Vicks Vapor Rub

I have not wrote a review for a couple of days, instead I have been coughing and sneezing and generally feeling unwell! Now before you all ask, it is not Swine Flu but I have got a nasty chest infection. I am finally and slowly getting over it as I have been suffering for over 2 weeks now, I don't think I would have got over it though without my handy tub of vaporub! When younger I can always remember my mum having a tub of the stuff in the bathroom cabinet, the one we could never reach! When my sister or I would go down with a cold or cough out would come the Vicks and she would rub it on our chests and back before going to sleep.

Firstly, the DooYoo heading says Vapour Rub but this is actually called Vapo rub. I currently have two little sicklings at home, they both have a very heavy head cold although my little girl who is only an infant is battling through it graciously, and my toddler boy has taken a case of Man-Flu very early in life.

I find the results of this product almost instant, although sometimes an extra layer is advised if its not working too well. Some people sometimes apply it to napkins or handkerchiefs to ...  Read the complete review

I watched the Vicks Vapo Rub advert for the first time, I thought then that they might be saying it does more than possible. I watched it again a couple of times more before the problem was made "Clear". OK let us be honest in the new advert it claims (correctly) that it clears the nasal area and aids breathing. Now that I will accept. BUT to imply that the model in the advert will by using Vicks Vapo rub lose the sore nose and upper lip in an instant, well I am sorry but I think that might just be exaggerating the power of the product. Watch the advert the next time it is on, how does this product not only clear her nose but remove the sores ...  Read the complete review
