been using the extra long variety , but I found my worries to be groundless. The hourglass shape and aborbent filling make these very effective.

I think that they are a big improvement over the traditionally shaped incontinence pads.

I was surprised that these worked really well. I have not had that much luck with Poise and usually defer to Tena, these pads were terrific.

Adventure Medical Kits Marine 100 Kit

Adventure Medical Kits Marine 100 KitThis did not include the compartment kit but was a cheap tuperware holder filled with two sandwich bags of items. Looks like it is an unprofessionally put together kit.

Just a lock-it box filled with first aid elements. You can buy the same things at the market and build this kit for half the price. Not impressed. Overpriced.

21st Century Red Yeast Rice

21st Century Red Yeast Rice Extract Veg-Capsules, 300-CountMy doctor recommended this exact product by 21st Century. It is safe to take, no contamination found as is sometimes found in other brands.

Found this large economy sized jar which I wanted instead of purchasing several smaller bottles. Would have preferred 600 mg size since these are 1200 mg size but take just once a day rather than twice a day..

Good value.

My mother uses Red Yeast Rice on her doctor's orders for controlling cholesterol. Since it is over-the-counter, she has to pay for supplements like this out of pocket. This option is very affordable and gives her a good supply.

I can't say how effective this product is as my husband just started taking it a couple of weeks ago. I will say that it was shipped quickly and I received it in no time at a very reasonable cost. He was taking a different brand that really wasn't doing anything so we hope that this will work. Will find out when he has blood work done in a few months.

Liquid Bonding Cement, 4 Oz. Can

Liquid Bonding Cement Packaging 4oz can TORBOT GROUP INC. TT410I used this bonding cement to glue the ears of my German Shepherd and it worked great.It held strong for over a week even with two other ones biting on the ears and playing rough.

I used this to attach molefoam to the insides of my puppy's ears. There was no need to wait the prescribed 3-4 minutes to get it to stick one minute was quite adequate. It worked great but did leave a residue when it fell off ten days later. Even though I used an adhesive removal permeated paper I really had to work to remove it. Had it not been for that I would have given this a 5 star rating.

Enfamil Newborn Infant formula Tub, Through 3 Months, 23.4-Ounce

Enfamil Newborn Infant formula Tub, Through 3 Months, 23.4-OunceI've been through several formulas and this one seems to work well for my baby. He doesn't spit-up as much with it and is less gassy. I like that it mixes better than some of the other products. It doesn't seem to stain like the other formulas and it's not as yellow as the other products I've tried. It actually looks like milk. As for price, I've seen many people complain about Amazon's prices on formulas, this one is very comparable. Same size same product comparison Walmart is $23.89 and Target is $23.78. I have Amazon Prime so I get free two day shipping. It's worth it for myself who lives an hour away from a Walmart and would have to pay shipping online for 5-10 business day delivery with either of those places. Overall, I hope this helps others looking to buy formula but remember all babies react differently to the various formulas. Good Luck!

Since breastfeeding didn't work out, we started out using Enfamil Lipil which caused my daughter to get terribly constipated. The Newborn formula was then recommended by our Pediatrician. It has been wonderful for my daughter who gobbles it up. She is currently 2 months old and doing great. This formula mixes very easily and has very little foam. She occasionally gets gas but no more constipation! I definitely recommend this formula.

We first tried breastfeeding our newborn for 3 weeks but due to unexpected condition we could no longer breastfeed. We started using this formula and so far it's been working great. This one has more Vitamin D than the Infant version, which I believe is essential to the newborns. It's relatively new so you won't find that many reviews on this product, but it's been working well with our baby.

I am supplementing with this formula. In the hospital they gave me this the first day and all was great but then, for some reason, they gave me Similac to feed him. He had two nursettes of Similac and spit up both times! I requested the Newborn Enfamil again and had no more spit upsnone! He is now seven weeks old and is doing great! We used Enfamil with my other son (now four) and he never spit up at all. I have no idea if that is anything to do with the formula but I think it would make it worth a try!

I started using this product after a C-section delivery with my newborn. Like many mothers out there I had problems producing enough breast milk to satisfy my son from the beginning. The hospital staff started supplementing my son on the Enfamil 2 oz. ready to feed bottles for infants which he seemed to tolerate fairly well. After we brought our son home we switched from the ready to feed plastic bottles to the Enfamil Powder "Lipil" for infants which unfortunately was causing him to spit up as well as making him extremely gassy. We then tried Earth's Best Organic Dairy formula for a couple of days with somewhat better results. Shortly thereafter our lactation consultant gave us a gift bag of Enfamil products which contained a sample of the Newborn formula as shown here. Our son tolerated the formula well. It doesn't bubble up nearly as much when you shake it up and it digests quicker like breast milk. My son received mostly breast milk up until 6 weeks of age and we supplemented 2 4 feedings a day with the Newborn formula mostly at night. At his 8 week check up he had gone from 6 lbs at birth to 12 lbs exactly. I was glad to have a formula to supplement with that he could tolerate. My only real issue with this product is that he was constantly hungry even when we started to increase his formula feedings between weeks 8 to 12. It got so bad towards the end of his third month that he was getting a formula feeding every 30 60 minutes in the afternoon and evenings and he was still waking up 2 3 times at night to feed. We had a lot of difficulty satisfying our son's hunger with this product. While overall I was happy with Enfamil Newborn, I wouldn't recommend this product for larger newborns. Thankfully he did not have any problems with excessive gas or spitting up with this particular Emfamil product and that was a huge relief so we were glad that we were introduced to this product early on.

