Advantages: helps soothe your child
Disadvantages: doesnt bring their temperature down

...I gave these a test run over the weekend while little one was vomiting everywhere and running a temperature. I'e had them for some time - they were a free sample i received whilst wandering round our local Boots store one afternoon. Dont know about your kids but whenever mine gets a temperature she complains that her face is burning aswell as the rest of the body and the paracetamol doesnt always make any difference to this - so i usually have to resort to a wet flannel which keeps falling off everytime she moves and can get the bed clothes extremely wet and messy. Anyway these are the answer to my prayers. You should use Kool 'n' Soothe at times of high temperature/fever and only on children from 1 year of age. Kool 'n' Soothe are soft gel sheets which are designed to provide immediate cooling relief for your child... Read review

Advantages: Ready to use. Ease of application. Immediate relief. No medicine and no side-effects
Disadvantages: Can slide off or become unstuck. Unsightly

...I've chosen a very basic title as Ciao have decided to list this product under Kool'n'Soothe, which is already listed elsewhere. The product that I'm reviewing is actually called Migraine Kool'n'Soothe; though I believe that there is little difference, which I shall explain. A Little Background: I have suffered with migraine since I was a little girl of about 5 years old (now recognised as childhood migraine). In my youth I would be packed off to a darkened room with a sweet cup of tea, for a good nap - this usually worked. There were occasions when the only remedy would be to vomit, causing the migraine to suddenly disappear. At age 11, I was admitted to hospital pending diagnosis of either meningitis (inflammation of the brain) or a brain tumour. I am glad, in one way, to report that I was diagnosed... Read review

Advantages: Great Live recording and excellent tracks
Disadvantages: Final song fades out too soon

...I have a somewhat eclectic taste in music and it's not unusual to find Guns N Roses in my CD player at the same time as boy band music and cheesy 80's pop. I'm particularly fond of Soul, Motown & Funk with a healthy dollop of Disco thrown in. My latest addition to my CD collection, in the disco/funk feel at least, is The Kool & The Gang Collection and it was an absolute bargain at £2 from my local Somerfield store, it can also be found on Amazon for £5.99 new or from 59p Used. The Kool & The Gang Collection is a 13 track CD featuring all the bands biggest hits, recorded live in concert. It's a wonderful collection bought to life by the fact that it is recorded live, you get a real concert sound with none of the over produced instrument sound and no tweaked vocals that you would find on studio produced work, you are also treated...

Disadvantages: Unseamless loop & not instant start

...This review is for the Kool Sound 220 & not the Kool Sound 220P which is exactly the same apart from the very modest 200W built it amp. Bought this unit for back-up purposes only, but can be easily used as a main system. I have started to use it more & more along side my other main twin decks so I have 4 decks constantly on the go. I am also in the process of converting to digital DJ'ing by using the Numark iDJ2, however, even though almost all my music collection has been transferred onto 2 external HD i have decided to carry on using the CDS200 unit when I convert so I can still play CD's CD-R's if needed. The great advantages of this smart looking system are its size & the many features it holds. Firstly it has a really good built in mixer with 3 separate EQ levels, volume & gain controls for each deck, plus a master volume... Read review

Advantages: Quickly cools down any part of the body
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Kool and Soothe These soft gel sheets are quite new in my medicine box, such as it is. They were bought on a whim, in case Little Miss ever had some kind of fever, and I was interested to see how they would "perform" **What do they do?** They promise to immediately cool down a child (why not adult?) and because they are ready for immediate use, they are convenient and can be used any time, any place. The sheets don't need to be put in the fridge because they are designed to be always cool. The idea is that the water from the sheet evaporates when it touches the heat of the skin, and this produces the cooling effect, They can be used with other medicines **What are they?** Inside the box, there are 2 packets with 2 of the kool 'n' soothe strips in each. Because the packets are a thick paper, they are easy to open... Read review

...WHAT ARE THEY? Kool 'n' soothe are gel sheets designed to provide cooling relief on your forehead during a headache or migraine. They can be used for children and adults and contain no medicine. The strips do not need to be kept in a fridge or cooled down in anyway so they are ready to use as soon as a headache or temperature strikes. HOW DO THEY DO IT? The gel in the cool and soothe strip contains mainly water which evapourates from the hot temperate of the skin which causes a cooling effect on the skin underneath the strip. WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? Each individual strip is approximately 4 and a half inches long and 2 and a half inched wide. The strips consist of a rectangular piece of soft white material which has a large rectangular patch of blue coloured... Read review

Advantages: Excellent performance in wet/muddy conditions, rim friendly, good wear rates
Disadvantages: Pricier than the competition

...This review is for the dual compound cartridge pads. They are black/salmon in colour. A bit of History The real secret of the Kool Stop's superior braking power is the salmon compound. Originally it was developed by Scott-Mathauser, and was recognised as the finest brake pads available, both for it's superior stopping power and durable compound. Kool Stop was under contract to Scott-Mathauser to manufacture their pads.Kool Stop obtained the rights to manufacture the salmon pads when Scott-Mathauser went out of business. The secret of the pads is that they contain iron oxide (i.e. rust), and work on the same principle as sintering does for disc brake pads. They dramatically improve wet weather braking performance as well as wear. Features of the Kool Stop Pads Along with the salmon compound, the pads also feature... Read review

...This product is a must have item for any parent of young children's first aid box! It is an innovative product which provides an instant cooling feeling if suffering from a high temperature. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* What is Kool 'n' Soothe? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Kool 'n' Soothe is a box of 4 rectangular shaped sheets of gel. These are packed in 2 sealed foil pouches within a cardboard box. (2 in each pouch) Each gel sheet is approximately 2 inches x 4 inches. The gel sheets are backed on what feels like a fleece material, very soft and comfortable feeling, and the gel is covered with a transparent film.

I have found that if I use... Read review

...I get migraines so often that I now have a migraine kit. Yes you have read correctly. Its not unlike a gym kit or a swimming kit, where you’ve got your swim suit, goggles, shampoo and towel in a bag, I’ve got a special dedicated area where I keep my migraine kit. It used to consist of a pack of tension headache tablets – the only thing that works for my migraines – and a flannel and they all used to be kept in my underwear drawer. Don’t ask why but it just evolved that way – so that everyone would know where it was in the event of a migraine emergency. But now my migraine kit has been upgraded, yes it still contains the tablets but the flannel has been replaced with a new invention – Migraine Kool ‘n’ Soothe. I better explain to you how the flannel works. When I have a migraine, one of the things that soothes and relieves... Read review

Advantages: Instant cooling relief, lasts 6 hours
Disadvantages: no major disadvantages

...This is a marvellous invention for people who suffer from headaches and migraines. Many migraine sufferers find that the excessive heat that builds up inside the head during an attack can be relieved by applying an ice pack. This is soothing and reduces the pain and most importantly, can prevent a full migraine developing from the first symptoms. When I have an attack, or one is "pending" I use a iced gel pack which sits in my freezer till needed. This is great so long as I : 1) am at home 2) don't want to do anything except lie down and hold the pack in place This of course is not always possible or convenient. Kool 'n' Soothe consists of an adhesive patch which holds a strip of cooling gel against the skin. The advantage is that you can move around freely when using one and they can be easily carried in a briefcase... Read review
