Curad Curad Non-Stick Pads With Adhesive Tabs

Curad Non-Stick Pads, 2 Inches X 3 Inches with Adhesive Tabs, 10 CountI had a box of the previous version of these, and liked them quite well. One pad would do for 24 hours if it stayed dry, and could even be removed and reapplied with the adhesive continuing to hold. The pad was woven cotton, and didn't get pesky fibers stuck in the wound.

This new version says "comparable to Telfa pads" on the box, as pictured, whereas the old one had real Telfa (as the item title says). I'm guessing the item for sale is as pictured, and the title is incorrect.

Anyway, I don't have an opinion on whether the imitation Telfa covering is better, worse or the same as real Telfa. But the adhesive doesn't hold as well, won't hold if you remove and reapply it, and the pad is spun cotton fiber that gets everywhere. You'll have to change these new ones more often.

I agree with the last reviewer. This does come off the wound fairly easily but it falls apart with the inner layers of cotton making a mess. I went to take it off and it came apart in layers with the non-stick layer still on my wound. It did pull off easily when I finally got a grip on it but with the other layers falling apart first, it wasn't very neat.

These used to be light brown in color, now are an unsubtle white.

The side tabs have gotten smaller and less sticky, so come off easily from parts of the body being flexed.

OneTouch Ultra Blue Test Strips

One touch Ultra Blue 50 CountThe 100 strips that I received had an expiration date of July/2009 which means this purchase was a waste of money. I was upset and disappointed.

There's always a catch on buying discounted items. Based from my actual experience, the expiration date is less that 3-4 months. This is not publish during the ordering process. Good if you will be using this product at least once or twice a day so that you can consume it within 1-2 month period.

First of all, One Touch Ultra test strips are an awesome product. The one star rating is for Bargin OTC and their lack of customer service. BUYER BEWARE!

I attempted to buy this product from Bargain OTC, but they completely canceled my order with out any reason given. When I inquired and respectfully stated my dissatisfaction for the situation and threatened to never do business with them again, the "president", Bryson Burkholder, replied with a nasty e-mail. He called me "slanderous" and accused me of "trying to capitalize on and not someone who was trying to establish a long term business relationship." I was attempting to buy their product... How else do you establish business relationships?

He also said, "People like you who threaten small businesses is why our country and economy are in such peril today."

So, if you don't want your orders randomly cancelled without explanation, or want to be accused of the country's problems... Don't buy from Bargain OTC. They obviously don't believe in the saying, "The customer is always right!"

We received the item in what looked like damaged shipping: a strip had already loosened its way out and fell out even before we opened the Amazon shipping packaging. The box it came in looked frayed and old. The expiry of the product was for April 2010, and the ones you get in the store right now are for April 2011 or later.

Thankfully the return process at Amazon was smooth enough. We ended up buying this product in the store, since the expiry date is a concern.

COOL BANDANA TIES NECK COOLER SCARF WRAP ICE COLD SCARF

COOL BANDANA TIES NECK COOLER SCARF WRAP ICE COLD SCARFI soaked this in cool water as instructed and was supposed to leave it for 30 minutes, no more. I forgot to take it out in time and 2 hours later fished it out of tepid water. It was cool to the touch but not the icy cold I needed. It's my fault for leaving it in the water too long, but really... you would think it could retain some kind of coolness. It took forever for the crystals to get back to it's regular shape -about 3 weeks to dry up again. The length is okay and the width of the tubing is rather small but fit around my neck. I think it's better suited for a child -like in the picture. Would I buy this again? Probably not.

Vestil TPA-10 Steel Economy Floor Tape Applicator, 6"-1/2" Maximum Roll Diameter, 1"

Vestil TPA-10 Steel Economy Floor Tape Applicator, 6'-1/2' Maximum Roll Diameter, 1'- 4' Tape Width
  • Economy floor tape applicator
  • Comfortable hand grips and durable rubber wheels allow for easy operation and maintenance
  • Made of steel
  • Features a soft rubber applicator head
  • Holds tape rolls with a 3-inches diameter core and widths between 1-inches minimum to 4-12-inches maximum

We were very disappointed in the floor tape dispenser we received. The box came all banged up. There were no assembly instructions albiet wasn't too difficult to figure out. No operating instructions for tape sizing adjustments. I would never purchase an item from this company again. $106 dollars or so is not worth the hassle of trying to return the item. From now on I will be cautious anytime I'm buying something tru Amazon and its advertisers.

This floor tape applicator does the job that it is supposed to do. When it arrived, it seemed dirty (as if it had been sitting in a warehouse for YEARS), and the handle was a bit askew. Also, you'll need to go over the tape with a cloth or something after the application to be sure the tape takes. We found that the weight of the applicator is not enough to completely seal the tape to the floor.

