Synergy Far-infrared Ray Therapeutic Ankle Support, One Size Fits All

Synergy Far-infrared Ray Therapeutic Ankle Support, One Size Fits AllI recently tore my Achilles Tendon and post surgery ordered this ankle support with high hopes for its curative powers. However, in spite of my normal size foot (10½ D) the product doesn't fit ! It's too small. The Velcro(tm) closure barely covers the front of my foot. I'd also like to note that the wrap itself is rather bulky for its small size and doesn't fit smoothly around my ankle and lower leg. If it were a more expensive product I'd return it but the cost and trouble aren't worth the effort. In the end, the lack of a "good fit" will prohibit me from discovering if the FIR benefits truly work.

Whenever I wore this item, it was very uncomfortable to wear. As well, the bottom part grinded into by foot which left a very nasty bruise. I tried to re-adjust the support but no such luck. The support kept rubbing right into my foot. Very poorly designed.

i have charcot's foot. altho made for the ankle, the support cushions the foot to protect it.. ez on/off with velcro, washable, has lasted many months with everyday wear. cannot be worn with shoes, best over your sock as slipper. altho i am not sure how the infrared works but the long time swelling left in 2-3 days...and swelling stays down with daily use, sleep with it. i have custom shoes for $550. that don't do as well.

One size does not fit all. It was way too big to fit my daughter's ankle which is about normal size

It does not fit no matter how I tried because, I figured out, your leg has to be big while your foot has to be small. I think it also corresponds the other viewer's comment... So sorry.

Unguentine Unguentine Ointment Original

Unguentine Ointment for Burns, 1 oz.I burned my hand on my BBQ and it was pretty painful. I was using Aloe Vera lotion and Neosporin on the burn, but it was in a place that kept getting scrapped and it looked like it was getting infected. People kept commenting on it, so I went online to find something on Amazon that was rated 4 stars and above for healing burns. The recommendations were correct. It took away the redness and yellow infected looking area right away. I have only been using the product for 4 days, and the burn is almost completely healed. When it starts to itch I add more and the burn and itch are gone in seconds. I did not know that this product existed until I looked up burn products on Amazon. I would recommend this product to anyone with a mild burn or scrape.

I use this product on a lot more than burns. It seems to help healing of any kind, skin rashes, etc. I was very sorry not to see it on pharmacy shelves where it used to be a standard, many years ago. Personally, I prefer it over other antiseptics. It's a "must have" in my first aid kit.

PACK OF 3 EACH PONARIS NASAL EMOLLOENT 1OZ PT#1059200001

PACK OF 3 EACH PONARIS NASAL EMOLLOENT 1OZ PT#1059200001I suffer form sinusitis all the time. It gets worse in the winter. This along with herbs I use in my nose really helps. Keeps nose from being dry and helps you breathe. I have used this for over 10 years would not be without it.

My new ENT doctor recommended I order Ponaris as I had the old type sinus surgery that removed the filtering process and so every little irritant is a problem as well as drying and crusting. He felt like we could prevent having so many sinus infections requiring antibiotics with daily regimen of Ponaris and saline rinse. I have only used it about a month now and am extremely pleased with how much better my sinuses are feeling. Can review it better after using it a full year. Have had sinus problems all my life and will be very grateful if this continues to give relief.

My ENT doctor recommended this as a help to stop my nosebleeds. It is miraculous! I've been using it for a few years now and love how it soothes my dry nose and can help stop the nosebleeds. I really like the smell, but most of my family doesn't. My children won't use it because of the smell. I will keep using it and encourage them to use it when needed.

Systane Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops Convenient Preservative Free Vials

Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops High Performance  Preservative-Free Vials, 0.4mL 24-countLubricant eye drops are expensive and of the many preservative-free eye drops I have tried, Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops Preservative-Free Vials, 0.4mL 24-count are by far the best for my money!

I have chronic dry eye ever since getting shingles in my eye and also after a bout of optic neuritis. I suffer with a chronic illness that often effects my eyes and my opthamologist recommended I use lubricating eye drops, preservative-free only, several times a day and at bed-time. He gave me several samples to try and Systane was one of them. Of all the samples, Systane was my favorite.

