I like them, I get mine from Defy, probably not the cheapest. I think they work better than the pills. Sometimes I will put one in a baggie in my pocket and have ad zero issues. But I haven't done that during the summer in the heat, it might melt

No complaints about Defy here. Melissa Faulk, the PA is who I deal with . She has called me back and e-mailed after hours and always gone the extra mile as far as I'm concerned. She helped my get my SH*$ together at a time where I was struggling to stay afloat and the local DR 's didn't give a...

Thanks fellas, I'll give it another shot

I have recently started taking 5mg of Cialis daily. The results have been great, best erections in years. After a week I started experiencing horrible back pain, to the point where I couldn't hardly get up. it took a few days but I finally figured out it is the Cialis and it is a known side...
