Hydrocortisone Cream Anti-itch 144 Pkts/box

Hydrocortisone Cream Anti-itch 144 Pkts/boxI was looking for "one time use" packets for our many first aid kits. These were perfect! Put a few in the vehicles, some in the main first aid kit, some in backpacks, purses, etc. Some reviewers said it's small...yeah, it is...that's the point! Use it when you need to and throw it away. More then enough in each packet.

I know unit dose is always more expensive than bulk, but this is extremely expensive Hydrocortisone cream. I should have done the math before I ordered it. I would not order this again.

Waterjel hydrocortisone is by far my favorite. I have very sensitive skin and i find all other hydrocortisone creams, gels, sprays or whatever to sting like the dickens. This is the only one Ive found that doesn't sting/burn and is easy on my skin. (my second best is the aveno cream fyi). These packets make always having some on hand sooo easy. Its funny but I end up using it a lot more than I'd ever have thought and now always carry a few packets with me. Great on small rashes and bug bites. (i get rashes from the button of my pants and really most other things. soaps, perfumed things, harsh cleaners, most laundry detergent, nickel, whatever)

The reason I got this was my fiance has serious skin issues and and we can't always afford the prescription strength steroids. This stuff is great and gentle on his face,. he often forgets to bring stuff with him on trips but these are much easier to travel with and I always have some now too. I think it has less allergens / irritants in it because switching to this brand actually made his skin clear up faster than others that merely manage symptoms a bit. I think the alcohol and other ingredients in many hydrocortisone creams irritate his skin as much as sooth it. (again hes supposed to be one prescription strength topical steroids).

Anyway we just went through our first box, which lasted forever and I'm getting a second one.

Oh and as always I feel i should note that no one should ever put hydrocortisone or any topical steroid on their eyelids. I don't know why but people do this and its very dangerous. There are specialty products people can get from their doctors for the eyelid.

Safety 1st Ultrasonic 360 Degree Humidifier

Safety 1st Soothing Mist Ultrasonic HumidifierI have been looking for a filterless humidifier for the past couple years. I had a humidifier that I liked but it used these strange accordion paper filters. It only took a couple of months for the filter to get moldy or have lots of water deposits. It was pretty disgusting and I kept having to buy refills. That added up quickly. A friend at work brought her humidifier in and said she loved it. So I decided to invest in this one. I am really impressed. I took it out of the box and filled up the reservoir very quickly and had it on the machine running in less than 2 minutes. The other bonus is that the unit is ultra quiet.It makes a little bit of noise which is nice for the white noise but it isn't obnoxious or distracting. I love that you have a lot of options for the mist output. It isn't just 2 or 3 levels. There is a lot of variation. My favorite unique feature is that it has two mist outlets so you can have the air go in two directions (I am not really sure how important this is but it is a nifty feature). When you open the box the two misters are stacked but you can move them whatever direction you want. Finally, and most importantly I like that it is filterless. This saves a lot of money for me and I am just tired of gross filters. I am a big fan of this humidifier and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good humidifier. It is marketed as a baby room humidifier but I would just buy it the blue one and use it in every room of your house.

Update: For some reason the motor has started being loud when I turn it on. If it tap it, the noise goes down. I will keep you updated. 2/24 the noise is no longer an issue. Still working great. Love how quiet it is and the quality of the mist. My little girl is sick right now and it is helping a LOT. We must have got a faulty one. Motor stopped working BUT they are sending me a new base out in 10 days. Make sure to keep your receipt in case of a faulty product. Very impressed with the company.

I've owned this humidifier for a little over a year now, and it's never let me down. The product description is a little lackluster though. I wouldn't use this in a room that's over 500 sq ft. It worked great in my bedroom last winter, but I have an open floor studio apartment now (around 7-750 sq ft) and it's just not enough. Even with refilling it twice a day and having it run 24/7 the humidity level in the air has never been above 40% (and that was on a warm, rainy day).

Very quiet operation, when turned up all the way the most you will hear is a slight "trickling" noise from the ultrasonic waves splashing the water around.

Make sure the surface you put it on is level. Even a slight bit off can cause it to leak water.

In the past I've needed to buy on average a new humidifier each winter because they're always cheap and crap out, not so with this one. Overall the merits of this humidifier vastly out weigh my complaints.

Buy Safety 1st Ultrasonic 360 Degree Humidifier Now

I enjoy the absence of the whirring sound that my old humidifier had and the lack of a filter to get moldy is great. The first two nights I had issues with the area on the table and floor underneath and around the humifier getting completely soaked with water and thought I would have to return it until I realized that the directional nozzle that fits on the top of the tank had fallen on the floor when I opened it. I decided to try it one more time with the nozzle on the top and that resolved the soaking issue. If I run it at full blast it doesn't last the whole night but it works just fine at about 60% output. You can't refill it at a typical bathroom sink because of the height of the tank but I keep a water bottle handy and it does the trick. No real complaints. Its not fabulous but suits my needs and is offered at a good price.

I bought this to replace a larger whole-house style humidifier and ultimately it was disappointing.