With Systane there is no stinging, no stickiness, no blurriness. I feel comfort immediately and can resume reading promptly. Other drops can be too gel-like, causing a blurriness which lasts way too long for me. They are also very sticky, causing the eyelids to get crusty and stick together. Other drops sting and I am just too sensitive to deal with that discomfort, even though the stinging might not last very long.

Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops Preservative-Free Vials, 0.4mL 24-count are not only the best eye drops for my chronic dry eye condition, but for my pocketbook as well. They seem to be the least expensive without compromising on quality. Amazon is my best source and I'm glad I can purchase them here.

My right eye had been suffering from dryness due to the cold office A/C air blasting from above. Per doctor's recommendation, I finally decided to use eye drops. I tried Systane's Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops, but it only left my eye feeling filmy but no relief from pain. I tried another product called Allergan Refresh Plus Lubricant Eye Drops Single-Use Vials 100 ct., and that gave me instant relief from pain without the filmy feeling. My recommendation is try to get samples from your ophthalmologist or optometrist before buying in bulk quantity.

Been wearing contacts all my life and no eye drops have ever worked till my doctor gave me a sample of these WOW!! I couldn't believe how great they work!! If you have dry eye syndrome, Meibomian Dysfunction, have that gritty sandy feeling, get something in your eye or just want to refresh them then this is the product!! I've spent tons of money over the years on eye drops that do nothing but make my eyes feel worse or even more dry till these. They can be a bit expensive but I got a great deal here at Amazon.com!! BIG TIP -> If you have Meibomian Dysfunction take lots of Omega 3-6-9 and it CAN completely resolve itself and use these drops for the interim trust me, it DOES WORK!! (BTW, get the vials rather than the little bottles; it's much cleaner and healthier for your eyes!! Costs a bit more but it's way worth it and can you put any price on your those precious eyes of yours?!! :)

I tried both of these and honestly, Systane IS better, however it does blur your vision for a couple of minutes after use. I use both, Systane when I wake up in the morning and before I go to bed and Refresh when I'm at work (since I'm in front of a computer for most of the day). If you don't mind blurry vision for about a minute, I think systane is overall better (but more expensive).

These drops are a bit thicker than something like visine, but you might be familiar with these kind drops if you've used drops like thera tears before. These drops do a nice job of lubricating dry eyes, especially chronically dry eyes. I found myself using eyedrops several times a day, and my doc told me that if I use eyedrops more than a couple times a day, I should really be using preservative free drops or else it can actually exacerbate my dry eye problem.

Overall these work pretty well, and each vial has enough drops for multiple uses and a cap to close the vial after you open it initially. It's not an airtight cap, but it'll allow you to use the vial later.

Special pack of 5 BUTLER END TUFT BRUSH 308-RMy wife has been using these for years. They were recommended and supplied by her orthodontist. Unfortunately, her last couple visits he was out of them and we moved have from his area. She's very pleased to have her new brushes.

Thank you for having this item available!! I have looked at several drugstores in my area, but never have been able to find this small tuffed toothbrush that my orthodontist had recommended! So very happy to find the toothbrush in the brand that I wanted on your site!! Excellent!!

This little brush is great. I have always struggled with plaque build up on my lower front teeth. With this little brush, it is easy to brush this area well, with ease. And it has been the best and cheapest tool I have used to help with the plaque build up. It also is great for the entire mouth. Your teeth feel extra clean after using your regular tooth brush and this "tuft" brush. I have waited a long time for something like this. I think every child needs one of these. It brushes every corner of every tooth much better than any regular size tooth brush that I have tried.

Several years ago our dentist gave us end-tufted brushes when we had our semi-annual check-ups and we formed the habit of using them in addition to our regular brushes. Then the dentist stopped carrying them, and we could not find them in the stores. So on a whim I searched the net and was pleased to find them available. We are glad to have fresh ones and will reorder when necessary.

