Fits weird and pinches my nose.
The first thing I noticed upon opening this was that it looked weird, compared to other eye massagers I've tried. That would be because it has acupressure nodes built right into the face of it, instead of covering them up the way other units do.<br /><br />At first I thought that meant it might not be as noisy as other units. That part, as it turned out, is debatable; it doesn't have the same SOUND as the ones that rely on air compression but I'm still hearing the motors turning those nodes around. It wasn't loud, I'm just thinking that making these things quiet is a case of the technology not catching up with the idea.<br /><br />Anyway, second thing I noticed is the fit. How well it works for you depends on your face shape, but this was one of the awkward ones for me--the massager was actually too small to leave room for a suitable position for the strap, resulting in me having to either sit the massager too high on my face to make the strap hold it in place properly or have the strap push down (and past!) my ears to make the massager sit in the right spot. Also, there must be a more significant difference between this and the kneading on other massagers than "the nodes are not covered" because I went through every mode and every one involved pinching my nose.<br /><br />And the third thing I noticed... it takes a long time for it to warm up enough to feel it. I was about ready to turn this thing off by the time it actually started feeling hot enough to use as a "hot compress."<br /><br />The unit did seem to help stave off the migraine before it had a chance to grow into anything truly painful, though.
