Medical Adhesive - 3.2 oz spray
I am a active crossdresser. I have used several types of adhesives to attach my breastforms. This product works the best. It does not release during hot sweaty periods of the day and it has not harmed the forms.

Medical Alert Emergency ID Necklace - "Bee Sting Allergy" By Apex Healthcare Products
For the price this was a real deal. The only comment I would make is that the engraving on the back is so light that you have to look carefully at it to know there is anything engraved. I would have preferred to pay a couple more dollars and been able to read it. I am considering taking it to someone to re-engrave it so it can be read

Cosrich Hello Kitty Bye-Bye Boo-Boo Therapeutic Ice Pack For Pain & Fever Relief (Pack of 2), Colo
This item is a plush Hello Kitty (head only) plus bow that is approximately three inches in height and four to five inches in width. I'm mentioning the dimensions, since it wasn't given when I first purchased it, and I was expecting this product to be larger. This ice pack is about the size of a medium-sized adult hand. This was surprisingly well-made with extra-plush material, very exact stitching, and the bow looked like the only part that could possibly be pulled off (ie, no small plastic parts that might be swallowed). The back is made out of a satin-type material, and the bottom of the head has a slit closed by velcro. Inside this pack is a round package of gel-like material (the gel was tea-colored), and the gel had the consistency of silicone. I didn't read the instructions very carefully, however, I think you are supposed to keep the gel pack inside the freezer, and then when ready to use, slip it into the outer covering and close the velcro opening.Pros:
Well-made, excellent materials, very soft/plush overall. All parts of this pack are soft and will not chafe the skin at all. Super cute addition to a Hello Kitty fan's collection.
Other than the bow, there are no parts that come off and might become a choking hazard.
I use this ice pack to cool my laptop computers... the plush material keeps any moisture away from the computer, and it is cold enough to safely cool the hot parts of the laptop. While I wouldn't recommend it for icing down a wound, it is neat to use in a different, "quirky" manner.
Cons:
Bow may be pulled off.
This item is not meant for real medical care as the gel (regardless of how long you leave it in the freezer), never really gets cold enough. When the gel pack is inside the outer covering, the entire unit never gets cold enough for effective wound care.
I bought these two and put them in the freezer on one of the lower door containers so that she could reach them.
My daughter knows to come to me and tell me she's had a boo boo and depending on the type, I either reach for the Band-Aid Children's Adhesive Bandages, Assorted Sizes, Dora the Explorer 25 ea or I tell her to go to the fridge and ice it down with her hello kitty iced pack.
Also, when my daughter runs a fever, it's a ton easier to convince her to use a hello kitty ice pack than to put a bag of ice on her forehead.
PROS
nicely constructed
cold side
padded side (so it's not so cold or easier to hold)
hello kitty motif makes it easier to toddler to accept
sized for child
CONS
not many, it's an ice packI do not have children, but bought this item because I have neck muscle stress issues. Its purrrfect! Its padded on one side and super cold on the other, I do not have to worry about ice water leaking all over me, and I can use it to isolate one spot on my sore muscles which is nice opposed to freezing half of my body with a big pack. The padding makes it easy to slip under my shirt and keep my shoulder iced without me having to hold it in place, I can even use it on my sore shoulders while working on the computer which is great. My husband steals them from the freezer and uses them too which says a lot I think considering he lifts heavy things all day-that and its funny considering how girly and pink these are. Great item, cute, and super durable thus far. Well worth the price I think.This ice back doesn't get cold enough and the plush stuffed portion is too big and gets in the way. Useless as an ice pack.It's cute but basically useless because it's simply not cold enough to be helpful at all. After weeks in the freezer it's BARELY cold at all.

Thought I must have read the description wrong after the 3 bottles I ordered showed up.This product I received was Not 100% Tamanu oil. Instead it is a 1 OZ bottle that contains a half ounce of 100% Pure Tamanu oil and a half ounce of olive oil.
Item came with a different label and was not as pictured or promised.

Bye-Bye Boo-Boo Hello Kitty Pink Therapeutic Cold Pack Duo
Cute Hello Kitty cold packsoft and large enough to cover most common children's injuries (ie: scraped knee, elbow, etc) or forehead (for fever or headache). It comes with a instant cold pack as well as a small beaded one that you can put inside the Hello Kitty head to reuse. The only downside is that I prefer the reusable icepack to be gel vs. beads since the beads seem to bust open easily in the freezer, but you can always insert a generic pack in the Hello Kitty cloth. Overallcute product to help a help ease the pain for a scared or hurt child.

Flu Protection Kit On-the-go infectious diseases prevention
These little kits are handy to keep around when you least expect to need one. I like the kits because they are disposable and small enough to put in my glove box of my car. I see more and more people wearing these masks around while shopping that it is not as embarrassing as I thought it would be. My health is more important than being embarrassed and the other people out there wearing these masks are smart enough to know that it is a good thing.

