To help me when I have trouble getting enough air.

I use a small electric fan.
But I love to Ebike so I just got me a Flextail Tiny Pump 3x.
They on sale on Amazon for $38. They meant for blowing up air mattresses but I’m using it for blowing air into my face and it works great great. It also has an awesome light for if I was going into the bathroom at night I could bring that with me and have that security of having some air to blow in my face and light up the area at the same time. I’m really happy with it. It’s very tiny just weighing a few ounces.Flextail air pump Mini 3x

  1. How long can you use it as a fan per charge? And how noisy is it?


    1. The two I have that I like the best are Yoldcew ($19.97 on sale)
      Openbay portable mini handheld fan ($19.99)
      The last one has a metal cold spot in the center. If you hit the button on the right, it becomes wicked cold and is good for touching parts of you like your pulse spots. I like it for that.
      The first one, when I’m in the house, gets to feel so cool you’d almost think it had some cooling mechanism as well, but I tried it out on the deck today in 80° weather and it was more like just a regular fan, but I do like to use that when I’m headed downstairs for something as it has a nice handle.
      See what you like, but that will give you a start at any rate. I’m sure you’ll be happy with either. If you’re only gonna get one I would get the Openbay with the cold spot.

    2. it’s a little noisier than the other ones I mentioned, but it still didn’t wake my husband up. I believe they all last for hours. I also got one that hangs around your neck. The fan sections, pivot outward to direct the air right into your face. I like it a lot. That’s something you could wear outdoors when you’re gardening. You wouldn’t have to hold onto it. It could just hang there. It’s a little weight, but it’s not very heavy. I like it a lot and you can charge it while you’re using it if you’re just sitting in bed or something immobile like that.

  2. I use an electric mini fan next to my bed. I also have some portable fans that last for hours of course it depends on the fan. All bought from Amazon. Very quiet they do not wake my husband up. I’ll take one with me along with my albuterol inhaler when I go downstairs as I seem to run out of gas midway through my chore.

  3. This is such a great hack! Thanks for sharing. - Lori (Team Member)
