Key To Success Pouch: Love It or Leave It?

Jul 03, 2008 - Fred Flare is known for its wacky and wonderful products, and the Key to Success Pouch is not an exception. Pink, vinyl, and deliciously retro, the cell phone-shaped pouch is supposed to be a tribute to Donald Trump, but I'm thinking of it also as a tribute to Zach Morris. Even though you can't dial out on this "phone," it's a great accessory for hanging on to your real phone and other everyday needs, but my secret plan for this phone is to dial the numbers while making a "Boop Boop Boop Boop Boop" noise, and then proceed to talk on it. - 14 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Sling Procedure Versus Burch Colposuspension The sling procedure is better than Burch colposuspension in treating stress incontinence but may cause more post-operative urinary complications, according to results from an important 2007 New England Journal of Medicine study. In the first large-scale clinical trial to directly compare these two types of surgery, 47% of women who underwent the sling procedure had no urinary incontinence 2 years after surgery, compared with 38% of women who received the Burch procedure. However, 63% of women who had the sling procedure (and 47% of women who underwent the Burch procedure) experienced urinary tract infections following surgery. - 0 Comments
