Infrawear’s RxBra Introduces RxMask, Protective Face Mask Made of Fabric Interwoven with Far-Infrared Technology for Comfort, Protection and Skin Health Benefits

Infrawear LLC

Infrawear LLC, the health and wellness provider today announces the availability of RxBra’s new RxMask, a tubular seamless headband-styled protective face mask made from yarn embedded with biophotonic nano-technology that emits far-infrared rays. Far-infrared is a specific wavelength that has been shown to increase microcirculation and muscle oxygenation. Consequently, the mask is comfortable, antimicrobial, durable and anti-odor. The mask is made from the same fabric as Infrawear’s successful RxBra, which helps breast health immediately after surgery and for years to come because the technology will never wash out. The RxMask has the addition of AG+ yarn, a silver ion yarn technology with antimicrobial properties. The fibers in both the RxMask and RxBra modify visible and infrared light, recycling them into energy that the body can use more effectively. "There are many non-medical grade masks on the market, and we know that not all masks are created equal,” said Rachael McCrary, co-founder and President of Infrawear. “The RxMask helps eliminate bacteria growth and offers health and beauty benefits. Infrawear prides itself on being an agile, forward-thinking company. Once we realized that the same fabric and infrared technology that goes into the RxBra could be used for masks during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, we knew that we could fulfill a need for those who realize the importance of wearing a protective mask and also want the health, beauty and anti-aging benefits.” When wearing the mask, consumers can easily pull down their mask and reposition it without needing to adjust the earholes, making it suitable for use during exercise, dance, and yoga. Available in black, cream, red and blue for the fashion-conscious wearer and are designed to become part of your daily wardrobe. The masks are also designed to have wellness properties. Most spas and tanning salons have infrared treatments and in the aftermath of COVID-19, many spas remain closed and consumers cannot receive these anti-aging skin treatments. The RxMask is engineered to improve skin appearance and reduce the risk of skin irritation, mask acne or ‘maskne’ caused by sweat, skin oils, and bacteria being trapped on the fabric or on the skin under the mask. The RxMask is available through RxBra.com and is priced at $USD 25.00.

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/TsJdJ3quJLE Travelers will drive, rather than fly, and hence take shorter trips closer to home. Choice Hotels’ has nearly 6,000 franchised hotels across America conveniently located near drive-to destinations and therefore well-positioned to support the resurgence of the American road trip this summer. Americans will have different comfort levels when they first venture out in this new travel environment and will be looking for indications from restaurants, hotels and attractions that they are committed to prioritizing travelers’ health and safety.

Travelers will be looking to make the most of their travel budgets. Choice Privileges, the company’s award-winning loyalty program, is currently offering a Stay Twice, Earn a Free Night promotion, designed to help guests maximize their travel budgets as they return to the open road.

Ergo21 Announces New Bicycle Seat Cushion Cover Provides Health Benefits and Comfort

Ergo21

Ergo21 today announced its new custom-made seat cushion cover is now available and ready to ship. The seat uses LiquiCell technology to reduce hot spots and improve blood flow. "If you want to ride forever without the butt burn, the Ergo21 Bicycle Seat Cushion is the perfect choice for regular and exercise bikes. The secret ingredient is the LiquiCell Membrane on top of an open cell foam and covered by a soft fabric"" explains Steve Gambhir, designer, and product specialist at Ergo21. Positive Customer Impact Ergo21 interviewed bicyclists, gym goers and spin enthusiasts and found most people were not happy with their seats. "We researched and evaluated the most popular brands and discovered they used molded foam, which is approximately 30% cheaper to manufacture since it simply requires some sewing. The trade-off is that it's closed-pore foam and it feels hard when you ride," said Gambhir. LiquiCell Blood Flow Technology Ergo21 sourced a custom density open cell foam from a local USA foundry designed to absorb road vibrations while not feeling hard on sitting bones. Custom made LiquiCell Membrane is then placed on top to protect sensitive skin tissues from breaking down while optimizing blood flow. "The biggest challenge we had since the foam was not molded is that it needed special manual double stitching. After several months of trying different stitching methods, we finally were able to come out with what we consider the Best Bicycle Seat Cushion out there! Better than a Gel bicycle seat cushion or foam bicycle seat cushion" said Gambhir. The seat is double-stitched, available in 2 sizes, fits almost any seat, slips on easily and enables cycling or stationary bikes enthusiasts to simply tighten the draw-cord and go. Founded in 2010, Ergo21 offers wide range of Seat Cushions designed for office, driving, home, wheelchairs, and travel. For more information on LiquiCell Blood Flow Technology: https://www.ergo21.com/bicycle-seat-cushion/ ### Ergo21 and LiquiCell are registered trademarks in the United States of the respective owners.

