A Wrinkle Fighting Pillow

Huh. What will they think of next? Dr. Cynthia Boxrud has manufactured a pillow to help combat “compression wrinkles” that form as you sleep on your belly with your head mashed into your pillow ($58, available here). Do you sleep like that? I admit – I do. Always. But never thought about it giving me wrinkles! This is what they say about the Anti-Wrinkle Pillow:
A creative collaboration between Cynthia Boxrud, MD and Scott Powell, MD (Orthopedic Surgeon), the ergonomically designed (patented technology) Anti-Wrinkle Pillow has been clinically tested and proven to:
* Minimize morning patterns of compression wrinkles
* Provide a pressure free space for eye and orbital area
* Eliminate Stiff neck and shoulder muscles
* Protect the eye after orbital surgery
This looks somewhat like the other ergonomically designed pillows on the market – might be worth a try, eh? As always, let me know if you do.
I wish I could take one for a test drive. It DOES look like other ergonomic pillows on the market so I wonder if the difference is the stuffing on the inside?
So it just fights those temporary wrinkles you get if you sleep on your face, but not the permanent wrinkles you have all day and night. Oh, well.
Sharon – me too – would be nice to try, but I guess you have to try it for a mighty long time to really reap any benefits.
Rhea – temporary, yes, however, those temporary wrinkes will soon become permanent wrinkles if they are mushed up every night for a long time.
Does this item can really rid the wrinkle? Or it just make us sleep in a certain position that minimalism wrinkle?
Just means that it will stave off (new wrinkles) caused by sleeping on your side. I won’t prevent wrinkles, but will help with those caused by side sleeping which could turn them into “static” wrinkles over time. Make sense?
Those wrinkles from sleeping on my face USED to be temporary, but now I’ve got a permanent vertical wrinkle down the side of my face that I sleep on — none on the other side — and that side looks much more crumpled, too. I’m 52 and I’ve been thinking I’d better get something like this for the past 10 years. To me, this pillow looks like there’s more difference between the high and low parts. I’ve seen other ones that are a little different. http://www.savemyface.com. I’m definitely going to get some kind of anti-wrinkle pillow.
I just don’t know which pillow really works …Cyntia’s or from savemyface.com…
I am not sure i would be able to sleep on such a pillow.It looks very uncomfortable.
