My Share: Best Compression Knee Sleeve Support Brace

Posted on by
Reply

After having my knee go through a dashboard when someone ran a red light and smashed into my drivers side door I was pretty banged up: herniated disk, whiplash and my right knee was in excruciating pain. Nothing could touch it. It was swollen for weeks with a bruise covering the whole front of it. A mess.

1

FRONT

I ended up having arthroscopy to remove the blood that would not leave my knee and to have my knee cap put back in place. After surgery and then recovery I faced life knowing that beyond have serious permanent injuries to neck and back – my right knee was going to forever hurt. Cold hurts it! Walking and standing too long hurts it! It pops and brings up pain – and playing on the ground with my three year old is a commitment because getting up hurts a lot.

BACK

Of course I had a knee brace to help but it was just one of those blue cheapies that after a couple months would stretch out and really not be beneficial anymore. I have bought several padded braces over the years – but as soon as I would get them and feel their quality I knew, like others, it wouldn’t last.

ON RIGHT KNEE

So when I had the opportunity to review another padded knee brace I wasn’t sure but was willing to give it a shot. I delayed giving the review because I was going to use it (and abuse it) to see what exactly it was made of. It felt a bit stronger in sketchiness as it didn’t give when pulling out from each side.

I have run, exercised, stood for a long duration all while wearing this padded knee brace. It provides a nice squeeze to my knee which feel really good when you have this type of injury. It still feels very strong when I pull out from both sides.

Of course, only time will tell as to how long it will last. It feels much more durable then the cheap blue ones I usually throw away after a month and a half to two months so I have positive feelings about it.

I would recommend it for those who have had knee injuries, surgeries (especially knee replacements when allowed by your doctor). The only flaw I found is that the outside fabric (like all padded knee pads I have used) allows pet hair to stick to it. All in all not really a problem but with the tight squeeze it provides unlike the others I can live with it.

YouCopia Store More Lid Holder

The StoreMore Adjustable Lid Holder makes it easy to store and organize all of your pot and pan lids in the cabinet or pantry. Save space and reduce clutter by storing lids vertically. I love this – and no more pan lids without a real home!

This smart cabinet organizer features seven wire dividers that can be adjusted to perfectly fit lids so they stay upright and separated. A deep U-shaped bend in each divider was designed to accommodate all types of handles. These dividers are really strong – not like the wire used in some that are like wire used in cheap wire coat hangers. It’s easy to find and remove one lid at a time while cooking! Coated steel wires are strong and secure, so they won’t bend, pop out or scratch lids.

A unique base design centers round lids to prevent them from rolling out. Four large soft feet keep the organizer firmly in place inside the cabinet. No mounting or installation required. This too, is a good strong plastic – not flimsy at all.

My Share: Shimmy Kahana Wallet & Keychain

Posted on by

I have been shopping for a new wallet for some time now – afraid to buy one that costs money and still won’t hold up. I came across the Shimmy Kahana Men’s Luxury wallet on Amazon and since I have free shipping with Prime and the fact that the company offers a full return I thought I would give it a shot.

walletThe wallet arrived and at first glance I am very happy. This bi-fold wallet has an attractive design with a snap cover which allows you to close the wallet tightly. It is made from genuine black cowhide so you know it is durable and has cloth-polyester jacquard fabric on the inside which provides a beautiful look to this wallet.

The inside has 6 card slots – thank goodness for this since I have lots and lots of cards! Does anyone know why they carry so many cars when most of them are never used? Never mind! It also has a clear identification slot  and a large opening for cash.

This would make a great gift for a birthday, wedding, Christmas or other special event because it looks expensive and well made and comes in a great little gift box like you would get in a nice department store. It also comes with a matching leather key fob with a very strong 0-ring to keep keys on that will never fall off.

The wallet measures 5.4” x 3.6” x 0.5” and the key chain measures 2” x 0.75 x 0.2”. Perfect gift for men, husbands, fathers, salesmen, businessmen, officials, or anyone needing an attractive wallet with excellent workmanship.

My Share: Gadget Grab

So, I was given the Gadget Grab to do a review on and couldn’t wait to share what I thought of the product. The product arrived in just three days after I was told I would be getting one to do this review – that’s impressive and immediately wanted to give props to the company and shipper for fast delivery.

The product comes in a nice tight box and I was a little scared that this is just a gadget with little quality and probably would not last long – I WAS WRONG. The product folds nice and tight which is great because you can take in on the go because it would easily fold in a pocket (small Gadget Grab used for a cell phone) or a briefcase pocket (for the large Gadget Grab used for a tablet).

I first pulled out the larger one and placed my Samsung Tab on it and placed it on my desk to be able to use that while I was working on my laptop. This item does not fold in great fear of the weight of my tablet and can easily be taken off or moved with the stand attached when needed. I usually use my Samsung Tab to look up references when I am writing so this makes this very easy. I was impressed that it was sleek and attractive and could easily go into any environment. It is a charcoal grey color over all and the part that grabs the tablet or cell phone is green.

Then I wanted to test out the smaller Gadget Grab with my Samsung Galaxy S6 (I am addicted to Samsung products). This is a big cell phone and the Gadget Grabber had not a lick of problems holding it. I put this on my desk as well – I wanted to test its ability to hold the phone for easy access to answer it when I got a phone call (my desk is always messy with file folders, stacks of papers and other items so my cell phone just laying on the desktop isn’t the best of ideas). This eliminates that problem since it kept my phone on up at an angle and did not allow anything to go on top of it.

grab 3

I really like this product and have found that I will be using it more than I thought before I received it. It is sleek and clean in design and is very functional. The quality is good and the obviously took a lot of time to develop a product that consumers will be able to use for years to come.
