  • Effective and Gentle Relief
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I've used the Amazon Basic Care Stool Softener with Docusate Sodium 100 mg multiple times, and it consistently delivers. It's gentle on the stomach, works overnight without cramping, and does exactly what it's supposed to do. The 100-count bottle is a great value and lasts a long time. A reliable product to keep on hand—highly recommend for anyone who occasionally needs help staying regular. ... show more

  • Great for mild constipation relief!
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
Well....they work! Bought these for occasional constipation related to medication use. They provide gentle relief usually in 24 hours. Keep in mind these are a softner, not a laxative, so if you're really bound up I'd suggest SennaS ( which is this product with an added laxative, available in this brand as well) and they pack a bigger punch. But for mild constipation, this product works great, no cramps, easy to swallow gel caps, can be taken daily as a preventative measure. Highly recommend ... show more

  • Amazon Basic Care Stool Softener Laxative, Docusate Sodium 100 mg Softgels
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
Gentle and Reliable Relief — Affordable and Effective I’ve tried several stool softeners over the years, and the Amazon Basic Care Docusate Sodium 100 mg Softgels perform just as well—if not better—than more expensive name-brand versions. For anyone dealing with occasional constipation, post-surgery recovery, or just looking for a gentle, non-stimulant option, this product delivers. Pros: Works as Expected: It generally takes about 12–72 hours to work (as stated), and when it does, the results are effective but gentle—no cramping or urgency like with stimulant laxatives. Easy to Swallow: The softgels are small, smooth, and go down easily, even for people who usually struggle with pills. Great Value: You’re getting a large count for a very affordable price. This is ideal if you need to use them regularly or want to keep them stocked in the medicine cabinet. Comparable to Colace: I’ve used Colace in the past and honestly can’t tell a difference in performance. This generic version saves money without sacrificing quality. Cons: Takes Time to Work: Like all stool softeners, this isn’t an instant fix. If you need fast relief, you’ll need a stimulant or combination product. This is more about softening over time. Gel Capsule Odor: When you open the bottle, there’s a slight chemical smell. It’s not overpowering, but worth mentioning. Packaging Could Improve: The cap is secure but not child-resistant, which might be a concern in households with young children. Bottom Line: This is a reliable, gentle solution for softening stools and supporting regular bowel movements without harsh effects. It’s not meant to be a quick laxative, but it does exactly what it claims if used consistently. If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to brand-name products, this is a great buy. Highly recommended for adults seeking non-stimulant relief. Just be patient—it works best over a day or two. ... show more

He tends to be a guy that likes to eat what he likes. Haha so, I guess these make life a little easier for him on those throne moments. Quality is great and works well. Easy to use and no taste.
