Betadine Swab Aid Antiseptic Pads, 10% Povidone, 100/bx

Betadine Swab Aid Antiseptic Pads, 10% Povidone, 100/bxBetadine kills virtually all staph and strept germs that are present on the skin. It is the best single disinfectant to use on cuts, wounds, abrasions, etc. Betadine is iodine, 10% solution, so if you happen to be allergic to iodine, don't use this product (fortunately, iodine allergy is very rare). There are 100 swabs in this package, and the price is quite reasonable. I think every home should have 10% iodine as a part of an emergency kit. For maximum effectiveness, swab the area for about 1 minute, keeping it wet with iodine, air dry, and then cover with a bandage. Iodine will stain clothing, so be careful when applying it!

Great product.

These swab pads are much nicer then the swab stick I have been using up until now. Badodine in general can be messy but these pads didn't drip when I pulled them out of the little packages and i was able to use one pad to wash both hands!

Betadine Swab Aid Antiseptic Pads, 10% Povidone, 100/bxI didn't even know these little pads existed and now I'm so glad that I discovered them. They are really handy. Got them in a timely fashion and have used them often. And I can take them along if need be!

These little swabs are soaked with the betadine solution. The swabs are small. You know the little towlettes you get at some restaurants to clean your hands, these little swabs are about 1/4 as big. Like i stated before they are soaked with the solution so you probably do not need something bigger but just letting you know how small they are. Today is 4/29/13 and the ones i received have an expiration date of 09/2015 so i was satisfied with how long they will last. Bought a box of 100 so i put some in my first aid kit, some in my car and the rest will go in my bug out bag. Good product.

Want Betadine Swab Aid Antiseptic Pads, 10% Povidone, 100/bx Discount?

Betadine is an "ouchless" iodine solution used as a topical antiseptic. These pads are intended for cleaning the skin prior to injections, drawing blood, etc. so the pads are small. I buy them because they're great for cleaning and disinfecting any wound small and shallow enough not to need medical attention. A box of 100 is enough to keep some in the house, put some in the car's first aid kit, and put a few someplace else. (I keep a little first aid kit in my suitcase, and there are some Betadine pads in there, too.)

These have an expiration date that's about two years into the future, but they're sealed in foil and the solution itself is very stable. I'd be comfortable using one many years later so long as the pad is still wet.

Designs for Health - Silvercillin Gel - 4 oz

Designs for Health - Silvercillin Gel - 4 ozUsed on ulcers on both feet on recommendation of Dr. consulted after months of treatment at Wound Clinic. In 3 short weeks an improvement was clearly visible. This product is approx. 1/3 the price of the previous medications used and is worth 3 times as much as it actually works.

Most Drs. are reluctant to try anything that does not require a prescription with their name on it. Unfortunately, many patients suffer longer and go thru much more expense then is necessary because of this.Designs for Health Silvercillin Gel 4 oz [Health and Beauty]

Use with caution! My doctor specifically instructed me not to use this product on my skin. I heard about it from a friend who is into natural and holistic type remedies. I am very disappointed that I already opened the top and am out $40 for something my doctor said isn't proven to be safe for internal or topical use.

Medline Elastic Net

Medline Elastic NetThe hospital called these "fishnets" (like the stockings) this product is wonderful for holding bandages up and allowing a certain amount of breath-ability for wounds. These are a lot lighter to wear than an ace type bandage and the quality is above par. I have severe swelling in my legs (lymphademia)and this will stretch in a way that does not cause me more pain or pinch or feel restrictive in any way. I love this product and recommend it highly.

Recieved a CURAD product instead of the NONNET07 product that I ordered. The CURAD product does not have the retention for reuse.

I used these for making cover for diabetic wounds that we wrapped in gauze. This is perfect for holding gauze in place.

Great for bandaging large scrapes and burns. Without adhesives tape or knowledge of wraping bandages, that could cause a tourniquet affect. Safe and easy to use...

ST 37 ANTISEPTIC LIQUID Size: 16 OZ

ST 37 ANTISEPTIC LIQUID Size: 16 OZAs a child my pharmacist father swore by ST 37 for cuts, burns and sorethroats. It never hurt and did the job just about every time. Sometime after I left home and father retired, I noticed ST 37 had disappeared from drug store shelves. It was wonderful to see a notice online about its current availability. For a mild antiseptic type topical application, try ST 37. Don't let it join Merthiolate in the effective, painless but discontinued OTC medications!

