What is the best amount of water for a side sleeper? I used one quart and had jaw pain. Three quarts is still not quite right. I'm tall w/long neck

I am a side sleeper and I use 3 quarts. It did take me a few nights to get use to it though. Good luck.

Oh, I am a side sleeper too. It can be done to sleep on the wedge on your side but only in short segments. I found it too uncomfortable for lengthy periods and you have to experiment to find the OK bend point. I bought the wedge to use following surgery and later used it during brief periods of acid reflux or bad colds w/ sinus drainage. I have discovered that on my back on the wedge I am somewhat more comfortable with a small pillow or rolled up towel under my lower neck & tops of my shoulders. I hope this helps.

Not recommended anymore because of brain eating amoebas killing a couple of people after using tap water and a different sinus irrigation product. (Sounds crazy I know, but Google it) Just use distilled, filtered or boiled along with regular salt. As the others have said, regular salt does burn more than the premixed solutions. It doesn't really bother me though.

I use about 1 ounce in a little dose cup. Each person is different as to what they can tolerate. If you take too much at once your bowels will become loose...If I feel a cold coming on I will take as much as I can of this throughout the day, until have to run to the potty!

I usually put in 1/3 cup water. As others have stated, make sure there's enough so it seals.

Better to use warm water as suggested . I fill a Mason Quart jar about 1/2 full of water add the powder then use a hand held blender (one with small propeller type blade) to mix . Does great, then add the rest of the water for the Quart, that can then be cold water . I also drink Redmond clay and it is tough to get dissolved in water, but use the same method to mix it, too (except cold water) . Just though I'd share that second part . Haaaaa

Adjust the volume of water so you can both. You will end up feeling cold with the water not running on you. You are not using it that long anyhow. I am pretty though, and only take me about 5 mins. Watch the pressure, you don't want receding gums.

I have never had a water pillow before so I cant comment on the different brands and can only say that I find it great to sleep on, I fill mine to capacity whilst my husband prefers to 3/4 fill his. I also like the fact that due to the water it becomes heavier than a normal pillow and doesn't move around. Jane

My wife and I both have used the First Class Sleeper. She is 5'1" and it worked for her. Please look at my review for detailed advice on setting it up. It is **very important** not to overfill it with air. It won't work if you blow it up like an air bed or air mattress. It needs to be roughly half full, so it squishes around under you. I still use it eastbound to Europe, but my wife doesn't--but only because these days she sleeps perfectly in any chair!

I mix it with 8oz of water. I have taken it under the tongue, but I prefer taking it mixed with water.

I put 6 to 8 drops in a quart of water, for cold relief. It doesn't taste too good, but it works. Drink about a gallon over a couple of days.

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

It really depends how full you fill the bladder. I keep mine pretty low, so where your head an neck are are low and the parts where the water goes gets fuller.The great thing is that no matter how you move you get just the right cradle and support on your neck wether is back or side. My first water pillow I got from my Chiropractor and he said if I didn't live this pillow he'd give me my money back and use it for his house. That was 5 years ago and I'm still using and buying these pillows.

I tried using a mountain dew 2 liter and as soon as I put it on it just kept poring into the reptifogger. I may have been doing it wrong, and I've heard other people have success so give it a shot! I may try a different bottle next!

Recommended amount of water is 16 oz. However, I find the mix very potent (and good) I usually mix in a quart of water or more. Shelter is another good option.

It did not happen to me and I was surprised. I purchased mine during a very bad vertigo diagnosis. I needed to stay at 45 angle for 48 hours. I used a hand towel because I personally didn't want to breath in any fumes ( I didn't have any that were mentioned in reviews) so placed towel under my head. I am a side sleeper. 5' 5" and about 220 pounds. And wear light night shirts likened to soft tee shirt material. I am assuming all the factors I mentioned above have an influence. I did sleep on my back sometimes also. Really had no problems. And as my Dr. promised the vertigo was gone after the exercises and 48 hour BED WEDGE delight lol. I am a huge pain in the butt. I do not like to be uncomfortable in ANY situation. And I accommodated. I also will add I have a neurological disorder in my face/brain. I am in excruciating pain all the time. So I spend a lot of my time resting. I got used to it almost right away. If you're wearing a silky night gown or are petite in height or size that could be an issue for you. If you bought it for long term sleeping I would seriously consider a 7" Or 12. Good Luck.

I have been treating those areas for about 6 to 7 weeks. I am 73 so I don't expect any miracles. I have been treating the jaw line. I start at the chin and work back. I have been doing 25 stamps per side. No wrinkles just loose skin. The area is getting firmer. That is the only way that I can describe it. I have been treating the neck and under the chin area. I do three vertical lines about 1/2 inch apart. The loose skin is still there but less pronounced. Less face it, I need a face lift. I didn't expect anything to happen, but I can see better definition of the jaw area. I hate to answer any questions on this site, because every time I do, I get some crazy woman calling me a liar and a shill for the company. The device really helped around my eyes. Yes, I still have wrinkles, but my wife says they are less pronounced. That works for me. I forgot, the skin on my neck is really sensitive and the high setting is pretty Zippy. It will make your eyes water and it will sting for about 30 minutes after the treatment. I hope this helps.
