5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply Moisturizing, January 18, 2007

Warm paraffin is so comforting in the winter when your hands and feet can start to dry out. This can also work well in drier conditions in the summer, but I seem to use it more in the winter. You may also notice your feet needing extra attention in the summer months due to wearing open shoes.

I've tried a few paraffin baths and this one has quite a few more options:

1. Fast Heat-Up Time Option - put this on before you get in the bath and by the time you are ready for bed, the wax is warm enough to dip your hands or feet. Perfect to also get your feet warm on cold nights.

2. Adjustable Heat Settings - Keep Warm is an excellent option if you are not in a hurry. It warms the paraffin to the perfect temperature. When using "Hi or Med" you may want to turn the heat back down to "keep warm" before dipping your hands. The wax can get a little hotter than you may wish on the highest setting. It is designed so it heats fast and then you can let it cool down a bit.

3. Thermal Mitts - These may be included with your order. Some kits come with a brush (mine didn't) and some with other lovely extras. I wish they just made them all the same, but mine did arrive with glove liners.

So, this paraffin bath is perfect year round. While you can find smaller paraffin baths (one sitting on the bathroom counter is nice), the larger size is more versatile if you only want to buy one and also want this for your feet.

When the paraffin wax starts getting low, you can reorder more wax and add it to the bath as needed. They do advise that you throw away the wax you have used, instead of adding it back to the bath.

To use, simply dip your hand, elbow or food into the warm melted wax and then dip again so you get two coats.

You will feel as if you just put on a warm glove. Now, to increase the benefit of the heat, I first put on some great hand cream and then dip my hands. That way the cream is absorbed and your hands feel soft and smooth.

You can slip your hands into the disposable gloves and sit and watch TV for 15 minutes. Then, slip off the wax - which is now hardened on your hand.

A few paraffin hand dips at a salon will cost you more than one paraffin bath, so it is worth the initial cost of purchasing your own and you can also use it before a manicure to help your cuticles. Put some almond or vitamin E oil on your nails and cuticles and then dip your hands, the results are amazing!

This kit comes with 4 lbs of paraffin wax, but you may want to order more at the start so you have it when it is needed. Of all the units I've tried over the years, I like the color of the lavender lid the best. With the various heat options, I feel like this is one of the best paraffin baths I've owned.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wax Relief, March 8, 2007

Product is very good as size allows for hands and feet. Cord is long enough to set unit on floor to use for feet; unit is shaped for secure pick up when moving melted wax. It could be a bit deeper, perhaps more narrow in shape, to keep skin from contacting bottom of unit. A plastic divider is provided for this, but complicates cleaning of unit.

I'm getting up in years, so the aches and pains are multiplying. Paraffin baths are excellent for creaky hands. Just dip your hands until you have a nice thick glove (I like about 12 layers), put on the plastic mitt and then the terrycloth mitt, then go park somewhere for 15 minutes. I use it 2-3 times per week and it really makes a difference. The fast-heat setting is great, it's ready in about 90 minutes.

The paraffin is a good moisturizer so you get a double benefit. It's large enough for my feet, but I think if I ever want to wax my feet I'm going to get a separate unit.

Plain old paraffin from the grocery store works fine. I like the lavender-scented blocks that come with it.
