Thought I would start this thread so we can all compare the results and effects of the detox pads tried recently or in the future. Liz

Also add any tips you might have: 1. Make sure you have cleaned your feet and they are dry, before putting the pads on. They won't stick on so well if your feet are grubby, sweaty, or damp. 2. Wear thin socks over them so they stay on your feet. Also, the heat helps them work more effectively. 3. Have some wet wipes close to the bed, so you can take the pads off and clean your feet before walking across the carpet/floor to the bathroom, and a plastic bag to throw the used pads in cos they are yukky. Personally I think the ones I used were good and I will be trying them again, I have been in direct contact with the people who sell them, and they are very helpful. Am thinking of buying a large amount and letting friends try them, works out cheaper that way. Have fun, Liz

Hi...I have never heard of 'Detox pads'. What are they and what are they supposed to do? Trifley

Complicated to explain fully to anyone who has not heard of them, just google and there will be diagrams etc as well as lists of ingredients.

Hi liz sounds very interesting Rosex

Best price found on e bay, at a Buy now price of £11.49 which includes the postage for 14 pads. You wear one on each foot every night for 7 nights, and it is suggested that you repeat this once a month for as long as you wish. Removes toxins from the body, via reflexology points in the feet. Have got mine to try yet.

Me used some detox pads this week and I have slept better than I have in years but other than that i haven't felt any different!! Do agree with the wet wipes thing tho...... but haven't worn socks with mine and they have stayed on every night!! xx

Hi purple i got some off ebay this week .... not started them yet ... intend to tomorrow nite ... will let u know ... wot make did u get can i ask xxxxx

Valice kindly ordered mine when she sent for hers,(thanks Val) through ebay, but I can now order direct from the company. Use the d word I wrote and add an 'i' to the end of it and then add *co*uk (change * to .) I asked them some questions and they have mailed me back very quickly. I will certainly be getting further supplies from them to detox some more. Am feeling 'different' at the moment but have other factors to take into account too, so will let you know further when I can pinpoint improvements or otherwise more accurately. Good luck, Liz

Had my first pads on last night, worn on centre sole part of foot, was quite surprised this morning, to find only light brown round edges of pad, with hard white lump in middle, so either i'm not very toxic, or got high insole which pad didn't reach my foot properly. Will try again tonight on different part of foot.

Val, hi, sounds like you are pure as the driven snow!!! lol Have another go and make sure the pad is in contact with your sole, also shake them to even out the powder before you put them on, and wear a sock to warm up your foot even more. good luck, LIz

Hi Liz Yes I did shake the powder to even it up, and I did wear socks!

I'm very tempted by the thought of having a better night's sleep! My sleep is one of the worst things about this illness so I'd be happy to buy these pads just for that one thing. Do they really work or would those ingredients turn the pads brown by themselves, without being stuck to your feet? Mandy :)

Sorry Val, wasn't trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs!! More trying to labour the points of showing others how to use them if they have never tried before. Hope you have better results this time. Hi Mandy, Well I think Val has shown the answer to your question, cos her's didn't 'turn' so methinks they must do something. When I had the acupuncture a few weeks ago, I was given some herbal tablets to take to help detox my liver, and the smell, sort of tobaccoey was the same as the pads smell. Will certainly be trying some more. Will keep you all posted on results when I do. Liz

Tried my second dose of pads last night, this time on my heel to cover the legs zone, as have some cellulitis on my thighs. This morning the pads were a light brown all over, and had a sticky feel like adhesive plaster. Would I be right in saying that anyone with a lot of detoxification to do, would have more black pads with a slime on them? Incidentally, I can't comment on the sleeping aspect, as I sleep well anyway. Purple and I have the Premium Gold patches from e-bay.

Hi Valice, My pads ended up a kind of khaki coloured sticky stuff all over the pad and some of it even oozed out of the side of the adhesive. I wore mine for 10 hours as it suggests 8 to 10 and I am always asleep for a long period, or at least in bed that long. Sounds as tho you are pretty clear of toxins - might be worth mailing detoxi to ask what this means. Will be ordering some more soon and trying them elsewhere like my thighs and upper arms for instance. Will let you know when I do and what reaction I get. By the way, can't send the garden pics till o.h. around - I can't find them. Liz

Hi Liz Ordered a week's supply of pads direct from Detoxi on Tuesday evening (as you suggested, thanks), I thought the price was very good and they arrived today. Can't wait to try them out tonight, and will make sure I have plastic bag and wet wipes to hand! Will let you know how I get on in a few days' time. Mandy :)

got the same result on ball of foot as did on heel, last night it was back to the middle, so very carefully, held pad into arch of foot whilst sticking round, and still came up with a white middle. so guess i'll skip the middle bit in future.

Interesting the way yours work(or not) in the middle part of your foot Val. Can I just say that I contacted the detox add an i company with a query and they soon got back to me, redirecting the company's reply. I thought that was quite impressive and the fast delivery is good too. How are others getting on with theirs? Diana? Anyone else? Will be interesting to hear from you Mandy. I think when I went on the site, it said something about feeling more tired than usual to begin with. If they work and we sleep better eventually they will be worth it, Mandy, won't they? I am still suffering my vivid dreams and unrefreshing sleep at the moment, think I need to use the pads for more than a week. Liz

Hi Liz, I've tried body wraps, but not detox pads. I did take a look at them on e-bay when getting the wraps but wasn't sure about them. I'm tempted to try them now though, as people seem to be getting good results. :)
