What we received
We received a near square medium duty clear tape sealed plastic package, measuring 9” x 11" x 2" weighing in at near (10) ounces. Folded within was the footrest/bed.  Inserts were included inside, that gave basic instructions.

Too small
I was really excited to receive this, from when I opened the package to when I started to open this up. However, my spouse had to do a mock trial and said in theory this appeared a great item, however, disagreed on its practicality and whether the steward/stewardess would allow this to clutter the row. Point acknowledged, but how about the tray? That’s down. So, we would have to be taking this off and on depending on the vagaries of the attendants and bumpiness of the ride. Because it did seem a little unstable.

Quality
Seems sturdy and durable enough.

Would I select this again.
I say yes, my spouse said no.

Rating
Based on the totality, I compromised and allow a weak four (4) stars while my spouse said lower.

Gifting
Would be okay for gifting, although no tags, the packaging was simple and it kind of looks like a commodity item that was bought on the cheap.

Value
In hindsight, and now having this in-hand, having this priced at near $50 is too high. A price less than half of that would be an idea to consider giving this a try.

Measures
Measures near 32” long and 18” wide. The average leg room is 31” on a plane

I hope my thoughts were informational.


This is my second box.  Glad I purchased from Amazon because I received the authentic product, complete with all meals and the meal planning guide at a better price than from Nutrisystem.  That didn't happen when I purchased from Wally world.  Between COVID and a broken ankle, I needed an affordable, healthy solution that was easy to prepare.  So glad I tried this.  The meals are actually pretty good!  And there is plenty to eat.  While you can't pick your meals, you can purchase different kits for variety, or if you are trying to focus on different aspects of your diet.  I first tried the "Balanced" plan, now I'm trying the "Protein Powered" plan to address bone healing. Very easy to use, all you need is a microwave, so if you're hobbling around on crutches or a knee scooter like me right now, and can't cook, it's a breeze to still eat healthy and prepare your own meals.  There are treats and protein shakes too (separate purchases, however).  You can add a simple salad, or slice of bread, almonds, fruit, veggies, an egg, avocado, etc., to enhance your plan.  It is all in the meal planning booklet.  You are also eligible for online support if needed.

This is a great, healthy system to allow you to lose or maintain your weight in a nutritionally sound, but realistic manner.  This ensures you will keep it off and restart solid eating habits, or teach yourself how to eat better going forward, or simply stay on course.  And it won't break the bank.  Ordering it from Amazon makes it so easy, nothing to join, no commitments to make.  So glad I tried it; can't recommend it highly enough.


I received my bracelet a couple of days ago and am pleased with it. It fits well, is obviously a medical ID bracelet that all medical personnel will instantly recognize, and the built-in software is basic, but serviceable.

Downsides: If you are a large person with a bigger than normal wrist, this bracelet might be too small for you. I am a 210-pound male and it fits me perfectly. However, I know some people with bigger wrists who might have problems.

The included software is a bit basic but seems to do the job. It has no built-in printing capability but I found it is easy to print: take a screenshot and print that. That takes a second or two and it works well. I'd prefer built-in printing, but this work around is simple and suffices. I suspect that all medical personnel and most everyone else can figure it out in a second or two. Then again, there isn't all THAT much information. I'm not sure anyone will really need to print it.

I also copied a text file to the jump drive called EMERGENCY - READ ME.TXT that duplicates most of the information I entered into the bracelet's ID and then I added quite a bit more info besides. I gave the names and phone numbers of several next of kin, in case the two listed in the bracelet's software were both unavailable. I also added information about my medical insurance, car insurance (I am guessing this could be useful after an auto accident) and everything else I could think of. The EMERGENCY - READ ME.TXT file is easily printed.

I am keeping the bracelet and plan to wear it all the time.


This gave me no effect and seemed like it caused the candida overgrowth on my face and scalp to start growing and itch as bad as sugar.
I assume Lion's Mane is just supposed to infect your body by growing in it like it would a tree.
I don't know what to think about how this is an extract, since on their site it states they boiled it down, which means they could have destroyed the live nutrition. On this note, I am unsure if eating a dead mushroom is going to properly infect your body with this tree infecting mushroom.

This Lion's Mane extract tasted similar to cocoa powder, which might be considered nice. Other reviewers stated it tasted fishy, but that it worked. I felt this was significant to mention. Maybe I got a different batch than they did. Maybe the quality control is not functional. Maybe it was harvested at the wrong time.

On the plus side, the 30 day money back guarantee was long enough to figure out this was causing me unwanted effects. If the 30 day guarantee is still in effect, why not see if it works for you?

I think all these companies leave a note that they are sorry you didnt like their "too good to be true" mushroom supplement, but that you failed by not using it for 2 months. But... when they sell a 1 month supply I dont believe it is fair to tell you to use it for 2-6 months before it works. Does this mean it has to grow inside your nervous system?

Because they were extremely easy to deal with, I would order different products from this seller, which was Samsara Herbs. My rating is for the product, not the seller. Since often the same product is sold by many merchants on Amazon.


I have made my own laundry soap for years and two of the chief ingredients are Borax and Washing Soda (Soda Ash).

This is two 5 lb bags--one of Borax and one of Washing Soda.  Each is finely ground and no lumps which makes them easy to dissolve when making my laundry soap.

I have a liquid version and a powdered version.  I am currently using my liquid version.

For the liquid version I use
3/4 cup super washing soda
3/4 cup borax
Shake well to dissolve in a 1 gallon jug about 1/4 full of warm water then add water to fill the jug leaving room for the
3/4 cup Original Blue Dawn
This makes 1 gallon of laundry soap which uses 1-2 TBL for front loader or 1/4 c for top loader for fresh, clean clothes.

The powdered version uses
1 bar (5 oz.) Fels-Naptha laundry bar, grated or run through the food processor
2 cups (14 oz.) borax
1 3/4 cups (14 oz.) washing soda
Instructions
Grate the entire bar Fels Naptha (or other laundry bar soap using the fine side of a cheese grater or food processor.
Pour grated soap, borax, and washing soda into a large mixing bowl.
Stir to mix well then transfer mixture to quart-size or larger container. (I like to run it all through a food processor to make it all very finely chopped)
To Use: Add 1 tablespoon powdered laundry detergent to the wash load. You may need to adjust depending on your conditions and washer size. You will not need much to produce excellent results.

I go back and forth on which I use depending on whether I can get some fels or not.

As you can see, these bags of Borax and Washing Soda will last me a very long time for my laundry needs which makes these a good value.  And they come right to my door!


I groom my dogs myself, and the feet is always the hardest part.  I saw an advertisement for this, or something similar on Facebook ? and thought, hmm 🤔 that might make the feet part WAY easier.

So, I purchased off Amazon for the fast shipping, free returns etc.  It arrived quickly, un-damaged and I let it sit for a bit.  It’s not really grooming time yet anyways.

So this week I got the flu and during a brief period of wellness that allowed me sit on the couch instead of in bed, I decided to test it out.  I was exhausted so I did the rear feet one day and front feet the next which my dog was fine with.  She HATES getting her feet groomed.

It went really well.  The tool works as described as you can see in the photos.  It was a lot easier than my large clipper, safer and beats resorting to scissors which I usually do.  Best part is my dog tolerated it quite well.  She wasn’t thrilled, but there was minimal pulling away.  It helped I think that the lowest speed was more than enough to do the job.  It is quieter and perhaps has less vibration which I assume is what my dog is afraid of.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with the purchase and would definitely recommend.  I can’t speak to longevity as it is a fresh purchase.  I would guess it holds up well with time and I can always update if it breaks.  Mine came pre-charged which was nice.  I see many future grooming sessions with happy dogs and hopefully no foot related trembling from the pups.


I have been a huge fan of the FitBit since I got my first FitBit in 2009.  So I was super psyched about the Aria and pre-ordered one from FitBit.  Unfortunately, the Aria has left much to be desired.

First, the positives.  It looks very cool and seems to be an accurate weight scale.  After an initial bit of confusion, it synchronizes wirelessly fine for both users of the scale.  And the online charts on the FitBit site are nice.

Now for the negatives.  The body fat measuring portion scale is far from accurate.  Even using the "lean" setting (since I am very active), the scale measures my body fat percentage 4-10% higher than reality.  And the body fat percentage varies greatly, jumping 2-4% from day to day. It even varies this much if one steps off and then immediately steps back on.  I realize that this scale is not to be compared with the types of equipment that professionals use to measure body fat, but I thought that this would give me a bit more accurate readings.

The bottom line is that it is a fine weight scale, but not a very good body fat scale.  And if all that you want is a fine weight scale, save some money and buy the [[ASIN:B003XHVSBC Biggest Loser 7544bl Cal-max by Talor Wide Body Scale, 440-Pound]] for $40.  The Taylor is a quality, accurate scale.

I wished I would have known this before I bought the Aria.


I have tried many diet supplements on the market, most of them without results. I decided to try this one and their "carb and fat attack" (I also reviewed that one). This supplement, while I have not lost any weight yet, it did stop my weight from climbing, so I am going to assume that I am in a transition (plateau) phase. I haven't been exercising regularly, so I am sure that is attributing to my stall.  I started walking more regularly and eating better, in conjunction with the other supplement, vitamins and fruit smoothies, I'm sure that with this product the weight will start to come off.<br />Now, as for effectiveness, I DO notice a change in my energy. I suffer from severe fatigue and I do find that I have more energy throughout the day when I take this. I keep it down to a minimum because of the caffeine, because I REFUSE to give up coffee and taking the full dosage with coffee does have me climbing the walls, so I reduced the dosage to 1 mug of coffee in the morning and 1 capsule before lunch to keep my energy up. This works for me. I am sure it will take longer for me to see weight reduction results because I am taking a smaller dosage, but I am sure that I need to be on this for more than a month to see the results. And considering that I am having no ill side effects and everything seems to be okay, I think I will stick with this for a while longer and post my results of weight loss (if any) at a later date. For energy, I highly recommend.


