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 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.

Adventure Medical Pocket Survival Pak Plus

I just recieved this kit today 3/23/11 for my get home bag, long story. I digress I took it apart and I was quite impressed with the items found iniside. The knife is okay and the pencil a little on the skimpy side, but both are easily replaceable, otherwise the case and the other material that come with it, are quite surprisingly good and it has a few pieces of paper for reorder. I think this kit is worth the money though a bit expensive, still worth it.

This kit and a space blanket should be added to your pack or pocket on any hike as a minimum. This is lightweight and it takes up very little space. I like the pocket concept. It's a survival kit that's more likely to be with you when you need it. These are quality items even if they are small.

I've had this PSK for some time now, never used it, and hope I never have to. For the money you can't go wrong. These are all top quality components in a pocket sized, waterproof package. To understand the quality and thought that went into this kit, visit Doug Ritters website equipped.com. He explains every single item and why it's included. Some items, like the whistle and knife were specially designed just for this kit and are now sold separately. I'm not an outdoorsman, hunter, or hiker, just someone who likes to be prepared for the unexpected. With this in your pocket or bag you have a backup fixed blade knife, water container and purification, signal mirror, compass, whistle and a bunch of other stuff to help you survive. With all the earthquakes, storms, floods, and people just getting stranded, this is one of those things you would rather have on you and not need it, than need it and not have it. How much is your life worth?

The Plus version of Doug Ritter's excellent Pocket Survival Pak adds some highly useful items.

Not a huge fan of the tiny flashlight or the pencil in the kit if you get one of these and keep the pencil, consider wrapping it past the tip with a bit of electric tape this will keep it from dusting graphite inside your kit from normal pocket jostling... and it will give you a bit of electric tape. Also planning on replacing the little flashlight with a Photon keyring light or a unit that clips to the bill of a cap.

This is a great starting point for assembling your own larger user-specific kit. Add a "space blanket" or two, find a convenient place to carry some paracord and a few trash bags and you should be in pretty good shape for weathering an unexpected over-nighter.

Most of the stuff is good to have as a (backup) say in car...This shouldn't be considered core survival gear...Flash light is a total piece of junk...I also think it sould be about $10 less expensive.

Himalaya Herbal Healthcare Glucocare Veg-capsules, 90-Count

This product was recommended to me by a Whole Foods employee. I told her I was looking for a supplement to help process sugar. I currently take a quality dalily vitamin, Chromium Picolinate, Gluco Care w/my meals .... and when I remember before a meal I take L-glutamine. I have PCOS which makes it a bit difficult to process sugar...I honestly feel this combo helps me keep the weight off. When I stop taking these just because I'm distracted by life & am not taking care of myself like I should be...a couple of pounds creep up. Actually 5-7 pounds...I'll then notice bloating & my rings feeling tighter....I then begin my routine and within 8-10 days I take off what could be water retention due to my body not processing sugar/carbs like it is suppose too. I love this product, plus it's 1/2 the price on Amazon. Yay.

I order these monthly for my husband who has type I diabetes. These pills work well to lower his insulin minimizing his injection dose.

Ideaworks JR5539 Bath Step

I purchased one of these steps for my 80s-something mother who was having trouble getting out of her walk-in shower. I had it shipped to her house and she was able to unpack and place it with ease. I also accidentally purchased a second one that was mailed directly to me. At first I thought to return it but my husband broke his leg and it was a great non-slip bath-tub leg rest for him. Later I was working on tiling and remodeling a shower. I grabbed the step so that I would have a non-slip surface to stand on while I grouted tile. It is a little worse for the wear but both I and my builder use it often for to reach those extra few inches when we want to be safe. I could not be happier with both of them.

May 2011, 1 year update. We continue to use and love these bath steps.

April 2012, 2 year update. The bath steps are still in service and show no signs of wear. I was even able to clean the construction detritus off of mine so that it looks fine now.

August 2012. We bath step in a house fire. I have just received its replacement and am very happy. I put it to use immediately. This is my favorite step of all.

