Hello Kitty Gadgets

Just when you think the Hello Kitty phenomena could not get any weirder there is now a plethora of gadgets that continue to celebrate this theme.

One of the weirdest inventions is a tooth cap that looks exactly like the famous cat. You can get it as a frontal crown or as a hub type crown for a back tooth. Now that is a conversation piece. However it is a bit intimate. You would literally be opening your mouth to show someone how filed your tooth down to get a Hello Kitty cap on it.

Another weird as heck invention is the Hello Kitty contact lenses. These feature an image of the famous white cat in each eye. You have to be pretty fanatical about this anime character to want others to see that instead of your pupils.

Another strange invention was the Hello Kitty Vibrator. Originally marketed as the Hello Kitty neck massager it is a cult collectible. It started turning up as the subject of blogs when it became a noticeable object in fetish films.
Even weirder is the Hello Kitty Car Muffler. This thing attaches to your tail pipe. It is in the shape of the Kitty complete with whiskers and the cute little bow on the head.

Yet another strange little gadget is the Hello Kitty headlamp. A pink band fits around your head and a kitty shaped light lights the path for you. The drawback here is that the light is a little small. It is not exactly something that you would have your kid use to light his or her way when riding a bike.

There are all kinds of gadgets for the kitchen that come under the Hello Kitty brand. One of the cutest is the toaster. It is white with a relief image of the cute cat. It is a good toaster to give to a kid.

Another famous Japanese gadget is the Hello Kitty Keyboard which is bright pink with maternity green and baby blue buttons. Every key on the board looks like a kitten's face. It is made by a prestigious company in Japan called Sanrio.

Although technically not a gadget the Hello Kitty Dog House is worth mentioned. It is pink, can fit a Chihuahua and is festooned with 7,600 crystal beads. The pink pillow inside is in the visage of Hello Kitty's face. The cost for all of this luxury for your lap dog is a mere $31,660.

How to Deal With Sciatica Pain

Many moms develop a condition called Sciatica after giving birth. It is also caused by standing incorrectly or holding a kid that is too heavy for too long. It may not feel that alarming at first but if the pain persists it can be quite disabling over the long term.

Sciatica pain is sometimes also known as 'stabbing leg pain' or 'down the leg pain.' The misery is caused by the irritation of major sensory pathway known as the sciatic nerve. This is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It roots in the lower spine area and branches out into the leg and foot. When this nerve is afflicted it is rated as being one of the most painful of human sufferings.

There are many possible causes of sciatic including infections, tumors, pregnancy, arthritis and tissue swelling. Nearly ninety percent of cases of sciatic are caused by pinched spinal nerves caught between misaligned vertabrae or by herniated disks. Fortunately this condition generally responds very well to chiropractic treatments.

Sciatica initiates when a spinal disk herniates or there is misalignment of the lower back vertabraes. They can cause pinching or irritation of nerves in the lower spine and this in turn can cause pain in the foot, calf, thigh, hip, buttocks and back. Even the most minimal of movements can bring on harsh pains. All it can take is bending over, a slight turn or a misstep to trigger agonizing pain.
However before sciatica becomes chronic that body often sends out clear signals that sciatica might be the problem. Often low back pain, discomfort or stiffness is present before there is an attack of sciatic. The pain often starts of as milder and comes and goes so it is not that alarming at first. However you might notice that activities such as bending, lifting or turning can cause it to get worse.

It is not a good idea to wait for the pain to get really bad before seeking help. You should see a chiropractor once you detect even the mildest of symptoms. The good news is that even when the pain is caused by a herniated disc the pain of sciatica can be substantially relieved by even a minimal chiropractic treatment.

A short term solution for coping with this type of pain might be to sleep with a full-length body pillow. This helps relieve any pressure on the nerve endings that might be causing the sciatica pain in the first place.
