Product review: Electric Ear Dryer for Swimmer’s Ear by Tilcare - Ear Air Dryer (video product review)

 

I like:
- Good idea: warm ear flows into the ear and dries it
- Helps with drying out the ears
- Comes with three tips, so it can be used by multiple people
- Comes with a carrying case

I do not like:
- Starts and ends with a loud beep. I need to remebmer to turn it on and turn it off when it is not near th ear.

Product review: SIDIA - The Hand Exfoliant - gritty and expensive hand soap

 

I have been using Sidia, a liquid exfoliating soap that has a gritty texture and a light orange fragrance, for several days. While I like the exfoliating effect, I found the price to be quite steep at $42 for just 9.5 oz. This seems to be much higher than what I have paid for similar products in the past.

Product review: THANKYOU FARMER Rice Pure Cream In Ampoule 1.75 fl.oz

 

This is a lightly scented extract that comes with an applicator. It might be fragrance-free, but it does have a slight scent. I prefer totally unscented products.

It is described as "cream" in the title, but it really is a serum; it is liquid.

It is absorbed well, and my skin feels moisturized. I do not see visual changes in the appearance of wrinkles, but the skin feels moisturized. I sometimes get dry spots that itch, and this rice extract significantly reduces itching.

The solution comes in a transparent glass bottle; I prefer dark glass to provide protection from light and make solutions last longer.

Product review: LE SECRET Wispy Bangs Hair Clip Air Bangs with Temples Hairpieces Clip In Bangs Real Human Hair

 The good:
1. Real human hair makes a huge difference. If the color matches, they don't look like a hairpiece
2. Because this is natural hair and was sent on a roll, they have a pleasing light curl to them. They do not hang straight down like synthetic hair
3. They clip in securely
4. The length of the bangs is good

The not-so-good:
1. This is a very thin hairpiece. A little more hair, especially on the side bangs, would have made it better.
2. The side bangs, because there are so sparse, don't look right, and I think I will trim them even with the rest of the bangs

Product review: SprinJene Natural 4-Pack Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth and Gums

 

I like
~~~~~~~
1) Has fluoride
2) Is for sensitive teeth
3) Gritty texture that feels like it cleans well
4) Excellent cap that serves as a stand to store upside down

I dislike
~~~~~~~~~
1) The taste is bitter; it is a strong mint with a bitter undertone
2) The unpleasant taste lingers
3) I must use mouthwash to get the toothpaste taste out

I am forcing myself to use it; I hope I can get used to the taste. Right now, I am still fighting a gagging reflex.

Product review: KIVERA Jojoba Oil + Vitamin E Hair Serum - Hair Growth Serum

 

This hair serum is a light oil. The instructions say it can be used on dry or wet hair. If I use too much, it makes my hair feel greasy. It comes in a small pump bottle (1.69 Oz). It has a light jojoba scent; the scent is not too intrusive.

So far, after one week of use, I do not see any difference in hair health or the number of broken hairs in the shower drain. I hope I see some improvement soon. I will update this review if improvements occur.

Product review: AIRSIDUN Neck Massagers for Neck and Back with Heat Adjustable Strap Shoulder Massager

 

 This is a massage pillow with straps. The straps help me position the rotating balls on the exact spot that hurts, and I can control the pressure of the massage by pulling or relaxing my grip on the straps. I have a painful shoulder from working on the computer, and it is particularly effective on working the shoulders and the upper back. It is more comfortable than a hammer-type massager for self-massage because I can keep my hands relaxed while holding the strap handles. This massager is almost as effective as human physical therapy. I am finding it very helpful for my bad shoulder.

Product review: Noova Massage Gun for Neck, Back Shoulder and Foot, Lateral massager, strap massager

 

The unique feature of this massage gun is the lateral belt that gives me an easy and effective way to work the upper back and shoulders, which are my paint points from working on the computer 16 hours a day. I have used other massage guns in the past, and none are as comfortable and effective as this belt with attachments that are Velcroed to it.

In addition to the belt, the package includes six other attachments:
Large ball head, small ball head, flat head, bullet head, crescent head, and U-shaped head.

What could be better:
The manual included in the package is pretty pathetic. It does not describe how to attach heads or the belt. It does not contain any instructions on how to use each head (which muscle groups, what movements). I had to research on the internet to fill the void.

However, I loved the belt attachments, and the strong rating is based on how useful I find for my achy shoulders.

Product review: Face Self Tanner Tanning Drops for Your Face & Body

 

It would be nice if this solution also included sunblock, but it does not. It needs to be applied separately. I like that the solution is unscented. I also like that I can control the darkness by the number of tanning drops I add.
However, I thought the self-tanning drops were a bit hard to use.
(1) You cannot use the drops directly; you need to mix them into included Hyaluronic Acid Serum before spreading them on your skin. I had to find a container for mixing and was unsure how much to mix.
(2) When spreading on your face and body, it is easy to miss spots, so the coverage did not come out as even and natural as I hoped.

