An obliging father-to-be performs head-to-toe (actually, toe-to-head) massage on his appreciative partner in this too-good-to-be-true instructional video. Still, it’s worth a shot at guilting your partner into one of the three massages described in detail by massage therapist Michelle Kluck as the couple demonstrates each stroke. Much of the 25-minute video is dedicated to the feet and legs, as Kluck emphasizes the therapeutic benefit on the onslaught of symptoms a pregnant woman deals with in these body parts–leg cramps, edema, varicose veins, stretch marks, and such. Time is also spent on a back and shoulder massage and one for the head and neck. Kluck outlines the special conditions of a prenatal rubdown (no lying on the back or stomach, etc.) and on- screen graphics pop up to show reflexology points and a cutaway view of the pregnant body. Kluck asserts that massage can prevent many prenatal ailments without backing up her claim, but you don’t have to tell your partner that part. –Kimberly Heinrichs
Customer Review: Fabulous Pregnancy Massage!
I loved this video. My husband found it very easy to follow and he gave me a wonderful massage on my legs & feet, back & shoulders and my head & neck. The music was very relaxing and the techniques were clear and easy to understand. I felt great and he was so happy to bring me some relief during my last few months of pregnancy. I highly recommend this video to all pregnant couples! Click here for more info on this massage product

Customer Review: Misting shower head
WaterPik does deliver all the functionality the product claims, and that is the widest assortment of sprays ever packed into one shower head. That is why the shower head is quite large and requires some extra effort to select a spray mode from the many available, particularily in the pre-8AM hours. The misting option does produce a very fine steam-like mist, but after turning the knob about a dozen times to fully engage that mode, you must also increase the hot water to regain a warm shower. It is more involved than the standard model, which has spoiled us for years. The only complaint is that the spray select knob is small and somewhat difficult to turn with soap on it, or with a week grip.
Customer Review: Older model better
The older model has a showerhead which allows a 360 degree rotation to adjust height/ angle. This model does not, and is poor for shorter individuals. The powersaver filter reducesless mist and strength of the massage. The hand-held cord is bulky and gets in the way… Click here for more info on this massage product
