I bought the mypillows for us and my parents. They are nice but not doing what they claim. They remind me of the pillows we had as kids that were filled with rubber foam.

In my opinion, never watch infomercials in the wee hours of the morning. Your inhibitions are way down then.

This is from my own experiences, BTW.

I have.  Some of the things are better than others.  I try to find reviews, I look to see if it's on Amazon so I can read reviews on it and check for reviews online.  I have two friends who, recently, bought My Pillows.  One loves it and the other hates it.  I got Snuggies for my grandkids and they love them.

I like the home shopping network to make my purchases.

No, I try to stay away from them; can go overboard in buying things you think you need , so i am not much for them.

I haven't bought anything from infomercial, although I have definitely been tempted. Not sure about Crepe Erase, but I think the skin care advertised on infomercials tend to be over-priced.

I remember many years ago we bought a Showtime Rotisserie from an Infomercial and still use it all the time.

I believe that most infomercials are dishonest in their representations and that ruins it for the few where the products truly do what they claim.

they are a waste of my time, and everybody else.  I always change the channel and go to another show so I don't have to listen to them