August 2012: I just edited my review to replace the word stool with bath step. I think of it as my little step stool since I use it for so many things.

My jacuzzi bath was difficult to get in and out of because I'm only 5ft1" tall and the tub has wide and high edges. The bath step has made it much easier and safer for me to get in and out of the tub. I am very happy with it and I recommend it for anyone who has a bath tub with higher and wider edges that are common in newer tubs.

I am a home health physical therapist and have bought this step for several of my geriatric patients who have trouble getting into and out of bed. It works great. It is wide enough for most patients to fit both feet on the step with room to safely turn around to sit onto their bed. And its low to the ground with a nice base so its very sturdy and does not tip. Plus it has a nice grip on the top so they cant slip off of it. My patients love it and as a PTits a great safe alternative to a higher stool that tips and places them at increased fall risk.

Philips Norelco AT830 Powertouch with Aquatec Electric Razor

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I do not know where all the research is coming from that is allowing so many advances in electric razor technology, but Philips and other companies seem to release a new line of electric shavers every year. I think for the last decade, there has been a competition, starting with manual razors trying to see how many blades they could add to their razors (my current razor has six), and electric shavers responding by seeing how many different models they could put on the market. Philips Norelco currently has almost two dozen different models listed on their web site, and I have never in my life had so much difficulty now and in the past, as I do trying to distinguish between them. The AT830 is part of their new line of shavers released in February 2012. From what I can tell, they are discontinuing most of their current line in favor of these new razors.

Below I'll provide a brief rundown of the current main product lines, followed by the different models within that line in brackets (least expensive to most), and then discuss this actual model.

-------------PN's CURRENT RAZOR LINE --------------

6000 Series [6940, 6955] This is Philips Norelco's base level of razors. They, along with the 7000 and 8200 series are dry shavers, meaning they cannot be used in the shower and are not designed to be used with any foams or gels. The 6000 series do have floating heads, but there is no movement in the head unit. These models are corded.

7000 Series [7310, 7315, 7325, 7340, 7345, 7380, 7810] Now you start to add some cordless options, and get LCD indicators to let you know about battery life. Better models add things like a pop-up trimmer and floating heads.

8200 Series [8240, 8250, 8251] Another line of dry shavers. The 8200 has a little "better" shaving head technology, and a different form factor thath is a little more comfortable. It also adds a precision trimmer. I've compared the 7000 and 8200 models and didn't notice enough of a difference in the quality of the shave to recommend the 8200 over the 7000 (unless you need the trimmer).

SensoTouch and SensoTouch 3D [1150, 1160, 1180, 3D 1250, 1260, 1280, 1290] Their most advanced/expensive razor models. The razor head pivots and flexes on a ball to get around a lot of contours on your face. The SensoTouch can move in two different ways while the SensoTouch 3D can move in three. The SensoTouch 3D is the best electric razor I've ever used (but also the most expensive) and I highly recommend it if you don't mind the cost.

Nivea for Men [HS420, 8040, 8060] You need to use this with the Nivea for Men hydrating cream, which is released as you shave through the shaving heads. I like Nivea for Men hydrating cream, but it's a hassle to use with the razor. I don't recommend anyone buy this.

-------------AT 830 REVIEW --------------

FIRST IMPRESSIONS Now that you can see what Philips Norelco currently has available, I should say that the 6000, 7000, and 8200 lines are being discontinued in favor of these new models and their SensoTouch. The AT830 is in their PowerTouch Series (which looks like it is being marketed to replace the 8200 line). It is an AquaTouch shaver, meaning that it is entirely waterproof, and can be used in the shower with gel/foam, or just by itself as a dry razor. I don't like dry shaving, so I was excited to try this out and see how effective it is. Normally, shaving dry with an electric razor tears my face up so I prefer to use a manual razor. The first thing I noticed about it is the form factor. It is very light weight when compared to previous razors I have used. The contoured handle felt good in my grip, but the design mostly mimics previous models and there is nothing really new here. It doesn't feel "cheap"but it doesn't feel like a top of the line shaver either.

