Ace Lumbar Brace, One Size Adjustable

Ace Lumbar Brace, One Size AdjustableThere are a couple of problems with this back brace:

1. It is too big. If you are a fit woman, this back brace will not fit very well. I have a 27 in waist, 39 in hips and it is a big pain to wrap this thing around myself, plus it poofs out on top.

2. After 1 week of use, the fabric is too smoothed/worn out for the velcro to stick where it needs to in order to provide support.

With a price of $30, I'd say one week of regular use is not a very good value.

The size is not really clear.

So it was not large enough since I am overweight. My wife had to modify it.

I like that it is white, but wasn't certain how supportive it would be as all the more expensive ones are black. It keeps me from bending the wrong way. I wear it to work where I do light freight, and it's comfortable and airy, no sweating.

Adventure Medical Rescue Signal Mirror

Adventure Medical Kits Sol Rescue Flash Signal Mirror, .6-OunceBought this to add to my camping bag for emergency purposes. There are lots of signal mirrors out there, so i chose to go with this brand hoping that a specialty company with a limited range of products would offer something unique or special in their offering.

Well i was wrong, its a signal mirror. I guess there isn't much else you can do with it lol. Many of the brand names claim their mirror signals reflect over how ever many miles. I don't know about that, but i did reflect this one across the street into the neighbors house and it was bright in full sun. I do like its small size, which makes it easy to slip into any pocket on even an Altoids tin for a small Survival kit. It has a small hole if you want to attach a lanyard. Its plastic, which may be a downside to some. I heard plastic scratches and the reflective surface will flake off. This has not happened to mine, but it is protected in a soft case and not used often other than practice.

Out of the package i noticed a small issue on mine. The layers were glued together slightly off, the top layer sticks out slightly from the bottom layer of plastic. The mirror works, but makes the reflected light shoot off at a bit of an angle. Annoying, but not worth sending back.

When it comes to a signal mirror, you need one in your kit for the what if, but don't break the bank. If you purchase this brand or another, Choose the size (2x3, 4x6) which fits your kit. Practice. Know how to use it, then put it in a sleeve or case in your bag and hope you never need to pull it out.

This is smaller than my other signal mirrors, but I suppose "size isn't everything". It's plastic, so keep it protected from scratching or it will not reflect as well over time.

There really isn't much you can say about signal mirrors. I got these because they are $2 cheaper than a Ultimate Survival Technology mirror. They work.....they reflect. But honestly, you can do the same thing with a CD.

Good looking mirror. Reflects nicely and easy to aim with the center hole. The lack of a bag would be a problem except it fit into my ID holder. So now the mirror won't get scratched bouncing around in my survival kit.

This signal mirror is very easy to use. You won't need to have any actual knowledge on how to use signal mirrors.

The only con is that it's not actually water resistant, since after my first dive the layer between the mirror and the back started to peel off.

Dumex Surecare Eye Pads Sterile 2 5/8 Inches X 1 5/8 Inches --- 25

Dumex Surecare Eye Pads Sterile 2 5/8 Inches X 1 5/8 Inches --- 25These were are great bargin exp with the price at $0.37 each total cost. They are sterile, round and plently big enough.

Price these pads at Rite Aid or CVS, and you'll see that the price here is very good especially with home delivery in the bargain. I like that the pads are sterile, soft, and absorbent. Mrs. Spudman recently had toe surgery and found these pads to be the perfect size to wrap around her tender toe. The pads are sealed so securely that the package must be opened with a pair of scissors; this ensures that they remain sterile.

Note: These eye pads should not be confused with Apple's I-pads. I know because these pads come with no wires, no screen, no controls.

Quite large nice size. I searched and searched for the ultimate First Aid Kit, but could not locate one that had everything I wanted in it. I ended up buying a smaller $25+ version that had a LOT of smaller, individually wrapped items and then researched about 10 on the market that I liked parts of and printed out their contents. I went line by line and crossed out what I did not want in mine and highlighted what I did want. I bought a very large, plastic tool box to store it all in and now I am ready for BEAR! The entire "personalized" kit is NOT cheap, but it is customized with anything and everything but the kitchen sink. If you use coupons (Bed Bath & Beyond) and gift cards, etc., you can save some money when building the kit and VERY IMPORTANT if you have a flex spending account, MANY if not most of these first aid items are reimbursable with FLEX SPENDING DOLLARS!!!

