Health care tools for summer
One of the more exciting parts of being a wellness editor is discovering and testing new products—the best of which make it to retail.

“Saying a vibrator is so pretty that you’ll leave it on your nightstand is like a bride telling you you’re going to wear a bridesmaid dress for so many other things. It rarely or never happens. The Viva la Vulva was the first vibrator I actually left on my bedroom vanity. I mean, look at her. She is so cute. I love the color, the little golden globe you hold, the compact size, and the intuitive use. And I’m all for one-button devices. You press the power button to cycle through 10 vibration options — 3 steady intensities and 7 patterns. The models continue to amaze me: They are different from other vibrators I have tried. And then there’s Viva’s unique arch shape. Smash the curve into your body and you’ll feel why it’s shaped the way it is. “

“When I saw ‘Pure Delight Orgasm Balm’ on the list of new products, I didn’t hesitate to ask for a sample. You put a little bit on your clitoris before a sexual act and within minutes you’ll feel a tingling sensation. It enhances your sensitivity, and for me, it leads to more intense orgasms. It is made with essential oils and menthol extracts. The texture is super silky, smooth and leaves you satisfied. “

“Sometimes I catch myself dropping pasta into the bubbling pot for dinner, thinking about the fight I had with my ex years ago, still a little angry. I cannot say that I protest kindly or forgive easily. So when I read my therapist Terry Real’s new book, where he talks a lot about how to get rid of the stereotypical me versus you with your partner—a relationship killer. usually — I’ve seen light bulbs go out everywhere. I’m not in a relationship right now, but it got me thinking about why I want to come to the party next time. “

“I’m a girl with SPF 50, big hat, street girl type. So when I had some blood tests done a few years ago and my doctor told me my vitamin D levels were a problem, I knew supplements were the answer. I’ve tried a few, and what I like about vitamin D chocolate from FX Chocolate is that there’s a chocolate that doesn’t feel like taking another supplement. It’s a sweet after-lunch snack that contains 2,000 IU of vitamin D and a generous dose of vitamin K. “

“HealthyLine hits the ball out of the park with this dramatic rug. The 18 x 18 inch rug is the perfect size to move to any part of the body that needs attention and for me right now, it’s my feet. The heat from the semi-precious stones – jade, tourmaline, amethyst and obsidian – helps promote muscle relaxation and blood circulation to carry nutrients and remove waste products. Press the photon button for red light treatment and the PEMF button for low frequency electromagnetic fields — currently a hot topic in tissue and bone health research. “

“I started playing rugby a few months ago, and I tend to overdo it; My right knee started to bother me. I almost accept that it will just be a repeat thing. Then I tested PowerDot, which uses electrical stimulation to temporarily relieve muscle pain caused by stress during exercise and daily activity. A 20-minute study session helped a lot. I just connected a PowerDot case to the app via Bluetooth and followed the instructions for the knee program, which included placing three of the adhesive electrode pads in a specific shape and connecting the case to the pads with a set of cables. It was a strange feeling, almost like a tingling, but not unpleasant. And you can adjust the intensity level from your phone on the go. Now I use it a few times a week after I compete.”

“I am the Goldilocks of multivitamin supplements: Every time I try a new one, I find reason to hate it. They either smell so bad that it’s immediately unbelievable, or the capsules are so big that I dread swallowing them every day (and you know how that story ends). And then there’s the recipe itself: I need a multivitamin that replaces many of the supplements on my shelf for it to be worth it. Our science and research team tested all of my boxes with this one — the capsules are on the small side, they don’t smell weird and they contain the vitamins, nutrients and minerals I want to use. daily. Iron in particular, is included in a form that is gentle on the stomach. ”*
