Transparent Classic Hot Water Bottle - Made in Germany
August 2009-Nearly two years later and the bottle is still holding up strong!
January 2011-Still in perfect condition!What can I say? I've owned many water bottles before and it was only by accident that I ran into the Fashy-brand bottles on Amazon; I am forever glad that I did.
After using this bottle for 2 years, it is hands down the best one I've ever used.
######### AFTER 4 YEARS ######
(1) YELLOWING I have two of these Fashy transparent bottles and still love them to death (so does my mum), but one thing to note that I also experiencing a "yellowing" of the bottles. It is NOT based on the water supply. I have learned these bottles are made of TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane). 'Transparent' TPU discolors and turns yellowish (same as my iPad case). Anyways, it doesn't affect the performance, but I loved the original clear, clean look. It still has it, but with a tinted yellow discoloration. The manufacturer should use aliphatic TPU based on aliphatic isocyanates to prevent the yellowing.
(2) Also, the smooth side of the hot water bottle has begun to peel somewhat. It has not affected the job performance. I tend to abuse my bottles (lie down on them -all 165lbs of me) and put boiling water, so YMMV.
(3) Bottle leaks if I don't tighten it very hard after years of use/abuse(?)
PROS:
1) Huge mouth and anti-"spurt" lip prevent water spitting back out like those old rubber ones
2) OMG It's transparent!!! No more guesswork about how much hot water is inside!
3) VERY easy to tighten, and SECURE bottle cap! I've literally sit on this thing with boiling water, and filled to the max, and it has never leaked
4) Leakproof design, unlike old rubber counterparts, due to the fact that is made in a single mold, without any kind of
5) It's frikken' transparent!!
CONS:
1) No doubt about it. For $24-27 shipped, it is expensive, but IMO if you use this thing daily like I do for muscle pain/helping with sleep/feel warm and toasty in a cold room, then it's damn worth it (this is coming from a loyal tightwad gazetter :P)
2) Yellowing of the bottle
3) Long time, top portion, smooth side of the bottle begins to peel after 2-3 years. 4 years later, still working
4) LEAKS after 3-4 years. Make sure you tighten the twister HARD after years of usage!
Still the best hot water bottle made.
NEUTRAL:
1) Sweet lemony smell for the first few weeks, then disappears

This is an excellent product! Those of us who live in homes with solar 12-volt electricity have discovered hot water bottles as the best way to pre-heat the bed before retiring. (They are also perfect for cold toes or an achy back.) We have tried many and this is the best one yet! The wide mouth is easy to fill. The clear container makes it easy to determine that it is not over or under-filled. The material is heavy and seems durable. The bottle is also manufactured without a seam--one of the primary causes of failure. There is little worse than a bed full of water in the night! The only thing this product needs is a flannel jacket, which is easy to make at home.Read Best Reviews of Transparent Classic Hot Water Bottle - Made in Germany Here
Yes, it is clear and sturdy. The best bottle I've ever used. I have bought 6 of these and they are all flawless!I recommend buying the clear bottle since you can visually inspect if the seam to see if it is getting weak in any areas. The seam is thick and strong, but it appears to be thinner at the neck. So I try to avoid stressing that area.
There was a lemon scent when new to mask the plastic smell. I washed the outside of the bottle with warm water and a mild soap and the lemon smell disappeared. I've used one of the bottles about a dozen times now and there's still a faint generic plastic smell, but it's only noticeable if I have the bottle an inch away from my nose.
The plastic is pretty thick which means it take a while for the heat to radiate through it. I preheat it under hot tap water for about 10 seconds before filling it.
When I fill it with hot tap water (mine is about 120°F, but I think 140°F is normal), the bottle stays warmer than room temp for about 2 hours if I don't move it around much. 120°F through thermoplastic is not hot enough to sooth any aches, but can still provide some warmth.
Other times I pull out my tea kettle and fill it with nearly boiling water (180-200°F) the bottle stays very hot for many hours. The neck of the bottle stays cool enough to hold while filling it with near boiling water. I've been sleeping with one at my feet and it is still lukewarm 7 hours later. I sometimes use full boiling water (212°F) and haven't seen any problems other than it is really hot!
The bottle comes with a little hanger attached on the top of the water bottle (where you fill it). I don't know if the hanger is just for storage or retail purposes. The hanger is detachable, but I am disappointed that it won't fit in the hole on the bottom of the bottle to hang it upside-down for drying or storage. Problem solved with looping a rubberband tying a loop of string/ribbon a few inches long to the bottom hole. A practical solution for hanging upside down should have been included.
Note: I don't have a use for the hanger so I removed it and tied the plug to the hole left behind so I don't lose it.
I did some searching and found UV light causes "thermalplastic" to yellow. I'm not sure if this is the same exact material used in the water bottles, but I try to keep mine covered.
*Sept 22, 2010 update: My bottles still work great and look like new! On hot days I've put them in the freezer and it made an excellent ice pack!
*Nov 26, 2010 update: Using them daily again. No signs of wear. Works great and clear like new! Cat also loves it under his cardboard box.
*Nov 22, 2011 update: I've been lazy and put straight boiling water in it several times now and it seems to have stretched out a little, but still holding up great! The seals still look very strong. I stopped covering the bottles and left them hanging in my shower. No yellowing.
Now for some product info not listed on Amazon:
=============
Water bottle: 7.5 inches wide and 10 inches tall (12.5 inches tall including funnel). Less than 1/2 inch thick when empty. One side of the bottle is smooth and the other side has diagonal ridges on it. The smooth side is noticeably hotter.
Volume: The bottle holds about 2 quarts of water (or 1/2 gallon or 64 ounces) when filled to the top. Note that you should only fill it 2/3 full so no more than 43 ounces of water should actually be used or almost 1.5 quarts.
Seam: 1/4" thick all around and tapers to 1/8" thick at the neck.
Filling hole: The hole where the plug screws into is 1 inch in diameter.
Neck (threaded part where the plug/stopper is inserted): About 2" wide and perfectly round and about 3/4" tall. The neck is seated inside the bottle is made of hard white plastic (nylon?). The shape is slightly tapered (top wider than the bottom) which makes it a great place to hold the bottle while filling. It does not get too hot to hold.
Plug: Threaded hard white plastic (or nylon?) with no gasket or washer. When screwed in, the plug comes in contact with the thermalplastic lip holding the neck in place that acts as it's own seal. The plug also has a tiny hole drilled into the handle to tie it to the bottle. It originally comes tied to the hanger, which I found useless. Plug's handle is about 1" tall and 1.5" wide. --Good for big fingers.
Built-in funnel: Oval shape about 2" wide and 3.25" long and about 2" deep (from the neck to the top of the funnel). --Also good for big fingers.

