Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is one of those magical products where you have absolutely no idea why it works, but somehow it does. I will buy almost anything that says it will improve sleep, but this also promised circulation increase, etc. I have problems with circulation in my lower legs lately, so I figured I'd give it a try. Normally, because of circulation problems, when I get up, my calves cramp up a little. There was a marked difference in my calves after sleeping with the pads on my feet...also, I really did sleep better. Another benefit was that my usually swollen ankle had lost a lot of the swelling. Finally, I sometimes wake up with an upset stomach. I figured a little ginger couldn't hurt. And I was right...no upset stomach when I use them. So it was a major good experience...until one night that I decided I should uncover the little strip of adhesive that remains covered after removing the paper protector. Do NOT do this. I don't know if that area is a more powerful adhesive or not, but when I took the pads off that morning, the strip took the skin off the bottom of my heel right where the strip was. Didn't happen before and hasn't happened again...just leave well enough alone. Because of the positive results I'm getting with these, I'm going to keep on using them. Oh.....when you take the pads off in the morning, they smell like they had been sitting in a smoker all night. Strange...don't know why, but I thought I'd warn you.
