Product Reviews of BodyRelief Foot Pads Package of 10 Patches
Product Review: My Experience Has Been Stellar
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using footpads for over 4 years now, and I must say that the BodyRelief brand has become a fixture in my bedside table drawer. Most often, I use them for easing the kinks I get in my neck and back from sleeping on a less-than-perfect bed. I apply them directly to the spot where I'm feeling the pain for that, and the pads gradually ease out the toxins that build up around the kink (they don't "fill up" quite as much on those spots), taking the pain away as they work. My wife uses them for that, too, and loves the results, and we are both very skeptical of any new-age-sounding remedies.
We've lately found them extremely useful for detoxifying the body when we start feeling a cold coming on, too. It definitely seems to either shorten the length of a cold (or whatever) or 'nip it in the bud' before it has a chance to get hold of you. We even brought them with us on a recent ski trip (putting them on our feet overnight after skiing all day), and found that we didn't experience nearly as much soreness in our legs on the mornings after pounding the slopes all day.
I noticed one of the other reviews complained about experiencing an odor after using footpads. I have noticed, from time to time, a faint smell of vinegar emanating from the pads after a night of use, and I think that one of the main ingredients in the pads is a type of tree bark used to make vinegar. That said, I've never noticed the scent stays on my skin after taking a shower or rinsing, though she did say that she was unusually sensitive to smells. I've observed that the pads seem to get blacker and wetter the more toxins are in your body, so she must've been an extreme case.
In all, after trying a lot of different brands of these, my wife and I are thoroughly convinced that they work, and that this particular brand seems to be consistently the best.
Product Review: No Change
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm 61 years old, a health nut and eat very well. I was intrigued by all the ads regarding detox pads. I bought these pads over others because of the good reviews on Amazon and other sites. I ordered a months worth and followed the directions to a tee. I kept waiting to feel some change, i.e. more energy, etc. but after one month there was absolutely no change in my body at all. They were very easy to put on but in the morning it was a different story. It took a lot of scrubbing to get the smell and the adhesive off. (I would stick to the floor if I didn't remove the adhesive!) The smell was like an old musty barbecue pit. Even my sheets smelled. Actually it's the smell of wet tree bark. The pads did get wet and dark, but obviously when a part of the body is cut off from air, it will sweat in tha spot, therefore, the wet dark substance. I kept hoping through the process that I would feel something and kept a positive attitude, but, alas, the month finished with me feeling the same as in the beginning. Not worth the money I spent.Product Review: Not as bad bad as you think
Summary: 4 Stars
I carefully read every review before buying these. I saw so many good reviews that I figured I would try them. I was worried when one of the reviewers said something about the patches being really smelly. Well, I am very sensitive to smells. I get headaches from passing people in the hallway who wear cologne. All of the products I own are fragrance-free. I clean my house with baking soda and vinegar because I can't handle the smell of "cleaners". I'm bad. So, I took the plunge anyways. First of all, when you smell the patches out of bag, it smells like a really faint pipe tobacco or something out of a wood shed. It wasn't bad, so I stuck 'em to me feet overnight. The next morning, I didn't 'spring' out bed and feel like I was 10 years younger or anything so don't think these are miracle patches. I went into the bathroom and peeled them off my feet. At this point, they smelled like 'wet' wood shed. A little stronger but not bad. Let me tell you how black they were. My husband's were even blacker. And there was this sticky molasses-colored residue on my feet. I took a shower, washed my feet with soap and water, and by the time I got out, my feet felt so much cleaner than ever before. I was shocked. It's like overnight those patches deep cleaned my pores. If you've ever had a foot bath in peppermint, it's like that. My feet smelled good, no wood smell or anything. My husband reported a slight tingling in his calf muscles. I guess they improve circulation. A couple of things to remember when trying new products is keeping an opened mind, but not too open, and follow the instructions carefully. I also had a headache one night and tried a patch on the back of my neck (tension headache). I'm sorry to report that did not work as claimed. I still had a headache in the morning and used my Head-On to get rid of it instead. I do like the patches and recommend them for anyone seeking better circulation and really clean feeling feet.Product Review: On The Lookout
Summary: 3 Stars
I was skeptical at first, and yet anxious to try it. I put on the middle of my feet, not much was soaked up, the pads was not black. The next night I moved the pads to the pads of my feet, the next morning the Detox Foot Pads were black. For me the pads of my feet were where the toxins in my body had accumulated. I continued putting the pads there for the duration. I noticed my knee pain was no longer throbbing intermittently as before and to this day no knee pain.Product Review: Product seemed to work like it said it would
Summary: 5 Stars
I did notice that a couple times after wearing them it was easier for me to walk when getting up from bed to go to the bathroom. My feet didn't feel as stiff. So maybe there's something to it.
