First night with the detox pads! They came off really mucky and disgusting this morning (thanks for bag and wet wipe tip Liz!), so they're obviously doing something. I must admit that I didn't notice my sleep being any better, or feel any different really, but seeing that I've had a 2-day migraine and feeling pretty grim at the moment, it wouldn't be fair for me to make an assumption based on just one night's usage. So ....6 more nights to go, fingers crossed lol! Val ..... one of mine did that thing like yours, with the white bit in the middle, so I inspected it a bit more closely. I actually think it's working more and not less; although the surface had a white patch, it seemed much harder underneath so I think it's absorbed extra toxins. Just my opinion, will keep checking and reporting back! Mandy :)

Morning all .... i only got a five nite course with the make i bought have used them for four nites first three nites not a great deal as in gunk lol but last nite wore them from heel to middle of foot and boy what a lot this morning .... interesting cos i am suffering and have been since last august with heel pain (having a ultra sound on them in August) so will place in same spot tonite and see what happens ..... fingers crossed they will relieve the pain .... question please anyone know if one can purchase these say from boots etc .... hope so cos want to continue having had good result last nite Patricia xxxx

I haven't seen them in a chemist Patricia, but haven't looked either, but guess they would cost much more than the £11.49 we pay for 14 pads anyway. If anyone can't use e-bay and wants them, let me know and can give you the companies direct address to send for them. I was a naughty girl last night, having been out late last night, I didn't put any on.

hello valice ... thanx for your reply ... would you send me the address please ... thanx ... Patricia xxx

Got a free pack yesterday from Dail Mail think the offer was in end of last week not tried them yet Norah ps just had a look at them on 2 in the packet ah well!

Just a quick reply for now, I have searched the Chemists for months and been unable to source any pads so don't waste time trying at the mo, unless you really have the spare time. I am wondering whether to get a large amount and then I can send some off to whoever needs them if they don't use ebay. Will add more tonight. Liz

Just looked at the packet I've got Slim 'n' go and they say they are in the high st shops?? but they sell £12+ for 5 days or £25 for 3pkts. Think Liz I would be interested in your idea or else there phone no Norah

thanks nolls and purple .... like i said ones i got were 5 day course will be using last one tonite ..... would like to continue with them tomorrow and i have to go into town so will look .... am going to london next tuesday for 3 days as a surprise for doing her alevels and got a lot planned .... and know i am going to struggle, methinks i will be sitting whilst she wanders round harrod, harvey nics etc .... been looking at the diagram on where the pressure points relevant to area's of one's body and can understand why was so much gunk in them this morning .... sorry cannot think of another word to use lol ....

I would say that the recommendation is to use only 1 course, followed by another in 4 weeks, not every night for weeks on end.

I mailed the company I got my pads from and asked if it was best to use the pads continuously or just do a short 'course' They have mailed back to say 'it is best to use them constantly night after night', but 'first time users may find a break helps them adapt to the pace of the detoxification pads.' So certainly worth trying for more than a few days. Has anyone noticed they felt any different after using the pads? Liz

Hyah .... placed them in same place last nite as in heel to mid instep and well full this morning .... going into town shortly ... hope i can get some more .... am going to be walking a lot next week whilst in london so would love them to have worked and trust i would be able to tell ... Patricia xxx

hyah .... just got back from town ... not got them in boots or superdrug although at boots did say they new there had been a feature on them this week in some magazine or other .... so i got none sob :o((( xxxxx

It does say that you might not notice any change first time of using course. I think changes must be very subtle. Used 5th pad on heel to foot, good result, 6th pad, sole to middle, one of these came out hard white corner where centre of foot was. Next night didn't use one as wouldn't be able to wear it long enough. Last night was final pad night, I decided to try on my thighs, this morning the pads were clear, with powder still loose inside, so have kept them to use again underfoot tonight. Am I waking up more refreshed? is my tummy slightly flatter? is there another reason for this or my imagination? who knows !!

re-used the last of my pads last night on my heels, and worked fine there, adhesive wasn't so sticky, so wore pair of footlets.

I have been watching a few of the Fern Britton progs on tv at lunchtime - Looking Good, Feeling Great, at 1.30 and the one on Friday is all about detox diets so might be worth watching. Several magazines are advertising the pads in a small feature,but not the ones Val and I used. Anyone need the address do contact me. Will certainly be using them again when I get round to sending off for more. Liz

Found out that H & B are selling the detox pads but they are expensive - 14 pads for £25. Ok if you can't wait to get them by post. Liz

Val, have they done anything for you do you think? Must order some more for when I get back from Sussex. Liz

just looked at the d&i site and found it very interesting. Will be considering it.

Anyone looked on E-bay? I bought a weeks course for £8. Tried them for 3 days so far. Work best on the ball of my foot rather than in the middle. I find they are pretty mucky when I take them off, but haven't particularly noticed my feeling any better yet. Claire xx

I did wonder if i was waking up more refreshed, however with the g'kids visiting over the w/end, i'm feeling shattered now! lol They must be doing something, as they don't work on all areas, hence can't get mucky just by being in contact with the skin.