American Diagnostic Corporation 340 Velcro Tourniquet, Adult, Blue, Adult

American Diagnostic Corporation 340 Velcro Tourniquet, Adult, Blue, AdultThis product is made for adults? I am a smaller than average adult and this thing wont fit around my arm at all. Well maybe my wrist only, but this is useless junk. I'll just keep it for child use only. Use a belt or some other type of tourniquet instead.

I purchased this thinking it would be easier to put on yourself in the event it was necessary. Well, the rubber does not have much give so applying it to ones arm alone is difficult. Had I cut my artery (which happened recently) I would have probably bled out since i would have had to remove pressure from the wound and then taken a minute to situate myself so I could hold, stretch, and apply. It would have been better had they had a buckle that it doubled back through before being velcroed to itself.

First, this is a great product if:

Used on a very small person, who isn't you... (almost impossible to use on yourself.)

I thought that I found a way to use it on myself, then almost have it ripped in two pieces... IN TWO DAYS... I mean it's GREAT QUALITY rubber and such, and I ALMOST BROKE IT IN TWO DAYS! It's maybe 1 foot long... ONE FOOT LONG.... for an adult.

I'm beside myself.

As I said, GREAT QUALITY for a first aid kit, just don't hurt yourself... yikes.

First Aid Only 1-3/4" X 2" Fingertip Fabric Bandage, 40-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)

First Aid Only 1-3/4' X 2' Fingertip Fabric Bandage, 40-Count BoxesThese bandages come unstuck as soon as they get a little damp from hand-washing, rinsing dishes, or whatever. So unless you can keep the bandages completely dry, they're a waste of money. I am very disappointed in the product.

I bought these when I ran out of Zee brand fingertip bandages. Big mistake. Zee bandages are more expensive per unit, but stay firmly stuck even when hands are soaking wet.

I put two fingertips across a tablesaw blade, got seven stitches to hold that back together, and really needed a lot of fingertip bandages until they healed up. These worked really well. As another commenter pointed out, they don't hold up well to being wet, but the glue also washes off easily; the waterproof finger bandages left a lot of goop on my fingertips, and I'd rather just carry an extra bandage for after I wash my hands than have to sit there and pick glue off my fingers at the end of the day. Tradeoff, I guess.

Would buy again. Hope not to ever, ever need this many a second time.

DMSO Gel 90% DMSO 4oz

DMSO Gel 90% DMSO 4ozI have had pain in my leg and lower back for more then 20 yrs most times i can live with the pain but then there are those times where nothing works.. Well DMSO does 5 minutes after rubbing on my leg and back the pain is gone.

1st time i used it, it worked right away and i was pain free for 6 hours. second time i used it was at night which was my worst time. it last for 12 hrs. Now i have to use it about once a week to keep the pain gone and i have only used it for about a month. and my 4oz bottle i not even half gone. this stuff rubs on for ever and little dab with do ya.

I am 51 years old, and took up roller skating again a year and a half ago after 27 years of inactivity; (I skated when roller discos were popular), I have had a slight knee problem for a few years prior to taking up skating again, nothing that required medical attention though.

Anyway, after using DMSO for a few weeks, I no longer have knee problems, I'm glad I did not go to a doctor.

Probably the best product I have ever tried for join stiffness and back pain I have used to date. I simply rub a small amount on my ankle where I have pain from an old break and within five minutes the pain is gone. It also works quite well on low back pain. My husband told me about this stuff. He uses it on his knees. It works and I will always have a jar of it handy.

I just ordered this product, and haven't used it yet (I'm sure it works as well as any other 99% pure DMSO gel or cream), but I want to warn those who see the $3.25 price tag and think "Oh, what a great deal!".

It truly is a good deal (most DMSO gels or creams are $14+ *without* shipping), but the shipping on this product (the price of which is NOT listed, even when you place the order), brings the price up to over $9. Yep, that's right; the shipping is double the cost of the gel. Caveat emptor!

3M Durapore Silk Tape - 3 x 10 Yds - Box of 4

3M Durapore Silk Tape - 3 x 10 Yds - Box of 4Was exactly what I expected and had used in the hospital by nurses as part of my treatment for my injuries ............

I have to wrap my arm each night with short stretch wraps to keep the swelling from lymphedema from getting out of control for the rest of my life. I need this tape to secure the wraps and this tape keeps them in place even if I toss and turn in bed. The quality is good and I can use each strip I attach for 3-4 nights before I replace it with another strip. I use about a foot of tape twice a week, so this box of 4-10 yard rolls should last me for a while. Good product and price.