I had a very scary reaction the the Clear Care with HydraGlyde.I've been using the original formula of Clear Care since 2011.  I originally switched to this formula because I having issues and sensitivity to another brands solution.  Recently I tired the new version with HydraGlyde because the store I went to was not carrying the original formula. I had and extreme reaction the first (and subsequent times) I used the product.

The first day I wore my lenses they were fine. After storing them for the recommended time in the HydraGlyde formula I experienced a cloud like film.  Initially I just thought my vision was a little blurry but within a half hour my visibility was the equivalent of being in a smoke filled room.  In addition to that when I was driving at night there were extreme rainbow halos around any light source or reflective surface.  Unfortunately I was not able to take them out right away and had to wait several hours.  When I did finally remove the contacts stored in HydraGlyde the haziness persisted.  I was scared that I would wake up the next morning and my eyesight would still be affected.  Thankfully it was not.  I did give the solution a couple more trys just to run a little self experiment.  Each time was just as bad even when trying it with ta different set of lenses.

When I returned to the original formula and had absolutely no issues. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL with the product.  My eye doctor mentioned that the push is to start storing all their contacts in an equivalent HydraGlyde solution when packaged for consumers. I also worry that the original formula will be phased out of stores and only HydraGlyde will be offered.  Alcon Laboratories, please, please do not do this. Many of us use your product specifically because additives have caused us issues in the past.

DO NOT BUY, stick with the original Clear Care.


I'm 6'5" tall, and yes, I'm about 3-4 inches too tall for the foot massage. My feet fit fine, but the fact that my knees are up higher means my legs don't fit in the calf air bags. It's really not a big deal - they end up squeezing me in the middle of my leg instead of engulfing my calf. The foot rest does extend about 5 inches - but it's not enough - and even if it was, my thighs are longer than the seat so my calves still would not fit right.

But I didn't want pay $3-5K for chair that fit someone like me, so this works just fine - The rollers move from my butt to the top of my shoulders and it's amazing. I don't know why anyone would buy a chair without an L track. I could probably stand about 10-15% more strength on the shoulders, but this chair delivers slightly more than I can take on my lower back and butt - I literally find myself lifting up a bit, it's so strong - which is good, my concern was that it'd be too weak. (Disclaimer, it might seem stronger to me because I'm a skinny guy)

The foot rollers are so strong, I wear slippers. - It'd be nice if they moved up and down my foot (maybe they do, and I haven't noticed) but you can sorta move your foot around to the right point.

It has 4 programs and also allows you to manually position the rollers anywhere and pick any massage technique. It's a great chair. I'm sure there are much better ones out there, but I'm considering the price when I give it 5 stars.


This is the best sleep mask I have tried.  All other masks seem to rest directly on my eyes, this one gives me distance between my eyes and the mask making it more comfortable to wear.  When I opened the package I put on the mask and was amazed at how dark it was while I was in a really well lit room.  The mask is well made and the material was comfortable on my face.  With most masks I can only wear them for about an hour maybe two, this one I had on for about seven hours and only took it off to find my alarm clock since I couldn't see it only hear it.  I got the blue mask for free to try it out and it is worth the price the seller is asking.  I am not much for the ear plugs as I have some issues with my ears. The ear plugs are soft enough and I will use them on the weekends when I don't have to get up for work.  The strap that goes behind your head is also comfortable, not once did the strap snag or pull my hair the overall experience was good.  I found that I had a better night of sleep with the mask than I have had in a long time.  I awoke more rested and my eyes are not as sore as the day wears on.  My wife wants one of these but I will have to get her a different color and get it soon before she takes mine.  The carrying case is handy for storing the mask during the day and if you plan to go on a trip.  I love this mask and suggest that if light bothers you when you sleep buy one of these.  If you work at night this will help you sleep during the day. Really happy with this product and the seller.


Don't buy this pipe unless it's ONLY for display. It looks good, but if you're a pipe smoker, you'll be disappointed, frustrated, and angry!
1) To start with, the product description would lead one to believe that the bowl --while not meerschaum-- is porcelain, as in fine china tea cup. Not so! To be sure, it IS porcelain but not like fine china; it is more like a porcelain bathroom fixture. The bowl itself weighs 5.5 ounces (164 grams); that's about a third of a pound! Without using your hand to hold it up while smoking, you must clench your teeth really tight around the bit. The rest of the pipe is lightweight for a total of 7 ounces (198 grams).
2) When I started trying to smoke this pipe, the smoke wouldn't draw. There were leaks where the bowl rests on the body, where the stem screws into the body, and where the bit fits into the stem. I was able to fix that as follows: I used Teflon white plumbers tape on the threads on the porcelain, the threads on the screw-in stem, and the bit where it fits into the stem. I also used white casein glue (kid's glue or carpenter's glue) between the bowl and the Wax Berry body. (The Teflon there was to keep the glue out of the threads so if I ever wanted to get it apart again, I could.) After that, I was reasonably happy with my pipe; it smoked fairly well for about a month. Then, ...
3) I got out my pipe, filled it with tobacco, clenched it in my teeth around the bit to light it, and the stem broke off completely, left hanging only by the plumbers tape!
Though I'm loath to throw the pipe away after all that trouble, I think I will.


Wow, I can't believe Alex is selling the rings on Amazon as well. FYI, I am his high school friend and who helped him design the instruction manual in the early stage of his business. In fact, I was wearing the rings as shown in the demo pictures. I am the person who actually partially influenced him to research on magnetic therapy. Back in 1991, I told Alex that that I received magnetic therapy on my earlobe for helping to improve my vision. He then started reading books on his own and doing all those experiments at home. He did not go to colleage, but like to do try things on his own. I think most people owe Alex an open mind to give it a try, just as Hillary said about Trump. I am not a Trump supporter though. Anyway, I think the rings will make you speed up metabolism, but it is somewhat roughly made. If he gets some big investors involved such as those in the Shark Tank show, they may be able to help him to improve the design and make it more comfortable to wear. Of couse, they may just laugh him off the show, if he even made to that show. I found it make me difficult to fall asleep, so I don't wear them, as I have to work M-F, unlike Alex he who usually gets up at 1 pm and live on his own schedule.  To sum up, the rings do work somehow, and a few people may feel no effect, and I believe most do. If it is comfortable to wear, I would give it 5 star rating. Cheers!


The Flex-I-File brand is known for producing high-quality tools that are designed to help users achieve precise and accurate results when working on their models. Some of the tools produced by the brand include sanding sticks, polishing pads, and brush-on glue applicators.

One of the key features of Flex-I-File tools is their flexibility. Many of the sanding sticks and polishing pads produced by the brand are made from a flexible material that can conform to the shape of the model being worked on.

Another useful feature of Flex-I-File tools is their range of grits and abrasives. Sanding sticks and polishing pads are available in a variety of different grits, ranging from coarse to fine. This allows users to choose the right tool for the job, whether they are looking to remove rough spots or achieve a mirror-like finish.

Flex-I-File also produces a range of brush-on glue applicators that are perfect for applying small amounts of glue to precise areas of the model. These applicators come in different sizes, allowing users to choose the right tool for the job, and they can be easily cleaned and reused.

The range of grits and abrasives, combined with the flexibility of the sanding sticks and polishing pads, make Flex-I-File tools an excellent choice for anyone looking to take their model building or miniature painting to the next level.


This is a nice scale, but like so many others, I just couldn't get it to work consistently.

When I first tried out the scale after first setting it up, it synced immediately. But the next morning when I weighed, it failed to sync. I tried weighing several times, and got the Wifi symbol with an"x" display. I looked on my Fitbit dashboard display and it had not synced. But several hours later when I looked again, it had mysteriously synced all those attempted weighings.  After that it would not sync anymore.

I headed online to the "My scale is not syncing consistently" page and checked the suggestions for this situation. No, I had not make any changes to the network. Yes, the scale was within a short distance of the main router in an area where other computers and devices connect up fine. No, I didn't have any indication that there is any interference or too much traffic on the network. I do have a network with MAC filtering, but I had put the scale's wifi number into my router, granting it permission to connect, and restarted. I'm pretty sure that wasn’t the problem, since the scale did sync a time or two. If it were blocked out, then it would have failed to ever sync.

I then followed the instructions online of resetting the scale by removing the battery, pressing down the corners, and going through the setup routine again. This time it crashed my router for some reason—and, to make a long story short, again failed to produce consistent syncing.

After working with it further, I saw that there was little chance of ever getting it to sync reliably, and just decided to give up.


this bag comes with a lot of stuff, most of which I wouldn't have a clue how to use in a non-emergency situation let alone a real emergency.  but im not a camping, boating, hiking outdoorsy kind of girl.  the most camping I do is in my 2020 Toyota Prius where I can leave my a/c running all night while I sleep in the car for a total of $1.50 worth of gas.  that's it for me roughing it.  the thing I didnt like was that there is no explanation as 2 what everything is in the bag... u have to go back to the amazon website and scroll down to figure out what everything actually is.  most of the stuff u can just guess.  the bag fits all this stuff nicely in the bag with plenty of room to spare (small stuff), so u can add anything that wasnt included.  there are a lot of ingenious toys in the magic bag.  there is a wallet sized rectangle thing that has a rope, saw, ruler, and even SOS directions located on it.  I also really like the knife as well.  these 2 items wont be residing in the bag... they will be moving permanently into my car for emergencies.  there r different kinds of bandages and tourniquets within the pouch.  there's even a wire saw (I thought it was handcuffs silly me).  my boyfriend is dying to go outside and try cutting down a small tree.  I hope this was helpful.


I bought this to use at the office under my desk.
But then I had knee surgery so I used it mainly at home for rehabilitation.