SHAVING EXPERIENCE AND SHAVING TIPS I first did a dry shave with it on half of my face. Like all of their shavers, it contains "Lift and Cut" technology, which just means that it lifts the hair follicles and then cuts them, so it cuts lower on the hair and gives you a closer shave. I could feel it pulling the hairs to cut them, however it wasn't an unpleasant experience, just a slight tugging. Next I tried out a wet shave, which surprisingly worked fairly well. The one area I had a problem with is under my chin. The blades on the AT830 do flex a good bit for getting around your face, but I still had a bit of trouble with this area. I would suggest using shaving gel or tea tree oil rather than foam. I kept worrying that the shaver was going to short out in the middle of my showers but it did fine every time. I did not have any problems with breaking out or getting a rash from using it. I do recommend using it with gel, as I found I get a smoother shave doing that as opposed to dry. The pop-up trimmer wasn't very useful to me and worked okay, but it is fairly basic and not as nice as some of Norelco's precision trimmers. Overall, it gave me a fairly close shave, but not nearly as good as I've gotten with the SensoTouch 3D, or with a manual blade. I did have some razor burn after my first shave, but this is normal when using an electric shaver for the first time in awhile, and for me, goes away after about a week (Norelco says it can take 21 days for your skin to adjust). Whenever you shave with a manual razor, you are actually removing a thin layer of skin. Electric shavers go underneath the skin line but don't actually remove any skin, so this adjustment period is used to allow your body to get rid of the scar tissue that the body creates from using a blade (your body doesn't create scar tissue when using an electric shaver). Do not switch back and forth between an electric shaver and a manual shaver.

BATTERY LIFE It takes one hour to fully charge the shaver, which Philips Norelco says will provide you with 50 minutes of shaving time. I ran four battery drain tests, where I fully charged the shaver and then ran it down completely. The average battery life was 80 minutes. Actual battery life will be shorter when the shaver is having to work to cut hair as opposed to the way I tested it, but based on my tests, their claim that you will get 50 minutes of shave time seems accurate to me. If the battery is dead, you can also do a quick charge, by charging it for three minutes, which will give you enough power for a five minute shave. Instead of using the traditional nickel-cadmium battery, this shaver contains a lithium-ion battery. Not only is this type of battery much better for the environment, but it doesn't experience a "memory effect," which is what happens when you constantly charge a nickel-cadmium battery without fully discharging it first. I would have liked it if they had included a charging station for the shaver.

CLEANING A lot of people will probably find cleaning and taking care of the blades to be a hassle and not spend a lot of time on it, but I am a big believer in properly cleaning the shaver and maintaining the blades, which will not only extend the life of the blades, but give you a better shave. Even if you get all of the hair out, there is microscopic residue and debris on the blades that you can't see. Cleaning this razor is very easy. The top pops open and you can just run the underside of the blades in the water or under the shower. It takes me about 10 seconds to fully clean it and it rinses and dries very quickly. You do need to make sure you clean it after every use, because any hair or residue left under the blades can prevent you from getting a smooth shave the next time. This is especially important if you're using the shaver with gel/lotion. Dried gels will hold onto tiny hair residue and wear down the blades and give you a poor shave. You should also clean and lubricate your blades every couple weeks with a mineral oil solution or something like NORELCO RAZOR LUBRICANT. The shaver does come with a tiny brush and every couple of months you should pop out the blades from the head and clean the grills and blades individually. If you want to make your own cleaning solution, mix one part white vinegar with 10 parts water, and soak the blades in it for thirty minutes. Then rinse the blades to get rid of the vinegar. Replace the heads with Philips Norelco HQ8 Spectra Tripleheader Replacement Heads every 12 months.