La Bella Styling Gel Frizz Control, 40 Ounce

La Bella Styling Gel Frizz Control, 40 OunceI've tried them all, KMS, Joyco, LA Looks, the list goes on

From cheap to expensive, I've tried everything under the sun

But one thing is for sure, I always come back to the one

La Bella Gel, it's second to none.

Like I said, I've tried most gels, from Axe, KMS, Joyco Ice, etc. However, over my years of experience this is the best gel. It's cheap, they give you a LOT, it holds really well, and it does NOT flake. What more can you ask? The only thing is that unless you get free shipping, the gel will cost you, but if you can get it for free shipping, then it's the best gel out there, second to none.

ALCOHOL SWABS 100/PK BD

BD Alcohol Swabs Thicker, Softer, 100 Individually Foil WrappedYou pay a little more but last the longest. The other brands I tried, dry out to quickly because of the thin packaging, if they become creased. These are thicker, bigger, and hold alot more alcohol. I also use these for sanitizing my hands before being served at restaurants. If the kids scratch themselves, I wipe the scratch or small cut with this first, then bandage if necessary. Great for getting permanent marker stains off of your hands. Used also to remove food stains on your shirt or blouse. Test on material, first. Had no problems with cotton, or 60/40 cotton mix. Your may see different results. If it does not completely remove stain it will break it down until your next wash or dry clean. DO NOT USE ON MONITOR SCREENS. It has 70% alcohol content. It will remove any protective coatings. Blah, Blah, Blah.

BD Alcohol Swabs Thicker, Softer, 100 Individually Foil Wrapped

Purchased alcohol swabs because I am type 2 diabetic and take blood/sugar readings three times a day. The BD alcohol swabs I purchased are better than those that I had been using in the past. They are thicker and contain more alcohol so that they insure a germ free area of skin at the puncture point thus aiding in not developing pucture wound tissue from the introduction of germs under the skin after repeated puctures in the same area over time.

neen Aquaflex Weighted Vaginal Cones

neen Aquaflex Weighted Vaginal ConesI purchased this product after using ben wa balls which were pretty light weight, but much smaller than these. I was disappointed that I could already hold the smallest cone with all of the weight with very little effort. The product information makes it sound like this is impossible and means you aren't using them properly. I checked and rechecked, pulling it to sit as low as possible. I walked around the grocery store for over an hour without issue. This product is probably good for novices, but doesn't appear to be good for people who have already been doing kegels.

great product. Does what it is designed to do. I was able to use them comfortably and the help in no time.

I just started using this two days ago so I will post an update after I've used it the full 12 weeks.i do not have stress incontinence however I am 44 and have had children so I thought it might be good to make sure I'm in shape down there.

The cones come in a nice heart shaped box with different weights you can insert inside of the cones I think I was a little too confident and tried to start off with a weighted cone and it promptly slid right out of my vagina So I removed the weight and reinserted the cone for longer than the recommended twenty minutes..just kept it up there all day. When I returned home I thought I'd try adding the weight to the cone once again and this time it stayed in!

Later that night I was intimate and I felt like my vagina was getting stronger already! My partner, who knows nothing of me using the cones mentioned something about how he could really feel me orgasm. So.thus far in just two days I've already noticed a difference!

Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer NXT, Each

Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer NXT 1000 mL, EachOur first case lasted us almost two years. We installed dispensers in each of our four bathrooms and one in our kitchen. Two of our bathrooms are infrequently used (by comparison) so these 1000ml sizes lasted quite awhile. But the work they did was admirable. The transmission of viruses and such was much less in the time we've had these, and I am very pleased that we made the investment in this product in our home. I know that most people buy Purell type products in those little pump dispensers at the grocery store, but they are wasting their money. If you do any kind of per ounce comparison, this is the way to go.

My son had a liver transplant in May, so keeping the germs down is #1 priority in our house now!

Drive Rolling Shopping Cart By Drive Medical 1 Per Case DRV-RTL8554This shopping cart By Drive Medical is the best shopping carts I have owned. I have purchased two others in the past & I recomend this cart to anyone in need of a cart for shopping. I realy like that it is inclosed in canvice.

I live in Manhattan and carrying "shoulderloads" and "armloads" of plastic bags are NOT my scene. Plus, it just creates shoulder issues! This bag is great, it opens wide enough to place your stuff in when in the market and closes with a quick pull and your stuff is secure. It is tall and holds TONS of stuff, especially when you are buying bulky items, it just holds it all! Nice and Sturdy craftsmanship, folds up right into the closet! It has paid for itself!

I have even used it for trips on the weekend, packing in my stuff and pulling it along!

It is really easy to pull/push and larger and nicer than the one at 'whXXl fxxds'. Trust me, BUY IT!
