Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So far, so good! I’m going to provide a somewhat detailed review on the 1Love Sauna because I want to share my experience, so others can make informed decisions on what I consider a investment in myself. I decided to get a personal sauna in order to detox after suffering from cancer and losing my reproductive organs this last year, plus for weight loss from being sick and the hormone imbalance it caused, and the aches, pains, and inflammation that it causes, and for relaxation and self care...for all of the above...and then some...heck we all need that. The sauna arrived sooner than I thought it would, everything was as it was supposed to be, and It weighed less than I thought it would. I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality of the product. It is always a crapshoot when it comes to quality when ordering off of amazon. But, I was very pleased when I received the sauna. It is sturdy, the seams are great, the materials, fabric, and fabrication are quality, stable, and texturally comfortable. Here are some of the initial reasons I chose the 1Love Sauna Dome over the other personal saunas that I looked at, which there are quite a few varieties. -Because it has infrared therapy - In my research to help me alleviate some of my ailments and symptoms, I found that infrared therapy penetrates below the skin layers and has many healing properties. I really like that aspect, and the fact that it isn’t just a heat sauna. -The fact that it lays down - I looked at the sitting up, boxy kind, but those looked too bulky, flimsy, and too short to me (6ft tall), and I didn’t like the thought of sitting on a cheap plastic chair while sweat drips down my back side. Laying down seems the best way to relax for me while I let the heat and infrared work its magic on my broken body. -I liked how you can slide the dome up and down in order to get in and out of it. -I liked that it can be plugged into a regular outlet. -The price was good compared to others I looked at. -I have limited space, so I love that I can fold it up and store it easily. -I liked the color. -I liked that the dome goes around me and doesn’t touch my skin. -I hate breathing hot air in saunas and get too hot when I do, so I love that I can stick my head out. When I first got it, I was so excited to use it that I layed in it for 20 minutes thinking it wasn't that great before I realized that my genius self forgot to push the start button...haha! Once I pushed the start button, it was just a couple of minutes before it got hot. I was worried that I might not fit in it because I am 6ft tall and curvy, being 52in around in my chest and slightly less in my luscious belly, and curvy hips. Length wise I fit fine with room to spare, and my girls didn’t even touch the roof of the dome. My shoulders did slightly touch the sides because my Viking ancestors bred with Amazons, then decided to have daughters that could throw bails of hay onto moving trucks...AKA...I’m a broad broad. It wasn't uncomfortable though, so I don’t mind. I thought it might get too hot on my skin that it was touching, but it didn't, and I tested the dome with my hand while I was laying in it to see if touching the skin would burn me, but it didn’t. It has a nice velvety feel to it, actually. So smooth. I managed to do 30 minutes the first time (in defense of my ability to stick things out, I think that was pretty good considering I did lay there like an idiot for 20 minutes accomplishing nothing but identifying that I can put off some serious body heat if put in the right situations). I do it naked now, but the first time I wore underware and a sports bra. Thank God I layed a towel down because I sweat so much. Even my knuckles were sweaty, which gives you an idea what the more obviously sweaty parts of my body were doing. I drank a whole flask of water right beforehand. Don't forget to hydrate!!!!! When I was done, it was easy to get out of it. I like that the curtain is velcro and comes on and off easily. I was a little light headed from laying down in the heat, then sitting straight up, but I quickly drank another flask full of water, and did the polar bear challenge in my freezing cold shower. My Vicking ancestors were probably rolling in their graves to hear the little girl screams that invoked. My skin stayed red for about 30 minutes after that, and my body felt like putty (in a good way) until I passed out hard, and slept like a baby all night. I've used it every night since then, and I LOVE IT! I’m up to 45 minutes now, like the Amazon Viking I knew was in there all along. There are too many little changes in my body, and too soon to notice any real changes, that it would be too much to explain everything I feel at this point, but I do have an overall sense of feeling better, and more relaxed. I have lost 5lbs this last week, so there is that….though I’m pretty sure it was all knuckle weight. If you are thinking about getting this - for whatever reason, even if you just need a warm place to hang out...I highly suggest it. I’ll even come back in a few months or so (if I remember) to update on my progress because I am awesome like that. *I'm adding a photo to show how nice it is, and how it fits easily on my floor. Yes, my hair is green...your eyes are not playing tricks on you. :)
