Personal Care Reviews

I have wavy hair and, It took around 10 minuets to heat and two hours to straighten with the conair straightener.Then it would end up wavy again by less than mid-day. With the velvet material on the straighener it did not pull our strands of hair at all but with the velvet like material on it it makes it harder and take longer to straighten. I've had it for a short while and the velvet is already fadding. There are way better products out there. I do not recomend this to anybody.

This product is very good, especially if your tired and bored of not having anything else to do with your hair. You can straighten and crimp it. The only bad thing about it is that it makes your hair dry. I still recommend it-just don't use it too much!

I ordered this item on Jan. 14, 2004. I have not received it until Mar. 3, 2004. I am so upset!

Just got the kit and tried it on my 3year old. works great at cutting and trimming hair. Relatively quiet. The only concern I have is regarding the need to oil the clipper after each use.

Good trimmer BUT very easy to break. Not at all rugged. I broke mine the second month just trying to put on the blade guide. If you do this you MUST remove thge head prior to putting the guide on./ Even at this price - is it really worth the aggrivation? Not for me.

I purchased this around 3 months back and I can say that with my first trimmer, I'm pretty satisfied. It is simple and does its job quite well. I would say its value for money and something good to start with. The shortcoming which I felt is that nose trimmer is not that easy to convinient to use( for that matter is there anything out which is convinient in nose). Its good enough for beard, moustaches and under arm hairs.

I was very disappointed after trying out this portable massager. It had very little massage capability. Frankly, if you buy something battery powered to use for a massager, your just wishful thinking. This isn't worthy of your time. I returned it hours after it arrived, just save yourself the trouble and give up the idea of battery-powered portability. Get something that plugs in and has some oommph. ....

I like this product because it doesn't vibrate you off the map, just nice easy massage where you need a little relaxatoin.

Noticing this product reminded me of similar products I recall being sold in the 1980's. After receiving the item I was very disappointed because the product itself as well as the box the product arrived in appeared used. Scuff marks were on the black casing in numerous areas. The box itself appeared old and worn. In fairness I cannot evaluate how well the product functioned because I absolutely will not use a personal product which appears to have been used. In fact, even though I was sent a replacement I promptly returned both items, unable to even want to open the box and examine the replacement unit.

i didn't really know how to use it when i first got it but after that it styled pretty well! You should get it if you have long hair, it works better

I got this because I am on my feet all day long. The good points... its well built. The bad points...the Vibrating massage is not strong enough for any real help ,the acupressure roller is at a odd place making you put your foot at a weird angel that hurts more than helps, and the infrared heat is more like a red light than any real help. You are better off soaking in a nice hot bath tub.

I received the VibraSpa as a Christmas gift. It works ok. The vibration was mediocre and the infrared heat was barely heat at all. I would have been much happier with the bubble spa. I would recommend putting in very warm water because once the water hits unit, the water temp drops dramatically.

I used this product only twice and it broke. The on button fell through on second use. Tried returning it to the store within 10 days of purchase and they wouldn't take it back. Save your money, buy another brand instead.

This curler transforms my coarse, frizzy and thick hair into sleek, shiny, bouncy curls. The curls stayed put all night.... even without a whole can of hairspray! lol. The only thing was that the curler gets very hot and u have to b extremely careful not to burn your head when you are beautifying yourself. But I would recommend this product.

This was the messiest thing I have ever used. And it didn't even work that well! It took me forever to do one half leg! And it didn't even work on the underarms. I would not recomment this product to anyone.

This product is good but not worth the money. It does remove the hair but there are similar products out on the market with less than $12 price. I bought it only after seeing a commercial on the TV which said that the product melts with the body's natural heat and there is no need to microwave it. But that is not true. It does not melt with the body heat. I paid $25 to buy this product but after using it I was not satisfied.
All other cheaper products on the market does the same job.

I like -
1) Moujan Hot and Cold Wax. Costs around $10
2) Moom Hot and Cold Wax. around $10

Both Moujan and Moom are available on Amazon.com at the cheaper price than Nad's.

I don't think I will buy Nad's again. There are several other products with almost half of the price as Nad's available on the market that does the same job.

I began using this product since it was first available to the US. While it does remove hair for much longer periods of time than shaving, it did not remove it permanently. The hair does become finer as you continue to use it but it is very annoying and inconvenient to have to wait for the hair to grow out to a certain length to remove it again. The first few times I used it, it hurt pretty badly. Now that the hairs are finer it hardly hurts. I continue to use it because I have not found a more cost effective and more permanent alternative.

