So last night I really padded myself out. I wore Purify Your Body’s detoxing pads on the bottom of my feet. But why stop there? Most of my pain is in my knees. I had the Kinoki foot pads I originally bought first…so why not? I strapped those puppies to the back of my knees. Since the skin is thin back there, it’s a spot that you can put the pads. BUT THERE’S MORE! I have these Cellulite pads, so I slapped those on my rear-end.
Sex kitten, I was not. Needless to say, the hubby didn’t have any ideas last night. In fact, he said it looked like I just had some kind of surgery.
Let me tell you a little more about the pads themselves. They’re sturdier than you think. Especially around the corners. In fact, the corners are pretty-darn stiff. I’ll see if I can explain here about what I had going on. I centered the pad over the bend of the back of my knee. That folded the pad in half. Or so I had hoped. 
Remember the stiffness…yeah, me too. One of those corners jabbed me in the back of the leg most of the night. I know, I know, most would have just ripped the things off, but then I would have had to get out of bed to wipe off the gunk and sticky stuff the bandage left behind. (*the big square in the pic is the bandage, the little one is the pad*)
Getting out of bed is the last thing an insomniac wants to do (side effect of my FMS). So I toughed it out and eventually fell asleep.
Next morning comes along. I roll over and searing pain rips through my rear-end. Remember the cellulite pads I stuck to my bottom? Since I don’t wear granny panties, the corners of the pad was exposed. And that exposed part attached itself to my sheets somehow during the night. I don’t move much in my sleep, so when I woke up and rolled over…the pad stuck to the sheet and ripped hide from my backside. Not how I planned to loose those extra pounds, but it’ll work. (BTW if you’re curious, not having much success with these pads, but I haven’t been using them regularly)
Remember that sensitive skin I told you about on the back of the knees? Fun, fun, fun when I tore the detoxing bandage off this morning. Again, I’ll loose weight any way I can. But my pads there weren’t hardly dirty at all. Just a tiny bit of darkness and no gunky stuff. Certainly not enough there for the crappy night and the trouble of removing them the next morning.
The Purify’s on the bottom of my feet were nasty, nasty again. Next time, I’m going to keep on with the Purify’s in the center of my foot. I’m going to line the top and bottom with the Kinoki and see what happens there.
The things we’ll do, huh? Ever done anything painful in the name of beauty? I wax my bikini line in the summer (as in I do it myself). That was a learn as you go event. Anybody else trying these things yet? How are they working for you?

Okay, Keri,
All I can say is your are soo brave. Unfortunately, I’m not talking about using the pads, (Though you have sympathies about them) I’m talking about doing your own waxing. That reminds me of a very funny story. Hmmm…I’m going to have to blog about that one.
Have a great day. And hey, I hope you dropped a few pounds. Not a good way to do it, but a positive side effect.

Hey, Christie. I have to do it myself. The hubby refuses to help me! He won’t even be in the same room or…er, help hold the skin tight. He says it sounds like I’m pulling apart velcro. *g*
I get pretty stupid sometimes in the name of beauty. My december month on fridays might have to be devoted to that. Trust me…you’ll need the time to practice from December to Summer to get you ready for that swimsuit!
I’m still not sure what you are “detoxing” out of your feet. I’ve been seeing these pads everywhere.
This is how I saw it explained, the bottom of your feet are like tree roots. Everything in your body goes to the bottom of your feet. The stuff in the pads are supposed to be pulling the heavy toxins and such out of your body. Things that we get because of our society. Like the chemicals you take in from drinking out of a plastic bottle. These pads are filtering that stuff out.
Hi Keri! I’ve been keeping up with your blog, but haven’t commented yet. I’m really interested in trying these pads out, and I admit I laughed aloud when you said you were a sex kitten all padded up!
Great blog! I love it
Hi, Eliza. I swear I tried to take a picture of myself, not of my rear-end, I’ll spare ya’ll that sight!, but of the back of my knees and bottom of my feet. But the angle made my thighs look like 5 gallon buckets. Lord I hope it was just the angle!
thanks for chatting with me!
