I wrote a positive review on W atkins Menthol Camphor Ointment today and I felt I had to weigh in on Vicks VapoRub because it remains my favorite topical cold and cough ointment after all these years. ...

Pros: works.
Cons: a little greasy and stinky.

I have had this same can of Vicks Vapo Rub for quite a while; so long that I can’t even tell you where or when I bought it, nor what I paid for it. I tend to use this rub at night when I have a cold, I rub it on my congested chest and the vapors seem to ...

Pros: works great, very strong!, doesn't stain my clothes, easy to find
Cons: can be expensive

Pros: Safely reduces annoying cold symptoms

Cons: strong menthol odor

Well it has been almost a week now and I have to face the facts. I am sick. I have the flu, the cold, the something or another that makes you feel awful inside. I went to the doctor’s office and nothing could be done except to let it flow through ...

Pros: It really works!
Cons: Smell, I like it, but others may not.

Cons: None that I can think of right now.

I remember the smell of Vicks VapoRub the...

Pros: It Works
Cons: you have to buy it, stealing it is frowned upon

Vicks Vapo Rub is good stuff. I don't know exactly how one would describe Vicks Vapo Rub, but it smells good I think, sort of like a menthol. I would probably take up smoking menthol cigarettes if they smelled as good as Vicks Vapo Rub, but cigarettes...

Pros: safe, won't react with other medications, works immediately, nostalgia factor
Cons: effects are mild, greasy, lingering odor has some detractors

Vicks VapoRub Feels Like Love There are three things my parents did for me as a child that I still long for when I am sick. First, my father would place his big hand over my throat and gently feel for swollen glands. Second, one of my parents ...

My husband, Randy, and I have year round allergies and colds. We do try to drink juices with added Calcium, but our bodies need comfort from our chronic nasal congestions and coughs secondary to colds. We have tried the nasal sprays to help us breathe...

Did some early on…didn’t enjoy it…didn’t do it well…stopped.

I wouldn’t be doing this one, but I noticed a serious information gap on this product. Figured I could help some folks by writing this. So this...
