Conair Deluxe Massaging Foot Spa

Relax and energize hardworking feet with the Conair deluxe massaging foot spa. Designed for wet or dry use, the spa features built-in foot-massaging tools and vibration, bubbles, and water-jet settings. You can use any setting by itself or in combination with the other two for a total of seven options. Functions are controlled with a simple foot-operable touch-pad and marked with indicator lights. A heating feature is also included to maintain the temperature of warm water. In addition to the water functions, the unit’s foot beds are lined with low bumps to massage the entire sole of the foot. Two removable deep-kneading rollers in the base are perfect for massaging insteps and heels, while a contoured tool on the divider provides a restorative massage to arches. A comfortable and sturdy design, the spa is easy to carry and maneuver and comes with convenient power cord hooks. A transparent shield minimizes splashing. –Emily Bedard
Customer Review: RELAXING AND REVIVING MASSAGER
Purchased the foot spa massager for husband’s anniversary present. He is a distance runner and loves it. Has used it 5 times since purchasing and it makes his feet feel great.
Customer Review: Not as impressive in-person
This review covers the FB11NR: same unit with slightly different control pushbuttons and with an IR remote.

Somehow, i had deluded myself into thinking that the spinning massagers under each foot were powered. Nope… basically just built-in plastic versions of those usually wooden massaging rollers that one rolls one’s foot upon. That’s fine, yet when i want to relax, i’m not thinking about moving my feet. Fortunately, those are removable, and removal is exactly what happened.

Anal Massage for Relaxation and Pleasure

Customer Review: Amazing Resource
This video is very well done. It takes you step by step through techniques of massage and anatomical instruction. It really is for the beginner. If you are new to this sort of play, then you will find this resource very reassuring and encouraging.

If you are already well versed, then this video will focus you on the soft, intimate side of “backdoor” play. This video does contain nudity, but is not vulgar or pornographic. Sincere adults of all kinds will enjoy it.
Customer Review: Anal Delight
I can’t stop shivering. This is the best product on the market and a wonderful stocking stuffer. Speaking of stuffing, I have opened a whole new world of pleasure and relaxation. All of my female room mates are in love with this DVD. We have experienced hours of pleasure and wake up feeling relaxed and rejuvinated. Don’t hesitate to purchase this for the holidays. My hand and arm are tired, but with the aid of lube, air freshner and and enormous condom, now everynight is a friday night! Thanks Anal Massage! What a load off!

Job’s Body : A Handbook for Bodywork (Third Edition)

Possibly the most famous and widely used resource in therapeutic bodywork (required for national massage therapy certification), this beautifully written, detailed, and reader-friendly picture of how and why the body responds to touch is both scientifically reliable and inspiring. Furthering the presentation of recent research in biochemistry, cell biology, and energy medicine in the Second Edition, this new update includes advances in neurophysiology and physics, reconfiguring knowledge of mind and body, from “microgenesis” to “quantum consciousness.” A rare book that fits general reader as much as professional and student.

Customer Review: Great Resource
I have a friend who is pregnant and needs massage therapy. I’m still in school for my licence but am practicing at home as I go through school. I bought this video tape to learn how to massage while keeping her comfortable and not hitting those pressure points I’ve heard about that can cause contractions. I learned a lot of really good techniques and there is a lot of good streching involved in this tape. I didn’t use everything I learned in the video, but the table set up, posturing and foot and leg massages were what really did the trick. I’ll warn you – the tape is DRY! Nothing exciting about the way these two people present. That is why it doesn’t get 5 stars.

Overall – my friend/client was comfortable the entire time, felt fully relaxed and stretched when the massage was complete. I would reccommend this video. The proof is in the work and a happy client and I had a great expereince with that! Click here for more info on this massage product

So whether you’re watching the ball game, reading a book, sitting at the PC, or just lounging around, these slippers add an extraordinary treat to whatever you do.
Customer Review: no good
I bought this item, but amazon sent me a wrong item. the one they sent me looked exactly the same, but it was without the heating pads as shown in the picture. even the replacement was the same.so i think amazon doesnt carry this version of the slipper at all. and they are ok, not a very good quality. mine had a button to press to have a vibrating action, which was by the way does not have much massaging effect. so overall, a poorly made proiduct in my opinion. the sole is also hard and not flexible enough for walking around when you are not using the massage.