The product arrived as indicated via email notification. The bottles were well wrapped assuring that they would arrive unbroken. We will use this vendor again.

I got a horrible deep knee injury when I was a child, and the pediatrician told mom to trickle a little ST-37 right down into the wound. I expected it to burn like everything else did -but it dramatically lessened the pain.

For my own kids, there was "Magic Blue Bottle" for everything from burns to toothaches and sore throats.

It kind of dropped out of sight in our part of the country for a few years. I am just tickled to find it online just in time for the grandchildren!

As a public school teacher, I accidentally discovered ST37 in the clinic when I got a paper cut. This product not only healed my cut quickly, but did not burn. I keep it on-hand all the time at home. I just found out that Amazon has it online, cheaper than [if "special ordered" by] my local CVS. I give it an A+++++.

Like everyone else, my dad SWORE by this stuff and even my grandmother once used it on a terrible burn on her son in the 1930s. She was poor as dirt but would spend the money on the blue bottle of ST37 because it worked on so many things.

I had my grandkids for four days the first week of January. I dabbed some of this on my one year old grandson's ezcema because it was so irritated and he was scratching like crazy. He seemed like he really enjoyed with I would apply it and I only did so maybe 5-6 times. My daughter couldn't believe how much improved it was when she returned. She said other products have only reduced the irritation but the ST37 actually healed it up!

Researched main ingredient and see that it's used in age spot treatment. Naturally, I have been dabbing on a tiny bit each am and pm and no kidding, it is lightening these age spots I've had for YEARS. I'm going to buy some for each of my kids and their families!

Bucky Shades Fun Faux Fur Sleep Mask With Earplugs

Bucky  Shades Fun Faux Fur Sleep Mask With Earplugs,Charcoal,One SizeUnless you have to have something slick, shiny, light weight and cold over your eyes, this is an excellent sleep mask. The foam at the bottom allows you to open your eyes if need be, and it blocks out all of the light if worn properly. The band is a little heavier than needed, IMHO, so if you are someone that has to have the feel of "nothing at all", then you might want to choose a lighter weight mask.

Best sleep eye mask I've found --and I've purchased and tried out quite a few! Soft material with a soft velcro strap. There is a roll of soft fabric that lines the bottom of the mask. This roll lies on the bottom of your eye socket or your lower sinuses when the mask is on -applying a gentle pressure that I like a lot.

I love the little pocket on the outside of the mask up at the top. This pocket can hold four to six ear plugs and is so well designed that they won't come out when you move around or drop it in between the seats or on the floor of a plane.

I don't recommend, however, putting it in the microwave. Sometimes I like my eye masks warm, but when I did it with this one, it didn't fare so well --the pocket area got a little crispy.

But I still give this eye mask 5 stars.

I have two at home and have given three as gifts.

We have owned many varieties of eye masks for sleep including the pink princess satin( uggh) and the tiger print skinny ones but nothing does the job of totally blocking out light except these. The little extra fabric roll across the length of the bottom helps when the mask slips during sleep. The only drawback is they are thick plush fabric and can get a little sweaty at times.I have had no problems washing these but watch out the velcro doesn't catch on other things in the wash.

Aircast Airlift PTTD Brace

Aircast Airlift Pttd Brace Right SmallI bought this shortly after Posterior Tibial Tendon dysfunction PTTD was diagnosed. I wear it (or another one) whenever I will be on my feet for many hours. It took almost a week to arrive, which was a drag, but so much cheaper to buy it here instead of from the orthopedic Dr. My ankle was improving from wearing the brace but then I sprained the ankle (I did not have the brace on). The same brace has been a godsend for the sprain. It was a bad sprain, so immobilization of the roll was essential. It does the job.

It does not fit in most of my shoes. I use a lightweight elastic support for lighter use of my foot.

For PTTD with high arches, aircast makes another brace for about $20 more cost, almost identical but with an air bladder in the arch--it is awesome comfort. After the initial inflation to get the bladder perfect, I have not had to change it -it has held the inflation perfectly. I spent 4 long days at Disney and Universal and the PTTD did not hurt (though both of my feet were tired, as to be expected). The brace with the bladder is what I wear to Zumba. My female shoe size is 8 1/2. I wear a medium in the aircast with bladder, but a small in this one on Amazon (without the bladder). The brace with the arch bladder fits best in a size 9 shoe.

