I have 5 boys and have used and still use it on each one! This stuff really works for congestion and helps them breath easier when they have colds. They will always ask for it!

Vicks VapoRub used to be a wonderful product! Stuffy nose? Grab "the Vicks". Headache? Grab "the Vicks"! Got a head cold? Grab "the Vicks"!!
Well, we finally ran out. No more Vicks in the house...had to go to WalMart to buy more. So, we did.
This is NOT the same Vicks our family has used for decades. Mom says "it's a cheap, low-down imitation of a fine product that once was". I say it smells VERY little of the Vicks I remember from my childhood all the way up to last week when we finally ran out of "the original"..
What happened??? Did the "real" products just become too expensive to keep using?

I used vaporub for a toenail fungal infection per my doctor's reccomendation. I suffered with this for about 10 years. I tried every over-the-counter remedy and an expensive prescription with no results. Per doctors orders I applied it and a bandage twice a day until my nail was clear plus 1 month. It is gone!

We stopped using oral cough suppressants (at least during the night time) with Vicks Vaporub. In the evening, before the night sleep I apply the small amount of the vaporub to the middle of the chest (bronchial area) of my 8 years old child, then the same amount to his back, making two lines from both sides of the spine. And it works: the boy sleeps well during the night, no coughing occurs. My boy loves the medication and keeps telling that it smells nice to him while he's asleep. Thanks for the great product.
Just wanted to add that I'm not living in the state of Georgia, but in country of Georgia, which is across the Atlantic ocean, on the Black Sea coast (unfortunately, your site does not provide the option to indicate my own country, hence my selection of the state). Having read in the internet about the product, I have asked my friends to bring the Vicks Vaporub from US because it's not available in my country. That is why I give only 4 stars to the value of the product. Five stars will appear when Vicks will be sold here, in the next drugstore.

I've used Vick's Vaporub for years and find it to be effective for breaking up head and chest congestion as well as relieving dry lips and taking the itch out of insect bites and hives. I will continue to buy the product, even though it is difficult to find in anything other than a small size and recommend it to everyone who has ever suffered the misery of a head cold.

A Wonderful Relief

Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
I am 7 months pregnant with my first child. I came down with a severe upper respiratory infection and due to the pregnancy and drug allergies was very limited on what I could do for relief.
I purchased and tried the non-greasy cream Vicks vapor rub and had almost instant relief. This cream and your plug in helped me to breath through my nose enough to sleep through the night.
This product made me happier than a dog that gets to roll in something smelly! Thank you for the relief in my time of need.

I have used this product my entire life for nasal and chest congestion. My mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother also used Vick's rub. Vick's is a must have not only for the cold and flu season but for allergy season, various aches and pains. When I feel the beginnings of a headache my first line of defense is to put Vick's on my temples and the back of my neck. I get some pretty sever stress and migraine h/a's and many times I do not have to take a pill. It works that well. I wouldn't be without it!

I have a 2yr old and it's frustrating as a parent seeing them sick and not being able to give them anything because they are too young. I think about how I feel as an adult who can take cold meds. I have used Vicks with my son's last 2 colds and it was very happy with the results. I was relieved to find a product that I was able to give my son that worked as well as this. It only took about 1-2 days and the runny nose and cold were all but gone. I have and will continue to reccomend this to all moms with little ones. Thank you for making something that gets the job done as well as this done and makes my son feel better.

Thank you for not touching Vicks Vaporub (as far as I can tell). The ingredients work well together (I wish I could say the same for your Vapospray, which is terrible). Bring back Sinex.

When our 8 year old daughter comes down with a tough cough due to cold or flu Vicks VapoRub works wonders on calming coughs! Last year (when she was 7) it was a god-send. Even with a prescription cough medicine our daughters cough persisted. We pulled out our trusty jar of VapoRub and applied it. Within 1/2 hour our daughters cough subsided and she was able to get some rest. It's truly a miracle in a jar! We always have a jar stocked in our home.

My sainted mother used Vick's on my chest when I was a small child, and I still use it today. It is a great, soothing product for when you have the bad cold going.

I recently had a cold with a lot of congestion. My husband got me some vicks vapor rub. This is not the same product that it was many years ago. It is not so weak that it really doesn't do anything. I definitely not same products and does no good at all. You've lost this customer.
