Luster 1-Hour Tooth Whitening System

(Simon) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:18:29 +0000

Crest Whitestrips every night, and we don't have the cash for a professional whitening job. So we're curious about the $40 Luster 1-hour home tooth whitening kit. The company claims your teeth will get up to 6 shades whiter in just 1 hour. First you have to use the included mouth rinse for 10 seconds. Then you put the (safe-on-your-enamel) whitening gel on your teeth and aim the battery-operated "whitening light" at your teeth for 2 minutes at a time. It sounds a bit tedious, but worth it if it works. If you've tried it, let us know what you think, in the comments section.]]>

The StressEraser

(Simon) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:30:00 +0000

StressEraser. This portable medical device first measures your pulse. If your pulse is too high, the StressEraser prompts you to slow and deepen each breath, which slows down your pulse and makes your body relax. It's got on-screen visual prompts as well as audio tones, so you can use it in the dark or with your eyes closed. And it tracks your "performance" so you can understand your own stress triggers. The company recommends you use it for 15 minutes before you go to sleep, and whenever you are feeling stressed out.]]>

Neti Pots for Sinus Irrigation

(Simon) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:30:00 +0000

neti pot. You fill it with water, stick it up your nose, and flush out your nasal cavity. It sounds disgusting, but it's safe (they've been doing it in India for hundreds of years), and we wish we'd had one last weekend when we were in Steamboat Springs, CO for a wedding at 9,000 feet and our sinuses felt like sandpaper. We also wish we had brought along some anti-anxiety meds for that harrowing gondola ride up the mountain, but that's another story.]]>

GoateeSaver, a new shaving device that helps men with daily grooming. The GoateeSaver is not a razor. It is a plastic mouthpiece. You bite down on the orange tabs in the back, adjust the mouthpiece so that it covers all the facial hair you want to keep, and then just shave around it. It sounds like a fast and easy way to get a perfectly symmetrical goatee. And it's only $20.]]>

Betty Beauty Hair Dye

(Simon) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:27:00 +0000

Betty Beauty, a product that's getting tons of attention (People magazine, NYC subway ads, etc.) because it's for dying "the hair down there." Supposedly it's for covering (male or female) grey hair, which is why it comes in black, brown, auburn, blonde, and hot pink. It's also supposed to be safer than regular hair dye, and will last 4-5 weeks. Call us prudes, but we think we'll stick with nail polish and tattoos, thanks.]]>

(Simon) — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:00:00 +0000

Ultreo. This power toothbrush combines ultrasound technology and sonic bristle action to create microbubbles that remove hard-to-reach plaque, improve gum health, reduce stains for naturally whiter teeth, and let you know if your baby's a boy or a girl. OK, maybe not that last part. But people love it. One reviewer says her "hygienist was amazed when she cleaned my teeth after I had used my Ultreo for three months." More toothbrushes.]]>

no!no! Hair Removal Device

(Simon) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:56:00 +0000

no!no! hair removal device might be for you. The no!no! (which is short for "no hair! no pain!") uses heat to destroy hair. There's no pain, discomfort, or in-grown hairs; just the odor of your hair burning. Designed to reduce hair density, the no!no! is not a miracle cure for unwanted hair and won't give you silky smooth skin overnight, but over time you should notice a difference.]]>
