many of us can say we grew up with Vick's Vapor Rub when we got a cold.
Certain name brands remain popular for years.
-
Yes, Vick's vapor rub has been around a long time. I think I will google it to see how long it has been around. I heard it is used for many other things than just the common cold.
-
I only use vapor rub when i can't breathe..
You know when you get that stuffed up lack of air feeling?
That's when i use it..
Woot Woot
-
I love Vick's Vapor Rub and it is still good.
-
That's for sure and I still use it for everything.
-
yep can say we have it in the house.always have it.especially good during the cold season.but when my allergies kick up and i can't breathe it comes in handy
-
yes, i still used it when i have colds.
-
I think my family should buy stock in vicks Vapor rub. Aside from rubbing it on our chests to help us breathe we drop it by the spoonful in boiling water. That Vapor scent is released into the air and when we're really stuffed up - we'll put a towel over our heads and lean over the steam. It works great but the entire surface of the stove get's this gel like slime surrounding the pot.

My grandmother swore by Vicks. She said if you had a cold to rub it on your chest, but to make sure you completely washed it off the next morning before you went out. She said if you didn't your cold would get worse.
-
I agree. My mom has been using it since i was girl and i continue to still use it. Works for me!
-
I have a bottle of it sitting near the TV. I have had to use it on my grandson when he could not breathe because his nose was stopped up. It is a pride and true brand and still works. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow:
-
When I get a cold I swear by Vicks vapor rub to keep it from going into my chest .. Works great
-
Wow, I remember this "cure" from early childhood. Mom would rub it on our chests & cover with a clean, warm cloth when we had colds.
-
i don't know what I would do without it. There's always mucus in my chest (way more than normal) and when I put it on, I can breathe. I was so happy when I found the bigger jars of it at walmart.
-
I, too, grew up on it! I learned as I got older it can also be good for achy muscles! It is almost like the "Icey Hot" that is more costly! ;)
-
I also grew up with Vicks Vapor Rub,but I haven't used it in years.I didn't know they still made it.Thanks for reminding me of it.Maybe I'll pick some up the next time I go to the drugstore.
-
I still use this vapor rub when i have a stuffy nose. The strong smell helps to open my nose and i use this on my kids. It's affordable and easy for them to use without getting it in their nose and mouth.
-
Vick's is #1. It helps. :present:
-
I didn't realize Vicks was good for achy muscles I will have to try that I always have it in the house my hubby and I both have allgeries and it helps a great deal
-
It reeks to the point it keeps me up at night but damn does it work.
-
I haven't used Vick's in years. But I remember my mom rubbing it on my chest when I had a cold and it felt so soothing. And who could ever forget that smell. Brings back memories of my childhood.
-
I keep one at the house, in the car and at work
-
Reminds me of the Big Bang theory and Sheldon's mother rubbing it on his chest when he is sick and singing soft kitty to him.
-
Yes vicks vapor rub is really good for cold and cough. it helps you feel better. since i am young we usually used vicks until now.It works for me and my family.
-
Mother usually bought Mentholatum. I think I have a jar of each one now.
-
I love Vicks vapor rub! I still use it!!!
-
Oh, yeah! Used it as a kid..still use it now whenever I get a cold.
-
I always use it when I have a cold. And I use baby vicks for my kids. It's a very good product.
-
wow, if vicks read this we could earn money for our advertising. i use it on my feet when i have a cold.
-
I too remember growing up with vicks vapor rub
-
I like Vick's vapor rub. I use this too when I'm feeling down and it feels so nice, especially when spread across my chest. Things like and Tiger balm tends to make me feel refreshed / recharged.
-
We still use it here, love the smell of it.
-
The only time I use Vicks vapor rub is when I'm sick.
-
I still use it when I'm sick. It really helps with the congestion.
-
:thumbsup: been around forever. Great for colds. My son already learned that it helps him breath better.
Rub it on your chest, your back, your feet, your forehead, on your nose. Breath fresh air. It's the best!
-
Yes I remember using that stuff when I was a kid to relieve the sinus pressure, but man that odor a person never forgets once you can breathe a little
-
Yup Vicks has been around for a long long time and still works as good as the first time ive tried it. Great for colds .
-
Yes, grew up with it and still use it today when my family have a cold.
-
Loveee the smell. <3
-
Yep my mom used Vicks on me and I use it still for myself and for my son I started using it on him when he gets all stuffy. My boyfriend and I were just talking about Vicks the other day lol
-
a fellow I play golf with at times told me that his doctor told him to use it on his nail fungus... have no idea if it works or not, but I bet the fungus breathes easier! :D
-
I use Vicks vapor rub for my kids when they get a cold. I like to inhale the smell too sometimes.
-
i have asthma so bad and i wonder if vicks would help this. i think my mom may have used this on me as a young child but i cant fully remember now. I cant always breathe well but i take advair and its helpful...but you have to use it all the time.
-
Vick's Vapor Rub is good stuff and has been used by my family for many years. I love it. :)
-
I grew up with my Mom using vicks vapor rub on all of us for different illnesses and it definitely worked. I also used it on my daughter via a vaporizer because she suffered from bronchitis when she was a small baby. The stuff still works as well as it did when I was a child.
-
Yes, I believe vicks vapor is really effective, we are using it, And we can it in the foot and sock while sleeping, it help to stop coughing.
-
yes I grew up on vicks vapor rub and I must say it helped me a lot
-
Vick's Vapor Rub is great. I use it when i have colds and my chest gets congested. It also helps open up my nasal passages.
-
Yea I still use it.
-
we always keep vapor rub in the house! they say its good if you put it on the bottom of your feet and wear socks to stop a cough but i've never tried it
-
I love Vick's Vapor Rub !! when ever I get a cold, I put some on my chest before I go to bed so I can breath clearer at night!!
-
Vick's is amazing and timeless. I just used it when I had a stuffy nose last week.
-
Used it for years and use it on my kids.
-
I haven't thought about that for decades. When we were kids my mom would rub it on our chests when we got a cold. Do they still make it?
-
VICKI'S VAPOR RUB IS GOOD AND IT IS AND OLD PRODUCT THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND AND IS GOOD TO USE :thumbsup:
-
I swear my mom must have owned part of the company. Anytime we got even the slightest cold, out came the Vicks. She would put in on our chest and back (have to admit it did feel good), and it did make us sleep and feel better.
-
lol yes when I was little. my mom would slather this on my neck and chest
-
I remember it, it wasn't until recently I've grown to appreciate it and learning to put it on the bottoms of your feet.
-
Still in use here in my household. I still remember the exact words screaming from my kids when they were kiddies, STOP NOT THAT. Very good stuff.
-
Isn't it interesting how some products have survived over the years. Vicks Vapor Rub is one of them.
-
My mom put it on me when I was a kid. I got bronchitis every winter and missed a lot of school. I hated the smell, but it did help.
-
I have some I think I will go find it right now and start using it. I am stuffed up.
-
I use it on cuts and congestion for years - works really well!
-
Love it as a kid, love it more as an adult! When my nose is real clogged, I'll even take a small amount and rub a little right under my nose. It does wonders!
-
I read on a facebook post that if you put Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of your feet at night before you go to bed you will wake up with your cold greatly relieved.
