MiraLAXGentle Constipation Relief Laxative Powder, Stool Softener with PEG 3350, No Harsh Side Effects, Single Dose Mix-In Pax with Mixing Stirrers, Travel Pack, 10 Dose

I like that they are in a little packet and can travel with them if necessary. The stir sticks are a great addition to this packet

I take water pills and pain meds so I get stopped up or backed up. This stuff is gentle to use and I can see why it’s rated so high. It may cost more but well worth the money. Saves pain!

Great for travel- wish they weren't so expensive but if you need to take MiraLax on the go with you- these are the way to do it! I also don't need 10 stir paddle things- but I use them for other stuff like mixing epoxy or paint.

Due to half of voice box being paralyzed for eight months, I could not eat certain foods and ended up in the hospital with two blockages in my bowels. While getting ready to be discharged from the hospital, the doctor suggested I use Miralax as directed on the box until my voice box improved. Miralax doesn't cause any stomach discomfort but effective within 6-12 hours for me. I'm sure the effective time will vary as everybody's system is different. It doesn't change the taste or consistency of the liquid, hot or cold, you put it in. I prefer the packets as it is premeasured and easier for me to handle due to arthritis in my hands. It also comes in a large container that you have to measure out yourself. This large container is hard for me to handle but is cheaper than the packets. Overall, I prefer the packets. The packets are easy to take on trips if needed. As for the wooden stirrer, I do not use them. I prefer using at spoon. You could use the stirrers in your garden to mark your vegetables or flowers. This product is worth every penny to me.

Lucky us! If you are one of the occasionally “clogged” people, welcome to the club which is why you are reading this review.You know, it is somewhat difficult to rate a product like this due to the fact that everyone has a different digestive system.I’m at the age where my list of meds reads like a pharmacy. You know what I mean. Since I take so many meds, the problem I’m facing is that most of them cause constipation. So when I’m visiting one of my cornucopia of doctors, I asked all of them what to take, other than a prescription. Well when all three doctors independently recommend Miralax I figured there was a method to their madness.I know it was more expensive but purchasing these preMeasured packets just made it easier for me not having to first measure. I guess I’m lazy but these are just ready to use plus you can place a packet in a pocket, (hey that’s a good one!) and take it with you without having a spoon or a container with the powder. One quick note, these packages come with wooden stirrers.Okay let’s get down to the nitty gritty. When I have a problem, I pour the packet into any liquid I happen to be drinking. For the most part it is pretty tasteless like my mother in laws cooking. Since we are all different, I find that about 75% of the time it works. When it doesn’t, I reach for a prescription medication. I hate to admit it but yesterday I prepared a double whammy. I poured a packet into a large glsss of prune juice. I figured if one didn’t work the other one did. Well I am proud to say that it did work and off to the special seat with a magazine.So why didn’t I give it five stars? I did that because it might work differently on me than it does for anyone else. If you don’t carry a spoon and not a fan of carrying powder and carrying a measuring cup, this is a practical solution. Have a good day and good pooping to all of you!

Effective and easy to use

Effective. Buy for travel. Easy to pack.

Came in a white labeled box. Inside was a legit manufacturer’s box and the wooden stirrers were packaged next to it in plastic. Expiration date is over a year out. Everything was sealed up nicely.Got this because I had been on strong meds for two full days from passing a kidney stone and was going on day four of no bowel movements. Followed the directions and stirred the packet into a small cup of grape juice. Note, you have to stir for a while; it took a few minutes for me. If you see white flecks, keep stirring. They’ll dissolve eventually. Couldn’t taste it at all. Three hours later, success! Definitely recommend this product. Not like a laxative, I experienced zero discomfort and everything came out normally. It just moved the process along.