I have had both braces for over 7 months and they have been worth the cost, and barely showing signs of wear When I wear one, my foot is pain free at the end of the day. It is worth the nuisance to put it on when I will be on my feet a lot, which is almost every day for at least part of the day. I take it off when at home.

Excellent for PTTD troubles. Did help a great deal ... but: you will have to wear two pairs of socks. 1 for beneath the brace and one OVER the brace because the Velcro catches on to your pants leg. This means your foot will be too wide to fit in anything but a lace-up sneaker that is one size larger than your regular size. The brace inflates a sack below your arch, lifting the arch which alleviates one of the problems with PTTD. The brace also keeps you from pronating which is also a problem with PTTD.

DON'T buy a Small size unless you are very petite or child-size.

I ended up buying one for the other foot which helped me walk better, helped me heal faster. Wearing one made me feel lob-sided. I am finding a bit of skin irritation from either the heat of all that wrapping, or the material of the brace.

The brace is worth buying but I hope you are not in a hurry. Check the shipping dates.

UPDATE JAN 2012

Another reviewer wrote about how these will stink. I can't get the smell out and they are falling apart.

My doctor put me in an immobilizer, a soft cast, up to the knee. He said PTTD needs complete immobilization. My ankle feels better. Maybe you should save your money and buy an immobilizer.

Cerave Cerave Moisturizing Lotion

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion, 12-Ounce BottleThis was recommended to me by my dermatologist and has worked wonders. I am probably the most extreme case when it comes to dry/temperamental skin and this stuff meets the challenge of quenching my skin's thirst for moisture. For those of you who wonder if this stuff will work for you, let me tell you about my case:

Where I live, the wind chill is often below 0 and temperatures are usually in the teens during winter. I live and work in an environment with electricity-based heating, which means extremely dry air if you didn't already know. I bathe more frequently than the average person due to being an athlete (excessive bathing is also bad for the skin). And to top it off, my skin is already extremely sensitive to any kind of irritation to begin with.

My dermatologist confirmed that this product may be used on both the face and body. I have been using it this way for about 6 months now and I have seem dramatic improvements in the condition of my skin. It should also be noted that my skin is extremely prone to break out and the use of this product has resulted in startling improvements in the quality and clarity of my skin considering I am not using any other treatment. I would buy this stuff by the gallon if I could.

This winter, my arms and legs have been very itchy and rashy due to dry skin and eczema. I tried the sample of CeraVe lotion and cleanser provided by my dermatologist and was happy with the non greasy texture and how nicely the lotion is absorbed in to the skin. I purchased the regular sized CeraVe skin cleanser and moisturizing lotion and have experienced relief from my itchy rashy skin condition after just a couple of days. The lotion is light weight and unscented. I noticed that one of the ingredients is hyaluronic acid which is used in an excellent facial moisturizer that I have had good luck with keeping my face well hydrated in the winter. I find the CeraVe products well priced given the quality ingredients and results. I'm very pleased with the two CeraVe products that I've tried. For people with ultra dry skin or that like a heavier product, the CeraVe cream may be a better option.

I've struggled with my 4 year old's eczema for most of his life. My pediatrian finally recommended this lotion. After only a few aplications his skin is clear, softer and smoother then it has been ever. It absorbs quickly and leaves no stickness and has next to no fragrance so he doesn't mind being slathered up. I only use it after his bath a couple of times a week and his skin has stayed clear and smooth. Occasionally I've used it on my 7 month old and it works great for him too eventhough he doesn't have skin problems...yet. I've tried it on myself for my skin conditions especially my hands and it hasn't worked quite as well. I think with the frequent washing of my hands I need something more emoilent. I am thinking of trying the CeraVe cream for myself it may work better for more frequently washed super dry skin.

I have very sensitive skin and shaving is an issue for me with most products.

I use a small amount of CeraVe massaged into my face, then splash with water to "loosen" it a bit, then shave.

Clean, no fragrance, no irritation, no greasy feel.

Love it!

Want Cerave Cerave Moisturizing Lotion Discount?

I started using the Cera Ve lotion about a week ago. It claims to have beneficial ceramides in it.

According to Wikipedia "One of the most studied roles of ceramide pertains to its function as a proapoptotic molecule. Apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is essential for the maintenance of normal cellular homeostasis and is an important physiological response to many forms of cellular stress."This idea seems to apply to my skin, as old cells seem to be dying off with new healthy ones replacing them.