I've gone back and forth between electric and dry shavers over the last few years and always seem to come back to a manual razor, but I really think the AquaTouch technology makes a difference in the AT830 and I will probably use this shaver for awhile as I get a fairly close shave with it. I think the closeness of the shave you get will depend a lot on your face. It is not as nice as the SensoTouch 3D, but it is a decent mid-range shaving option.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I shaved with a blade for many years, but have tried several different electrics over the past year because I like the convenience of not having to stand in front of a bathroom mirror to shave. In my quest to find the right razor for me I tried a Norelco SensoTouch 3D, a Braun, and now this Norelco AT830.

The AT830 actually gave me a better shave than the fancier and more expensive SensoTouch. The closeness and time shaving were about the same, but I got less irritation with the AT830, particularly in the sensitive area below my chin. One big thing I like about the Norelco rotary razors is the fact that they are really quiet. They're also comfortable to hold and lightweight. Thumbs up for ergonomics.

What I didn't like about the AT830 were the lack of features. There is no battery meter, only a light that flashes when the battery is about to run out. A big detractor is the fact that you cannot use this razor plugged in; you have to wait until there is a charge and unplug it before you can use it. If you need to shave and the battery's run out, you're out of luck.

I will say that I get a better shave with the Bran--closer, quicker, and with no irritation. However, everyone's skin is different, and it's worth trying a variety of different razors to find out which works best for your skin. If you are looking to try a rotary razor I would recommend this one over the more expensive SensoTouch.

I have a difficult beard--it's tough and the hairs grow slightly sideways so I have to pull the skin to the side with one hand to get them to stand up. When I first started shaving I used a blade and had to finish up by pulling it against the grain to get a smooth result. But my skin would get irritated and break out, so I went to a Remington electric. Since that time I have had several Remingtons, a Braun, and this is my third Norelco. I have used it every day now for several months, and it is the best one I've ever had.

I was going to reward myself with the most expensive "3-D" model but several things made me choose this one. First, the 3-D uses what looks like a more advanced shaver head, but all of the higher end models just below that (including the 2-D) use the HQ-8 heads, so I didn't think the difference in performance would be all that noticeable considering the premium price. Plus the 3-D apparently flexes every which way but Sunday, but this one flexes way more than enough, so I didn't see an advantage significant enough to justify the higher price.

Second, to use the trimmer on the Norelcos with a "neck" (like the 2 and 3-D) you have to snap it on as an extra accessory. One of my other Norelcos was like that and it was always a minor annoyance. The integrated pop-up trimmer on this model is so much handier and has the perfect angle for trimming even nose and ear hair as well as sideburns.

Third, my older Norelco had a charging stand and it was a major annoyance. Lightweight and cheap, the shaver sat in it awkwardly and would tip over if you weren't careful. It was a pain to travel with it as well. It is so much handier to just plug the cord into the shaver and let it charge that way.

Finally, I got the Aquatec model, not because I use it to shave wet, but because it is easy to clean by just holding it under running water. Some have complained that you can't use it with a cord (I assume that is so you don't electrocute yourself while shaving wet), but there are plenty of warning lights when the battery is running low. Also charging doesn't take that long (in an emergency you can get a quick five-minute shave with only a five-minute charge) and lasts for a good while (I have only had to recharge the shaver once so far).

Some have complained that the heads are surrounded by a border that keeps the cutters from close places like around the nose. I know what they mean, but a bit of extra pressure gets them into the corners and it is certainly not even close to a deal breaker for me.

In short, this is the best shaver I have ever owned. I still have a high-end Braun and it does a good job as well. But it is noisy and doesn't pick up longer, twisted, or stray hairs as well. So, I highly recommend this Norelco as the best combination of price and performance in the entire line.