I really like these hot water bottles. They feel very durable. One side has ridges while the other side is smooth depending on how much heat you want. I will start by saying that I abuse the hot water bottles quite a bit. I use them frequently and while I generally do not use straight boiling water, I mix it with some cold tap water, the bottles get pretty hot. The negative I found is that after 3 months of owning one of these bottles it tore. That's right, it didn't burst or get a hole, it literally tore at the seam. I imagine it was while I was laying on it and shifted and combined with the heat of the water it just came apart. Also, some of the plastic coating that is on the smooth side started to peel off. These are expensive bottles and even though I use them a lot I expected a bit more durability. The last hot water bottles I had lasted for over 10 years before they sprung a hole. I decided to give these bottles another shot and ordered 2 more of them because I really do like these bottles. Hopefully it may have just been a fluke or a bit too much abuse. I will update this review if anything happens to the new bottles I received.Rest Easy Kills & Repels Bed Bugs Tripper Spray
It's not going to work instantly, like steam, but it does kill the bugs without poisoning you (unless you're allergic to any of the ingredients like cinnamon). The oils attach itself to the body of bed bugs and dissolves the shell.
The smell will stick around like with most bug sprays, I suggest ventilation. I also suggest reading how to use it properly so you don't end up with staining your bedding or fabrics or using too much of the product.
The best part of this product is that is doesn't use pesticides and it is effective (the user before should have read a little bit more about how it kills the bug before assuming it works like Raid on a roach).
I also suggest for the sufferers out there to also use steam in cracks and food grade diatomaceous earth and to do research how to best apply each measure so you don't waste the little energy you have after probably not getting a full nights sleep.
Good luck!it smells like big red, and the smell will fill your house for a day or two, but i have not found a single bug while using this product. i swear by it.
Buy Rest Easy Kills & Repels Bed Bugs Tripper Spray Now
I bought Rest Easy because my husband and I travel often and I wanted a natural/organic, animal-friendly product. We stay in nice hotels, but bed bug outbreaks occur in even the most exclusive hotels. When traveling overseas especially, you just don't know what the condition of your room will be like. We have never had a problem since using Rest Easy. The smell is fantastic! I even spray my luggage before leaving to repel "hitchhikers."Rest Easy's use is not limited to the hotel room: I spray a border around doorways and it effectively keeps bugs out of the house--while freshening the room at the same time (I don't use chemical-laden air fresheners either). Overall a great product, one that I just won't travel without.
FYI, Rest Easy also makes a flea & tick spray that I use before walking my cats outside. It works, smells great and contains no harmful ingredients. Try this instead of a chemical-soaked flea collar.

