True Glow by Conair Paraffin Bath for Hands and Feet - Moisturizing Treatment With 1lb. Wax - Purple

It is small. I don't mind that because it's easy to store.It's also a very basic machine with an on/off button, a lid and no "heat shield" on the bottom (it's not needed because you are not resting your hands on the bottom anyway. Some people have complained that it isn.t large enough. I have large hands, but they are not very fleshy. I have no trouble submerging my entire hand up to the wrist into the paraffin bath. I did buy extra paraffin and found that adding 1 1/2 bars of paraffin makes for a deeper bath. I did not buy it intending to submerge my feet, but if that is something you want to do, you would be better off with a larger unit. The wax does take about 2 1/2 hours to melt completely. Once I realized that, I just remember to turn it on about 3 hours before I plan to use it. I do not find the heat to be excessive. Yes, it is hot....but you are dipping your hand in and out pretty quickly and the heat is therapeutic. I have never found it intolerable. I've noticed that after using the paraffin bath daily for a week, I not only have less pain in my finger joints, but my fingernails are not breaking as easily or peeling. Win/win. I did not waste my money on gloves. I use (and reuse) a zip lock bag. The paraffin is great quality, moisturizes nicely and, if you follow instructions and dip 5 times for 5 thin layers, makes a thick layer that easily peels off like a glove after about 15 minutes. All in all, I'm very happy with this inexpensive, no frills unit. Update 8/28/23 - Still very pleased with this. One tip for those who think the wax is too hot. I remove the lid once the wax is completely melted and wait 10 minutes to dip my hand. The wax cools just enough so that it is more comfortable on the skin. Hope this helps.

Machine came with about a pound of paraffin, I added another pound. It takes a couple of hours to melt, which seems like a long time - but maybe that's normal. This machine worked as advertised, but it's very small. I got it for my husband to use on arthritic hands/wrist but it is very shallow and doesn't cover the wrist...so I'm looking for another one that is deeper.

I read all the reviews, the good and the bad I feel like a lot of people neglect to read the one star reviews and only read the five star reviews, thinking the product will be so great and then finding out that it’s not well I bought it anyway! And I was definitely upset with my decision to do so a few of the complaints on the reviews talked about how you couldn’t really submerge your foot or hand into the device it is extremely too hot and dangerous. Definitely needs to be a bigger bowl for it to work properly. Other than that it’s a good product. I love the wax that it had definitely made my skin soft but a pain in the butt.

I bought this paraffin bath hoping for softer hands and feet. What I got was a tiny personal spa and an excuse to sit down and do absolutely nothing for a little while. The unit heats the wax well, is easy to use, and leaves my skin feeling noticeably softer and more moisturized afterward. My hands felt smoother after the first use, and my dry heels were significantly less embarrassing. There's also something oddly satisfying about dipping your hands into warm wax. It feels ridiculous at first, then suddenly you're wondering why you've never done this before.

I have just unpacked the unit. I can tell my hand will fit, but I will not be able to spread my fingers very much as directed. But I believe it will do the job adequately. My issue is that within 10 mns of turning it on to melt the blob of provided paraffin labeled « Blue Aloe » the smell gave me a headache. Fortunately, the extra wax I bought based on reviews, is unscented. I have reactions to roses and stargazers lilies, in case that helps. Never had any around aloe plants or aloe gel and products. The unit is small. I am not able to full spread my fingers open. Since I mostly need it for my thumb, I just tilt my hand in. I got slightly better results by putting 4 « bricks » of the suggested « buy together « unscented paraffin. But this unit doesn’t get hot enough. The paraffin cools off completely by the time you take your hand out and slip it in a bag. Can’t offer relief like others I have tried. Can’t return it either (although i believe mine was a return, based on a couple of black stains on the bottom), because the lip to support the lid is so tiny, I have accidentally dunked one corner of the lid into the was twice, and it is a pain to peel off.

I was skeptical because of some reviews but I got lucky and my True Glow by Conair works perfectly. It took 3 hours to melt paraffin the first time but only 2 hours for next 3 times I have used it. Test temperature if you are sensitive to heat. I am happy with treatment, very soft skin and cuticles. If it helps with arthritis even better because I am starting to see my fingers joints changing but no pain in my case. Highly recommend!

Hand size. Great for my arthritis. Comes with wax

I bought this because I had one years ago that worked well...do not like this version of the product for the following reasons: 1. It's way too small. I still tried it, dipping first the heel then top of my foot then used a rubber spatula to try to hit my arch and top of my foot. It did not work well 2. It takes a ridiculous amount of time to melt the wax. It's been 3 hours and it's still not fully melted. I get that conair doesn't want their product to burn someone, but the wax shouldn't take that long to melt. Maybe adding a dual switch / one for melt, another for dipping / would be helpful ... but this product doesn't have that function 3. Since I tried it, I can't return it and just threw away $35 - which sucks! The manual says melt time is 90 minutes- I wouldn't have even tried to use it if I thought I'd be waiting for the wax to melt three hours later...maybe my unit is defective and I'll be able to get refunded for it. But either way I don't recommend buying this based on the size and issues with the wax not melting as claimed in the manual. Spend a little more money and get a wax machine that works better - I still want one but will check the reviews more thoroughly first.
