Electric massage contraptions

[grinningghost]

So I got this body-length pad that you lay on, and it's supposed to give you a great massage from legs to upper back.

Well, you know what? All it does is vibrate and scramble my brains. No massage at all.

I can't take it back, as the giver will surely come over and ask to try it.

Did you ever get one of these massagers that doesn't massage - it only vibrates?

Nope. It doesn't even qualify for that.

Ooh, I hate those vibrating ones. Homemedics makes one that has the shiatsu massage - really feels like someone is kneading your back. It's wonderful! I got one last year for Christmas, and this year I bought one for my dad and one for my MIL.

My husband got me one and meant well--alas it just sits in my closet 3 or 4 years later.

I LOVE my shiatsu massager....the old one quit working twice--and the third time I finally replaced it.

I don't get those vibrating mats--I guess for someone's whose muscles aren't all whacked out like mine--it might be a little relaxing..but for me...it does nothing for me.

Got one of these a few years ago, DH made me take it back, not that I minded. I tried to use it in my rocking chair on the first floor, right above DH's office in the basement. All he could he was the ceiling vibrating, very distracting while trying to work.

I can imagine. I really wonder who decided that vibration equals massage. My muscles don't even blink at this stuff. I really thought that all of these vibrating massagers went obsolete after the development of shiatsu.

Somebody must like them.