Pros:

Quiet enough not to disturb baby

Ability to aim mist from top (it turns to direct mist)

Tank is not heavy and could be filled in bathroom sink

Bottom base, easy to clean (not easy to clean water tank)

Tight seal on bottom of tank

No filters to replace (though does require those useless protect cartridges)

Cons:

If you don't leave some water in the base (walk it carefully back to your room), when you load the water tank onto the clean, empty base about 1/3 of the water in the tank is immediately "lost" so you have to refill the tank again to make it through the night

Impossible to clean water tank (despite soaking with bleach and vinegar) we had nasty pink stuff growing and it couldn't be reached soaking in vinegar didn't work, neither did the bleach

Plastic was flimsy tank cracked in the middle of the second winter (though I was washing this thing every single day and did my best to be gentle and not bang it on the sink while attempting to reach the mold inside)

For the $25 I paid, it got me through a winter and I learned a valuable lesson about "cool mist" humidifiers AVOID. I actually ended up writing a review today because I was researching safety of these types of units and as it turns out, cool mist humidifiers have the potential to cause some real harm by spreading microbes and minerals from the water into the air. My next purchase will be a "warm mist" humidifier, with a UV light.

I bought one of these at the start of last winter. Worked like a champ all winter. Light cleaning each week, using only filtered water and so far so good. Currently in use for the second winter and love having it!

Sting Relief Wipes - 10 Pack

Sting Relief Wipes - 10 PackIt was just the right amount to refill 3 of my first aid kits so that the product doesn't expire before using it. Great product!

The wasps have been swarming off/on in East Texas. My husband has been stung repeatedly. I bought these sting wipes to keep in the house, in our cars, etc. so they will be close at hand in case of a sting. They take some of the fire out of the sting.

CRUTCH FOREARM G05161 PR 1PR

CRUTCH FOREARM G05161 PR 1PRI'm pretty hard on my crutches. Though I'm not as active as I used to be, I weigh more than ever and I still take the last two stair-steps with a measure of abandon. And over the years it's been Guardian crutches that got me where I needed to go.

I don't know of a more durable adjustable crutch.

I've always had trouble with OTHER crutches that oval-out; the peg that holds the metal tubes at the correct length eventually begins to dig into the tubing, and soon the crutches are making that clicking sound that haunts every step. On OTHER crutches I've also had trouble with the end of the tubing wearing out and digging into the crutch tip. Sure, I can grind the tubing flat again, but I'd rather prevent the problem.

GUARDIAN crutches seem to be made of tougher stuff. Are they? I don't know. But I know I'll get my money's worth before I finally retire them to back-up status. (By the way, I pair my crutches with Tornado Gel Tips by Fetterman.)

If you've never tried these crutches before, I urge you to give them a shot sometime.

Band-aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Extra Large, 1 3/4 Inches X 4 Inches, 10 Count Box

Band-Aid Flexible Fabric Adhesive Bandages, 1 3/4', 2 pkAugust 2012 received Band-Aid's new QUILTVENT package, not the one pictured with this product [old design].

I love flexible fabric bandages, they are the only ones I can get to stick to my skin. Sheer just doesn't work, neither does their waterproof line. My problem seems to be sweat I'm a sweaty person and regular band-aids just don't like me.

I added my picture to show others they're shipping QuiltVent.

As I stated on review of multiple bandaid product ...

"This is excellent price for quantity of excellent "Band-Aid" brand Flex. Fabric. bandages which in my opinion are the best on the market in durability and "sticking" ability."

These bandages are truly "extra large" the pad area is about same size covered by a 2x2" pad so you can protect LARGE boo-boos with this bandage.

I ordered knowing there were many more than I alone could use so had arranged to share with couple of neighbors who had done favors for me or helped me out in past as a show of my appreciation.

Blood Pressure Monitors, Calibrated Cuff, Large Adult, Blue

Blood Pressure Monitors, Calibrated Cuff, Large Adult, BlueHello,

The BP cuff worked for a bit... First the stiching that held the Guauge on became unravled. And then the Valve on the bulb snapped off, when I was closing the valve. I ended up buying another one locally for 4 dollars more... and it was of much better quality.

Sorry, But i would not recomend this... but maybe i got a fluke.

_trv

The Mabis BP monitor that I ordered arrived in timely fashion today, but that was the only good news. The monitor gauge itself was cracked, and the warranty expressly does not cover "broken parts." As it was relatively inexpensive and not worth the hassle of returning (marginally, if the warranty were honored) I considered it a part of life's little learning curve and placed it carefully in the dumpster.

Buy Blood Pressure Monitors, Calibrated Cuff, Large Adult, Blue Now

Needed a cheap BP cuff, but when it arrived, the sphygmamometer would not register the pressure inside the inflated cuff until the bladder was about halfway inflated, making this device little more than a flotation device for small animals. Maybe I just received a dud, but duds are not acceptable for a diagnostic medical instrument.

This kit was good. I found it a little on the large side, which was good, as I test a lot of overweight people. Overall, very happy with this product.

Want Blood Pressure Monitors, Calibrated Cuff, Large Adult, Blue Discount?

This product isn't worth the money. The gauge broke within 6 months and is impossible to fix; even before breaking, it didn't read properly until the cuff was half-full anyway. The cuff itself won't stay around a larger pt's arm. Don't waste your time and money; buy a good quality cuff from someone else.