I bought this pedometer and I usually read all reviews on amazon before I buy things. I don't know if nobody had reviewed it when I purchased it or what because I would not have bought it with all those bad reviews. Anyway...I have not had accurate readings with this pedometer. It might be because I run with it instead of walk but even when trying to test it around the house walking it does not seem acurate. I have also e-mailed the company several times from their web site with no response yet. I also agree with it being hard to open the cover. when you are running and want to look at your progress it is almost impossible to open the cover without messing up the reading (That is inaccurate anyway so what does it matter)

I bought this about a week ago, and I'm glad I got it. It does pulse measurement, and calorie calculation (based on weight, so it's at least trying to be accurate). So far, so good -- it's been fairly accurate, and I'm glad I got it.

But, my one gripe about it is that the hinge design's a little weak. It can be difficult to open when it's hanging on your waist, and because it's difficult to open, the little pins holding the cover on it have a tendency to pull out. They're easily reseated with an unbent paperclip, but it's not necessarily something I want to worry about while I'm walking along.

One week later, and one of the hinge pins has snapped. The other one is seated firmly, and while the case is stiff to open now, it's at least holding securely. I've moved this from a 4 to a 3.

I read lots of reviews before I bought this pedometer. The pedometer I had was awful, and I wanted to find one that worked really well. The PE316PM got some great reviews from customers on several web sites, so I bought it. I have now used this model daily for over a year, and I love it! I would recommend it to anyone. If you set the motion sensitivity adjustment properly it is almost always dead-on accurate. Walk 100 steps, and it reads 100 steps. It has never been wrong by more than 1 step, plus or minus. Any inaccuracies experienced by other users are probably due to not setting the motion sensitivity (VERY IMPORTANT), not entering their personal weight (their HONEST weight) and stride measurement settings, or not wearing it properly. The instructions tell you how to do this, but you do have to READ the instructions carefully! The instructions indicate that there is a metric model as well as the one with miles and pounds, so the person complaining about the wrong type of measurements simply bought the wrong model. (That's not the pedometer's fault.) The instructions also tell you how to open the cover, which is easy enough to do if you use two hands as you are told to do. I'm glad it has a tight cover because my previous pedometer's cover constantly fell open while I was walking and then didn't count the steps I took when it was open. (A very easy-to-open cover is not necessarily a good feature!) The pulse meter works as well as any other pulse meter I've ever used, but it sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to read the pulse. I find varying the position and pressure of my finger usually solves that problem.

My pedometer has accidentally fallen on the floor several times, and it fell in water once. There was no damage to the plastic casing, even when if fell on a hard surface. (This can, however, turn off the display, and require resetting it. But this rarely happens.) It still works perfectly even after these accidents, and I put sticky-back Velcro inside the clip to make it hold better on my thin exercise clothing. It hasn't fallen off my waist since then.

I really like this pedometer. It has made a big difference in my exercise program. It is very compelling to see the number of steps go up and up as you walk farther and farther. It makes you want to keep walking to go on to the next round number, so you walk farther than you would otherwise. (You won't stop at 9,345 steps... you'll go on to 10,000. It's like wanting to see your car's odometer change to the next thousand miles.)

If you read the instructions carefully and set everything properly (including the motion sensitivity), then you should find this pedometer to be an excellent buy for the money. At under $20, if it has a problem after a couple of years, it's easy to just buy a new one. $10 a year to maintain your health is certainly worth it! I'm a very satisfied customer.

I bought this item about two months ago, and since then it has just been collecting dust on one of my shelves. I tried and tried but it simply doesn't work. Try a different one.

This razor does NOTHING! Yeah, the trimmer works well, but who wants to just trim their leg hair? The foil part of the razor is decoration, I guess, since it doesn't cut anything! Long hair, short hair, it doesn't seem to matter. Don't waste your money.

I'm going to agree with the other unimpressed reviewers - this shaver is a dud. I've used it wet with soap as recommended in the manual with little success and I've used it dry but it still barely shaved my legs and underarms.

What good is a shaver that doesn't shave? I'm reminded of the old adage "you get what you pay for" and you should too. I admit to borrowing my boyfriend's shaver when he wasn't looking and it did a great job.

If you do buy a shaver, here are the features you should look for:
- Rechargeable, preferably one with a stand/base
- Wet/dry usage
- Titanium blade coverings
- Pop up trimmer
- Easy to find replacement blades when necessary

With any shaver, your skin will need time to adjust, but this shaver isn't worth the hassle. Buy something that will do the job it's intended for.
