OH GROSS!
I bought a neck massager today. $30 on sale.

They had 6 there and I bought the one that looked most likely to be new.

So I get it home and open the box.

It had been previously opened and used.

How do I know it had been used?

The device had a lot of scratches on it.

But more importantly, there were a lot of little hairs around the main motor mechanism.

YUCK!

Goin' back tomorrow for an exchange. Pity I can't use it tonight, my neck is sore. :-(

1. Use a rice bag.
They are easy to make. Sew a tube of fabric, leaving one end open. Pour in rice, then sew the open end closed. Chill in freezer or heat in microwave. Rice fits contours of your neck, and heat will help muscles relax.

2. Ewwww.
My brother had one of those and if he put it down on the floor his dog, a little Scottie, would sit on it. It was pretty awful. Are they human hairs?

3. I hope they're human hairs!

One was really long so I think the previous user was a chick. Now if I use it, I'll get cooties... :scared:

6. That was my
favorite game when I was a kid. I got one for my kids but they didn't appreciate it like I did.