Now I use it for exercise while I'm watching TV.  I just leave it in front of my viewing chair so whenever I sit down my feet end up on it and next thing you know I'm pedaling without even thinking about it.  I can easily do 45 minutes while watching a show on tivo and it's painless.

Others have commented that the unit will slide across the floor, and that's true it does slide a little bit gradually as you use it, but that's not a product defect as I see it.  Other than using glue or screws, it is unreasonable to expect that any device resting on the floor isn't going to slide as you apply a large lateral force to it with your legs.  However, fixing this is TRIVIAL!  Just get a couple 4-6 foot lengths of rope, strap, or something similar and loop one around each side of the rear bar on the unit.  Loop the other ends around your chair leg(s) and the unit won't go anywhere.  This has worked like a charm for me and takes 10 seconds to put on or take off.

UPDATED:  Well, I pedaled this thing to death, literally.  The pedals started grinding and slipping after about 6 months of nearly daily usage for about 20 minutes each.  I opened it up and there are two gears that form the main mechanism.  The teeth on the smaller gear had been rounded down until they no longer interlocked with the larger gear.  Had to trash it.  Maybe I should've splurged for the magnetic version.


I use this as a meal replacement in the morning as I don't take the time nor have the appetite for a conventional breakfast. Before this it was coffee and whatever I grabbed when I got to work, usually a leftover cookie or croissant sort of thing. I discovered this at my local co-op in single use packs for mixing with your beverage of choice. I use coconut or almond milk and a sport shaker, 2 minutes and I'm on my way. This 2.2 lb canister is much more cost effective than the smaller cans available locally, and MUCH more than the single use packs. Now I feel much more clear headed and energetic in the morning than I did on the caffeine and sugar diet.

The ingredient list is outrageous! They have packed every nutrient in the world into this stuff by the looks of it, from spirulina to schisandra root whatever that is. Seriously though, I was looking for a natural healthy protein shake and this delivers the goods without any refined sugar or carcinogenic sugar substitute, nor any nasty artificial chemicals at all. The flavor works for me, it's just sort of rich and malty when mixed with my milk substitutes. I can down an 8 oz (2 scoop) batch quickly, although the instructions suggest making 2 batches using 1 scoop each and taking it twice a day. One thing of note- only mix up what you intend to consume right away. The mix continues to thicken while sitting, after a few hours it becomes a gelatinous goop that you definitely don't want to drink.


I tried JYM protein powder and it is one of the best ones I have ever tried in terms of the flavor. I am generally very picky about the flavor of my protein powder, and it took me a long time to find something that I really liked. This one comes very close to that in terms of not having either the bad flavor or the after taste. According to the supplement facts, it has about 24 grams of protein for every 38 grams and 140 calories plus 2.5g of fat. The amount of fat and the calorie were a little bit higher than my other protein powder, but it wasn’t a really big deal. The only thing that is missing in the supplement facts, is the amount of cholesterol in each serving.

The flavor is pretty good, but it is a bit overly sweetened. The artificial sweetener also doesn’t help. It is hard to find a protein powder that doesn’t have the bad after flavor, but this one was decent. Not the best but was good enough. The serving size is one scoop and it says to mix one scoop with 6-12 oz of water, but I mixed it with 16 oz and it was still decent. One thing that this one was missing was the flavor of hazelnut. The chocolate flavor is obvious, but there is only a slight hint of hazelnut.

Pros:

Flavor, great scent, dissolvability in water and gritty taste plus the good packaging.

Cons:

The amount of sweetener is a bit high. It doesn’t taste bad, but it is slightly over sweetened, in my opinion.

Overall, I would recommend this protein powder if you are looking for a killer protein powder with good quality ingredients.


Only have used this product on my nose, but it works great. Had no problem with the nose hair trimmer. Worked as expected, bought it on sale and thought it was a steal for 10 bucks. Did not pull my nose hair out, it cut it.

Honestly, there is not much to say about this product, but it does the trick.

Note: Does not come with any batteries.

My Amazon Review Criteria:
5 Star: I got what I expected from the product and it was/worked better than expected. If you are considering a purchase, buy it. Would buy it again, I highly recommend.

4 Star: I got what I expected from the product and that is all. It just works. Still recommend the Item, probably hard to find a better product than this. Would buy again, I highly recommend.

3 Star: I got what I expected from the product most of the time. Has a few problems but it can be overlooked. Might buy the product again, but will look for other alternatives as well. I recommend the product, there might be better alternatives.

2 Star: I barely got what I expected from the product. Has many problems, product is bad. Would not buy again. I do not recommend buying this product unless there are no other alternatives.

1 Star: I never got what I expected from the product. Would not buy the product again, requested a refund or returned the product. (This is very rare for me.) I do not recommend buying this product whatsoever.

Note: I did NOT receive any incentive buying or reviewing this product. I want people to find products they like and will use.


I saw and bought this product at Vitamin Shoppe because it had 5 ATP, Royal Jelly and several other really good ingredients. I've taken Nootropics by a very reputable company, but they changed their formula and it's not as good as it was before.

I took one pill before lunch to see what type off effect it would have on me. It didn't seem to have any kind of effect on me so I felt confident in taking the 2 tablets as prescribed before breakfast with 8oz of water. I didn't notice any improvement on my focus, but I didn't get my 4pm slump. Instead I got a SEVERE, debilitating headache. I made sure I was hydrating really well. By 6 and 7pm my muscles in my entire body began to ache especially around my mid back and I got ringing in my ears. I'be Ringing in the ears usually means something with the kidneys.  I went to bed and continued to drink lots of water and tried to get some sea salt in me to keep my electrolytes in balance.

The following day after 13 hours of sleep (I usually get 5) I woke up without the headache and almost all of the pain in the back had subsided except between my shoulder blades. I felt very light headed so I made sure to continue to hydrate and eat well. Had I felt the way I did I took the two tablets I would have gone to the hospital. I don't go to the hospitals. I was that sick from this.

There's a LOT of ingredients in this supplement. Proceed with caution. The risks definitely outweighed any possible benefit. I'm a SUPER healthy person so I can't imagine what might happen to someone who is not in as great of shape as I am.


These hearing amplifiers are very comfortable to wear. I like the one-button to control volume and noise reduction. The small charging case is great to store and charge the devise at night. It also eliminates the need for an ON/OFF switch. (read instructions) I like the natural sound they produce.I waited for a month after receiving these In-the-Ear hearing amps before writing a review. I had bought three other In-the-Ear hearing amps before finding these Banglijian devices. Two were rechargeable, but would not stay in my ears…even after trying all three sizes of ear domes. The other pair were battery operated, but quickly realized a ninety-four-year-old guy with poor eyesight and arthritic fingers could not install and remove the extremely small batteries. I have been using a pair of Banglijian behind-the-ear hearing amps for a couple of years and was very satisfied with them. When the corvid-19 pandemic required wearing a mask, removing the mask usually pulled the hearing amp off. That is when I began looking at in-the-ear devices. The intent was to wear them anytime I’m wearing a mask. However, the quality of sound and ease of the one-button adjust…plus the comfort of wearing, has changed my mind.  WORDS OF WISDOM 1- Carefully read the extremely well written instructions. 2- Make certain to use the ear-dome that fits and is comfortable. It takes a while to make these determinations. 3- Make certain you put the hearing device in the ear canal properly. View the photo on Amazon’s web page, if necessary. 4-Set the volume level at the lowest that allows you to hear. I set my volume level too high and the quality of sound was unnatural…especially when listening to music. I cannot vouch for the reliability of the hearing devices. But for now, they will be my primary hearing aids.


This cushion is great for lumbar support; the gel structure is cooler and more resilient than a fiber-fill or memory-foam based product. I will likely buy another when I have extra income for other applications.

I bought this with Purple's "Portable" cushion as their website suggests that cushion is good for tall people in small cars, though I didn't find that to be true. This back cushion however is a godsend for my Chevy Cobalt's poorly designed driver seat.

Criticisms:
My advice to purple: Please document what the loops on the back of the cover are for. There is no indication or documentation I could find that describes what to use them for or how to use them, although I found some generic text referencing a "handle" on this cover, which seems to be left over from another cushion. Logic tells me these loops are to secure the cushion to the seat with elastic bands or straps.

While this was sold as "New" direct from Purple's Prime store, it did not come in a box like the Portable Cushion. This bothered me because I hadn't selected "no-hassle" shipping and the other cushion came with information about it. The cushion isn't affected by this shipping decision, but I would have appreciated a heads up. Receiving it without the packaging made it feel incomplete, especially when shipped next to the portable cushion. I felt like it was missing important information such as "Don't leave this in a 'superheated' car because it will deform if pressure is applied when heated above 105ºF" and perhaps straps to keep it in place on a seat-back.


I honestly cannot say I have really used it to vouch that it’s sturdy on any actual use but I can say that when I received it I “inspected” it thoroughly and I found it to be very sturdy. The snap on the outside of the case snaps very securely & doesn’t pop open w/the slightest touch. The size is perfect especially for a 4 compartment sleeve, I’ve always found that either the individual compartments are really small or REALLY big! If I’m gonna be out for the day I will take the sleeve for that day in my bag & bc of the bright colors I don’t have to rummage through my bag to find it (impressive bc my bag is always full of a bunch of junk) I also have times where I will be gone for several days so I will take the whole case & it fits in my bag w/no problem (even w/all of my junk in it)
So I’m really happy w/it for 2 reasons #1- the BRIGHT colors have made my life so much easier to find w/out having to take everything out of my bag!
#2- I really like the fact that there is an outer case that snaps securely so I don’t worry about dropping it & all the individual sleeves popping open & then have to spend 15 minutes on trying to find every single pill which usually involves moving all of my furniture bc my floor is hardwood so I don’t even have carpet to help it stay relatively in the same area where I dropped them.


