Scholl i pop vibrating massager.

 

 

Before I say anymore, this, no matter how rude it looks, is not a vibrator! I was going to leave these photos to the imagination because they do look fairly rude and to be honest I couldn't even look the poor checkout girl in the eye when I was buying it! But, it is in fact not a vibrator, it's my new little toy I bought in the January sales last week!

 

This is a Scholl I Pop Vibrating Massager. It retails for £19.99 but I managed to get it in Argos for £7.99 which I think is a great price for it.

 

I bought it mainly as an aid to my recovery over the next few weeks from my operation and thought it would be good to help get the gas out from my back. I've also been using it on my tummy the last few days to get the blood moving around (to stop blood stagnation). It feels lovely on my tum. A bit painful in places but its gentle enough still and it really helps to relax my muscles there.

I wouldn't really call it a massager as such because it only vibrates but because of its long handle and flexible neck, you can get to all those hard to reach places. It has two 'massage' programmes and also infra red heat for deep muscle relaxation. The first programme is slower and uses heat also. The second programme has a faster vibration with no heat.

The heat setting is very low - it probably comes from a mixture of both the 'infra-red' and the friction on the skin. But you can notice the difference when it is on. I have read some other reviews online that say there is no heat - but there is.

It's quite light and as it runs on batteries (4 AA size) it's portable also so great to travel with or keep in the car. It also comes in a variety of eye popping colours!

I'd definitely recommend it for a cheap massager. I'm not sure I would have paid £19.99 for it because you can get much better actual massagers for only around £10.00 more. But for £7.99 it's a bargain and my body is certainly appreciating it at the moment.
