I’ve been working at the computer a lot recently and my right arm (my mouse arm) is starting to feel it. Whenever I start to feel that little twinge of soreness, I quickly grab for the miracle ointment that I like to call BENGAY.
About BENGAY Cold Therapy
The Review
After a long night at the computer, my arm felt like it needed some relief. I grabbed a tube of BENGAY Cold Therapy and rubbed it into my forearms.
When you first apply BENGAY Cold Therapy, you’ll feel an immediate cooling sensation. Then, gradually, an amazing penetrating tingle works its way into the muscle. It seemed like the cooling effect provided some instant relief, and then the menthol worked its way into the muscles and provided a more lasting pain relief. The cooling sensation comes from PRO-COOL technology which uses a formula with menthol and alcohol. As the BENGAY evaporates, it has a cooling and relaxing effect on any sore muscles.
There is an initial menthol scent when you apply the gel; BENGAY Cold Therapy has a vanishing scent formula. After about 5 minutes I didn’t notice the scent at all. If I stuck my nose right on my arm, I could still detect it, but not enough for people to notice when out and about.
One of our testers sprained his ankle during a rousing game of basketball. It was a completely unplanned opportunity to test out the new BENGAY Cold Therapy. A quick application of the cooling blue gel to the ankle and there was an immediate and noticeable cooling effect which helped to reduce the soreness he felt when walking around.
The new BENGAY Cold Therapy just hit the stores this month and is available at food, drug, and mass retailers nationwide for $8.49-$9.99. Make sure you download this awesome $3.00 off coupon for BENGAY Cold Therapy before you pick up a tube.

I have used the regular Bengay before for muscle pain and just recently for overworked back and shoulder muscles when I painted my 2 kids’ bedrooms. I would like to try their new cold therapy formula Bengay.