Whether or not the excerpt is true, my skin is far less bumpy, softer, and brighter.

It looks like I'm wearing powder, that nice soft finish without that pore suffocating look of cream or liquid makeup.

I love it. It's inexpensive and it sure is doing its job. I've tried A LOT of drug store products and this one is actually doing something for me.

Awesome

Source Naturals Ultra Colloidal Silver Liquid, 10 ppm

Source Naturals Ultra Colloidal Silver Liquid, 10 ppm, 8 Ounce, Glass BottleI was introduced to this from a lady at whole foods. I couldnt take zinc and eccineica anymore as it upset my stomach. She told me to try it for fighting colds and flu. It worked!! And works every time. I recently thought the cold had gotten me but kept fighting and two days later it was compeltely gone. I have now gone three years without a cold. I take it the MINUTE I feel a scratchy throat or a cold coming on. I swear by it and try to get all of my friends to take it as well. I have the nose sprayer and the drops and they are wonderful.

It works for so much more than fighting colds as well. Earaches, burns, just so much good in this product.

This is the best price I've found for this particular brand of Colloidal Silver liquid. I use it for a lot of things and it is probably the most useful item in my first aid kit. Because it is only 10 ppm and doesn't have any additives, I also feel comfortable using this on my cats.

I work in a hospital and have two kids that attend public schools. The smallest child always had recurring double ear infections, sinus infections, and respiratory infections. I'm a believer in your product, because this was the only thing I've found to clear it all up I put a dropper full in 8 oz of reverse osmosis water, and suddenly I don't have a child that is dependent on antibiotics anymore. It's cost-effective compared to insurance copays, and OTC products that are expensive and don't work but sure hit your pocket book. I can't tell you really how many times I have told people just get some colloidal silver!!! Lest big Pharma prevail and you have your doubts, $10.00 is no harm, no foul. Why forfeit? Love it, guys!

Savlon Antiseptic Cream

Savlon Antiseptic CreamI have rather frequent patches ot eczema that form on my fingers and thumbs. While visiting New Zealand last December, I ran out of the usual cream I'd been using to help control the problem. The itching is somewhat controlled by antihistamines and of anti-itch creams, and the splitting of the skin I'd been trying to manage wth a number of creams and ointments.

I discovered Savlon in a small neighborhood grocery store in Auckland. When I began ti use it (right away) is was soothting and helped heal the split skin in less time than what I'd been using.

There is nothing like it in the US. So, I checked and found an Amazon source that would ship from Australia where the cream is ,manufactured. Because of the distances involved shipping from Australia to California, the wait was about three weeks. I did not use any expedited shipping because I knew avg shipping time from China and the South Pacific can be around three weeks because the orders are usually by boat.

It was worth the wait. The Savlon cream arrived just in time as I am currently experiencing another breakout on one finger and both thumbs.

Hypafix Retention Tape 6" X 10 Yard Roll Each

Hypafix Retention Tape 6' X 10 Yard Roll EachUnfortunately, after surgery on a heel in July 2004 the wound remained opened. It required a daily change of a 3x3 that was secured in place via cling or other wrapping material any of which had to be secured by tape. It was an expense process and very bulky that made wearing a shoe uncomfortable.

Now, the 3x3 is now secured with two strips of the Hypafix tape at a cost far less than the previous method. There is little or no bulk, which is much more comfortable. Furthermore, although most tape products causes irration to my skin, this is not the case with continuted use of the Hypafix Retention Tape.

In terms of expense and comfort the Hypafix tape cannot be beat.

This is the best thing ever. Discovered it when I had a ulcers on my legs. Using it again with some wounds on the torso. Best bandage system ever.

American Red Cross Disaster & Emergency Kit by First Aid Only

American Red Cross Disaster & Emergency Kit by First Aid OnlyThe package arrived right on time. The front of the bag is different than pictured, but that's not a big deal. The bag itself is much smaller than I had imagined. The photo makes it look like a stand-up, small duffle, when it's actually a binder. There are pages that hold all the products (as pictured). I appreciate how organized it is, and that everything is individually wrapped I had a hard time finding what's in it, exactly, so here goes... (I'll group it the way it's grouped inside)

This kit contains:

-Bag with rings to hold pages with pockets (the stuff is all tucked into the pockets to keep it organized)

FRONT POCKET

-Pamphlet with suggestions to customize kit

-x3 ear loop face mask

-emergency poncho

-emergency window sign for car (bright yellow sign)

BACK POCKET

-triangular bandage

-x2 gauze roll

I added a few products that I felt were lacking, such as an extra roll of paper tape (1 inch wide), a roll of transpore tape, some tegaderm patches, and extra ibuprofen/acetaminophen. I also bought a box of gloves and I'm going to put the kit and extra stuff in a bigger duffle so it will all be together. I will probably add a few more things, as I think of them... I was thinking of buying additional antibiotic ointment, and some anti-itch cream and an ACE bandage.

