Review (4/5): These work amazingly well for a deep sleep and reducing inflammation!
THESE PADS WORK! Here’s the thing..the black residue is NOT detoxed chemicals from your body, and actually none of these companies have explicitly said that they are so don’t listen to people who claim that’s what makes these bogus. What they do is pull all the excess moisture from your body which reduces inflammation, while your body is pulling in the minerals in the pads through the pores in your feet which in turn has a lot of positive effects.
In my experience these help TREMENDOUSLY with sleep. I fall asleep within 20 minutes of putting these on and sleep far deeper than I normally do, and I wake up extremely refreshed when I am normally groggy for a while. I also notice my back and sciatica pain is decreased during the periods I am using these.
The one downside to these pads in particular is the smell. These have a strong BBQ smell (like a lot of other brands do), which I personally hate but it’s honestly worth dealing with for the quality of sleep I am getting. There are other brands I’ve tried that don’t smell and those didn’t work as well.
Hot tip: these won’t stick as well if your feet are dirty at all so keep some unscented baby wipes next to the bed, clean your feet with them real quick, wipe them with a hand towel to make sure they’re dry and then apply the pads. In the morning you can grab another wipe and get all the residue off your feet before showering. Another huge plus to this brand is that they definitely stay stuck to my feet the entire night!
Hope that’s helpful to whoever stuck with reading this! These really are amazing and I swear by them :)