Detachol Adhesive Remover 2/3 cc Vials (by the Each)

Detachol Adhesive Remover 2/3 cc VialsI used Tear Mender to set (glue) my dog's ears down. This product was recommended to remove the glue. Unfortunately, I played cheap and ordered this size. I didn't realize that the vial didn't just open...you have to break the glass vial! So by the time I carefully cracked the vial open a little and stuck a needle in to suck up the Detachol, I was left with 1/3cc. The product works, but the packaging and small quantity made it useless for me. Now I have to wait and spend more money to order a 0.5oz bottle or larger. Heck, since it DOES work and it DOESN'T smell terrible like Goo Gone--I have plenty of uses for this product. I will buy a large bottle and save myself the headache! Detachol is a gentle product and did not irriate my skin or nose (or the dog's.)

Boiron Homeopathic Medicine Calendula First Aid Lotion for Sunburn and Irritated Skin, 6.7-Ounce Bo

Boiron Homeopathic Medicine Calendula First Aid Lotion for Sunburn and Irritated Skin, 6.7 Ounce BottleThis is what my radiologist -and the entire Radiology Department at Inova Alexandria Hospital -give to their breast cancer patients undergoing radiation. They had me start applying it three times a day a few days before treatment. It was a month into my daily therapy before I even noticed a redness in the skin. This was as bad as the effects of the radiation got. They also distribute the ointment made from Calendula that comes in a tube and I found that applying this to the surgery scars gradually reduced the size of the keloids, which are now diminishing and, I hope, will eventually disappear. It's very gentle cream, is easily absorbed, and works. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for any skin irritation; if it can take care of potential after-effects of radiology, it should be good for many conditions. Good luck to all out there.

Love this lotion and have for years. You don't use it very fast, only when needed for itches and rash (although at one time I did use it to calm my skin with roseatia (sp)), but when I needed to replace it, I couldn't find it in my local drug stores or natural food shops, so I had to look for it on Amazon.

Let's make this very clear, it is not help for breast cancer. It is however, excellent for treatment of the burned skin radiation therapy causes.

My wife's Radiology M.D. recommended this to be used twice a day while my wife is undergoing radiation therapy for her breast cancer. It is doing an excellent job of minimizing the effects of the radiation on the skin. And the wonderful people at onlineRX here on Amazon were so great about shipping it out ASAP when they learned my wife was undergoing radiation therapy and our previous source for this product ran out. This was just prior to Memorial Day weekend . To go 3 days without this soothing product would have caused my wife a lot of discomfort and who knows how much more burned and damaged skin.

Both the product and the seller are truly wonderful. I only wish nobody else would ever need to go through radiation therapy for cancer, but I know better. If you are going to have to do it, do yourself a huge favor and stock up on Calendula First Aid lotion from the folks at onlineRX who sell it through Amazon.com.

I've been using this on my shoulders, where I have an internal neck injury. I read that Calendula might help reduce inflammation and even possibly break up some scar tissue and that's why I started using it. I cannot say if it's doing that, but I keep putting it on. I also cannot say is this might be helping my headaches, but they have been better. Calendula is also helpful in burns and I swim a lot so put this on after. If nothing else, it's a nice lotion and I'll continue using it.

Swan Isopropyl Alcohol, 99%, Pint, 16 OZ

Swan Isopropyl Alcohol, 99%, Pint, 16 OZGood alcohol. Very strong. I use it for putting in my ears, mixed with a little vinegar, to prevent ear infections from kayaking. If you buy the stuff in the stores, it is either 70% or 90% alcohol. That means it's also got a lot of water in it, which stays behind when the alcohol evaporates. Not good. This stuff leaves no water. The vinegar does, but the high acid content kills the bacteria later.

Unable to find 99% Isopropyl alcohol at local drug stores (70% being the available grade), I quickly found it on Amazon. HAZardous MATerial status delayed the shipment a bit, but it arrived well packed and as advertsed.

Buy Swan Isopropyl Alcohol, 99%, Pint, 16 OZ Now

I have rarely been able to find 99% Isopropyl alcohol in any drugstore, grocery store or big-box store. Isopropyl alcohol is available most commonly in 70% concentration and it's pretty esay to find it at 91%. 99% is more difficult to find in my experience.

The difference between the alcohol concentration levels is attained by the addition of water. Consequently, 99% concentration has only 1% water which means the alcohol will evaporate extremely quickly whereas 70% will not evaporate nearly as quickly.

For the minor scratches that you want to disinfect, you don't necessarily have to worry about the concentration level as much. But for use in cleaning circuit boards or other more critical tasks along those lines, you'll want this 99% concentration. Isopropyl Alcohol is a commodity so buy the cheapest you can find because there is no difference between brands as long as the concentration is the same.

Can't find 99% alcohol locally. Use this for cleaning and disinfecting. Very good for electronics since freon is no longer available. The shipping is a little expensive, so I ordered three at a time. The shipping was still a bit more than the product itself.