Lanacane Anti-Bacterial First Aid Spray: 3.5 OZ

Lanacane Anti-Bacterial First Aid Spray: 3.5 OZGreat product! Purchased this for a trip that we have taken...worth your money Works great!! Does the job, a terrific product. AAAAAAAAAA++++++++

If you get a large abrasion or deep cut, I wouldn't use this. Otherwise it's excellent.

I recently removed a good half dollar sized area of skin on my knee in a fall (with long pants on). I tried the spray and the pain is unbearable for up to a minute until the benzocaine starts helping. If you can stand a lot of pain, it might be worth it to put it on abrasions as well.

I don't see why they had to use such a painful antiseptic.

Pickle Bandages (Quantity=2 Tins)

Pickle BandagesThese were cute novelty bandages I got for an inside joke between my cousin and me but the description pages lists these as being Latex-Free, which I was thrilled with because she is allergic to Latex. I was disappointed to see on the package when it came that they do in fact contain latex and they would only be something to look at, she would be unable to use them. The cute little gift inside was a riot. If you don't have a latex allergy, these would be great.

Nexcare No Sting Liquid Bandage Spray -- 0.61 fl oz

Nexcare No Sting Liquid Bandage Spray -- 0.61 fl ozI have a skin condition on my arms that makes it impossible to use ordinary bandages. My thin skin tares when I try to remove them. I have tried other liquid bandage products and they sting greatly and take for ever to dry. The smell of these others lingers for hours. The Nextcare spray bandage doesn't sting or smell. It dries fast and lasts for days. I am so happy the item is available on line since it is hard to find in drug stores.

To be honest, I find New-Skin's brush on liquid bandage to be the best product of this type on the market, however there are some applications where, Nexcare No Sting Liquid Bandage Spray, a 3M product, could be a good alternative to New Skin.

New Skin does a great job of sealing wounds, but it definitely does sting. The pain usually doesn't last long, and is manageable for most adults, but it could definitely be an issue for children, who may become afraid of using the product. Nexcare Liquid Bandage spray, does not seal as well as New Skin, but it is completely painless, and doesn't sting at all. In the case of a large scrape, applying by spray, could be much less painful than brushing on.

Another matter is hygiene, as some may have issues with using a product that is brushed on the open wounds of various users. While the New Skin solution is an antiseptic, it is still possible for solid particles to be transmitted via the applicator brush. This kind of potential contamination is virtually eliminated in the case of a spray.

Convenient, painless, and easy to use, Nexcare's 0.61 ounce bottle is supposedly adequate for 60 applications.

The product description reads "No-sting formula.Waterproof.Ideal for larger scrapes and abrasions."

I disagree with all three of those claims. This spray on bandage stings a fair amount, takes forever to dry (and then washes off in your first shower), thereby making it far from ideal for large scrapes & abrasions. My biggest problem with this product is that it remains sticky even after it has dried. I recommend you skip this spray on shortcut and stick with the brush on NewSkin. It works *so* much better.

Have you ever had a dog with a wound on their foot, and you tried to bandage it normally...minutes are usually all it takes to get the bandage off. Not with Liquid Bandage, it goes on easily and doesn't come off and protects the wound...great stuff.

I have two incredibly active little girls who are constantly getting scrapes during the summer. Regular liquid skin stings horribly and is not very good for bigger areas. This spray is fantastic for covering scraped knees or elbows, and it truly doesn't sting! My daughter calls it the magic spray, because it takes boo boos away. :)

The bottles aren't very big, but that's a pretty nice thing for tucking into your purse or diaper bag.

Expedition Medical Kit by Adventure Medical Kits

Expedition Medical Kit by Adventure Medical KitsGood kit compared to the usual bandaids and aspirin products. Has almost all the right items. I added a bottle of Betadine , suture kit , more OTC drugs like Tylenol and some Quickclot large bandages. If the bag had more room I'd put water , alcohol ,insect sting kit , snakebite kit and cold/warm packs plus water filter and signalling gear. I did add their trauma kit , dental kit and an extra surgical travellers kit but ran out of room. This is a medium level kit with a splint , matches and other nice extras. If they'd add a few of the items I did , put more of what is included or drop the price I'd be more inclined to buy again. You should lay everything out , inventory it and then add your extras by priority as you run out of room fast. The med evaluation forms could be left out for instance and add a big magnifying glass to see the first aid book plus start fires and..add a reliable flashlight. Ever tried bandaging a cut in the dark ? Don't.

