Below is a table showing exactly which items come in each size box. Scroll down for a complete description of each item and how it supports patients undergoing radiation treatments.

The Men's Radiation Comprehensive Box Includes:

Aluminum Free Deodorant

During radiation therapy, many radiation oncologists discourage the use of standard drugstore deodorants that contain aluminum. There are a variety of reasons, like concerns that the aluminum could interfere with radiation dosage, or that the interaction between radiation and aluminum could irritate sensitive radiated skin. Regardless, switching to an aluminum-free deodorant is an easy way to comply with this directive without succumbing to stinky sweat stains. 

Botanical Burn Balm

Our friends at Polish Your Parts developed this calendula infused balm specifically with radiation patients in mind. Properties in the calendula root are known to alleviate the sting in burns. The balm is easy to apply and should soothe sensitive skin.

Calendula Soap

Calendula oil is known for its anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. This soap smells fantastic and should be gentle on tender skin.  

2 No Sweat Ice Packs

Ice Packs rate in the TOP 5 most requested items from cancer patients. It's no wonder - when undergoing radiation, we highly recommend never leaving home without ice packs in tow. While the packaging says, “for lunches,” at Balm Box we believe these are the ideal size for radiation-sized burns. (And hey – hang onto them for future post-radiation lunch boxes!) The sweat-free ice packs do not leave damp marks on clothes. Plus, they are large enough to provide relief, yet small enough to stay ‘hidden’ under an arm or tucked into the front of a shirt. Two is ideal - one to use, one to keep in the icebox.

*Ice pack cover design may vary.

Seat Belt Shield

Unfortunately, seat belts tend to rub directly against the most tender part of a cancer patient's torso while undergoing (and recovering from) surgery and radiation treatment. Simply insert the pillow between you and your seat belt and TA-DA – pain free driving! *Pillow fabric color may vary

The Cancer Card

Living with cancer stinks – but there IS one teeny tiny silver lining: The Cancer Card. Flash your official membership card to the closest friend or family member and VOILA – skip annoying tasks and activities! (Hint: We've heard it works well with laundry folding, grocery runs and dish washing.)

Weighted Eye Pillow

Dry, cracked, and painful lips are a common side effect of radiation therapy. Knowing cancer treatments can make even light scents unbearable, these unscented lip balms are a great option for cancer patients. Formulated with organic and natural ingredients, they provide comforting moisture to dry and sensitive lips.

Porcelain Tea Pot

One of the most common radiation treatment side effects is fatigue. It is critical to employ self-care when feeling worn down. This charming little teapot is the ideal vessel for a perfect little midday respite.
