It was love at first sit. I was browsing the aisles at Sam’s Club, when there it was. A chair on the corner of an aisle with a Homedics Shiatsu Cushion Massager on it and a sign, “Try me”. Must be one of those vibrating chair cushions, I thought. So, never one to pass up a chance at a good vibration, I sat down and hit the control button.
What happened next is almost indescribable. The Homedics Shiatsu Cushion did not vibrate. Oh, no, it did something much better than vibrate. It MASSAGED — my back, my shoulders, my lumbar region. It was, I tell you, pure heaven. I lack the words to say just how good it felt. Close to orgasmic, might describe it.
When the rollers or heads inside the Shiatsu Massager first started rolling and pushing against my back muscles, I jumped, twitched and giggled. I had not realized my muscles were so tight until the Homedics Massager started its work. I am embarrassed to admit that it felt so good I forgot I was in public and moaned and sighed and made other sexual sounding noises. I sat there for at least 5 minutes enjoying it. Then, noticing that people were looking at me strangely, I got up and went on shopping.
But, after browsing 2 aisles, I came back to the Homedics Shiatsu Massager for another go-round. Before leaving the store, I had gone back to be massaged a total of 5 times! Having vowed that I would not purchase any “unneeded items” until I have my bills paid down, I struggled with myself over whether to buy it right then and there. I WANTED it. Oh, how I wanted it. But, sanity ruled and I left without it, feeling bereft.
Luckily I am married to the best man in the world and, after listening to me rave about the Homedics Shiatsu Cushion Massager, he told me to buy it. The words were barely out of his mouth before I was rushing back to Sam’s Club, credit card in hand.
The Homedics Shiatsu Cushion Massager costs $99 at Sam’s Club. And, believe me, it is worth every penny!
I have found that the massager does its best work when placed on a straight back chair, such as an office chair. I experimented with mine, trying it out on different chairs to get the best results. My straight backed dining room chairs work best for me. The massager can hit all my problem spots.
The Homedics Shiatsu Cushion Massager instructions say do not lay on the cushion. My husband about gave me a heart attack when he wanted to try it laying on the floor. He weighs almost 200 pounds and the mechanism inside the cushion stopped and made grinding sounds. I screamed for him to GET OFF, fearing that he had broken “my baby”. He didn’t break it, but I would recommend that you follow the directions and use it in an upright position.
For over 35 years, my jobs have had me walking and standing on cement floors. This is very bad for the feet and legs. As a result, I have Plantar Fasciitis (which you can read about in my article, “Duct Tape Cured My Plantar Fasciitis”, if you so desire.) and my calf muscles are continuously bunched up in knots. My legs are always tired and at night, they “jump” during my sleep. My husband has been known to go to the guest room when my moving legs keep him awake. I’m beginning to suspect that I might have Restless Leg Syndrome.
I decided to go against the Homedics recommendation just a bit to see if The Shiatsu Massage Cushion could help my legs. I laid the cushion on the floor and placed my calves across it. Since my calves don’t weigh very much, the massager didn’t have any problem functioning. The massage it gave my calves wasn’t as in depth as the one it gives my back, but it sure did feel GOOD!! The next day, I was totally surprised to find that at the end of my work day, my legs did not feel tired like they always do. Then I remembered that I had used the Shiatsu Massager on my calves the night before. I’ll keep doing that because there is nothing worse than spending 10 hours a day on concrete with aching feet and legs.
I have been telling everyone I know about the wonderful Homedics Shiatsu Cushion Massager. I even took it to work with me one day and let the guys in my department try it out. Every single one of them were overjoyed with the massage they got and sent their wives to Sam’s Club to buy one!
The Homedics Shiatsu Cushion Massager is an amazing invention. Try it, you’ll like it! I guarantee it’ll be love at first sit.
