Ace Reusable Cold Compress, Small

Ace Reusable Cold Compress, SmallI bought this cold pack to replace one just like it that I have had for at least 10 years. It finally developed a small leak (probably from falling asleep lying on it)& small amounts of gel began leaking from it. This cold pack is a must in my household for headaches, as I dislike taking headache medications & need it for an occasional headache, stiff neck etc. I keep mine in the freezer. It always remains pliable & usually provides enough lasting cold to eliminate the headache. LOVE IT111

I have used others in the past, I love Ace brand. I broke my arm 3 years ago and I will only use this brand. I bought 2 more just to update my supply. My children are in sports and they work great.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program What stands out for this cold compress pack is that the cover has a nice feel about it, even when it just comes out of the freezer. Some of this type of product become almost like ice in hardness when you take them out of the freezer not this one. it is ice cold, yet soft. As for function, it works fine as advertised. It also has directions printed right upon it, e.g., leave in place no more than :20 at a time to avoid frostbite. Personally, I leave in place much less time, then remove for maybe a minute and then place upon the target area again, so I rotate quite frequently, and that seems to work well. When it is no longer cold enough, one only has to return it to the freezer for about :30 to start the applications again. Hope this helps understand this product. I'm quite satisfied with it.

I really like this cold pack as it is soft and flexible. What I like the most is that is does not ooze out gel like some of the other cold packs. This one is perfect for when you have a migraine headache. currently, I am using this for my broken ankle and it will conform to my ankle. It will stay cool for at least 30 minutes. Safety reminder is initially to use protection cloth between your skin and the ice pack to prevent frostbite reaction. I have found that cold therapy is best for joint pain.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This ACE Reusable Cold Compress is great to have on hand to treat minor muscle aches, headaches, sprains, and even relieve minor burn pain. We are professional candle makers and minor burns are an expected hazard of the trade, so we keep ice packs and burn cream on hand in our shop to treat minor burns.

The compress is just about the perfect size for our needs since it is a manageable size and the cloth like material can be applied directly to the skin with out the need to be wrapped in a paper towel or washcloth.

It is ready to use after 30-minutes in the freezer and lasts for roughly 15-minutes or so.

Highly Recommended!

Apex Apex Twice-A-Day Weekly Pill Organzier

Apex Weekly Pill Organizer, Twice-a-Day, 1 Pill OrganizerAlright, these twice daily pill boxes are harder to find than they should be. So you're kind of stuck with whatever you find, but there are good things and bad about this box.

Pros:

Two different colors; makes it harder to mess up your AM and PM.

Durable plastic; have been using it for over a year and no problems.

Large; bigger than you expect, hold many pills including those big ones.

Cons:

Look closely, the PM days go from right to left. This seems backwards to me, it's oppisite of how we read and also from the AM side. This has taken A LOT of getting used to and caused frequent problems. I still forget sometimes.

Writing fades. I guess this happens with every case though.

All that said, I'm still using it because I can't find anything else to acomidate my pills (usually at least 5 each dose, two of which are large). I think at this point if I found one that went the "right" way, I'd probably have an even harder time remembering.

Update:

One of the doors has finally started to fall off. I have it held on now by a couple of pieces of athletic tape. So with daily use, mine lasted about a year and a half.

Works as it should, is roomy and holds a huge number of pills per compartment, even several large ones like vitamins. The lids can be removed for cleaning, the compartments are contoured for easy pill removal.

A drawback for me is the fact that the lids open too easily. Therefore, this is a pill organizer best suited for the countertop at home but not for travel because the contents would be spilled very quickly. Other than that: Good product.

I bought this pill organizer for traveling and was very disappointed. The closures on each slot are so weak that you have to hold them all closed when you open one, else all the pills come tumbling out. I bought it at WalMart which is an hour away, so of course won't go to the trouble of returning it, but can warn others here.

I own several of these and am ordering more so I can prep vitamins and meds for hubby and I a couple of weeks at a time. None of mine have broken down and my oldest box is several years old, having survived a handful of cross-country trips.

Pros: Roomy enough for my 8 huge supplement pills and several smaller medications in each compartment. Tops pull out for easy loading and washing. Cheerful colors differentiate between morning and evening doses at a glance. Incredible discount and low shipping (fast delivery, too).

Cons: Sometimes the lids do pop open when I travel, but I just slip the pill organizer into a gallon zip bag and fold it over. You could slip a rubber band around it until you reach your destination but the zip bag is fine for me. Almost all pill organizers I've purchased have popped open in my purse so I didn't subtract a star for this.