Hibiclens Antiseptic Skin Cleanser
Why do I use Hibiclens? I am an obese female and my doctor was the one who recommended using Hibiclens as a way to keep the areas of my body which have "folds" clean. I use a clean wash cloth each day and the Hibiclens. This has prevented me from having sores and smelly body odor that is offensive to myself and others. I have recommended this item to my sister who also uses it and she is thrilled! The cheapest way to purchase this item is by buying it in the 16 oz. bottle and just refill a small bottle as necessary. This makes it easier for travel as well. I was absolutely excited to find that Amazon.com carries this item. Regular store prices are double the price Amazon gives me, even with shipping/handling. I highly recommend this item to anyone!
i use hibiclens because it will destroy any pathogen in its way. when they claim a broad range of efficacy, they understate.
it smells absolutely terrific, is aggressive enough to prepare a surgeons hands for work, and gentle enough to use every day. if you're using antibacterial soaps that rely on super-icky furans like triclosan or triclocarban, then it's time to give those the boot. for an extra couple of bucks, here is a cleanser with a proven history, myriad uses outside the medical field, which can be obtained without prescription.
if you're interested in a skin scrub to eradicate ANY nasties, this is the one, ne plus ultra

I love the Hibiclens! It's really great for cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, and for treating boils, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. However, I find it very odd that Regent Medical sends Hibiclens, which is a medical product, without a safety seal. When you buy Hibiclens from a pharmacy, it is sealed with an aluminum safety seal all that Regent Medical does is affix clear packing tape to seal the bottle! I contacted Hibiclens about this, and did not receive a response. My bottle from Regent Medical is still sitting in the cabinet, unused, because I'm not sure if it is safe to use. When I contacted Regent Medical, all they could offer is their excellent reputation.Save 83% Off

New-Skin New-Skin Antiseptic Liquid Bandage
I have a callus which cracks and bleeds frequently. Keeping it dry long enough to heal is a real challenge. Before this product appeared, basically, I *always* had a small open crack in the callus. Some days I would try and go through 10-20 bandages. Other days, I just blew it off.Liquid bandage changed all that. Apply some disinfectant, then the liquid bandage and I'm usually healed up in about a day or two.
It's economical too. One bottle has lasted close to five years. I had to toss it because it was turning yellow.
What won't it do?
It's only waterproof. Other liquids like oil, or nail polish remover will strip if off in a hurry.
It peels off easily if you are bending and flexing the wound site. Bending and flexing while the stuff dries will help.
It won't stick to wet wounds. You want to stop the bleeding first!
Does it sting? Yessir it does. I use it on wounds that are probably supposed to be to big for it, so believe me, I have dealt with some stinging. However, as some other reviewers have said, not only does the stinging subside relatively quick, but with it goes the original pain.
Does it stink? Eh, I guess, but when a product works, it's forgiven. Meet someone who is not the most attractive person in the world and then fall in love with them, it might not make them a beauty queen, but they look better all the time to you.
Simply put, this product, when used correctly, works. my recommendations are as follows.
1. Put this product on as you are watching your evening TV. This will accomplish three things, one, it allows you to apply and let dry without thinking about it, two, while you're sleeping, it seems to setup extra strong. It will not just rub off throughout the night, and with no hand washing or anything going on, it really has a chance to take. Finally, you at least have that first overnight period of healing under your belt, and you will often times be amazed at what that small amount of time can accomplish.
2. Apply New Skin generously. As it settles it will thin out, but how thin do you need it to be? I apply two, sometimes three coats.
Using these two tips, I have had wounds heal incredibly fast.

It does work. It stings like crazy until it's dry and because of this I can't imagine putting it on a child's cut but it does the job for me. My fingertips crack in the winter and I thought I'd try this instead of applying bandages all the time. I'm really glad I did.Want New-Skin New-Skin Antiseptic Liquid Bandage Discount?
I have found New Skin liquid bandage to be really effective, particularly in treating smaller cuts and abrasions. It comes in a bottle with a brush on applicator. New Skin's active ingredient is the antiseptic 8-Hydroxyquinoline. As applying New Skin to a cut basically seals up the wound, it's best that the wound be disinfested, and be as clean as possible, before you apply the product.New Skin can definitely sting when first applied, but the pain usually doesn't last long, and the liquid typically dries very quickly. Even when it hardens, the substance is still relatively flexible, and will "crack" when bent or stressed. This is generally a good thing, as being flexible the "bandage" doesn't tend to do additional damage by further tearing the skin. Often, just a slight reapplication to fill up the cracks works well.
I find that wounds sealed with New Skin tend to heal faster, and require less care. New Skin is supposedly breathable, and water-resistant, which can be very convenient. For added physical protection, you can apply a Band-Aid or equivalent over a wound.
The product seems to work well on various types of wounds. It's great for straight "paper cut" wounds. And also for scrapes or abrasions where there is loose skin hanging. New Skin can be used to "glue" down loose flaps of skin, which may promote faster healing, and depending on how badly the tissue is damaged, might in some cases, help reduce scarring.
Although New Skin contains an antiseptic, using the brush applicator might be a potential source of infection. Say a person has a wound that is bleeding, and New Skin is brushed on. If you insert the brush back into the bottle, you may be contaminating the remaining solution with blood, skin, dirt, germs, or who knows what. A 1.0 ounce bottle of New Skin can treat a great number of wounds. It seems logical that the more times you use the brush on various wounds, the higher the possibility that some kind of contamination might occur.
While this is probably not a life threatening situation, being a little more conscious about hygiene when using New Skin or any liquid bandage, seems like a good idea. If possible, try and stop any bleeding before applying. The brush is extremely convenient, but using a clean cotton swab to apply the product, may help to reduce the chances of contamination, particularly with a messy wound.
Unless you treat a lot of injuries, a bottle of New Skin can last for quite a while. Having used New Skin for many years, I have seen the product degrade over time. Normally the liquid is clear, with a consistency similar to nail polish. When it gets old, the color can get darker, almost brown, and the solution can get gooey. If this starts to happen, I would toss it out and get a new bottle.
When used appropriately and with care, New Skin liquid bandage is a great product that helps you heal faster. It's widely available in drug stores, so you may be able to get a better price locally.
