Not really, It's more like a shammy towel used for drying cars but works great for a camp towel.

I really like the towel but I don't think that this would be your best option. If in a jam, I think it would work.
252494
I usually take both. The towel is more absorbent than a bandana. I prefer the bandana for other tasks however, such as cooking for its smaller size

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.

Maybe. Depends on what you are trying to soak/ wipe up. Sweat, tears, other non viscous liquids? Prob will work well for that. Nose fluid and other viscous liquids? Prob not so much

It would probably get gross pretty fast with mucus. For sweat they're great and if you're by a clean water source you can soak and wring out and have dry in the morning. For reusable kleenex I've always used the old red paisley bandanas just like my grandfather always had. White Paisley Bandanna

I don't really think so. Its much thicker than a normal handkerchief and not as soft. Its a great product, just probably not for this purpose

For backpacking: This would be great to tie to your shoulder strap to wipe sweat away. For everyday carry you probably would not want something this bulky in your pocket. I bought the xl to use for a towel and I always feel damp afterwards.

I was using it for nosebleeds and it was the wrong idea because you couldn't stop the blood even for a second to use the Celox. Eventually I just had it cauterized and that did the trick. Good luck with dad.

You ask a question that I wish I had asked - figured it out! You can get the nose cushions from Amazon by searching "nose cushions". These do seem to tun large, but definitely do the job I have tried several masks, but nostril, and full face. This is the only one I hasve been able to sleep through the night with. Hope this answers

honestly, they didnt stay on my nose for too long. they slip off. depending on your nose size & if youre oily too. I got this to slim my nose a bit, but it only opens to a certain point.

It has been good to not have to wrestle with the hose -- such an easy solution and in expensive too. I have heard of a pillow that allows you to have room for your mask that helps, they are more expensive and I've not purchased. I did switch from a mask to a nasal pillow and that is much better and a lot less confining. Bless you and I hope this will be a great benefit to you.

Hmmm.....interesting question. You realize that this calls for a completely subjective answer, right? What may be soft enough for my face, may not be soft enough for yours.....in fact, I prefer Scott toilet paper which is sandpaper compared with the newer toilet paper products on the market, or even Charmin which is not so new, but much softer. So let me try to give you an answer by way of analogy: Have you ever seen those rolls of brown paper in restrooms in stores? These paper towels are much softer than those. However, these are not anywhere near as soft as the new paper towels marketed by Kleenex (the ones they recommend you use in place of hand towels in the bathroom). We use these mostly in the kitchen, but I do use them to blow my nose and they are soft enough, and strong enough, for that (I go right through tissues!). But, these paper towels are not as soft as Bounty paper towels. A long answer, but I hope it helps.

small enuff for a back pack. And PERFECT for camping!!(either as a primary pillow.....or sumthing to put between knees or under small of back for comfort)** what it turned out NOT to be so useful for was as a travel pillow when on a road trip/staying in motels: very comfortable but too small for that purpose. A real pillow, i.e. more normal size, is a better choice. LUV it tho'!!

I bought Wind Song dusting powder (4 of them) for Christmas gifts and never have used it myself. I thought it smelled good, but can't answer a question if it is different. I would think you could search the company that apparently still makes Wind Song products and ask them the question.

Go to wellnessmama. Com as Katie has some info on this clay. I followed the pkg directions for face mask an it was way too much. I had trouble getting a good consistency cuz it clumps. For bath I used 2 scoops, like coffee scooper. I also put 2 scoops in big bowl an soaked my feet but again the stuff clumps an takes forever to dissolve.

I don't think it would be a good substitute for a machine that one uses for albuterol treatments. I used to need one of those machines and no, I don't think it would work nearly as well as the nebulizer, which delivers medication to a mouthpiece and more directly in to the lungs. This is more meant to be something like the effect you get from showering when you have a cold. It loosens your sinuses and moisturizes them and helps your lungs if you breathe deeply. It's meant more for a cold or sinusitis, not asthma or severe allergies or pneumonia which necessitate a nebulizer. I eventually bought my own nebulizer when I was badly afflicted with allergies, and there is no way this machine would have been as effective for helping me as the nebulizer was.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Looking at this product, there is not an actual mask that goes over your nose. You can put your face close to the product but it shouldn't actually cover your nose area. The steam could possibly burn you. I personally, have not had any feedback about the other unit you were wondering about. I hope this answers your question.

Personally, I tried it a few times with the eye cup attachment it comes with, and I HATED IT. It was messy ..pouring all down my face and neck.., didn't fit my eye socket well at all, and never accumulated any water over my eye where my eye could 'bathe' in the solution, like I wanted. So all in all, I hated it. But I have the cheap plastic eye cup that came with my 4 oz bottle of Bausch & Lomb eye wash, and that fits my eye PERFECTLY, so I've continued to use that, but buying this solution because it's cheaper and I go through a lot of it (due to lots of gunk in my eyes from Dry Eye Syndrome).

Definitely try it. You will be pleasantly surprised how well it opens those nasal passages. Some nights I think I may be able to get thru the night without one, but at 1 o'clock in the morning & I'm having trouble getting to sleep, I get out of bed and put one on so I can breathe easier and fall a sleep. I have been using them for two years now. The EXTRA width band works best for me, but I also have more difficulty in removing it because it adheres so well. Needs lots of water soaking for removal. Wish I could keep it on for more than 12 hrs at a time, it works so well. Side benefit for me was I cancelled a nose operation for perceived nasal blockage, because those wide strips worked so well.

This will work for backpacking, but it is not ideal. I would look for aluminum poles, and a bit lighter weight if I was planning on serious backpacking. That said, my son is a boy scout, and they backpack and this is the tent he uses (One boy carries the fly and poles, hte other carries the groundcloth and tent - it stays packed in 2 small stuff sacks). He wants a lighter one but will need to buy it himself. I tried to get aluminum poles for this, but they would have to be custom made, and they would cost more than a newer lighter tent.

If you're going to be using it for more than a couple minutes, it's a good idea to cover your nose (I just used a bandanna over my nose/mouth like the cowboys maybe used to do) and I would also vacate the room immediately after finishing and let the dust settle for 15 minutes or so. You might also try covering your eyes with plastic goggles. If it's something you do every day, you might need more serious protection, but I didn't have any bad effects after using this for my bedroom, etc. a few times.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a net over my bike helmet. When I slow going up hills or at intersections in the spring, bugs come through the slots of my helmet and I can't hit or scratch them as they enjoy themselves biting my head. Stopping and removing the helmet takes time and lets more bugs catch up. I think I'll try it and see if the air is too restricted. Great brainstorm! Thanks!

I have allergies too. I use this for dusting everything in the home. It makes quick work of dusting large and small areas. It fits into small spaces. I love it. I still go over thing once in a while with Windex, but for weekly cleaning it works great and is very fast. I find I do a much better job of dusting with this brush. Things like doors and around windows that I did once in a blue moon I do about every other week now since it is so fast.