I like this pill container and I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews. The fact that the top comes out makes it easier to fill if you take 10 plus large pills twice a day or have movement issues like I do. Also the night side does read from right to left but if you are taking AM meds then you can look and say I took Wednesday mornings meds and know then that it's time for Wednesday night. I would order it again.

BD E-Z Scrub Preoperative Surgical Scrub Brushes

BD E-Z Scrub Preoperative Surgical Scrub BrushesI purchased these surgical scrub brushes to use on my Autistic son (the Wilbarger technique) and they work great! I was excited to find I could buy them on Amazon.

Normaly you find these in a hospital areas; isolation wards or surgeries where you are required to scrub your fingernails and hands. Ever since then I have searched for these scrub brushes and recently found them here on Amazon. What a Godsend; thank you :)

I use these after working on my cars and trucks. It is the best thing for getting the fingernail areas clean when your hands are black w/ grease/ oil. I have been using them for 20 years....

The sponge side is good, but the brush side is excellent!

The scrub brushes are fine, but a bit softer than I expected, soft enough to scrub the cradle cap from a baby's head I believe.

Clearblue Easy Digital Pregnancy Test

Clearblue Easy Digital Pregnancy TestI will never forget the joy I felt when I got my first positive pregnancy test with Clearblue Easy Digital, after months of failed attempts and fertility drugs. And I will never forget the agony and uncertainty when another test (EPT), taken minutes later, had the dreaded words "Not Pregnant." The makers of Clearblue Easy Digital should be ashamed. A quick internet search will show you many, many women who have had false positives with this test. This is not consistent with a test that is supposedly 99% accurate. Something is making this test say "Pregnant" for an awful lot of women who are just a few days away from getting their periods. This was no chemical pregnancy; the test was just dead wrong. I called my OB to tell her about it, and they were aware that this brand could give you false positives. I had no idea until I experienced it for myself. I would never wish that on anyone.

On the bright side, I got to see what it feels like to be a mom for a few minutes. I hope God blesses me with a real pregnancy one day. The test I use to find out will NOT be Clearblue Easy Digital.

AFTER A YEAR OF TRYING I BOUGHT THE CLEARBLUE OVULATION TESTS...TIME WAS TICKING BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WANTED TO HAVE KIDS NO MORE THAN 4 YEARS APART. IT GAVE ME A SMILIE FACE ON DAY 12 AND TODAY IT IS DAY 29. I TOOK THE CLEARBLUE PREGNANCY TEST AND IT SAYS PREGNANT!! I RECOMMEND BUYING THE OVUALION TESTS, THE BOOK CALLED TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR FERTILITY AND THE PREGNANCY TESTS!

These products are great! I have had nothing but positive experience with them both. I conceived in the first month of trying preseed and used the digital HPT to get positive results in less than a minute. I indeed was pregnant. I would recommend the combination of these two awesome products to any woman out there who is trying to achieve a successful pregnany as soon as possible.

My husband and I decided to hae another baby and after the first month of trying, I was excited to see if it had worked. I used every test out there because I couldnt wait. I went through about 40 to 50 tests in one month, and I used all different brands. I kept thinking if I was pregnant, one day one would show positive. But every test I took was negative. So I decided to on a whim try the Clear Blue Digital to see if it would be any different from the regular line tests. 5 days after my missed period I got a positive. Now I too read all these negative reviews about the product and I was afraid to believe it. So I took a regular line test. It was negative. So I took two more digitals to see what they would say and they were both still positive. So I kept testing everyday with the line tests from various brands. Finally 8 days after my missed period I got a very faint line. So in my case, not only did the ClearBlue Digital test work, it was much more sensitive then any other I used. And I think I used every brand I came across. So excited! Due in April of next year :)

This test was very straightforward and easy to use. I felt compelled to write this review because I got a positive result even when a blood test taken 2 hours later showed my HcG at 11, making this test even more sensitive than advertised. I would definitely use Clearblue digital again, as it was a lot easier to read with very low Hcg levels than tests that show lines or +/-.

Spenco Blister Pads

2nd Skin Blister Pad CS6I was looking for a product to protect blisters on my feet. I play flag football every week and needed something to protect my feet from blistering up each week. Unfortunately this product just falls off the skin when I played. I'm sure the product works fine for walking or something less strenuous, but for active sports and for feet blisters it will end up coming off. Turns out that using simple sports tape was my best protection cause i can cover a large area on my foot and it will not move.

I am training for a 50-mile walk, and so I need blister protection that sticks above and beyond the rest. This was NOT the product. I might have rated it higher knowing that I am expecting more from a bandage in my case, but when I put them on the backs of my heals and walked around for a few minutes collecting socks and sneakers and getting ready to get those on, these still fell off in that time. I can't guarantee they won't work in a position that moves and scrunches less, but I would not recommend them as protection for the backs of your heels. They were extremely disappointing.