***UPDATE***UPDATE*** I have been shaving with this razor now for about 2 weeks and it delivers a really close shave even with my heavy dark beard, but here's a surprise: If you have a Jet Clean for the 8260cc the Power Touch AT830 will work in that Jet Clean. I have used mine in it a couple of times and it didn't harm my razor at all! I called Philips Norelco and the Lady who took my call asked one of her product specialist and he said do not use this razor in that Jet Clean. Well, I called back and the Guy that I talked to this time said it was perfectly ok. It seems that the first rep that I talked to just wanted me to buy a Jet Clean for this model. The Power Touch models with Jet Clean arn't going to be out til around Father's Day, so if you like useing Jet Clean, you can use your Power Touch AT830 in the Jet Clean for 8260cc. I am a collector of Philips Norelco Electric Razors. I have several models including the Spectra 8894XL James Bond Razor which in my opinion is best Norelco has ever made! The Senso Touch 3D left a rash on my neck and a burning sensation on my face. In my opinion this razor shaves better than the Senso Touch 3D. It delivers a close comfortable shave without the razor burn. I got this model because of the aquatec feature meaning you can use it either wet or dry. Pros: easy grip, washable, fast charge, and comfortable shave / Cons: No travel pouch, and No charging stand. I like to use a little talc or William's Lectric Shave which helps the razor deliver a close shave. I have a heavy dark beard and this razor shaves almost as close as a blade! The only reason that I did not rate this razor 5 stars was because it does not come with a travel pouch or charging stand. I use one of my old travel pouches which the razor fits in perfectly and a lid from one of cans of shaving gels which the razor is able to stand upright in. This is a good razor. It is one of the better Norelcoes that I have owned and I enjoy shaving with this razor. Get tis razor and you wont be disappointed! Happy Shaving!, Michael, Baton Rouge, LA

I have a rough and nappy beard like most people of African descent. I absolutely cannot use a straight razor without bumping up.

So I splurged and got the Panasonic ES-LV81-K Arc 5 figured that paying three hundred bills that it had to work..but it was too bulky, loud, and still left me with irritation.

I returned my 300 dollar Panasonic and ordered this model because I wanted to try rotary and I liked how it fits into my hand.

Well after 3 weeks. My Lady out of nowhere remarked "Wow the irritation on your neck has completely cleared up"

This thing is quiet, easy to maneuver, and leaves no irritation on black skin. The main difference between this and the Panasonic that I mentioned earlier is that you don't need to do multiple passes.

I got mine from Target because Amazon was back ordered. You also can buy the Jet Clean base Direct from Phillips, mine is already on its way.

New-skin Antiseptic Liquid Bandage - 0.3 Oz (Pack of 6)

If you have a scrape or have just removed a splinter, or if your heel has cracked from dry skin, I cannot recommend a better product than New-Skin: it seals and disinfects the break in your skin, and stays in place until the break has been healed. It does sting when applied and has a nasty smell for a few seconds which may keep you from using it on children. Also, it does not stop bleeding, so don't even waste your time there.

But for those small applications, it is very helpful and more than rates a place in both my medicine cabinet and first aid kit. In a few minutes drying time (and a few seconds swearing time), you will be almost healed and ready to get back to whatever activity got you banged up in the first place. All that's missing is a kiss from your Mom to make it all better.

Great to have these small sizes for both men and women when small cuts occur; even excellent on torn cuticles from rough weather

If a person gets a wound and does not have quick access to clean water, all he/she has to do is to apply the liquid which becomes a membrane attached to the skin around the wound, stopping minor bleed and decrease the chance of infection. The pain also becomes much better. This is my personal experience on myself and on my patients, after I drain fluid collections in the chest and abdomen. (Of course, I use aseptic technique before, during and after draining such fluids).

My only complaint is that it seems to be a little on the expensive side to keep couple of this item in everyone's first aid kit.

Great aid when you get a small cut on a finger. The elasticity makes it better than using plasters etc.

Want New-skin Antiseptic Liquid Bandage - 0.3 Oz (Pack of 6) Discount?

I get cracks on my fingers which make even washing my hands painful. Standard band-aids (even those that claim to be "waterproof") still allow water to get into the cracks/cuts -and end up falling off anyway once they get wet a few times. Enter "New Skin" liquid band-aid... it works much better than standard band-aids because it bonds directly to your skin. It works well, but I have two complaints...

1) If the cut is on an area that bends (fingers, knees, etc.), there is a good chance the product will eventually open up, breaking the band-aid "seal". It would be great if they could make the product even more flexible to better accommodate cuts on moving parts.

