Not really, It's more like a shammy towel used for drying cars but works great for a camp towel.

I really like the towel but I don't think that this would be your best option. If in a jam, I think it would work.
252494
I usually take both. The towel is more absorbent than a bandana. I prefer the bandana for other tasks however, such as cooking for its smaller size

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.

Maybe. Depends on what you are trying to soak/ wipe up. Sweat, tears, other non viscous liquids? Prob will work well for that. Nose fluid and other viscous liquids? Prob not so much

It would probably get gross pretty fast with mucus. For sweat they're great and if you're by a clean water source you can soak and wring out and have dry in the morning. For reusable kleenex I've always used the old red paisley bandanas just like my grandfather always had. White Paisley Bandanna

I don't really think so. Its much thicker than a normal handkerchief and not as soft. Its a great product, just probably not for this purpose

For backpacking: This would be great to tie to your shoulder strap to wipe sweat away. For everyday carry you probably would not want something this bulky in your pocket. I bought the xl to use for a towel and I always feel damp afterwards.

Hi! That's what I thought too, but apparently the tight weave of the fabric makes it impossible for the dust mites to get through. It must work because we've used other covers where myself and my daughter would wake up sneezing and stuffy, but with this cover we are waking up feeling much better. I do wash them every time I wash my sheets which probably helps. (As an aside, do you know that most pillows can be washed regularly in hot water to kill dust mites? I recently found this out and my pillows are now squeaky clean and still fluffy!) I liked this product because of the good warranty, as previous covers fell apart after washing several times but now I feel like I can fall back on the warranty if necessary. Anyhow, here is some info that I found online that explains the company's answer to your question. Hope this is helpful! Cheers! :) Allersoft is the most popular allergy-proof fabric we carry because it is 100% pure cotton and lab-tested to block allergens and dust mites. It's an amazing fabric that is made in the USA with a patented, special super-tight weave. Don't confuse thread count with allergy protection. 100% pure cotton for the ultimate in comfort without sacrificing efficacy. No added chemicals or harsh treatments. With a mean flow pore size diameter of 4.91 microns, this fabric is one of the most effective barriers against pet dander, dust mites, bed bugs and other harmful allergens.

For myself I would take an extra to be on the safe side. (And to be honest, I always overpack.) You don't need a lot of product to cleanse. I think I use more than usual because I remove my waterproof mascara with it. (Works GREAT for that, btw.) If you don't wear a lot of makeup, one bottle should be fine.

Had I bought Sinus Buster, I could tell u what the diff is in that & Allergy Buster. I bought Nasal Allergy relief. Don't buy the latter, its a waste of $$$

It has been good to not have to wrestle with the hose -- such an easy solution and in expensive too. I have heard of a pillow that allows you to have room for your mask that helps, they are more expensive and I've not purchased. I did switch from a mask to a nasal pillow and that is much better and a lot less confining. Bless you and I hope this will be a great benefit to you.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Looking at this product, there is not an actual mask that goes over your nose. You can put your face close to the product but it shouldn't actually cover your nose area. The steam could possibly burn you. I personally, have not had any feedback about the other unit you were wondering about. I hope this answers your question.

Definitely try it. You will be pleasantly surprised how well it opens those nasal passages. Some nights I think I may be able to get thru the night without one, but at 1 o'clock in the morning & I'm having trouble getting to sleep, I get out of bed and put one on so I can breathe easier and fall a sleep. I have been using them for two years now. The EXTRA width band works best for me, but I also have more difficulty in removing it because it adheres so well. Needs lots of water soaking for removal. Wish I could keep it on for more than 12 hrs at a time, it works so well. Side benefit for me was I cancelled a nose operation for perceived nasal blockage, because those wide strips worked so well.

It's not a silly question: I was considering using this instead of another product marketed explicitly for application to feet (yours, your dog's your horse's), since Sno-Seal is a bit less expensive... but have decided to go with the other product which is labeled non-toxic/food-grade: check out Musher's Secret, here on Amazon. And yes, Musher's Secret is great for human hands and feet or even skin and hair in extreme environments, for protection from prolonged exposure to water, snow and ice or to soothe and protect rough or chapped skin, in my experience. (P.S., I've also used Musher's Secret on my leather shoes, boots, belts, etc., to recondition and seal, quite successfully.)

I use it on my nose, and it doesn't have lasting effects. And it doesn't work that good on your entire face. But that could just be me!

A long time, I would think, but I must admit I have quit using mine. It actually seemed to increase the mask leakage. I think the edges are too thick (the thickness seems rather uniform & I think it would be better if the was more tapered towards the edges). I've gone back to using band aids. I just put lotion on the bridge of my nose before applying the band aid, which allows for easier removal the next morning.

I personally like it better. I used to use a Nasaline which is like a syringe. They all have the same benefits (I used to be an ENT sales rep for a big Pharma company).

Not a very good bag for packing. Its got a large volume, its clumsy, and its heavy. I've managed to pack it, but I'd recommend a better compression sack then the one provided with it. It's very warm, and I've used it in single digits(F). Though I wouldn't recommend it for long hikes. Maybe 1-2 night trips, but anything beyond that I'd recommend something lighter, more compact, and built for backpacking. All-in-all its the same weight packed.

Could you switch out the bad for a enema bag? I like all the reviews I have read except the few about mold growing in the bag. I would like to use the old fashion enema/douche bags with it.

Hay also.....I just noticed that Amazon has them on sale right now for $13.20! The Enisyl-F Lysine ones, that is!!! And I wondered something else for you.....my Vet, a long time ago, said that I could ALSO use a mild over the counter eye drop whenever needed. Just ask your Pharmacist, they will be able to tell you which one to use!!!

Hi Laura. I'm quite sensitive to most perfumes - almost any cologne, perfume or scented product, including scented candles, makes me nauseous, triggers headaches or can even cause anxiety/rapid heartbeat. I find the scent of Nature's Miracle to be light and pleasant. It's noticeable, but not overpowering. I would compare it to baby powder, nothing very perfume-y. Since we all have different sensitivities, it's possible you could have a reaction, but my guess is that, unless your allergies are extremely severe, you can probably safely and comfortably use this product.

I find that if you start with a very clean, dry nose, they hold up incredibly well. I have used them for hours while sweating with no issues. Do NOT get the clear kind, those do not stay on well at all.

The pack contains eight bathing wipes. They are about wash-cloth size (a little smaller), fairly thick, and have a cleansing lotion on them. Both sides can be used. I would think four per bath would be good unless a person is really dirty, which certainly could happen on a camping trip if you are hiking a lot in warm weather. Personally, I would take four packs for a four-day trip. If you come back with an opened pack, no problem. They can always be used for a quick sponge bath in between regular baths if you're in a hurry. I really like this product. The Prevail Large Washcloths are also good and come in 48 packs, but I don't think they cleanse as well. We use them a lot. The pack contains eight bathing wipes.