I almost said these are just a very durable disposable towels when the table I am supposed to review arrived. The metal legs were covered with something that looked like dried up boogers ( or a glue?) but I wasn’t able to remove it by scratching off with my finger nails. I tried dipping paper towel in water just to see the reaction to water, was it gonna soften or something but no, 0 result.  Then I saw these and decided to give them a try. I dipped in water and pressed hard... it was COMING OFF! It wasn’t the water, it was the wipe a d I could tell by the way it wS coming off. It wasn’t melting, it was sort off coming off in tiny chunks. Regular paper towel didn’t do anything, nada! I don’t know much about fibers and exactly were these made but they are thin yet VERY DENSE. You can literally wash it, rinse it and reuse it. I really think the density of the fibers is what gives them scrubbing power. I then sprayed my bathroom sink with a bathroom cleaner and used this to wipe off..OMG! I didn’t use anything to scrub like usual (scotch scrub sponge), I just wiped with this wipe which scrubbed the sink and absorbed cleaner at the same time leaving my sink looking clean and shiny after just a few wiping moves, seriously? I then went onto my kitchen cabinets that were ahem kinda due for a scrub... did great.

The only downside is the packaging. It’s a plastic bag with a stack of large square towels. That’s it. It takes large space to lay flat and you need to keep it flat so it’s easier to remove one wipe at the time. That’s another part of the same problem, it’s not easy separating and pulling one out. Some sort of dispenser would be 100x better.


I purchased this as a lightweight backpacking solution. In theory, it is! But I haven't used it in the field for a number of reasons:
(1) It just seems like an awkward thing to carry because the attachment doesn't fit neatly into the bottle (it rattles around). You should be able to screw the nozzle back into the bottle in reverse so everything's self contained. I'm not sure how to carry the attachment (I don't want it touching my gear and don't want to carry something extra just to protect the glass.
(2) Glass - why? It seems fragile and I don't want to break it in a heavy pack.
(3) It should come with an extra cap for the bottle so you can carry water inside the bottle (then when you need it, the water is ready to go and you don't need to grab your hydration system to fill it). If you're in a rush, I can't imagine this being a quick process.
(4) Carrying the extra water it requires to use is heavier than a roll of TP.
(5) Cleaning the device when backpacking seems like a mess all by itself

I'll give this 2 stars because it's a decent idea, but need to subtract a few stars because it isn't practical enough for real-life use. Not to mention it's way over-priced for what it is. It's still in the package, collecting dust. I can't return it because the product isn't available anymore and the company has no online presence anymore.


This all-natural corn starch dental floss product comes in 2 compact rectangular-sized boxes.

Each box measures 2-3/8 inches tall (not including the lid, which I removed) x 1-inch width x 1-inch depth.
I like taking this dental floss with me when commuting; this box does not take up much space in the center console of my car.

Each box contains 50 meters of dental floss. The floss is unraveled from the top.

I find this floss is not as sturdy as my usual brand. If I used the same area of floss to go through 2-3 teeth, the floss will break. But, if I move along the dental floss area in between each teeth, the floss holds up well.
So, the end result is that I use more lengths of this floss during my normal oral care routine, than I would my usual brand.

I can't really taste the mint-flavor as I am flossing; but, that's not a big deal, as I am more interested in cleaning my gums and in-between the teeth.

Ingredients: 100% corn starch PLA, natural plant peppermint oil, candelilla wax
This floss is vegan and biodegradable; the box is made of 100% recyclable material.

While this product is made in a manner that is friendly to the environment, the strength of the floss is weaker than the other brands I use. But, it is a functional dental floss, and I do like using it.


I am not sure if this machine is accurate as I have no other machine to compare it to.  Drinking and driving is NOT an issue for me BUT I actually got this to use with others.  You know the friends that are mad bonkers drunk and are telling you they feel absolutely fine to go and drive home.  I can pull out this machine and have them blow to prove they are NOT able to drive home.  The machine is actually pretty light but slightly bulky to tote around unless you are already toting around a gigantic bag or backpack or something.  You could always just keep it handy at your own house when you have others over, though.  Again - it is pretty light regardless.

To test it I took a slug of schnapps I had and tested it a few minutes later - and it said I was 0.  I didn't drink that much and waited a bit (as the instructions said) and I had not even a buzz - so maybe it was accurate.  One day when I am actually drinking and feel a buzz - that is the next time I will test this thing.  It is hard now during COVID as I am a social drinker and there is no more "social" right now. : (  I was also worried that the beeps from the machine would be loud and obtrusive but they are very low and not a problem at all.

The only flaw I can see - without a true test right now - is that the directions are bonkers.  It is not really step by step but rather if's and if then's - but it is not written like that and is VERY confusing.  The directions seem to be much, much longer than what they need to be - seriously.  Definitely read the directions sober - if you are drunk these directions will make even less sense.


I have to say this is the best double electric breast pump out there in the market.
Let me explain why.

My wife had tried various breast pump from different brands and types. She tried double electric pump from Medela, the famous one, single manual pump from Philips Avent as well as the double electric one. Every time the pump arrive, our excitement that we fought finally there is a good pump to express milk ended in disappointment because after 2-3 times use, my wife always feels pain. Until she found Dr. Brown's Double Electric Breast Pump, which we took a bet to purchase it because it is quite expensive and more over, there's no support available in Singapore.

And it paid off. Yes, the pump is slower to express milk compared to others she had tried before. But this one doesn't cause any pain. It's so smooth. Yes, the parts to assemble the pump is quite tedious and it contains 6 different parts to assemble 1 pump, but those many parts are for the smoothness that the pump is meant for.

The only down side is that the top part of the bottle which is used to connect to the "pipe" to the electric pump is very tough to be assembled. One morning, I pushed to hard and it caused a small part broken. As I said, there's no support in Singapore where we live. So I contacted the customer service via online contact page and that night someone replied and she immediately arranged a replacement parts. The best part is that the replacement are free and they even ship to Singapore, all for free, no charge at all. And furthermore, they didn't just ship the broken part, but instead they shipped the whole parts that assemble the bottle complete 2 sets. So it's like receiving the entire new set except the electric part. What a great after sales service.


I had read the description and the reviews before getting these weight loss supplements because some people loved them while others said it worked too good.  So I decided to go forward with them but to use caution in how many I took at one time.  I
  The bottle says there are 60 supplements and on the bottom of the bottle it says that there is a one month supply, so I deducted that you were only supposed to take 1 supplement with two different meals to equal 2 supplements a day for 30 days, which would bring you to 60.  I started with that number instead of the suggested 2-3 per meal as stated on the bottle under suggested use, I am very glad that I did.
  Here is the key, each person's digestive system is different and therefore will differ from person to person. You need to know yourself. For example, I am older and have a slower metabolism and digestive system. I normally need to take fiber pills or colon cleansing pills so I am not constipated.  I started with one pill and no extra fiber or colon pills about 20 minutes before my very first meal with these pills.  About 15 minutes after I ate I went to the bathroom and then had a normal, soft stool bowel movement.
  For a person that doesn't have constipation issues, you may only need one a day. You want to proceed forward slowly to find out if you need to take more or not. One reviewer took the recommended 2 with her first meal and ended up with issues for two plus days. I would also recommend first trying this on a day when you are not working to see how it affects you.
  I really like the way these pills are working. The came in date, there was a plastic seal around the lid as well as the tamper free seal under the cap.  The supplements were fresh and not sticking together.


I have a few white noise machines of various types including mechanical and recorded. This is one of the better ones in several ways. First, I didn't notice any looping in the sounds, though I can't say that I listened carefully after falling asleep. It also has the widest variety of noises among all of the machines that I have had experiences with. I liked that it has buttons for each type of sound so I didn't have to cycle through too many options to get to the one I wanted. The animal sounds are soothing in particular, but I was a big fan of the types of white noise and the fan noise for aiding in falling asleep.

The light on this is pretty versatile. The first white light is very faint and works well as a night light without being too bright. The second one is more of an actual light then the rest are just atmospheric for color effects. One of the most impressive points is the volume. One of my white noise machines which uses recorded sound is pretty good, but it can't be made especially loud. That means it's hard to drown out louder noises with it. This gets super loud and I was happy with the range of volume options.

The only minor quibble I have with this is that the power cord connects to USB. I don't have a USB connector in my bedroom so I had to use my own adapter as this did not come with one. This is a small thing, but worth keeping in mind if you don't have a lot of spare adapters lying around or a USB connector on your power strip or wall.


I decided to switch to this powder because I had a precavity at the dentist’s office. My husband thought I was crazy. I figured it couldn’t hurt. After one year I went back to the dentist and had the x-ray performed again. The precavity was completely gone. My teeth looked perfectly healthy and full. I wish I had the pictures of the x-rays to post for proof.

Subsequently my husband went to the dentist and was told he needed to treat 5 cavities. Furious he went to another dentist who told him he has to treat 7! My husband switched to this powder. I don’t remember exactly when his next dental appointment was (due to the pandemic) but he ended up within 2 years with every cavity completely reversed.

We also began following Weston Price’s diet recommendations (grass fed butter + cod liver oil) to promote tooth remineralization. If everybody knew about this stuff, the dental profession would practically go out of business.