2)[For cuts on fingers] After a few hand-washings I find it starts to peel off at the edges, which makes it kind of look like peeling skin. That, coupled with the fact that the film enhances any redness of the wound, makes the wound look more nasty than it probably is.

Still, it works much better than a standard band-aid, so I would certainly recommend giving it a try. Maybe you won't have the same issues I do.

With MRSA and other Staph infections on the rise, I know that it's important to keep open wounds covered and protected. If you can't cover your wounds with clothing, this is the next best thing.

PS: As another review mentioned, it stings like hell when you first apply it (but you get used to it) and the odor is very strong (I would suggest stepping outside to apply it, or somewhere with good ventilation.

TYTEX INC TYT5000520301300 Carefix StomaSafe Classic Ostomy Support Garments

I am so glad I bought these. I am a urostomate, and I was looking for a product that would both provide support to the ostomy pouch, as well as keeping the pouch from rubbing against my skin. This garment is very light, airy, you don't even know you're wearing anything. It seems to be made of a sheer, stretchable, cotton gauze. The garment has two layers, the pouch fits between the two layers. There are holes to fit the garment around the flange, so everything else is inside the garment. The picture online doesn't show how great this works. There is an opening at the bottom, so the pouch is easily drained. There is no more weight hanging on my stoma, nothing banging against my abdomen, I even forget I have a pouch any more! Highly recommend.

ProFlex 4020 Left Wrist Support, Gray, 2X-Large

Years ago, I had a keyboard at work with a very heavy touch, and it was not long before I noticed I had the start of some sort of repetitive stress problem. I replaced my keyboard and mouse, and after a couple months of protecting myself with the Ergodyne Proflex Wrist Supports I was "back to normal." Well, a few months ago my problem flared up again and I needed some more for use at home. Fortunately, I found the same model that had worked well for me before here at an Amazon partner store. The new units have only changed in color (from light blue to gray) and work and feel the same. I am pleased with their performance.

My one piece of advice is to get them a little larger than you think your hand size may be. In other words, if you think you are "medium" but don't know for sure, you are probably safer getting the "large." In any event, the product is adjustable, so fit should not be an issue, although it is a little easier to adjust them "smaller" than "larger," which is another reason I recommend getting them a little large if you are in doubt.

The wrist support really helps me at work and when I'm outside of work. It is smaller and provides plenty of movement with my fingers while typing yet still gives support to my wrist. I feel that it is a good deal for the money. Well worth it.

Buy ProFlex 4020 Left Wrist Support, Gray, 2X-Large Now

I haven't had these long enough to see if they help my wrist pain longterm, but they do help them feel better in the short term. I like that they are comfortable to wear vs some other wrists supports that had a longer metal bar up into the palm of my hands. They also fit under gloves which is a great plus in the winter and when driving. I bought these because a friend recommended them to me and am so glad I did. My only question is why the right and left wrist supports didn't cost the same at Amazon; one was less than $8 while the other was over $10. Still, at under $20, they were a good buy.

It is OK for a light support.

But it is not for a serious support.

Use it when a light support is needed.

BSN-JOBST Coverlet Fabric Adhesive Bandages - 7/8" Round Bandages Box of 100 - 301

I couldn't find these bandages anyplace in local drug stores or even Walmart. They fit the bill for small cuts and abrasions. I recommend them as there are many in the box and they stick to the skin fairly well for such a small adheasive area.

Adventure Medical Ultralight & Watertight .7 First Aid Kit

This is just what is needed for camping or as an emergency kit for long car trips. There are more items in the kit than was expected. Kit is great for college students who tend not to have items for emergencies.

For outdoor enthusiasts, it's always good to have at least some basic emergency medical supplies on hand. I've used products from Adventure Medical Kits in the past and think they are a great way to have a supply of bandages and assorted other items to handle routine cuts, scrapes, splinters, insect bites, blisters, headaches and other non-emergency room mishaps that can occur.