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Infusing Serum, 3.3 Ounce

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Infusing Serum, 3.3 OunceCustomer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have badly-behaving hair. It's gray, dry, wavy and frizzy (Sounds beautiful, right?) and I've been searching for several years for just the right product to tame it. Within the past year I've discovered that products with keratin are the best for my purposes so I jumped at the chance to try this Tresemme keratin serum. I've now used it a few times and am pretty happy with it, but I have to say that the weather lately where I live (South Florida) has been drier and cooler than usual so the frizzing problem is lower than usual for me.

This does smooth and help with styling and does give a little shine to the hair also. So for me it is doing what it's supposed to. This is the 5th keratin leave-in product I have tried and it's up there close to my favorites in desired results. To give you an idea, I've tried It's a 10 miracle leave -in Plus Keratin 10oz which I wasn't happy with because, although it smoothed the hair, it left it a bit dry and with very little shine. Then there was Keratin Complex Shine 1.7 oz. That one felt a bit sticky and heavy and left the hair looking somewhat greasy, in spite of using only a very small amount of product.

The two products I've been using with success before trying this Tresemme keratin were Keratin Coppola Complex Infusion Keratin Replenisher 1.7 oz and Global Keratin Serum 1.69oz. Both of these are excellent and leave the hair silky, shiny and smooth. This Tresemme comes in a close second to those two. It does not leave the hair as silky and shiny but it's pretty good, especially considering its much lower price.

I will probably be buying this Tresemme product again when my sample runs out, especially if I learn that it works well even when the weather turns more humid and hotter.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was disappointed by this product as I use Tresemme for most of my other hair product needs. My hair is a little on the dry side but fairly healthy. I color it but not lighter. I need a "smoothing" serum for my hair because it is just wavy enough to be frizzy when I flat iron/blow dry it. This product was "too wet." When I put it in my hair (even a small amount) it was like spraying it with water and it curled back up. I am also not a fan of how it smells. I tried it a few different ways and still wound up putting a different keratin product in it to smooth it. When I tried it in my wet hair it did give a little more volume to the bottom of my hair but still didn't really seem to have a smoothing affect. I would try something different if you are looking for a sleek hairstyle.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This hair serum is not bad, but I prefer the crystal clear, silicone based serums like Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum. While this serum does contain some `cones' it also contains enough other ingredients to make it a bit inferior to my regular hair serum. And, what I really don't like, is that the first ingredient is water. I don't know why they felt the need to dilute it with water. Overall, though, this serum does help reduce frizziness a little bit, but it is not as `slick' and slippery as my silicone serums. The fragrance is nice and very subtle.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My hair has always been a pain, and only seems to be getting more unruly each passing year. I've got curly hair that gets incredibly frizzy. I don't blow dry or straighten my hair because it only ends up being an even more frizzy mess when it becomes heat damaged. I also have oily skin and hair, which results in me having to wash my hair daily, or else my hair ends up looking completely gross. This causes a bit of a dilemma, since my hair becomes a dried out frizzy mess whilst I try to keep the crown of my head from looking too greasy.

I recently saw a commercial for this line of products and was eager to try it. I have to sayI love it! It works on both wet and dry hair. I climb out of the shower in the morning, brush my hair, and run this serum through the strands of my hair. If I shower in the evening, I simply wait until morning and again comb some of the serum through my (now dry) hair. I generally avoid wearing my hair down because it becomes such a frizzy mess by midday, but since I started using this, I've actually been willing to wear my hair down a bit! I've even taken to straightening my hair, since my fly-aways are well controlled by the serum! I make sure to avoid getting it too close to the roots of my hair though, as this is obviously an oily product. Last thing I want is to aid my oil problems!

One other thing I will comment on is the scentit's a light clean scent that I love! The scent also seems to last, since I have found myself on more than one occasion turning my head and catching a whiff of my hair product. I love those moments when I find myself saying, "Wow! My hair smells really good!".

I live in an area that becomes very humid in the Spring/Summer, so I'll be curious to see how well this works when the weather gets gross. My hair is incredibly unruly in humidity. Thus far, however, I've tried other keratin products in the past with very little results, so I'm thrilled by how well this product has worked!

I have fine wavy/curly weather reactive hair that has been color treated for years. Its been hard to find a hair serum or lotion that will allow my curly hair to remain frizz free while keeping my curls shiny and bouncy and in tact. This serum is light, not greasy and goes on your hair and spreads easily. My hair dried faster and my curls were soft, bouncy and shiny. It lasted throughout the day and my hair even looked good the following day. I then wore my hair straight thru blowdrying after applying the serum. My hair was straight and smooth and super shiny. Id definately recommend this product for straight or curly hair.