One final point: some prior have expressed concern about heavy metal poisoning due to the lead in bentonite clay. The manufacturer has a response on their website. It’s important to realize that Bentonite clay is used to remove toxic metals; the lead does not leave the clay to enter the system. I continued to use this powder during pregnancy; our baby had the routine required lead testing and tested totally normal. I have read a report from one other parent whose child used Redmond products to clean their teeth and the child also did not have elevated lead. We don’t use it for our children because they are prone to swallowing, but I consider the concerns about lead to be safely settled.


i have this light, though i didn;t get from amazon
Tiny 18650 IV
i like it
first the cons: i got the supposedly neutral white color, it is VERY orange/pink, i was not expecting that
the user interface is weird, but it;s better than the first 2 versions which used a buggy twist head, which was also not waterproof
i can;t really explain the UI
some things are good, some just quirky
the color is sort of a tan, i was expecting gray or black

stuff i like:
the button for a switch
the clip is very strong and springy
the size is just very very small, one thing making this possible is a plexiglass TII [total internal reflection] optic
it is not a mirror, it is very short in length
i like that there is only one removeable part, the battery cap
i like that the battery does not rattle
i think various sizes of 18650 would go in just fine
i like the glow o-ring inside the head
the knurling and overall workmanship is very good

the turbo mode turns itself off after 1 minute, it goes back to the previous mode
i think this is because in such a small light, the heat sinking isn;t great

i kind of wish it looked simpler, more elegant
there are 15 different 'regions' of thickness, knurling, ridges, shiny parts, etc

you can reverse the clip but i like it the way it is shown in the amazon pic
you can use the clip to feel where the button is
which matters getting the thing out of your pocket

i adore these virtue code masks. they are so pretty and feel so nice. that said, i only wear this brand mask in "safe" places like with my friend after she and i each self isolate for two weeks so we can then safely visit since we live in separate cities, or if i'm going to get drive up orders, and now outdoors since the national usa no mask outdoors for fully vaccinated people has been enacted.

to be honest these maske are normally nice feeling lightweight fabric. one layer! don't be fooled by the 3 layers listed. the second two layers are very open weave apparently inferior grade. they provide no protection whatsoever. however they do have a filter pocket and i always wear them with a filter. ALWAYS!  otherwise you might as well not wear a mask at all.

i have both the virtue code pleated and this style mask in fabric. the pleated ones are one lightweight layer with a very similar weight filter pocket and come with one filter. so order a package of filters also. the little flat ones. i have none of their neoprine masks. i have a smallish face. the earloops make it adjustable so it fits nicely. i just feel good and happy wearing these masks. thanks to virtue code for making pretty masks at a sensible price but please please use two true layers at least in the masks then the filter pockets.

my friend and i ( her mostly) made over a thousand quilting fabric 2 layer masks, some with filters and some with the heavy filters sold at better fabric stores. those are all my workhorse masks. but if i just want to smile while choosing my daily masks, i always smile when i see the virtue code ones.


I bought this gel to make my too-loose gold wedding band fit. I followed the directions several times, but the dried gel fell off after no more than a day or two every time. Finally, on about my tenth attempt, I got it to stick. I have had it on for about two weeks now, and it is on solid! I can wash my hands and shower with my ring on, and the gel stays put. Plus, it is discreet and so comfortable that I don't really notice it. I would have given the gel a lower rating because it was so difficult to get right, but now that I got it right, it works so well that I consider it a four-star product.

To make it stick, you have to put a thick glob of gel in one location. Smooth it out on top of the glob, but keep it thick. If it is thin around the edges of the glob, those edges will peel off, and the whole glob will come off. Instead of thinning out the ends of the glob, the ends should be little "cliffs" that go down to the inside of the ring. (Do not coat the entire inside of the ring with the gel! It will start to come off the first time you put the ring on! Use a single glob instead.) Allow at least 24 hours for it to dry. When you put your ring on, be careful not to put too much pressure on the gel as you slide the ring over your knuckle.

I recommend this product to anyone who has a men's wedding band or similar ring that is too large. It works if you're patient!


I decided to buy this cleaner because I have tried in vain a ton of other cleaning products to help with the smell of cat urine.  We have one carpeted room in our house where my 12 year old cat likes to pee sometimes if we do not clean his litter box right away.  He is a picky little butt head.  There always seems to be lingering smell and of course the carpet is light blue so it is super hard to get the stain out.  When using this I was obviously a bit skeptical.  A downside is there is not ingredient list on the bottle which would be nice to know what kind of chemical I am spraying in my house.  There is not really a strong smell to the spray which is nice because with other cleaners if it doesn't smell like cat pee, then it smells like I'm bathing in Lysol.  First the stain color itself, it did seem to fade an older stain that was on my carpet using a good soaking of this.  Also, I made sure to rub firmly to make sure it got down to the bottom of the carpet.  The smell has been reduced on an old and new stain, and in my experience seems to do better at this than other products.  I still however notice a faint smell.  Perhaps I need to use more of this.  Also, I'm not sure it could remove the smell forever unless you really soak it into the carpet padding.  For the price you pay, it does seem to me like this works a bit better than other cleaners, however, I'm not sure it will really eliminate the odor completely without using a whole bottle, tearing up my carpet, or getting rid of my cat.  I'm not planning to do  any of those three.


I bought this product on the recommendation of my coworkers.  This summer has been ridiculous with the rain and overabundance of mosquitoes.  Every time I go outside at work or to exercise I end up getting eaten up.  For whatever reason, I just must really smell good to mosquitoes! I got to the point where I was afraid to leave the house because the bites were becoming more numerous and the itching was severe.  I initially purchased an "Off" brand product, containing DEET, which works really well- but boy does it stink!  I did not like smelling like that all day and was desperate to find something else.  I gave the Avon product a try and am very pleased with the results.  This smells more like sunscreen and is not strong in the least.  As long as I put it on, it has protected me from the mosquitoes and my number of bites has drastically decreased.  Since it is a lotion, it is much easier to apply to specific areas such as arms or neck without getting it everywhere- and you are not inhaling half of it like with the spray on products.  Really, the only downside is that you seem to have to apply this more frequently than the DEET containing products.  About every 4 hours if you are going to be outside in mosquito rich areas.  I believe the directions say about every 2 hours, but I found you can go to 4 as long as you are not swimming or getting wet.<br />  Highly recommend for anyone that seems to be a delightful dish to a mosquito.  The sunscreen is just a bonus.  It is easy to use and once it dries you don't feel oily or greasy.  Thank you Avon!


I am not one to write reviews on Amazon for any any of the products I buy on here but I feel that this product deserves a good review. I gave it 4 stars only because it didn't come with instructions but after watching a YouTube video, I was able to use it with no problem. Each person is different but this is what worked for me:

I used the size medium pink curlers instead of the rods. I have short straight Asian eyelashes that even after using a curler or whatever to curl my lashes, they are as straight as a stick again. I felt the large wasn't going to do anything and that the smalls were going to curl my lashes over each other's so I used the medium and they were a perfect fit! I did cut it to fit my eyes as I tried to use them as is and even after glueing them on my lids, the bottom piece would still stick out over my lashes. After cutting them to fit, I was able to eliminate that problem.  Make sure when glueing your lashes that you keep each lashes as separately as possible since how you glue them on will be what they look like once permed. For
Solution A and B, I left both on for 20 mins. Then clean with solution C. Solution D I left on for 6 minutes. Once done with solution D, I used solution C to help clean off the glue I had on my lids and lashes using Q tips. Do not use water!!!

I do wish that there was more of Solution C instead of just two small bottles of them but other than that, I'm pretty please with the results. The picture is without mascara or anything else on but you can definitely see the curls 😍


I was torn between these and [[ASIN:B019M576XW Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs]], but leaning towards Downbeats because they were half the price, and they seemed like they would be less noticeable in my ear. Thanks to a sale I got both these and Eargasms and decided to test them.

Basically, Downbeats muffled sound more than Eargasm earplugs did, but at loud volumes (like a concert) the muffle isn't that noticeable. Since I need earplugs that are clear at more normal volumes too (like a college lecture, background conversations in a large room), these muffled a bit too much to be helpful. It still wasn't a wasted purchase as I discovered these earplugs help with lessening noise when I need to fall asleep without muting too much (I still need to hear alarms, but I'm a very light sleeper), and the small size makes them comfortable for side sleeping.

I didn't have a problem with removal like some other reviews said as I couldn't stick the earplugs far enough into my ear for it to be an issue.

The picture is a size comparison of downbeats and the Eargasm high Fidelity earplugs (order is: Regular Eargasm plugs on the left, Downbeats in center, and smaller Eargasms on the right). The regular size Eargasm's middle flange is 1.5cm wide, and the Downbeat's smaller flange and the middle flange on the small Eargasm plug are both 1.3cm wide.


I've been a fan of Shatter for several years now. I tried SX-7 Neuro after about a year and a half of no use, and again I am pleased.

You know how you get mentally tired from a workout at a certain point? This stuff curtails or eliminates that. I was 40 minutes into a pretty strenuous workout this morning and I didn't feel like I wanted to stop. I felt like I could just keep going - there was no mental breakdown or resistance to doing more exercise.

I took this supplement about a year and a half ago and noticed the same sort of effect. I thought it was just a one-off, but it seems to be an effect of the powder. Pretty neat if you want a long workout without mental nagging.

Pros:

* As mentioned above, it seems to eliminate the "I want to stop working out now". It just gives more mental endurance
* Gives you more focus and sustained energy - leads to more lifts
* Lifts your mood somewhat, although the Shatter original formula seems to do this a lot more for me. That stuff is a big mood enhancer - you feel incredible!
* Doesn't taste bad
* Generous servings for the price (60)

Cons:

* Not much to complain about. This isn't really a con, but some people might not like it - there is a medium-strength niacin flush you get from ingesting it, especially on an empty stomach. It's like a warm, tingly, flushing feeling. Again, it doesn't bother me at all, but some folks may shy away from that.

Otherwise, this is really great stuff - a very potent addition to pre-workout regimens.

Other things:

If you want the most potent experience, I suggest taking it early in the morning on an empty stomach. Go workout about 15-20 minutes later. You'll feel the effects nicely.


I liked this enough to buy another, 6 months after I bought the first one. (Apologies if a partial review got posted before this one, my computer crashed while I was writing it.) The individual day slots are big enough to hold a lot of pills, or a couple of big ones (I'm looking at *you*, fish oil). If you're going away for the weekend, you can take out just a few days and toss them in your bag.