Overall, this is a great first aid kit. I work with the youth and need a portable kit for both classroom and camp settings; this will do just fine!

I'm taking off one star for the pictures because they're slightly deceiving, and for the fact that I couldn't find ANYWHERE what the kit contains. Also because there are some things that should have more (such as medications, gloves, gauze, and antibiotic ointment)

I have a degree and training in nursing, so I'm adding to this kit to make it very thorough!

Hope this review helps!

Started to become a bit of a nervous nelly with all the earthquakes a few months back, so decided it was time to make sure I had a decent first aid kit, just in case. I compared multiple options, but decide that this kit was the best compromise between what you would practically need/use, while also being prepared.

The only thing this kit was lacking was some saline solution and a flashlight, which I purchased separately. It comes well packaged and doesnt take up a lot of room to store.

Keep in mind things like pain killers etc have a use-by date. The use-by dates varied quite a bit in my pack, so I would recommend checking this when it arrives. Probably a good idea to check it yearly after that to make sure you keep everything current and stocked.

I just received two of these and immediately saw that the item sent to me is not the item in the picture on amazon! Clearly the photo on amazon is the American Red Cross Emergency kit, which is the one i have at work and wanted to purchase for my truck and my house.

The official American Red Cross emergency kit has very helpful pages of basic first aid instruction as well as a much sturdier case. The knockoff first aid kit i was sent does not have the first aid information and the case is of poorer quality. As for the individual items i'd have to take them all out and compare them.

Clearly the company is misrepresenting their product and passing it off as an official American Red Cross emergency kit. Beware!

My son-in-law is seriously into sports, works at a hospital and is studying to be a Phys Ed teacher/coach. I bought this for him for Christmas after he put his tooth through his cheek and another guy's forehead while playing basketball! It will come in handy! I looked at LOTS of first aid kits in the stores and online and this one was the most comprehensive kit I found for the price. It includes plenty of items that work well for sports-related injuries but also includes roadside emergency and survival supplies. There are zippered plastic compartments in a binder format within the compact soft-sided case that help organize things and allow for more items than other kits I looked at. I feel confident that this product will serve him well. It's a great all-purpose kit that would be an excellent addition to any family's home or car for those unexpected events.

Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Flexible Fabric, 30 Count

Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Flexible Fabric, 30-Count All-One-SizeI love this product, plain and simple. It works as described every time, doesn't monkey with my skin in any way, and they stay put wherever you place them on the body. The flexible fabric makes them ideal for fingers, toes, or any other place on the body with a joint. As an added bonus, not that I need it, but the box comes with braille writing at the top that reads "Band-Aid" which I thought was pretty cool. I like it when companies realize there are those folks in the world who are less abled and they choose to do something to help them out. The six (6) pack quantity is the perfect amount so you don't run out right away. You'd be surprised who quickly you can run through thirty (30) Band-Aids and find yourself wanting more. Once again, I highly recommend this product.

They protect the wound like they're supposed too but don't get them wet. The adhesive isn't that good. They are flexible & do allow the wound to breath but if you need a waterproof band-aid, this isn't it.

The flexible fabric Band-Aids are very comfortable and don't seem to irritate my skin the way some of the more plastic-y Band-Aids or bandages do. They also stick better than many other adhesive bandages do, and will stay on for a long time (at least an entire day) if they stay very dry.

My only complaint is that if these Band-Aids get wet, they fall right off. I wish that they could stay sticky even after getting water on them, the way that the heavier duty Band-Aid Tough Strips do. In a perfect world, there would be a Band-Aid as comfortable as these flexible fabric ones are that also is as heavy duty as a Band-Aid Tough Strip.

