Lite of my life

Advantages: effective, lightweight, compact
Disadvantages: price

Gosh how I hate the winter... dark mornings, dark evenings, cold feet. We all get a bit down in the winter, but my moods were getting the better of me. I felt so depressed at times I could hardly drag myself out of bed, let alone do anything productive with my day. Everyones heard of SADs and reckons its a bit of nonsense, but it really made sense to me. I was such a nice person in the summer, then so grumpy as soon as the weather changed. I went ...
...rubbish, but was delighted when my boyfriend bought me one of these last christmas. Its only small but its great. A treatment takes about 15 - 30 mins and makes you feel so much better. It folds down so you can take it with your when you go away too. I dont know how I lived without it for so long! Yes they are expensive but so worth it in the long run. ...

When the (bladder) pressure's on

Advantages: No odour, discreet, effective
Disadvantages: Expensive if required long term, embarrassing to buy

...of research led me to Tena for Men. These are the male equivalent of panty liners, I guess, but much more absorbent. They come in two absorbency levels, 1 and 2. The price per box is the same for both, but a level 1 box contains 12 and a level 2 box contains 10. There is no indication anywhere of how much liquid can be absorbed by each level, so I opted for level 2 to be on the safe side. My estimate is that a level two pad would handle around 20-30 ...
...is not for you, but Tena do have solutions for bigger problems. Now comes my one major gripe, and it's nothing to do with the product itself: Why do chemist's shops insist on putting male incontinence products in the same display as sanitary towels and tampons? I mean, it's bad enough having to buy the things in the first place, without having women shoppers in the store look at you as if you were some kind of pervert, rummaging around among the ...

...the bin came my whiz and I tried again. (after cleaning of course). Go Girls way. It worked. basically you hold the length of the funnel part with the thumb at the biggest end, which is called the lily part, and stretching your hand, put your third finger at the back part of it, making sure it is stretched and flat against you. Hold the device at these two points only, pressing the two points to the body you then pee. Simple as that. It worked ...

...late at night in an echoey bathroom. This is no great concern as it can be used anywhere that you have a power point. (Measuring approx. 140 cm, the power lead is not overly long, but is perfectly ample.) If you are not near a basin, all you will need to do is fill the reservoir from a jug or bottle and sit with a large bowl on your lap to catch the drainage water. 30 sachets of SinuAir saline powder are included with the machine. It is recommended ...

No thanks Mr. Vicks

Advantages: portable inhalator

During this time of the year, most of us catch flu, cough and cold easily.

So i usually visit my local ...