A couple of things could be better:
1. Would be nice to have the name of the day printed on the other side of the box. I could memorize which color goes with which day, but somehow I haven't gotten around to that yet.
2. The ink has worn away on a couple of them. I don't know if it's because I got oil on the cases, or what. I've included a couple pictures.
3. The surface of the plastic on the individual day containers is very slick & slippery. When carrying one or a couple of the day boxes on top of a stack of papers or a box or some other thing I'm moving from one place to another, more times than I'd like the pill case just slides right off and lands on the floor. Usually no pills spilled, but it's annoying. Maybe I should take some sandpaper to the boxes. But less slippery would be good.

I note that this item is "currently unavailable". Because of how useful they are for someone who takes a lot of pills (or some big ones), I hope it returns, with or without improvements.


The product came fast and was as expected. There are 3 pair that comes in the pack. They fit very well and were comfortable to wear. The product does not come with instructions inside the box nor does the box itself have instructions on it on how to properly put them on making sure they are in the right place under your foot.  I do like them as they helped me discover why I was having foot pain in the metatarsal area. I believe I have been shifting my body weight forward leaving less pressure on the heel of the foot. These help me to realize that I need to shift my weight to keep pressure off the front of my feet. I do not wear them long and have not tried them on with shoes. I have only worn them while barefoot around the house on hardwood floor. they are comfortable yet I do feel pressure under the metatarsal area it does not make it hurt worse in the front of my foot but I can feel the pressure on the heels of my feet which make them tired if I am standing for a long time such as cooking and washing/cleaning the kitchen. Since wearing them they has been some improvement with the pain under the metatarsal area. I can also now feel where the pain starts from and travels down to the  front of my feet. It is more my left foot than my right. Although I have only worn them part time they definitely helped me with my standing posture as far as shifting my weight in the right direction. I moved them in different locations under my foot trying to be sure they are in the right spot based on internet searches that provided visual illustrations. It would be helpful if the packaging came with instructions on how to properly placed them on your feet. However the product fit well and they did not roll up or become out of place while wearing them. I have had the foot pads for less then 30 days


At first I wrote a negative 1-star review because I simply could not get this thing assembled. I am a petite woman (5'1", 120 lbs) and have small and somewhat weak hands from carpal tunnel surgery years ago. This thing takes a LOT of hand and upper body strength to bend the fairly rigid plastic into the slot it needs to lock into. (I even briefly considered putting it in the oven on a low temp to soften it, but quickly realized that that might ruin the back stretcher and/or my oven, and potentially end in disaster!) Instead, I kept working on it each day a little at a time, trying different approaches and bending it as far as I could by kneeling on it, pulling the ends upward and holding for as long as I could (usually about 30 seconds). After about a week, this actually made it pliable enough that I could FINALLY get it locked into place on the first level.

I was then able to use it for the first time and I must admit -- it really did help my back! I felt much better after only about 5 minutes the first time I used it. However, the raised bumps along the edge of the slot where your spine fits were somewhat uncomfortable. I really don't understand why those bumps are there -- the thing would work just as well without them and would be way more comfortable.

So now I'm glad I didn't return it as I was thinking about doing when I first got it and couldn't put it together. But because of how difficult it is to assemble (probably not too difficult for people with larger hands and better grip strength) and because of the uncomfortable raised bumps, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.


[[VIDEOID:2d4a267b18fcff6219c0df9e24562b80]] So at first I had no luck getting this thing to do much of anything with my eyelashes. It would warm up, and it didn't feel bad on my eyes (heat wise), however I wasn't getting any curl action; I even tried after applying mascara while it was a bit wet to see if that would help with the shaping and still nothing. Then I read the instructions (lol) and realized there was a higher heat setting and that fixed the problem. My stubborn lashes need more heat and thankfully the high setting on this was enough to get them to behave.

I was a bit nervous about having a heating tool on my lash line but there actually was never a point where it felt like I was going to burn myself and I know I was right at the lid at many points while testing this. I love that this is USB C chargeable, no specialty or outdated charging cables needed. It also will auto shut off after about 5 minutes so you can rest easy if you forget it on.

The ad does say this device has 4 heat settings which is inaccurate, it only has 2 (high=blue, low=green) - not sure if that's a misprint or an older model. The only real negative I can give the curlers is that the silicone/rubber bumper is not changeable so if it gets to where you feel you need to change it out you'll have to buy a whole new curler. All in all though I would recommend.


Now that I'm 88 and have been taking VIAGRA, testosterone, and ground tiger penis for years to enhance my jaded failed sense of my libido (with which myself is intimately bound up...having no definition or self understanding beyond my sexual prowess) I finally came to need this product, as the river of piss which my John-Thomas spews forth, like a giant fire hose, was far too much for an adult diaper to contain.

Hence: the penis clamp. A small device which seals off that which God gave me and fulfills as prophecy most profound that most memorable line from "The Graduate": ....plastics."

Yes, in my entire life of striking against nature to satisfy my disengagement into a skewed worldview of the mind-body problem I took every erectile panacea under the sun. Like an aged Mao coupling with peasant girl after peasant girl well into my 80s I fled from reason and nature and took Rhino horn, ground Tiger nuts, Monkey spleen, VIAGRA, cunnilingus lessons (expensive!) and snake whisky to emerge as only this jaded shell that has no hermeneutic structure to interpret value in life beyond that of an adolescent 13 year-old boy: that "sex" is everything. And by "sex" we mean self-centered masturbation where women are objects and our own solipsistic fulfillment is the sole arbiter of our transvaluation of all values.

Really cuts of your urine flow hard. If I never wanted to pee my pants again, this would be the product I'd use....but now that I'm old and disgusting according to zeitgeist...a good pee is about as thrilling as my sex life gets.


What convinced me that squatting is the way to go was seeing the toilets in India. They are ceramic and have a flushing system, just like ours, but that's where the similarity ends. They have purpose-made places for your feet astride an opening over which you squat. The first time I used one of these it just felt right. If you've ever back-packed deep into the woods you'll know what I'm talking about!
Some reviewers said they had difficulty with their clothing. I can't imagine what the problem could be. You sit on the toilet as you normally would with your garments at your lower legs, then you slide the Squatty Potty forward a few inches and one by one lift your feet up on to it. Couldn't be simpler. Please do not attempt to stand on the unit before sitting down - this could cause it topple over causing injury. Read the instructions!
While enjoying my new-found toilet experience I noticed my toenails needed clipping. Lo and behold - I was in the perfect position! After cleaning up I got right back on again with clippers in hand and went to work. Voila! Beats standing on one leg with the other up on the counter!
I ordered two of the bamboo units and one arrived with a cross bracket that was 1/8" too long. Being handy I quickly rectified the situation by sawing off the excess. I filled out their customer contact form on their website  to explain what happened and received a prompt and apologetic reply from Wendy Saipale and a note that they would be sending me an Ecco Squatty Potty and a bottle of Turdle-Loo for my troubles. Now that's good customer service!


I ran across this vinegar and herb preparation on an online health forum specifically about acid reflux.  I had been looking for an alternative to prescription and over-the-counter drugs prescribed for acid reflux, which produced terrible, long-lasting side effects.  I had a bleeding esophagus but no Barrett's Syndrome (yet) and have had acid reflux for a minimum of the last 7 years.  I had tried plain unfiltered apple cider vinegar before for the reflux with little good effect.  With little to lose, I ordered Yoder's Good Health and tried 1 oz per day, which is what the forum participant was taking.  I just chugged it, not wanting to dilute any benefits by diluting it in juice or water.  After about a month, I noticed my acid reflux was significantly reduced, more than 50% but not 100%.  So I added another natural item a different forum participant wrote he was using: MegaZyme (pancreatic enzymes).  I'm taking 1 4xday and sometimes 1 3xday along with 1 oz/day of Yoder's Good Health.  After only 2 months of this--and only this--regimen, (knock on wood) I have no acid reflux.  Those of you with acid reflux understand what a powerful, almost unbelievable statement that is.  Everyone's different, so these products or this regimen may not work for you. Do your own research, but my conclusion was that a natural product like Yoder's could do me no harm, only good.


Favorite shoes! I bought one pair several months ago and just bought another pair. They fit wonderfully. I'm a size 9 normally and these size 9's fit perfectly. I have somewhat wide feet but don't have to order shoes wide, for the most part. I don't wear them with socks and they don't rub anywhere. They're surprisingly soft. I need arch support or my feet ache and these give me just enough support.  The don't slip at the heal and the little laces give it just the perfect fit. The laces wrap all the way around the shoe, so when you pull them tight, you can really feel they fit snug or loosen them if you have wider feet. The fabric is so soft. Just like any pair of shoes you were without socks, the bacteria from your sweaty feet will make your feet and shoes smell. So I've washed them 3 times in my washer with bleach, detergent and oxy-clean. I then let them air dry. Not only do they not stink after that but they fit just the same if not a little better. I bought a white pair the first time and the gold/white pair the second time, so I used regular bleach but you can use color-safe bleach if you bought shoes with color. I love these shoes. I wear them with my work clothes and casual clothes. They go with everything and look so cute. I get compliments on them all the time. I'll be sad when the snow comes and I can't wear them until spring again. :-)


These large Herbal Essentuality handmade bath bombs are different than others I have tried because of their unique fragrances!  They come marked: relaxing, balancing, uplifting, calming, energizing and clarifying but the scents are as follows: blue iris & coconut, peaches & cream, vanilla & cherry blossom, lavender & rosemary, mango & kiwi and blueberry & pomegranate. They are packaged individually wrapped and labeled and in a box that is perfect for gifting. You could also separate them and put some in gift bags and keep a few for yourself. They all smell great held up to your nose and I cannot wait to try them all! I ran a bath in my large soaking tub, and dropped the bath bomb into it. It fizzes up until the bomb completely dissolves in your bathwater. It doesn't cause a great deal of coloring in your water, so you don't have to worry about your towels or your skin getting discolored. After my bath, I drained the tub and there was no residue on the tub. Sometimes you have a greasy buildup, but these left nothing at all. I have terribly dry skin and eczema, and these bath bombs did not cause me any irritation or rashes on my skin whatsoever. In fact, my skin felt very soft, supple and moisturized after I used it. The bath bombs contain shea butter, vitamin E and coconut essential oils so they leave your skin blanket in moisture. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.


