is the stress sweat stick offering different protection than the other secret sticks? how is this different than drysol?

I haven't used drysol, but in my LOTSA active years, I haven't found any other deoderant that quells my odor like this stuff, and I sweat a lot! My wife also agrees it protects her better than anything else we've used since we've been together (15 plus years).

This product works much better for me then the regular stick deodorants. It seems to be stronger and last longer. I'm not sure when you say drysol if you mean aerosol. I can't stand the aerosols, I always felt yucky after using them.

Compared with other deodorant that I have used, Secret has been the most effective. Never used drysol before.

I have no idea what the difference is. I looked at the description of the "Calmer" pad and it appears to do the same thing mine does. I love my pad. I have a seriously degenerating spine and it helps my tight muscles and will often times help me fall asleep.

If you don't mind the mess, by far the cream is better. It lasts a lot longer and is more effective. If you're already used to a "normal" deodorant that you apply daily or every other day, the roll-on is comparable and healthier for you than "normal" deodorants, though that is my opinion, not based on scientific study. Lavilin does not use aluminum salts to do its job, which is why I prefer it. Its main ingredient, Zinc Oxide, has no track record that I know of for being toxic when applied to the skin. (It's also used as a sunscreen in other applications.)

Yes, the roll-on is a liquid. There is also a stick applicator, which is not liquid. The liquid, in my opinion, works better, but it is also more likely to irritate skin. If you have sensitive skin, definitly go with the stick.

I have the stress erasser. I am now going to get the Resperate. With the stress eraser I needed to control my breathing on my own and being as wound as I am I was unable to do it! I am hoping the Resperate will guide me , by the music, to slow down.

I don't know. What I do know is that it does not dry my skin as other powders do making the problem even worse. Instead of drying the skin it feels as if actually lubricating and soothing. As a doctor...it is the best I've tried. It stops the diaper rash and associated infections on its tracks.

The solution is truly a better ball with it's moisture absorbing tecnology. When your hands get wet from sweat, you still have grip and control of the ball. Good ball.

I think the stress eraser is very stressful to use. I have called for assistance and still could not get the correct pattern. I am thinking it has something to do with my dry hands, as sometimes I have trouble with electric connections with my palm pre also. I am going to give the resparate a shot, as it seems easier.

It's a matter of preference. I like the application process of Drione. It's a powder and can reach places liquids can't. Basically ...the powder sticks to insects when they walk through it. It ruptures (cuts) the exoskeleton of insects and they dehydrate rather quickly.

Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad). Two totally different kinds of pads here. This is for deep, penetrating muscle heat on a physical therapy level not just for an ache or pain. The comment about holding onto the switch, that is for your safety because you hold onto the activate switch until you cannot stand it any hotter. You never want to fall asleep with a heat pad that is on. And the other comment about the bag with beads that heats up in the microwave, that is for an ache or pain once in awhile. Not real deep-seeded, disabling pain... Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad).

I can't say that is better than the typical tens machine. They are the same in terms of the tens itself. Hollywog is easier to use but they are made to be used on your back, if you try to use it in other body parts the machine does not work so well.

I practiced without a towel and had an awful time slipping. I now have a Jade yoga mat which provides a much better grip. However, in my hot classes, everyone is required to bring a towel. I purchased a Yogitoes towel through Amazon and it's great. I would assume it would work well on all yoga mats. The Yogitoes towel (and many yoga towels) have small skidless rubber bumps on the side that lays on your mat which holds it in place. With some of the yoga towels (including the Yogitoes) you need to dampen the towel with water first; if you practice on the towel when it is completely dry, you'll slip on the dry towel surface. Hope that helped! I practiced without a towel and had an awful time slipping. I now have a Jade yoga mat which provides a much better grip.

Both. I couldn't believe what came with this unit. The outer silver thermal tent, with infrared panels built in on the back and sides. A small fold-up camping style chair with canvas seat (use 1 towel on back + 1 towel on seat + 1 towel on floor under chair during seated use for perspiration + 1 hand-fowl around neck, then velcro that shut); and the heated foot panel for the floor. In addition it has zippers for hands and a remote control w/ it's own front pocket. This thing works. Preheat on highest setting (150) and make sure you turn on heat + foot floor sensor. zip up all. Block heat from coming out hole for the head, by using a fold-over back flap (They thought of most everything). I let it heat up for 15-20 and the first 5 times used the chair. Last time I went in, sat indian style on a folded towel and just covered the neck hold with the fold over flap. My doctor said to get one of these, I tried 3 series of antibiotics this past year for that nasty bronchial bug - and this was the thing that finally made the difference. I used it and thought to return it, but then the snow came back and I was outside - and started a little cough. So back into the tent I went! I will never return it. Keeping it forever. The big wooden models for homes cost way more. You can't beat this thing. I read a book or put on a movie and it makes a great in home spa treatment. Use coconut oil on skin, put conditioner in hair, drink a cleanse - and sweat out the toxins.

This is the first summer I have used it, and it has been fairly cool, so I have not used it as much. My experience with using it while sweating is limited to an hour or so on a bike. However, I would say it is more resistant to sweating than most brands. I would suggest reapplying it every couple hours, then stretch out that time as you gain experience. It is not "chemical" based. It uses titanium dioxide as the main blocking agent. I hope I helped some.

Personally, I have both and I only use the Styrofoam massage roller to help loosen the muscles around my IT band. As for the muscle roller stick I can go as deep or gentle into my calves as I need, you don't get the same option with the Styrofoam roller. I've known quiet a few people who are turned off by the Styrofoam roller because of how painful it can be.

You are really going to laugh at this answer. I bought this chilly mat for myself Karen not Gary. I suffer night sweats and this is awesome. I love it wished I had it years ago. And I did buy a small one for our male frech bully he over excites and he has his own fan I have placed his mat in front of his fan and he has started using it more. It works however he seems unsure about laying on it.

My wife used it regularly when nursing our 3 kids. Usually once a day, maybe more. She says it reduced the irritation and dry skin. The pure, 100%, is anhydrous and thus very thick and sticky, takes a little rubbing to work into the skin. Some places (maybe not Now Foods) sell a hydrous version with a little water, nothing else, so it's a bit thinner and easier to spread (that's most likely what was in the squeeze container mentioned below as anhydrous would be too thick for a squeeze-tube). After a fairly long time (not sure exactly how long) the anhydrous becomes very thick and difficult to use with a slight change in color, but it still works.