On a good day, you'll never have to use this kit but on a bad day you'll be so glad you have it with you. I've tried putting together my own kit over the years and it's always a bit frustrating to acquire a couple of these and a couple of those. It just ends up being a big mess. I prefer this kind of a kit since it is organized and provides a good assortment of what you really need to handle the basic mishaps. It's got a good, basic variety of adhesive bandages, gauze bandages, tweezers, mole-skin and some basic medication(aspirin, ibuprofen and anti-histamine.)

It's all contained in a waterproof bag which fits inside a compact zippered nylon carry case. This particular kit is rated for 1-2 persons for up to 4-days. This is certainly better than having nothing at all and should be a part of anyone's backpack.

Curad Avant Gauze, 4 Inches X 4 Inches, 2 Pad/Pouch (Pack of 3)

I wanted pads that were 100% cotton. These were the only ones I could find. I don't like the synthetic ones that all the drugstores now carry--they don't breathe. I actually like the thinness of these pads for the same reason--they let the air in. When I want a thicker pad I just double them up. They're very reasonably priced, too.

The pads are thinner than everything else I have every tried. I had to double up on them for every application just to prevent bleed through. When I ordered them I thought I was getting a bargain. I was wrong.

Shears; EMT 3.5" (Mini) by Rescue Essentials

Just got it todayvery fast shipment. First thing I tried to do was cut a pennyit did (though doing this with any type of EMT shears is somewhat of an art). No signs of wear after doing so. I love the small size for pocket carry. I have found EMT shears in general to be 1) great at cutting thicker plastic (especially clamshell packaging), bunched-up items, thick cloth, thin metal, etc; 2) slightly loose at the rivet point (though it's not a big deal); 3) and interestingly not very good at cutting seat belt webbing (they will eventually, but a quality pair of straight, non-serrated, scissors work much better for that one application) all of which seem to apply to these little guys as well. So, they are just as good as the larger ones. Buy one. Buy two! Also check out CountyComm's Mini Utility Scissors.

I was expecting slightly larger, these are truly mini in stature but function superbly. Strong, durable and small enough that I can now put a pair in each of my FAK's

McKesson Performance Latex Free Waterproof Tape 3"X10Yds - Box of 4 - Model 16-47530

I had bought this product before, and it is okay. I am an aputee witn am open wound on my right leg. I bought the tape, so I would be able to take a shower. My shower lasts about ten minutes. By the time I get out of the shower, three inches of tape has already pulled away from the skin allowing in a small amount of water in. It works long enough for what I need it to do.

NELSON HOMEOPATHICS Calendula Cream 30 GM

Have been using for almost 10 years now.

Started buying through Amazon when my local co-op stopped carrying.

Find it heals up itching and redness fairly quickly on most skin areas.

Not too effective for me around mouth.

A bit perfumy at first, but pleasant and fades quickly.

Absorbs quickly and non-greasy.

Like the lack of chemicals.

Great product ...I would love it to come in a larger tube. I use it every day. It takes the red out of my face. I've recommended this product to others

My acupuncturist recommended Calendula for a scar from a recently-healed surgical wound. It keeps the scar and the surrounding skin moist, flexible and as soft as possible and seems to be supporting the ongoing recovery of the area.

Valspar/Guardsman 321500 Furniture, Carpet, And Upholstery Cleaner

This kit came with my purchase of a new sofa. I bought a 5 x 7 wool area rug that was reversible except that someone in the store had written a stock number across the reverse side in permanent black marker. I accepted that I could use one side only. I decided to give this stain remover a try as I really had nothing to lose. It took the marker right out. Big numbers measuring about 9" 10" long and about 2" tall. All gone within minutes and I have now ... reversed my rug for longer wear. I will buy more for other cleaning crisis.

Was trying to get out Sharpie (RealSimple magazine said it would work on permanent markers) from a polyester blouse. It didn't work at all. I'm going to try it on some grass stains on khaki's. Might work on other stains or other fabrics.