I like everything about these bandaids except the adhesive. The adhesive feels sticky enough to the touch initially and the box says "Super-Stick adhesive to stay on longer," but this bandaid type does not stick for more than a minute to my skin or to itself. When I wrap the bandaid around a cut finger, the end will come unstuck almost immediately. If I wash my hands and the bandaid gets wet, the bandaid comes completely unstuck before I'm done rinsing.

I tried using these to protect a cut one day, and I went through half the box in a day because every bandaid came unstuck at the ends within a minute and came unstuck completely within an hour (less if I bent my finger or got the bandaid wet). Before leaving the house, I stuffed about 10 bandaids in my pocket so I could just put a new one on as each one came off (or I got tired of holding the unstuck end in place with the neighboring finger).

The box I have is labeled "Tough Strips" where the photo above says "Flexible Fabric," but it is the same flexible fabric bandaids, all one size (1" x 3 1/4") with identical box, logos and picture.

The other Bandaid brand products I keep in my medicine cabinet do not have this problem.

Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Tough-Strips

Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Tough-Strips, Waterproof, 20 CountWhy is that?

The fabric moves and stretches with you. Other bandages do not and pull off.

The adhesive is strong. Albeit, I only use it on adults as it might be too strong for my kids.

The gauze is absorbent and does not stick to the wound.

The fabric breaths. I stay away from the waterproof types under normal circumstances as I want the wound to also get some air.

The bandage stays put. I put it on and never worry about it coming off before it is time to change it.

Foam bandages are a nice second place, especially for kids, but for an adult, there is no better bandage.

These are the best band-aids I've used. Being a martial arts instructor for the Marine Corps, I was constantly getting scratches and cuts. I could count on these to do their jobs for such minor abrasions, scrapes, etc... I've tried lots of different band-aids, and these hold up the best and stay put during activity.

Pros:

These are tougher than regular band-aids

The fabric-like material makes so the bandage doesn't get caught on anything and tear loose, like clothing, etc...

The material breathes just enough so the covered area doesn't become completely deprived of oxygen.

Porous composition allows the band-aid to soak up a little bit of blood, if a minor injury is still bleeding slowly, while most band-aids are too plastic.

Cons:

I wish there was a way to make a waterproof band-aid that was also able to absorb minimal bleeding and still maintain its adhesive quality.

Conclusion:

These are the band-aids that I continue to buy on a regular basis. They do the job.

My husband has very thin skin and bleeds easily so I thought this was the perfect band-aid for him. Quite the contrary the first time I used it and took it off of his arm lots of skin came off with it and made a much worse sore than was there originally. This band-aid is much too strong for older people with any type of skin condition. So now I am afraid to use them on anybody. I would avoid buying this product at all costs.

Very difficult to remove adhesive after bandaid is removed. Sticks to your finger and is a pain to get the stickiness off. Would not buy again.

Pro: Paper wrapper easy to open, just tear along edge of paper.

Stays in place with good coverage over dry site.

Con: Not waterproof, comes off when wet.

I need a dressing for an open blister on my hand. The dressing would have done well over a shin cut but did not perform when exposed to palm dampness/handwashing. I recommend a dressing from 3M or Nexcare for areas exposed to dampness/wetness; 3M/Nexcare does survive handwashing.

WoodyKnows Ultra Breathable Natural Fit Nose / Nasal Filters for Hay Fever, Pollen & Dust Allergy,

WoodyKnows Ultra Breathable Natural Fit Nose / Nasal Filters for Hay Fever, Pollen & Dust Allergy, Pet Hair and Dander Allergy, Allergic Asthma, Sinusitis, Rhinitis Relief 3-PackI've been using these all summer and this is the first summer I haven't had to take any medication. I carry a clean spare with me especially when we had the fires here in NM and they worked for the smoke also. My nose measures exactly 7/8" slotted and I use the Med. 7/8"-1 1/8" and it works perfect. I clean them using very warm (can barely put my had in it) water and a $5 ultra sound. I usually let it run for 10 minutes as my filter is full of pollen after only one day and when the air was smokey I'd have two filters dirty by the end of the day. By the way I recommended them to a friend who flys alot and he got some to help with the colds and flues as he was always getting sick on the 12+ hour flights. He thinks they have helped he hasn't been sick since he started using them. Don't be afraid to try them and it took me only about a day to get used to it, now if the pollen is bad I even sleep in it.WoodyKnows Ultra Thin Nasal Filters for Hay Fever, Pollen & Dust Allergy, Pet Hair and Dander Allergy, Allergic Asthma, Sinusitis, Rhinitis Relief 3-Pack (I-S)

For years, I've dreaded Spring. It has been my least favorite season thanks to ever-worsening tree pollen and the need for allergy drugs, air filters, pillowcase covers, plastic-covered windows and cumbersome masks.

