There are things I like and things I don't care for.
What I like is that the ease of the roller ball, and the hardness of it, allows you to roll right over your clothing... so if you do not feel like getting undressed (other than after a shower, or any other reason why you are not clothed), it seems like it is still effective even thru "average" wight clothing. I am sitting here with sweatpants and a thermal shirt on, and the rolling motion is still felt thru my garbs. The instructions on the box do not say anything about "skin," and just mentions "affected areas."<br /><br />Now I will go the opposite direction with this... let's now assume I am now in only my birthday suit, and I want to rub in a lymphatic massage oil, or any other herbal oil or body butter... can I use this roller to roll over or to apply something to my skin that also helps my lymphatic fluids to move? The directions on the box that this ships in do not mention anything about using this product with oils or creams. THEN i did just look at the sales/info order page here on Amazon and it does mention using it with these products. I only checked here to double check it's usage. Good to know, but I with this was printed on the box or came as an inserted instruction. But, now I know and will proceed to try that!<br /><br />The only other negative that I noticed, and this is probably just me, but I felt my soft tissue on my upper outer arm kind of hurt, like light bruising, after rolling this over that area a few times. That sore feeling did go away after a couple minutes. I got this becasue I have lymphedema swelling and liquid retention  mostly in my left leg, becasue I had uterine cancer and 50+ lymph nodes removed 16 years ago. My arms are fine, but I do have fibromyalgia sensitivities, so that is probably why this would have felt like it hurt. (Kinda dumb observation on my part I admit, being that I am the one who controls the pressure! Not the fault to the product! But I guess it doen't take much pressure to use this ball, and that can be a good thing.) THis said, compared to other lymph massagers, like wooden U shaped sticks and wands, they tend to massage up a larger and flatter swath, involving more skin area with each stroke. This one is more like a rolling acupressure point. I an not tell which method moves the lymph better... I am going to guess this is personal preference.