Cloud Conventions Virtual Trade Show Platform Delivers Automation to Convert Live Events into a Virtual Conference or Expo

Convey Services

The Cloud Conventions Virtual Trade Show and Conference Platform from Convey Services brings new capabilities to a marketplace looking for solutions to replace the thousands of live trade shows, annual conferences and association meetings cancelled in the wake of COVID-19. Originally launched as ConveyLive, Cloud Conventions automates exhibitors and virtual booths, attendee registration, speaker sessions and reminders, invitations and email communication, while at the same time producing detailed analytics on attendee, session and exhibitor activity. “Stringing together a series of webinars doesn't constitute an effective virtual event,” said Carolyn Bradfield, founder of Convey. “You must give attendees an interactive educational experience, opportunities to network and connect, offer promotions and giveaways, while at the same time providing ways to engage with exhibitors or sponsors. Our technology was built on a mature content delivery platform. When compared to other virtual trade show solutions, Cloud Conventions provides a more complete experience, with automation and analytics. Event hosts can offer compelling reasons for sponsors and exhibitors to participate based on their ability to attract a larger high-value audience, capture attendee information inside virtual booths and create calls to action.” Cloud Conventions fits events ranging from small association conferences to large industry expos. Events can be fully supported and managed by Convey or self-managed. Cloud Conventions automates registration and engagement with custom dashboards so attendees can navigate through the event. Automated session management allows 1-click sign-up, posting the session on attendee calendars with email and text reminders. “ Cloud Conventions has a unique ‘Hub & Spoke’ content delivery model that supports associations and trade groups that manage multiple events,” Bradfield added. “The association can maintain one centralized hub site for exhibitors to add educational and marketing assets and duplicate content selectively to regional events, gaining efficiency and saving time for chapters. Pre-designed booth templates standardize the look and feel of the show, providing a consistent attendee experience and simplifying vendor management. Cloud Conventions is designed for the non-technical user who doesn’t have HTML skills or technology training. Any marketing or event manager can easily use the platform.” The platform provides sponsors and exhibitors greater promotional opportunities with advertising, a graphical display of content and marketing assets, meeting calendars with pre-show meeting requests, live chat, giveaways and promotional points. Cloud Conventions has responsive web design and is web conferencing neutral allowing the choice of any combination of conferencing services to fit the size of the audience or the complexity of the session, with Convey offering monitoring and support if needed. Cloud Conventions is one of the first virtual trade show platforms to offer ADA compliance. It is available for single or multi-day events with the portal remaining online for extended periods to allow attendees longer-term access to session recordings, sponsors and exhibitors. For more information visit: www.cloudconventions.com or email info@cloudconventions.com. XXX About Convey Services Convey Services delivers content and marketing portals and connects them into networks to inform, educate and engage channel partners and direct sellers in the telecom/cloud space, the property and casualty insurance market and food distribution industry. Convey’s portal technology automates and organizes partner management, has tools to engage and educate partners and integrates email marketing technology for members to run packaged email marketing campaigns to their customers and prospects.