Review Viva Labs Glucosamine, Chondroitin MSM

We’ve been having a lot of rain and up and down weather here and I, with my ragged joints and aging bones and muscles - - have been stumbling awkwardly about like a half-oiled semi-rusted robot.  I hurt so bad I whine when I try to move.  Viva Labs sent me a sample to try and these arrived just in time; I could not get them into my mouth fast enough.  Because I have a lot of allergies, I often start anything new at half-dose.  (And these are free of dairy, soy and gluten as well as other allergens!)  I noticed a bit later that I was moving easier and yet was still a bit stiff, so I figured if half worked so well then I needed to get the full dose.  So, the next day I upped them to the full dose.
By days four and five – I am moving about like I used to when I was 40.  Gone pain is forgotten pain, I guess, as I did forget for a time that I was not in pain.  It suddenly dawned on me as I rose from my chair and did so with relative ease.  Then I suddenly remembered that I was no longer in pain - - and why!  I have finally found something that works better than anything I have tried before!  Viva Labs Glucosamine, Chondroitin MSM has now become a daily essential in my life.
WOW!!!  This is WONDERFUL.  I can move, even when it rains!
And
BTW - - Having tried several of their products, I am a HUGE fan of Viva Labs .  Check out what else they have!


Upon wearing it, there was a noticable difference in sitting upright. Good quality straps that don't seem like it will loosen soon, and the back part is a rubber/semi-matte-plastic material that pushes your muscles up. Out of the box, there was a slight smell that probably can be rid off by tossing it in the good ol washer.

From an anatomy perspective, the reason why we have the desk slouch, or "potato chip" slouch is due to overdeveloped lats, and underdeveloped rhomboids. If you sit up straight, and feel the back of shoulder blades connect to each other, that part of the muscle is usually the weak muscle developed from being a desk warrior. (Imagine if that muscle was really strong, you couldn't even slouch if you wanted to)

This helps in that it pushes and engages some part of this muscle, but I also suspect that I can only work with a good exercise routine that trains that specific part. The shoulder strap keeps you upright, engaging that lazy muscle that we grow accustomed to relaxing, but we would also need to give it some gym time such that overtime it becomes strong on its on. Personally, I also think this should be eased-in when wearing, such that you don't develop aches or muscle injury from something too drastic.

Search up "How To Fix Rounded Shoulders FAST (10 Minute Science-Based Corrective Routine)" on YouTube, there's more details in there that can perhaps complement this device well.

I didn't realize just how amazing baetea was until I tried buying non-baetea loose leaf tea. The same tea routine would yield the lamest cup of tea. I first tried some that I got from target, of course, I should have known better, but while I used to fill up less than half of my tea infuser and use it for two consecutive large cups of tea, I found myself filling the tea infuser up to the max and seeping forever to get a tea with even close to enough flavor. Then I got some from a local restaurant in Minnesota for Christmas and had the same experience. Baetea clearly uses superior and stronger components that yield an obvious difference. I did buy some tea at a fancy and expensive tea store, and the tea was crazy expensive and targeted at the tastebuds rather than at the benefits, and this tea tasted a bit better and was equally as strong. So I offer that expensive tea to my guests and drink keep the brilliant of baetea for myself. Did the complexion tea make a difference for my complexion... it is so hard to say. I didn't drink the tea quite as frequently as instructed, and have a decent, but aging complexion... did my skin look healthier and like it was glowing a bit more, of course, but I'm a sucker for a placebo and can't promise with confidence that it was the tea that made a difference. I can promise, that a company that is willing to include the quality tea ingredients of this tea is a company I trust. So overall I think if you're looking for a tea to help with your complexion, baetea is the way to go.

I received this product at a discount for my unbiased review and am happy I can sincerely recommend it to all of you. Enjoy!


Do you suffer from any of these liver-related symptoms?
 - Persistent fatigue?
 - Long term prescription drug use?
 - Pain between your shoulder blades
 - Chemical sensitivity (perfume, tobacco smoke, cleaning agents etc.)?
 - Chemical or environmental allergies?
 - Elevated cholesterol, Low blood pressure, pale skin, or jaundice?
 - Easily hung over?
 - Bitter taste in mouth, particularly after meals?
 - Become sick from wine or easily intoxicated?
 - Have hemorrhoids or varicose veins?
 - Pain under the right side of rib cage?
 - Do you consume a lot of natural sweeteners (aspartame)?

Any of these symptoms suggest that you have a liver toxicity problem.

 If you answered yes to any of the above, then you need to start your Liver Detox and Cleanse now! It can take 60 to 90 days for your liver to get back in to balance. We suggest ordering 2-3 bottles so you don't run out.

Why Buy NusaPure Liver Detox & Support over the competition?
 - All natural ingredients, made in the USA and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified facility
 - Made with powerful herbal ingredients: Milk Thistle, Zinc, Selenium, Zinc, Turmeric, and more in our own proprietary Liver Cleanse and Detox Blend
 - No added fillers, binders or artificial ingredients
 - Powerful formula with guaranteed results

Everyone does something that is bad for their liver.  I recommend that any healthy person take these.  Your liver needs to detox to give it a clean start.  If you drink or do tobacco products this is especially important.  I take these to help my body digest protein better.  When you take high amounts of protein your body might not absorb as much as you think.  If you do take protein it is a good idea to take these.
I received this product for free or at a discounted rate for my honest opinion and review.


The Koo-Care Massager is the best massager i have ever purchased.  It feels close to real hands doing a kneading massage.
Here is what I love about this massager:
 • Excellent build quality - really nice leather.  I have been using the massager for about 3 months now (since May 2017) and no signs of it breaking or any wear and tear of the materials.
 • The heating does not get hot; just a little warm and that is ok for me.  I don't really use the heat function I use a heat pad for that.
 • The massage heads are strong.  The massager will stop if you put too much weight on it!; for example when using it on my lower back by laying on it.
 • I love that it has a battery so I can use freely without being limited by a wall plug.
 • I can take it with me in my car to get a quick massage.  Great for loosing up my back after morning traffic, during lunch time at work and before driving home after work.
 • Finally a massager I can use between going to the spa that really digs deep into my lower back muscles.
 • I use it on other parts of my body like hands, legs (feels really good on the upper legs)

 Finally, I must say that the customer service at Koo-Care is excellent (the best I have ever experienced on Amazon).  The first unit I purchased from them had a defect and they sent me another Koo-Care massager free of charge!  I highly recommend them.


[EDIT] 3 year review - This thing has been saving my butt every day from pain for almost 3 years now. I literally would not be able to sit in my chair longer than 30 minutes if it wasn't for this cushion. I've spent LONG nights working/playing games in my chair, and I haven't had a single issue with back/bottom pain.

Review upgraded to 5-stars, because this thing has paid for itself every day for the last 3 years. The fabric cover is still holding strong, and the rubber cushion underneath is every bit as comfortable as it was on day one.

Bravo, Purple. You've got an awesome product here.
----------

I just got my Ultimate seat cushion today, and have been trying it out over the last few sessions at the computer. I didn't feel comfortable doing the "egg test" so I went with a pack of cigarettes, since that was the closest thing I had readily available that was light and flimsy. The cigarette box did not get crushed, and I'm 300lbs. That was pretty remarkable in my opinion. Ok, on with the review.

I have been using a pillow as added cushion for the last few months, and I would always have aching pains in my lower back and buttocks after sitting for more than an hour. So far, this cushion has solved that problem. It feels great, and I feel like this was money well-spent.

I plan to add to this review later on, so I will save the pros and cons for then. I gave it 4/5 stars today because the cover slightly ripped at the end of the zipper (which feels really flimsy). This doesn't cause any malfunctions, but it's worth noting that it ripped when I was simply putting the cushion into the cover, as per the HUGE instruction sheet.

[To be continued]


So I bought this brace with a recommendation from my chiropractor to help with my posture, as I have thrown my alignment of my neck out of wack from how terrible my posture is. He recommended this style of brace, and after reading a ton of reviews of different products, I went with this one. It is very easy to use and after I purchased it, I received an email from the company with more directions for use and contact information  if I had questions. I was surprised and pleased with the detail to service. The brace itself is remarkably comfortable for what it is. It helps pull my shoulders back without hurting. I am still able to slouch, but I have to actually concentrate to do so. When I am wearing the brace, I naturally sit up straight. The steps are very thick and padded, which adds to the comfort. This is where my only negative remark comes into play. Although it does help with the comfort level, I'm disappointed I  how thick the padding is on TOP of the straps. I wouldn't expect the entire strap to be so thick. Based on the picture on the products page, I expected to be able to wear this under my clothes with little noticibility. That isn't possible. The entire strap is about 1.5 inches thick and very noticable under clothing. I still wear it, but I can't wear it at work, so it's only for home for me. Overall, I give it a 3.5


Progesterone is SO important to anyone going through perimenopause or menopause. One of the symptoms that I first noticed in my early 40s is that I had a very difficult time getting to sleep and staying asleep. This problem became more and more evident as months went on. Finally, I found a doctor who believed me when I said that my hormones seemed off. A test revealed that my progesterone levels were extremely low. I am fortunate that he was able to prescribe a bioidentical progesterone cream because within a couple of days of beginning to use the cream, I found myself calmer, happier and better able to fall asleep. This therapy saved my sanity during a time when my hormone levels were very "off." While many people take pharmaceutical hormones, I am only comfortable with using the bioidenticals, which are much safer according to studies. While not everyone has these issues, I'm so glad that a cream is available without prescription. My experience with progesterone is that I need more than most people, and use 100mg to 120 mg per day. Since this cream has 1,00mg per jar, the amount that works for me is about 1.5 teaspoons of cream rubbed into the skin. Many people will need less, bot I would see this as a 10-30 day supply. I wanted to test the strength of this cream, so I used it instead of my regular treatment, and I'm glad to say that it really works. I was fortunate to receive a discount coupon for this product in exchange for testing and giving my opinion of the product. I'm very impressed with this product. and really I can't review it highly enough. Thanks, Mother Nature!