Product review: LOVB LOVB Oat Kernel-Ferment Cream

 

LOVB cream is rich and non-greasy. I prefer unscented face creams; this cream is not unscented, it has a light scent. However, the scent does not linger, and I am okay with the fact that it has a scent. It spreads well and is absorbed quickly; it is a good moisturizer.

Product review: YIMICOO 2 Pack Wooden Bamboo Back Scratcher

 

The listing contained two identical bamboo back scratches. The backscratchers are wider than my old ones; they are 1.5" wide. Their length is 16.5" inches. I like that they have a hole with a string loop, so I can hang them while they are not used. The edges are polished, so they don't catch. They met my expectations and do the job.

Product review: ProHeal Disposable Bibs For Adults, aid for messy people

 

These bibs are great! They have a waterproof backing lining. The bibs are sized 16" x 33".  They are not attractive but very practical.

These bibs are not just for seniors and the elderly! It is for messy adults of any age! The bib covers most of the front. I got the black color, hoping I can convince my husband to wear it rather than walk around with a stained shirt after sloppy eating in a restaurant.  

I usually try to describe pluses and minuses, but in this case, I can't think of a single negative!

Product review: Care Science Antibacterial Sterile Gauze Pads

 I like these pads; they are very soft.  Each envelope contains two pads.

The texture of these pads surprised me.  When I saw the word "Gauze," I thought it would be your typical weaved pad, but these are not weaved; they are fused and look more like paper than fabric.  Even though they are not exactly what I expected, I like their softness, and they work well for cleaning minor wounds and even ears.

When each pad is unfolded, they measure 5.5" by 3.5".  The Amazon description describes them as 2" by 2"; this measurement is taken with the pad folded 6 times.

Product review: WTTORDE Silicone Curling Hair Sponge - Tool for curly hair

 

The brush comes with no instructions in the package; however, the Amazon description has instructions. It would have been better if the package included the same information as the Amazon description in a flyer.

The brush has two sides. One side has holes, and the other side has spikes. I like using the spikey side.
Works well on naturally curly hair. The plastic clamshell makes the brush stiff and easy to hold. Moving the brush while pressing firmly in a circular motion on wet hair brings out the curls.

Product review: Evan Alexander Grooming MY Shampoo Strong Mint Scent

 

My Shampoo from Evan Alexander has a strong mint scent. It is not a pleasant scent if you dislike mint, as I do, but my husband thinks it is okay. He massages shampoo into the scalp and the hair and waits about three minutes, so it has time to work. So far, we do not see any less hair in the drain, but as the product description states, it takes three months to see improvement. So far, the grade is "incomplete," 3-star. I will update this review if the improvement is noticed.

Purchased January 2023, Expires October 2023.

Product review: HydroNova by Dr. Vonda Triple-Action Lifting Cream - burns my skin

 

Rich and creamy cream. I like that it is unscented. It feels nice when I put it on, and in about an hour, it began to take effect and burn. Only the areas that I applied the cream felt that way. The burning sensation went away overnight, but the areas where I applied the cream were still slightly red in the morning. Is it supposed to burn?  

The instructions say to limit use to 2-3 times weekly, every other night or less, depending on how you tolerate it. Even though it did not explicitly mention the burning sensation, the "tolerate" reference makes me think it is an expected symptom.

Bought in January 2023, expired September 2024.

Product review: EpoBob 3 Pack Adult Bibs with Crumb Catcher

 

These bibs are great! They have a waterproof lining (solid blue color in photos), snaps to hold it around the neck (two options: wide and narrow), and snaps to create a crumb catcher. The waterproofing is excellent; in my video, you see me pouring a small cup of water into the bib fold - and it does not drip a single drop.

I like how the bib fold is designed; you snap to the back. This forms a solid corner; nothing falls out of it. The snaps are not tight. I found them easy to snap and unsnap.

These bibs are not just for seniors and the elderly! It is for messy adults of any age! We've got a couple of those in the family. The bib covers most of the front and optionally folds up to form a pocket that catches whatever falls down. The material is easy to wash. I usually try to describe pluses and minuses, but in this case, I can't think of a single negative!

Product review: CRUVHEAL Plantar Fasciitis Strong Arch Support Insoles Inserts

 

I ordered size small (Women 7.5-9.5). My shoe size is 7.5, and the insole required some trimming. The back of the sole has lines that make trimming easy. I find the insoles comfortable, and I like the extra soft cushion in the heel area. These supports work best in shoes with laces, as these insoles raise my foot pretty significantly and shoes without laces feel too tight. The insoles had a slight chemical scent out of the box, but the scent aired out in a few days.

Product review: Acedada Portable Daily Pill Box Organizer

 

This is a 4 compartment pill box. When I purchased this pill box, the Amazon description incorrectly stated how many pills could fit into each compartment. I see that the description has been corrected to remove the exact pill count. Each compartment can hold 6 (six) Omega3 soft gels. It can also hold 6 (six) large Calcium pills. I take two Calcium pills, two Omega-3 gels daily, and two other medications of smaller size. This means this box can hold enough medicine for three days.

I like that the pill box closes nicely with a satisfying click. I do not like that the box has the label "Mini Candy," as it may attract kids to ingest the pills. I hope this label is removed in the future.