Chill-Its 6602 Cooling Towel, Blue

Chill-Its 6602 Cooling Towel, BlueWhat an amazing thing! This "scarf" actually gets COLD from simple evaporation, and is perfect to keep handy at work for hot flashes! It instantly cools me, and has been a godsend. I'm ordering a second one so that I have one at home and one in my office at all times. LOVE IT! It stays cool until it dries out, which takes a few hours, and it would probably last even longer in a more humid climate (I'm in the Arizona desert). A simple resoaking and wringing out is all it takes to "recharge" it instantly. I'm so glad I found this and recommend it to any woman experiencing "power surges." :)

I purchased the Chill-Its cooling towel to take on a trip to Honduras. It was somewhat cooler but I tried the Frog Togs towel and it was VERY cold! Wish I would have spent the extra money and gone with the name brand.

I have three products with me to test:

Ergodyne Chill-Its,

Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad

Your Generic Paper Towels (Control)

Examination:

I tested all three with different parts of my neck. Paper Towels are okay, they still feel cool, since water absorbs heat like crazy. This is the control. However, after using Ergodyne and Frogg Toggs, I noticed that they were significantly cooler, since they stayed cool, where as Your Generic Paper Towels will stop being cool after a few minutes.

Anyways, Ergodyne when opened, smelt like gasoline, corn oil, or diesel. Fairly off-putting, I had to use soap and water to clean it. As of right now, (15 minutes later) the Ergodyne is less cool than my Frogg Toggs, suggesting that they evaporate water much quicker than Frogg Toggs.

In any case, when I opened the Frogg Toggs, it smelt as if someone wiped their...A** with it. Quite like if you had the mixture of manure and some sort of sour or expired milk. This was the most off-putting of smells. I still smell it faintly, even though it was washed with soap and water.

And Paper Towels? I don't think I need to evaluate them, since everyone can test with a paper towel.

Findings: All seem to be cool to the touch, but some are a bit cooler than others. Why? I assume that Frogg Toggs absorb and retain the most water, making them the most "cool".

#3: Paper Towels: Paper Towels are cool, but don't match up to the other two.

#2: Ergodyne: Not as effective as Frogg Toggs, but if you're hot you probably won't know/care about the difference.

#1: Frogg Toggs: The most effective, but Ergodyne's is a close second.

In short, this Ergodyne towel is nice and it works, but for ten dollars, I feel that I could just use some regular ol' towel for a much cheaper price. At least they don't smell.

Edit: And you could just buy a towel, because I used a new test, a damp shirt. After getting a splash of juice on it, I applied some water and soap. I then questioned the efficacy between a damp shirt and this towel. I then placed my towel near the stain. There was no real difference in temperature between this towel and this a wet shirt. In order to get this towel cold, I advise placing it in a fridge, or as a chilled/frozen plastic bottle water cover.

Update: If your towel starts to get warm, please grab the towel and spin it around in a circle. That'll make it cool again.

What a life saver. My apartment is on the top floor and is not air conditioned. We've been having humid, 100+ degree weather, and I would not survive without this towel. Yes, it's refreshing if you drape it on your neck or arm, but if you want your body temperature to plummet, here's what you do. Pour some cold water on it (refridgerated water, if you have it). *Barely* wring it out. This towel can be saturated and it still won't drip. Now drape the towel across your lap, or lay it on your chest/stomach. Better yet, lie down on it. You will be cold immediately. In fact, it might even be too cold for you! It works best when it's flat on your skin, which is why it's more effective to lay it on your torso or legs than it is to just drape it over your neck with a shirt on.

Now, it's true that this is basically a glorified synthetic chamois, like you'd use to dry your car. It's a tiny bit thicker, but not by much. If you want to spend only $5 instead of $10, go down to your local auto store and see if they have one in the car cleaner section. You'll know it's the right material if it comes rolled up in a tube and packaged in its own plastic wrap. It's called "PVA" material.

In any case, buy this, or something like it. Chill-Its, Frogg Toggs, or a generic PVA chamois, you will find instant relief. I bought mine for $13 in the store, and I have zero regrets. I would recommend this in a heartbeat.

