I’m very happy with the orka brand silicone tipped tongs I got back around 2008. I think they may be the same as the ones made by mastrad now, but I can’t be sure without seeing them in person.
The set I have has held up extremely well over the years, and still looks and works like new.
I ended up going with men’s sockwell elevation firm compression socks from Duluth Trading Co. So far so good, they are comfortable, didn’t fall apart on the first wash, and are helping a lot.