I've been fighting bed bugs for 3 or 4 months. Very little works that you can feel OK about spraying on the edges of your mattress and on the bottom side of our pillows. If the stuff comes in contact with sensitve areas of your skin, it can burn like the dickens. You gotta like cinnamon candy, because this stuff will fill a room with the smell. This is my 3rd bottle and I'm buying the gallon size, because i am findinf fewer bed bugs and fewer bites. I'm trying different things, so I cant guarantee it's working, but I sure enough to buy a 60 buck gallon bottle.Fairy Tales Sleep-Tite Bed Bug Eliminator

Even better, this stuff won't make you dopey. It's not like taking a swig of Nyquil and passing out. It will make you feel more relaxed and comfortable so that you can sleep, and then when you're asleep, you'll keep that REM sleep a whole lot longer.
LOVE this stuff.I mix this with my tea (generally damiana) usually in a somewhat high dosage. I put it in the water or milk before I nuke it, that way the alcohol boils out, then steep the tea. I have consistently had the strangest, almost lucid, dreams. Not the most energizing sleep, mind you, but veeery interesting.

First off if you decide to buy this product, be aware that there are 3 different sellers offering California Poppy Extract on Amazon. You can save yourself a few dollars on your order by picking the lowest price vendor.I puchased this product on the claims that it would help me sleep more deeply and to enter some very vivid (potentially even lucid) dream states. The fact that it was also touted as a painkiller was an added bonus, as I suffer chronic knee pain. After trying doses of anywhere from 20 to 60 drops prior to bed time, I think I may have felt slightly more relaxed, but I did not have noticeably more vivid dreams. Furthermore, I didn't feel any impact on my mild insomnia. I slept just as restlessly and still found myself waking frequently throughout the night.
As for eliminating pain, I also felt no improvement while using this product.

Sound Oasis Sounds for Sleep Sound Card
I purchased 2 different cards, the other was Tropical Rain Forest. The sounds on the Rain Forest card do not match with their description, so I think I may have ended up with a mislabeled card. None the less, I was able to find a nice soothing sound that works for both me and my husband.
Overall, I think the cards are good choice if you like to have a larger variety of sounds to choose from. I gave it 3 stars bacause of the difficulty with insertion and the damaging of the unit.This is exactly what I expected. Love the variety and the sounds are excellent. Would recommend it to friends and family.

I asked for this sound card because I love my Sound Oasis and sleep to it nightly. When i received the card as a gift, however, it was entirely the wrong shape.

We have to return it.Read Best Reviews of Sound Oasis Sounds for Sleep Sound Card Here
At first this unit was great, but somehow, it developed some additional "transient" sounds that interfered with the soundsthat are necessary to cover up other sounds in the room. This is hard to explain, except that your ears pick-up on these abnormal sounds that are cycled thru the regular sounds. It may be a click, beep, melodic or a skip where the cycle ends and starts. The wife woke up several times hearing sounds and once thought she heard her cell phone and realized that it was the sound card. I can "forget" and not hear it, but sometimes your ears "catch" ahold of the foreign sound and won't let go.

Catalyn was recommended to me by my accupunturist and my nurtitionist, both of whom sell different products but agree that Catalyn is the best quality, most absorbable multi on the market.I agree! I was having awful bloating due to not having the right enzymes in my stomach for digestion. I took four of these a day for about two weeks. And suddenly was gone... I had been searching since February for a cure for chronic bloating. The doctors weren't helping. It's not a cure-all since I still have the problem, but it definitely helped.Since Catalyn has all known nutrients in it because it is made of a variety of whole foods, I'm already experiencing that it meets almost all my supplement needs. I am going to try a few Specialized Standard Products, like for allergies, etc. If those symptoms improve, I'm planning to just take Catalyn. It already has gotten rid of my twitches.

Porcelana Night Skin Lightening Cream Facial Night Treatments
I also found the daytime formula left a nice base to apply make-up on to and my complexion actually seemed to clear up while using it.
I was very pleased with the results overall...and the price!I decided to buy this cream because I had some dark spots on my stomach that showed up after some sun damage. They were embarressing, and because I am so pale, they just seemed so dark and obvious. I bought the night cream at a pharmacy because I happened to see it was on sale for $5. So I figured, why not give it a shot? Today is Wednesday, 8/25/10. I purchased the cream Saturday, 8/21/10, and used it every night since. This morning when I woke up, I happened to glance in the mirror and was shocked at what I saw. The marks are barely visible! Again, this was only after 4 nights. While it was recommended to use the day cream also, I did not, I only used the night cream. I did not expect such results so soon, especially since the bottle said "if you see no difference in three months, stop using." So I was expecting at least a month before seeing results. I am totally blown away! Right now I am scouring the internet to find a website or email for them, just to write and tell them how pleased I am, but so far I have been unsuccessful in finding one. When I go home tonight, perhaps I will look on the bottle for a phone number I can call.
The only thing I am wondering at this point is if I will have to use this continually even after the spots disappear. We shall see. I highly recommend this.

