Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Wart Remover - 40226sch -12 Ea SKU 1490374

This product works very well with small warts, but not too well with larger warts. For larger warts, you should use Freeze away along with Dr Scholl's medicated pads, which will help to pull the wart out. Otherwise you may be just wasting your time and money. If you are like me (on your feet all day) than you will prefer using the pads. They will keep the wart from going deeper and remove them faster than freezing alone.

Omron HJ-150 Hip Pedometer

This pedometer counts all the steps you take while walking at a moderate pace, during the course of one day. Pressing a button will display the number of steps you have walked so far on that day. Then at midnight it stores the total, and resets the count to zero, ready for the next day's walking. Pressing the button repeatedly will show how many steps you walked on each of the previous seven days. Setup is easy -- you only have to set the time of day. The instructions are confused on one point: when they say "The unit must be positioned horizontally . . ." they really mean vertically, the position it automatically assumes when clipped to your belt.

I see this item listed five times here, but this one is the only one that ships from and is sold by Amazon.com, and qualifies for Super Saver shipping.

Twice-a-day Weekly Pill Organizer By Apex Healthcare Products

Works as it should, is roomy and holds a huge number of pills per compartment, even several large ones like vitamins. The lids can be removed for cleaning, the compartments are contoured for easy pill removal.

A drawback for me is the fact that the lids open too easily. Therefore, this is a pill organizer best suited for the countertop at home but not for travel because the contents would be spilled very quickly. Other than that: Good product.

Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth By Apex Healthcare Products


Product Description
Get your lenses (eyeglasses, reading glasses, sunglasses, cameras, binoculars, and more) sparkling clean with this Micro-Fiber Cloth - the perfect accessory to slip into your glasses case.


  


I bought several of these to clean my glasses and shiny electronics such as my cell phone and computer. They are not as soft as what you would get at an optical or glasses shop - they have a very finished feel to them, more like polyester, less like silk. I think they may have even put slight scratches on my cell phone. Tried two different clothes. Unfortunately, not recommended, even though the company was very helpful and shipped fast.

Philips Sonicare IntelliClean System Brush Head Refill

I couldn't find replacement brush heads for my Sonicare Intelliclean locally so I thought "I bet Amazon has them," and yes, they did. I had purchased my Sonicare Intelliclean from my dentist. I have 3 attached bridges and this product's cleaning ability under them is fantastic. My teeth feel fresher and cleaner then they ever have. It was a wise purchase. The replacement head was easy to put on.

The First Years American Red Cross Deluxe Baby Kit

Some of the items here are ok but there are a lot of useless items. You'l never use the rattle, medicine spoons (dropper already in any medicine you buy), and the clippers. The nasal aspirator is ok because it has the release valve, good for cleaning. I also use the thermometer, which is nice and small for rectal temps.