I live in terribly hot/humid Florida. Just go outside and your breath is taken away because of the high humidity. So it's easy to understand how going to the gym or just taking a walk will make a person suffer. I've used this cooling towel at the gym and as long as I'm not in the steam room, it remains cool (almost cold to someone working out) and refreshing. I'm anxious to see how well it holds up to consistent use.

Realistic Male Masturbator

Novelties By Nasswalk My First Virgin P*ssy and A** Masturbator, FleshFirstly, I'd like to say that for those concerned about privacy, this product was delivered very discreetly in a plain Amazon box. Even if a person were to open the box or if it were to become damaged in a way to reveal its contents, the product itself is also wrapped in black plastic to ensure that there is no possible way someone is going to know the content of your package without you telling them or you noticing.

Secondly, the product is surprisingly small for the $30 or more your gunna pay for this puppy. It's about the size of a large universal remote control and smells strongly of silicone when you first open it, but that eventually goes away. I would honestly recommend you pay just $20-25 more for the actually lifesize 'Pussyman Ultra Realistic Pussy Anus' by Doc Johnson.

Lastly, the actual test review of the product. The anus is ribbed and the pussy is bumped on the inside for increased pleasure and different sensations. It feels great and cleans pretty easy. Would I recommend the product? Yes. Would I recommend paying $30 or more for this product? No. At most this thing is worth $20-25. But I'm not too upset considering what good use I've put it to. 😉

Got this in the mail a couple days ago and i have to say its awesome. But be aware it is really really small, but it feels amazing. both holes are very tight with sensational textures. Great product!

Heritage Products Castor Oil, The Palma Christi, 8 Fluid Ounces (240 ml) (Pack of 6)

Heritage Products Castor Oil, The Palma Christi, 8 Fluid OuncesI've read many reviews about how castor oil is supposedly good for hair and it promotes growth. So I wanted to try it out. It is pretty thick so I mixed it with coconut oil which also gives it a pleasant aroma (the castor oil barely has a scent). I used the oil on my eyelashes (because it's sad when my fiance's eyelashes are longer and fuller than mine) and I noticed that it did get longer and thicker looking. I'm not sure if my head is just playing tricks with me but I like my lashes now.

I also use it as an oil treatment for my hair because I recently got it chopped off and I'm trying all sorts of things to grow it out again. I'm not sure if it helps grow your hair but getting an oil treatment every now and then is good and healthy hair is always a plus.

My sister recommended that I use Palma Christi on a woolen cloth to help with my arthritis. I laughed at her but I was desperate. I can't rub the oil in because that too causes pain. I soak the woolen cloth in oil and place a hot water bottle on top. I thought i would really feel foolish if I woke up with a bed soaked in water and oil but I tried it anyway. I slept for 5 hours! I don't know if it was the combination of heat with the oil or not but, the next day I soothed my entire body, including my face, with oil. The jury is still out on how long this will last but I will ride the wave until I come to shore.

Sea-Band Wristband Child Morning & Travel Sickness

Sea-Band Child Wristband, 1 pair 'colors may vary'I'm not sure if my 3 year old would have gotten sea sick or not, but she didn't while wearing these, so I have to assume they worked. My only small gripe is that there are different colors and you can't choose what color you want. I got pink, had I been buying for a boy he would have been pretty upset I'm sure. Amazon lets you pick colors of other stuff, why not these?

I ordered these because of the more expensive price and the fact that the title says 2 count, I thought that I was getting 2 sets...perhaps the wording should say 1 pair...Also I got Blue which is okay but would have preferred pink Amazon should allow consumers to choose their colors.

I don't know why they don't sell this in drug stores but they don't. This is excellent tape for wound care if you need more than bandaid treatment. It is completely flexible (unlike drug store paper tapes which bend easily but can't be stretched) and very breathable to allow drying of fluids collected by the underlying dressing. You could probably even use it instead of a bandaid in bothersome areas such as finger joints or toes where it's tough to get a bandaid to stay in place. I used it for a serious foot wound that was in a load bearing place and of several types of tapes I tried, this one easily did the best in keeping the dressing in place and not being rolled off by activity.
