Hi Everyone, I looked high and low for 2X/day weekly organizers, each with their own divider slots. I originally found them at my local Walmart, but they are no longer carrying them. For me, the separation of, daytime and nighttime, medications makes filling them easier. When I read some reviews that stated the day/am/pm ink was wearing off quickly, I decided I wanted these anyway and would try to come up with a way to overcome that. What worked for me, was clear nail polish sealer. Just ONE swipe or two at most, if your brush isn't wide enough to cover the whole marking in one swipe. And I didn't use a lot. Just enough to cover. I made a mistake of wiping a second time on one and the ink faded. So far, it's working well. Read more
I bought 6 more of these new because however long I live, I expect I will need pill boxes. I bought some more expensive ones, and they were horrible, these open fairly easily, but stay shut, they don't break, the worst that can happen I have found is that the black lettering starts chipping off. I made day labels and taped them onto each cell, works like a champ. I also have 1 new one in use. I use 2 daily and keep them together when going to office with a big rubber band. I do what makes sense for me, but if you like to see your pills, and not have to rip at the container to get them open, this is the medium compact pill box for you! Buy two or three at this price if you use them, keep spares, that's what I did. Honestly, I was VERY surprised to find them still being made, it was years ago I got my first 2. Bravo! Read more
When my first pill holder arrived I was surprised at the size. This holder is small but holds a surprisingly large number of pills. I experimented and found that I can easily fit 4 very large soft gel caplets 1" long and 3/8"wide in each compartment. If I put 2 of the large caplets in, then 1 smaller capsule ¼" wide, then 2 more of the large caplets on top, the lid of the compartment will still close without compressing the pills. The most I ever require is 5 fairly normal sized capsules and 6 various sizes of tablets (that's a lot) in one compartment. I can dump them in willy nilly and they fit easily in the compartments. The lids close firmly and each row of lids slides off for easy filling. I bought this one for my husband to replace a fancier model that broke. I liked this one so much that I bought 2 more to give to other family members. It is small but sturdy. Read more
I always always forget to take my supplements, so purchased this to help myself. I take about 3-4 pills both morning and night, and sizing works perfectly. **However, the caps on this product opens too easily. I just carry a backpack that I leave on the floor during class, and never throw it or anything. I've used this product for a week now (M-F), and multiple caps have opened in my bag twice already. I tried to check how much force I need to exert to open a cap, and a non-forceful "finger flick" will open it. No wonder this was happening. I do like the size and how it divides the AM/PM, so I will be keeping the product for now. I will try to stack these between my laptop and iPad to put some pressure. Hope this helps, but if not, I will have to return the item. Read more
I only take 2 pills but have to take 2x per day & the night & day pills look similar. The compartments are marked AM PM with black letters but when I’m sleepy it’s easy to mix up which I’ve done twice already. I need to put some kinda stickers or write morning or night on each side. It’s marked how hard could it be right? Somehow it is. Other boxes will have one side yellow & one side blue which would solve it but this is the only one I could find that was not gigantic. The size is enough of a reason for me to make it work though. There are braille markings for the day of the week. I don’t read braille but to me it looks like they are the same for AM PM. The compartments stay closed ok on a night stand. If I were going to pack it in luggage I might not be so confident in the latch. It’s not as trusty feeling as my old EZ dose one. Read more
We have a geriatric Dog that is on a number of drugs and supplements. So we ordered this organizer to replace ones that we had used for years. We got two so we could set up for two weeks at a time. So each unit is used very lightly. We always felt the organization was off. Now I know it is because other organizers have the day and Am or Pm viewed from one side. However this unit has the lettering written upside down so you have to turn it to read it. That mens that the organizer now runs from Sat to Sun left to right. It just seems to be arranged backwards. All of this could be over looked however, the lettering for both of these units is gone to the point where they can't be read. See the photo. We have to find a day that has enough lettering left to figure out and count to find the day we are looking for. For us this coupled with the backwards lettering makes it difficult to use. Look at the photo and you will see an organizer that has been well use over the last...118 days? Wow, we would need to replace the 2 units every 2 - 2 1/2 months if we wanted to be able to read it. You certainly get what you paid for. This was a cheap organizer that sacrificed quality to meet a very low price and is still not worth it. Read more
This works exactly as a weekly pill holder should. The tops are removable for easy cleaning. I especially like the size -- it's small, and takes up so much less space than the previous pill organizer. Great for travel, but I use it every day as well. 4 months later... still like it a lot. I packed it in my toiletry bag and some of the lettering scratched off. So if you travel with it pack it so it won't get scratched. Read more