This provides some relief, but no miracles. I had used the Medela velcro maternity support through my first pregnancy and into my third trimester this pregnancy. It worked better than nothing, but I was doubled over in pain from stretching abdominal ligaments and pubic and sacroiliac joint instability. My OB prescribed me this Prenatal Cradle at about 34 weeks. My insurance covered the cost, but it had to be purchased through a medical supply company. They ordered me a medium based on my pre-pregnancy weight and pants size. They didn't tell me this also comes in tall (5'10"+) sizes, which are available through the manufacturer's website. It doesn't come with any instructions, but the manufacture does have a You Tube video demonstrating how to put it on. I can comfortably wear the belt on the middle set of hooks (my belly measures 42" at the navel), though it tends to ride up in the back. I've tried wearing the belt tighter and the straps looser, but it still rides up. Because it usually sits half above my hips, this does nothing for my back pain. However, it helps noticeably with my lower abdominal pain and I can almost stand upright again while wearing this. I've worn this belt for 3 weeks now and it's starting to fall apart. I washed it on gentle in a lingere bag, per the tag, but the fabric that the belt's hook fasteners are sewn to is fraying at the top. In summary, this belt is better than the Medela support, but cheaply made.


These things are PERFECT for your house. The 1" create too much resistance on a high MERV rated filter, especially when it is getting dirty.

 These work perfect and in the end I will probably break even ($) on this 5" VS the 1" filters I was replacing every 30-45 days.

A trick I am using. I went to Lowe's and purchased a foam pre-filter that is supposed to go on a window AC unit. It is a thin gray/black foam sheet. I have it over this filter as a "Pre-Filter" to catch all the LARGE debris that would ultimately shorten the life of the 5" filter. 1x/month I take the foam filter and rinse it out and lay it back on the 5" filter. The foam is so thin it creates VERY little air resistance.

Another thing I noticed is the HVAC is quieter with these filters. When I would install 1" there was always a "whistle" as the air passes through the filter, even when it was new. With this 5" is is quiet, much less resistance.

The filter fit perfect into the 1" filter housing, no modifications needed. I did add a foam rubber, self adhesive weather strip (like this [[ASIN:B0025KUSXW Duck 1297116 Self Adhesive Weatherstrip 17 Feet]] to inside face of the 1" metal housing. This created a better seal between the filter and the surrounding housing. Making the air go THROUGH the filter, not AROUND it.


Went into this blind just to experiment to see if these types of pills work and so far so good. Took 2 pills which was a big mistake and you probably will be good just using one. Takes some time to take effect. Woke up the next morning with morning wood and I couldn't seem to get it to go away!! It was actually frustrating, but that's the point of the pills, so just beware of that. Took the time to relieve some stress and to get rid of this morning wood. After finishing it was still rock hard!! No lies I could probably manage to go 2 more rounds. It made me last longer and every round lasted longer than the last.

The cons of this in my personal experience is a terrible headache and loose stool. Not sure if it was from the pills or not, so can't be for sure, but it was the worse headache I've had in a while. The package suggest taking 1-2 pills and I will definitely be taking only 1 next time. Do be careful with these pills as having an erection for an extended period of time can be dangerous. With these pills I could hold an erection for a good 10mins or so, so probably not long enough to be dangerous. Another pro/con is instant erections which are good for the bed room, but bad in public. The effects of the pills seem to last for a few days,so do be prepared to hide your erections or avoid naughty thoughts.

Would buy again.


As a health writer and researcher on products that enhance health and extend life, I am always interested in new and unusual products. Capuacu (pronounced coo-pwah-sue), is not yet well-known in the USA. I bought some after reading about some of the impressive nutrients this fruit contains. I started by adding a tablespoon to morning smoothies. It made my drink creamy and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also gave me an energy boost throughout the day without a sudden drop off or sudden fatigue (as caffeine sometimes does). Then I added some to my face cream and found it makes skin smoother and brighter, probably because of the high flavonoid and phytonutrient-polyphenols content. I highly recommend this product. I will be buying it again very soon.

NOTE: As consumers, we must become more aware of the massive value and importance of all rain forest areas. These places are the lungs of the world, and it is likely that cures for every known human maladie can be found in the immense diversity of plants that grow wild in the Amazon, and other rain-forested places. Take time out to support groups and governments that aim to save these precious, irreplaceable natural resources. Nothing humans will EVER invent can mimic what grows on this magnificent planet Earth.
NOTE: I did not receive this product in exchange for a review. But in writing this five-star review, I am using the platform to make an important statement. Stand up, EVERYONE, for this planet, it cannot be manufactured, or re-created in cyberspace. Earth is one-of-a -kind. Please care, and vote with your wallet. Thanks & blessings to all.


After trying several different kinds (many which felt flimsy or more like netting) I found these glorious FLUSHABLE diaper liners!  Flushable, durable, and definitely not flimsy, almost like a shop towel for diapers, lol.  Some people may say they are "too rough" but my son has pretty bad eczema and these don't irritate him at all.  Best part, is even when he has a big #2, the liner holds up and saves my cloth diaper from a huge mess.  Everything flushes neatly down the toilet.  Our house was built in 1911, and we have never had any issues with flushing, backing up, or anything of the sort, but we do live in a town so we are on a city sewer system.  I have used these for almost 2 years with no issues.  Worth every penny.

*Also, we use BumGenius All-in-One and pocket diapers (not gDiapers...sorry gDiapers, but I do love your liners!)...these liners are nice and long, so when he was smaller, I folded the liners a bit in the back for extra lining, and as he got bigger they fit inside the diapers even better.  Now I still fold a little bit in the back so that after he's gone #2 theres a little more in the back to fold over the poo so I hardly have to touch anything, just wrap it up in the liner and flush!  Seriously, these are the best.  I don't normally review things, but these are too good not to review.


My girlfriend and I take a lot of supplements, and being busy working professionals, we welcomed the chance to save time in setting them out each day. This pill case is perfect for that. Since we take all our supplements once a day, the two sided design served more as a "his and hers" than night and morning, but either way, it's good to have. The compartments are large enough to fit many large capsules, as you see in the picture. The lids of them fit tight, and are a little hard to open at first, but I didn't consider that a drawback. The case seems to be of good quality material, and does not have a smell when it comes out of the packaging.

The pill cutter has a nice safety feature where it locks when not in use. This is particularly good if you have small kids, because the blade of it is very sharp, and the locking feature would prevent any accidents with fingers. When I first attempted to cut a medium sized Magnesium capsule, just to test it out, the top part of the pill cutter separated from the bottom part and flew across my kitchen. I'm not sure if it just wasn't secured tightly enough, or if it was operator error, but I put it back together (not difficult), and it successfully cut the capsule on the second try.

I was given this product at a discount in return for an honest review. In all, this bundle is a good deal, and I recommend it. Great for couples, anyone who takes supplements, or even older kids or teens who are capable of administering their own medication with some minor assistance.


I have been taking this 2 times daily for about 3 weeks now. I definitely notice that I have less of an appetite. I haven't really changed my diet but I am definitely eating less without feeling deprived. I will be ordering another bottle to see if these effects are sustainable. I have lost about 2 pounds without even trying and it does seem to be mainly in the abdominal area.  As far as increased energy, I am not really feeling that effect. I am happy with the lessened appetite. This supplement has a very earthy taste and smell. I try to swallow it quickly and the taste/smell doesn't linger. After I am done with the next bottle, I will update my review.

6/24/16 UPDATE
I am updating my review since I am almost done my second bottle. I will be ordering a third. I have not really changed my diet, in all fairness I was a pretty healthy eater anyway. My problem was that I never felt full. I was constantly eating. Even healthy food has calories so I needed a solution.
This seems to work for me. I can't believe how much it has curbed my appetite! I am down 10 pounds since starting this. I went down 2 pants sizes!
I have also finally started to feel more energetic. Losing 10 pounds has probably contributed to that.
I wish the price was a bit lower, or that you could purchase a multi-pack for a lesser price, but it is what it is.
Very happy with this product!


Update: June 7, 2015

Unfortunately I had to revise my review of this pump.  It broke after 10 days of use. The pump separated from the lid, rendering it useless.  It was only used twice a day and should have lasted a lot longer because I consider that "normal" use and not heavy duty use.  It may be fine for thin, watery lotions, but it will only last a short time for thicker creams and lotions.  I'll be looking for a replacement.

Original review: May 28, 2015
I bought this pump for use in a 19 oz size jar of CeraVe Moisturizing Cream purchased at Costco.  The Costco size is slightly larger (19 oz vs 16 oz) than what I usually find in my local stores. I was worried that this pump would be too short to reach the bottom of the jar because some reviews indicated that might be the case.

However, the pump I received was actually too long.  After a quick trim with a pair of scissors, the pump was a perfect fit.  The first few pumps (to "prime" it) were a little hard to pump.  Now it works great - but remember if you are using this with the CeraVe Cream - it is a CREAM not a lotion.  The CeraVe Cream is thicker (in a good way) and therefor the "pumping" will always need more pressure than pumping a thin lotion.

I really like this pump and will keep to use in my next jar of CeraVe Cream.
