It has 2 settings: low setting for a relaxing massage (head massage) and high setting for a strong, toning massage. Before you can use the appliance, you have to plug it in for 12 hours. Once fully charged, I decided to give myself a hips and thighs toning ...
...manual itself is clear and compact). And there it was: I could not feel a thing. So after a couple of minutes I decided to speed up the process and go to the higher setting. Not much a difference it made. It was all too gentle to have any effect at all. That night, not to be defeated too easily, I plugged it in again for a full 12 hour charge.

So I took her advice and ordered one from Amazon at a coast of £140 and waited with excitement for the day it arrived so that I could test it out. Homedics is in essence a cushion which is shaped like a chair without legs; it actually reminds me of a car seat. However it has been designed this way so that is can be used ...
...back ache but with this Homedics cushion it does exactly the same job, except I have probably saved myself money in the long run. I have been using this machine daily now for just over three months and I love it.

Anyway the embarrassing moment passed and this Sqsh languished in its box for a few months more. While sorting through the stuff that tends to accumulate in my box room I came across this Sqsh ...
...unpacked it and stuck in the batteries to make sure it worked, which it did so I decided to give it a try. Was I surprised … what had seemed like irritating and frenetic vibrations of the foot cushion were actually pleasant and soothing in this variant This Sqsh fits round your neck like a flight pillow.
