These kinoki pads are starting to completely freak me out. Here’s this morning’s left foot result. It is MORE TOXIC than yesterday or the day before. This could be SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that Holmes’ theory of an immunity developing over time isn’t accurate, and could also mean that my husband’s dreams won’t be shattered.
Or, it could mean that watching American Idol causes the toxins in your body to increase.
Now again, I need to just keep it real y’all and let you know that in my waking hours, I don’t feel any different. I truly don’t. BUT, I am getting fantastic sleep. Ever since that first night when the vile stench of the kinoki pads would actually rouse me from sleep, I’ve slept like a log. I’ve decided that could mean one of the following:
1. Kinoki Foot Pads remove sleep-prohibiting toxins from your body or
2. Staying up past my bedtime to watch American Idol makes me so tired that even the vile stench of Kinoki Foot Pads can’t wake me up
In either case, we’ve got ourselves an official mystery here. Tonight will mark Night Number Three of using the pad on my right foot, and I have nine pads left. Tomorrow, I will share with you the directions given on the Kinoki Foot Pad package. You’d think it’d be easy, right? Like, “Stick the pad on your foot and go to bed.” Well, it isn’t. In fact, there is one step listed in the directions that I don’t even understand. Hopefully you’ll be able to help.
More tomorrow.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I tried these too. I ordered from a different company, as the shipping and total cost was much less than the TV version. They also had different “flavors,” like “super grapefruit” for “weight loss.” The grapefruit did smell better than the other one.
I used them all. All 20 of them. There was no discernible change in discoloration or odor of the pads from the first to the last. No change at all. I did not sleep better, I did not have fewer aches and pains, I did not have more energy and I did not lose weight. The only thing that happened was an increasing feeling of being a total chump for wasting $25 on this now-obvious scam. It’s a 100% fraud. Pour some warm filtered, purified or distilled water on the pads, and they’ll turn just as brown and nasty as the ones on you feet. Mr. Kinoki-san is definately laughing his non-toxic a$$ off… Enjoy your research, though…
Thank you for sharing your story. Don’t be embarrassed. Think of what a great story you have to tell. You and I will save tens of other people from repeating our mistakes.
You saved me a lot of $$$. Thought of trying them.
I tried them, especially since I’m fighting a UTI I thought the lavendar ones smelled OK, but the next morning when you take them off & see the gunk stain left in the pad it smelled like burnt rubber (weird). I have slept awesome with them but not sure if there’s anything else going on… mine weren’t dark like the picture above but more of a greenish color… The verdict is still out.
My mind tells me that these foot pads have to be nuts, but I have fought sleep disorders for over ten years. Every night that I have used the pads, I have slept really well. I am on my second box and use one pad per night, so that is over two weeks. I have gone months without even a single good nights sleep, so it is hard to believe the pads are just a placebo effect. I have urinary tract problems, so often when I get up to use the restroom, I can’t get back to sleep. With the pads, no problems. The pads never have gotten lighter. They are always quite dark. I don’t know how they work, but it is worth every penny to be able to sleep well.