This year, WoodyKnows filters gave me Spring back. Now I can actually enjoy this season. And my all-year, all-the-time dust allergy is much better, too.

I've been searching for a product just like this one for a long, long time and I've tried many. I'm very discerning about my gear and purchases. A discreet nasal filter made so much sense, but no one did it right until now.

I've been using the filters for about three months. I wear the WoodyKnows filters at home and on my commute to work. Now, at the height of the spring tree pollen season, I even wear them when I sleep. They are very comfortable if you get the right size (get the cheap sizing kit first!) and you get used to them fast.

They are not perfect 100-percent block-everything filters, but because I can wear them for hours and hours they are extremely effective at reducing my overall allergy load. And that makes a huge difference since allergy misery is a cummulative effect. By cutting down my exposure over big swaths of time, when I do get exposed to pollen or dust, my reaction is minimal.

Last year, I tried First Defense Nasal Screens. And they were a big help! They do in fact block more allergens than WoodyKnows. Their actual filtration is more effective. But First Defense had some serious downsides. 1) Despite being promoted as looking invisible, they make your nostrils disappear! The end effect is you either look, at best, like you have Band Aids on your nose or, at worst, like some kind of old Twilight Zone mutant. 2) They're not really reuseable. You can take them off and stick them back on the plastic sheet, but they lose adhesive effect each time and never fit quite right again. 3) The screens are effective, but they also reduce air flow making it noticably harder to breathe. 4) One sneeze and they're shot. There is no saving, cleaning or reusing them. They are pretty expensive given they are truly disposable, one-shot filters.

WoodyKnows solves all those problems. They really are hard to notice making public use possible without feeling self-conscious. They don't limit breathing. They are easy to clean and reuse (I use the recommended ultrasonic jewelry cleaner approach). Yeah, they don't filter out everything, but all of these positives mean you can actually use them a lot. And wearing a 95-percent filter for 12 hours a day does a lot more good than a 99-precent filter for 2 hours a day.

If you still need extra allergy or pollution protection, WoodyKnows plus a Vogmask are a good and stylish combo.

My young son also suffers from severe Spring allergies and he wears WoodyKnows, too. Last year, he often needed a nebulizer to help his strained breathing, but with WoodyKnows this year he hasn't needed the nebulizer once. I had been concerned about the filters looking weird and causing him problems at school, but they are very subtle and often you can't even tell he has them on. Sometimes kids ask him what's the thing on his nose and he tells them and that's the end of it. The one lookng at his nose the most is his sneezing, allergy-suffering teacher who is a bit envious.

WoodyKnows are not perfect:

-The filter frames tend to deform over time, causing problems with a good seal. They're promoted as having a lifespan of a month, but I'd say they work great for two weeks and then by the end of the third week they need replacing. Of course, I use them a lot longer and harder than most would. I have found that if you alternate between two sets of filters, you can get a lot more life out of them. One filter gets to "rest" and the shape of the frame tends to come back.

-They might be even more discrete if the connecting bridge between filters was transparent instead of a transluscent-whitish color.

-Would be good if there was a size between the III and IV models.

-I also wish they came with a carry case for a single filter instead of just the three-pack.

That said, these are minor quibbles with an awesome, incredibly helpful product.

After last year's brutal allergy season, I was on the verge of starting on months of expensive, painful and time-consuming allergy shots. Thanks to WoodyKnows, I have a cheaper, faster, more reliable alternative that doesn't involve many needles and hours in waiting rooms.

Thank you, WoodyKnows. Please succeed and stay in business. I don't want to face allergy season without you.

My daughter is very allergic to multiple things and anaphylactic to several things. She could not tolerate going outside due to pollens. She had to miss out on music and art lessons in school as she couldn't go into the room due to mild mould in the room which triggered asthma. No school excursions. She could not tolerate diesel fumes from the school bus or traffic. Since using Woody Knows filters, my daughter has a real life again. She can go outdoors with friends and enjoy most animals without getting asthma if she wears her filters. No more spending school holidays stuck inside the house. These filters have given my ddaughter and me out lives back.
