Promising review: "This massager is amazing! It’s worth every penny. I was in a car accident and my neck and back had so many knots after going to the chiropractor and masseuse weekly I bought this massager. Being able to work out my knots nightly has really helped my neck and back, so much that I only have to use this several times a month. This machine is easy to use and really can go to any pressure you like using the straps. It is very well made and I love the heat option." —TA22

In addition to toasting up the sheets, hot water bottles are wonderful for period cramps.
Get this two-liter hot water bottle with the ADORABLE fox sweater cover from Amazon for $14.99.
Promising review: "I am so glad I finally found this hot water rubber bottle at Amazon after looking for it for several months. This rubber bottle does deliver the job to soothe my occasional coldness or occasional bloated tummy when I put hot water in it. As a younger generation, I used to watch my grandma using this rubber bottle at bedtime to comfort her cold and discomfort tummy. Others may use this water bottle for other reasons than those of my conditions. While the rubber bottle earns a five stars, the fancy sweater Fox deserves the six stars review. Great job for making this rubber bottle doesn’t looks like your grandma’s." —swef
It comes with a suction cup and a D-ring so you can attach it to tile walls or hook it to your shower curtain!
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "Awesome sound from a sturdy little machine! I am so impressed by the sound of this speaker. It produces pretty rich, true sound, especially considering its size and waterproof capabilities. Bought this for my fiancé to use in his dusty workshop for entertainment during his many projects and I tried it myself in the shower and liked it so much I think I may be borrowing it quite a bit. The suction cup is also surprisingly effective, has been used several times in wet conditions and has never slid or fallen off. Actually seems to have pretty impressive distance range that well exceeds the 30 feet it promises. No lagging or weird breaks like I've experienced with similar speakers. We actually liked it so much for the price we bought a second one for a gift for a family member, and I'm thinking of buying more while the price is so good. I have experienced several similar Bluetooth speakers, more and less expensive than this one and none, besides perhaps a Bose, surpassed the quality of this one, and none of those had the durable qualities this one boasts." —Lily Kristen

Promising review: "We have been getting steady increases in ourcCable TV bill with no increases in services. So we thought we would cut the cord and this device became the focal point for making that transition. We are very pleased with the performance of this device. It is easy to setup with prompts provided as you power it up. We then added our favorite apps, (also very easy), and have never looked back at the Cable TV being gone. We now save over $100 a month without those charges for Cable TV. If you are thinking of making the leap into cord cutting, this is the way to go." —Stephen H. Jenkins

Promising review: "Bought this at the suggestion of my dentist. I particularly like the pressure sensor and the indication that you are brushing too fast. The timer is also very helpful. The app itself tracking focus areas for brushing I find a bit inaccurate but it does help. Overall very pleased. It is a toothbrush that feels like what a dentist uses when I get a check up. Expensive most definitely but it gets the job done very effectively." —Richard

Promising review: "These socks have just changed my life. I am not even kidding. I suffer all of the time from feet that are painfully cold when the temperature outside is anything less than about 75 F. It is horrible. I wear double socks with slippers; still have cold feet. Always having them tucked under a few thick blankets while watching tv, etc., but still feeling the cold in my feet. Well, I saw the reviews and ordered these. I put them on this evening, put on my usual slippers, and shortly after I felt like I had an electric heater inside my socks. They feel so very warm and toasty. I have never had a sock that could do this. Even thick wool socks don’t do this. MY FEET ARE ACTUALLY WARM which is something that rarely ever happens. I am in LOVE with these socks. I could kiss whoever invented them." —Linda Marie Nutter
