~I'm a high school student who suffers from insomnia and very bad menstrual cramps. My mom had gotten me my green toasty rabbit in an effort to help my cramps and help me get to sleep better and it worked. I now cant go anywhere without [Rosemary] and I'm not sure how I would survive my school schedule that I have with the lack of sleep I was getting. I recommend all toasty bear products to everyone- I loved my bunny so much that I bought my best friend, she's a ski racer, a toasty pig to help heal her soar muscles! Jen – Colorado

~I get terrible migraines, and it’s especially difficult because I’m a stay-at-home mother of three. When I get a migraine, it wipes me out and I get very stressed because I’m stuck in bed. This only makes the migraine worse. My sister gave me a Christine James Eye Pillow to try, and I was really surprised at how well it worked. It cut the pain and helped me relax, and the migraine seemed to pass more quickly than usual. I want one of my own, but I’m a bear collector, so I also want a Toasty Bear …hint, hint.

Studies show that menstrual cramps can be eased with heat therapy. Warm a Sootheze product in the microwave and place it on your lower abdomen to spread soothing, radiant heat throughout the affected area. The aroma therapy also eases irritability, emotional stress and other PMS symptoms.

Sootheze products provide cold therapy without the burning, uncomfortable cold associated with ice packs. Body Wraps and Toasty Collars work especially well because they are longer and can wrap around a knee, leg, arm or neck. 

~My 2 year old son suffers from severe headaches. They occur everyday, all day. He vomits from pain, can't sleep, he whines all day begging for help. It breaks my heart. Medication has not given him any relief. He is presently seeing specialists and facing a multitude of tests. I took him to a store that sold your products and explained that these animals would help him feel better. He was so excited. He picked out the dolphin. He was very proud to show his big brother and sister. He made every smell his new friend. Heat is the one thing I have found that offers him comfort/relief. It makes both of us feel so much better. He is able to find some relief form his pain, and I am able to help my baby. Thank you. - Cheryl Smith

~My child is very active. Sometimes he gets overly excited and I have to give him a timeout. I warm up his Toasty Bear and turn it into a positive, relaxing experience for him instead of a punishment. And it really does help to calm him down. - Anonymous

~Several customers have come to me and said their children love their Sootheze at bedtime because they stay warm for so long. I’m particularly fond of the pink, blue, yellow and chartreuse bunnies at Easter because the weight on their bottoms is so much like holding a baby. It just feels right to cuddle them.- Amanda T. – manager of the Body Department at a large supermarket

~I just had to email and let you know how wonderful your bears are. My little boy had to have surgery yesterday, and I got him the (Toasty Sassy) bear as a surprise. He loves it, and its warmth and cuteness comforted him and made him feel protected. It reminds me of a having a warm puppy sleeping in your lap. Thanks so much for your product, and for making yesterday easier on a little boy. – Lauri G. via e-mail