A doctor recommended hydroquinone for my melasma--hormonal darkening usually caused by pregnancy, but mine just never went away after my kids were born. I know hydroquinone works for me; I used to use a product from Bath and Body works that had hydroquinone as its only active ingredient. They discontinued it, and for 4 years since I've been trying all kinds of brands and have been getting rashes. I have super sensitive skin and can get rashy just from using soap or from visiting another state where they have a different form of water treatment. I tell you... if a product can irritate, I will be the one it will irritate. I have applied Porcelana night cream 3 times, and already my brown spots are ever so slightly lighter, and there is no reddening!!!! That is amazing. I will use the night cream with my own sunblock during the day, because I read the ingredients in the day cream, and I know their sunblock ingredient would be a problem for me. I am happy with the night cream.Read Best Reviews of Porcelana Night Skin Lightening Cream Facial Night Treatments Here
So I got a lot of scars from acne and I've tried everything to get rid of them or atleast lighten them. I was getting really impatient and fed up and did a little research before buying anything. This product came up and I usually like to know what ingredients are in the product to see if I have already tried another product with similar ingredients that has failed on me previously. When I looked up the ingredients for porcelana it had an ingredient called hydroquinone. So I did further research into it and there is some controversy about this specific ingredient and some type of cancer inducing effects. But a higher risk is correlated to higher percentage, and porcelana has 2% hydroquinone (which isn't bad compared to other prescribed products). I think 2% is perfect because I tried something with 4% and it really irritated my skin-the only issue is that you have to be patient because it really does take 2 weeks for you to see dramatic results, although you will see some progress a week later-but really...2 weeks is not that bad and it actually gets a lot better as time progresses and it helps with future dark spots-so if you really do want your dark spots to fade PLEASE get this product and BE PATIENT!!!!!! Another thing I noticed (I'm not sure if its correlated to me using the product or coincidence) but my acne did stop-it was weird. And if I did get a pimple or something the scars that come from that acne were little or it didn't scar at all. But now back to the ingredient hydroquinone, I talked to my dermatologist and she said that it really isn't that dangerous to a person's health but she recommends to only be exposed to it for 3 months. If you don't see anything after a month or two than the product is obviously not working and there is no need to expose yourself to more hyrodoquinone. The only bad thing is that the product is a bit greasy and sticky-but honestly, I don't really care. It does what needs to be done but its not a product you can really wear under makeup.The mechanism behind hydroquinone:
it's very complicated to explain but i'm going to try to simplify it as much as I can
The type and amount of melanin synthesized by the melanocyte and its distribution pattern in the epidermis determines the actual color of the skin-different processes will cause de-pigmentation
so hydroquinone
1. one of the most effective inhibitors of melanogenesis (production of melanin-which too much in certain cells is the reason for discoloration)
2. cytotoxic to melanocytes (melanin-producing cells). This means it kills these types of cells. It is not limited to killing these cells it can kill normal cells but the amount that is needed (so the threshold) of hydroquinone for normal cells is a lot higher than the threshold of melanocytes
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU MAKE A DECISION AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS PRODUCT IS DOING TO YOUR BODY!
I personally love this product, hence the reason why i wrote such a length and time-consuming review

Not sure what was going on with my eyes, but this thing would give my under eyes a burning sensation and I didn't use too much. It even says to use a "generous amount". I would just roll it under my eyes, the little silver ball felt nice to the touch, but that's about it.My undereyes also became itchy.
It did no lightening to my undereyes whatsoever.
I have very tired eyes. I'm a student in college who procrastinates and stays up all night on the computer. Even on days that I have a good rest and used this, it did nothing.
I didn't expect a miracle. But luckily I had no effects from the burning. Just a bit itchy.
What worked though a bit for me was consuming green tea extract. Or you can just drink green tea daily. I'm too lazy to brew tea every day so I just take a capsule every day and I noticed my dark circles reduced. One day I was looking in the mirror and I've been taking the capsules for a week or two and I noticed no darkness around my eyes, I was amazed.
I had to rush to school in the morning and neglected the green tea capsules and my dark circles came back. That is what has led me to believe they worked for my under eyes (I'd take it in the morning WITH breakfast). I read green tea helps with overall health and eyes anyway, so give green tea capsules a try.
NOT the ones that are fat burning, just a green tea extract capsule. They are around here on amazon... it's from Now Foods. There are others but that's the one I bought.
Or you can buy green tea powder, also known as Matcha. Put it in another (NO DAIRY PRODUCTS) and you get an instant boost and it helps with your undereyes from within.