These little medicated pads work wonders for all blisters. Just pop them on once you've got a blister and then leave it on. It'll fall off in the shower after about a day or two; leaving a nicely healed foot!

These are the best thing I have ever used to heal a burn!!! I will make sure to have on hand at all times. Amazing

I applied one of these patches after I got a blister while hiking. I still had to hike the next day and was worried about how my feet would hold up. While I did still have a larger blister at the end of the hike, I was able to hike with minimal pain from the blister until I could get home and doctor it. I would recommend however that you make sure the area is thoroughly dry before you try to apply the patch or it won't adhere. Once I learned that lesson, I had no problems getting the patch to adhere really well. For my next hike, I intend to apply one of these patches BEFORE I start so hopefully there will be no blister at all.

TRECK - Talon Rescue Emergency Clothing Knife & Seat Belt Cutter (Orange)

TRECK - Talon Rescue Emergency Clothing Knife & Seat Belt CutterI don't write reviews often, but this product deserves one. I own 2 of these, and they work so much faster then trauma shears. This thing just slices through pretty much any clothing. On their promotional videos, they show it cutting through firefighter turn outs in just seconds. the blade is serrated, so if something is a little tough you can use it like a saw and it'll cut right through. There in no risk of cutting a patient with this tool either. If you want something that will cut seat belts, and clothing with ease and not risk cutting your patient then this is the took for you. I am an EMT, and volunteer firefighter, and love this tool...

Important that it is bright colored. I haven't put it to the task but my life may depend on it because it is mounted in plain sight on my rock buggy.

Buy TRECK - Talon Rescue Emergency Clothing Knife & Seat Belt Cutter (Orange) Now

The Treck does the job in most cases but there's a learning curve. You have to develop the technique to get the cut started through layers of clothing, or heavy seam binding, etc. Once the cut is started, it's twice as fast as scissors and saves on the repetitive hand motion required by scissors.

The size of the handle is a bit of an issue. It is about 1" too long to fit properly in a standard EMS/emergency services trouser cargo pocket, so it sticks out most of the time when carried.

3B Scientific 1012803 Yellow Cotton Rayon Fiber Kinesiology Tape, 16' Length x 2" Width

3B Scientific 1012803 Yellow Cotton Rayon Fiber Kinesiology Tape, 16' Length x 2' Width
  • Kinesiology tapes are made from cotton rayon fiber
  • Latex-free and hypoallergenic
  • Tapes have a skin-friendly, thermoplastic wave-like acrylic adhesive on one side
  • The wave like adhesive is used to push sweat and moisture away from the kinesiology tape
  • Measures 16' length by 2" width

This tape stays in place a long time. I had taped my knee and foot due to arthritis. It really helps. After five days the only reason I changed the tape was because it was dirty. I think it would have kept holding!

Bought this for my mom. She has flexor Tendinitis (or locked finger) issue. Flexor Tendinitis is where tendons in the fingers is either catching or locking in a bent position, particularly in the morning. And is painful to straighten out as it pops or clicks when straightening the finger. My mom was told to wear a splint to keep them straight while sleeping. If you ever wear a splint you would know how uncomfortable it is. In come the Kinesiology tape. It help hold her finger straight as she sleeps but give just enough movement at night to not be uncomfortable.

3BTAPE is just what she needed. Its long and wide and of great value. It will last months for the length she need each night. Great product, highly recommended.

Hibiclens Antiseptic Skin Cleanser

Hibiclens Antimicrobial and Antiseptic Skin Cleanser Liquid - 16 ozWhy 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!

my father is a doctor. since i was a small child, i've been around hibiclens. i used to wash my hands on purpose when i visited him at the hospital.

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

This has been a life saving product. My 3 year old had reoccuring staph infections, after weekly use of this product she has now been infection free for 1 year. Just make sure you get the foaming pump with this product, this will make the application much easier with zero product loss.

Very good antiseptic, more so for healing wounds. We even use it for treating exzema.

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.

Alopecia Amazong Hair Growth

Alopecia Amazong Hair GrowthI'm happy with this product, I can say that it's much better than most hair gels that are available your local super market. Most hair gels contain chemicals that can damage the roots of your hair follicle and can cause your hair to thin. This pomade makes your hair smell nice for sure, anyways it did make my hair thicker, but you have to be patient, You also have to use a gentle shampoo, I use Revita by DS Laboratories, this shampoo has a compound known as Ketoconazole known to disrupt DHT production and put a stop to hair loss.. Ive used it and I like it...
