ML2007 says "The Bikini Touch Trimmer leaves you hairless, pain free" about Bikini Touch Binkini Touch Trimmer and Hair remover

ML2007 — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:57:21 GMT

I enjoy using the Binkin Touch trimmer and hair remover because it leaves my skin smooth and hair free, and it's pain free. Whenever I travel and especially if I know I will be wearing a bathing suit, I make sure I take along my trimmer because it's compact and very easy to use and clean. The vibrating head pulls out the bikini hair and other unwanted hair in a quick swipe and you can't even feel it. This is definitely much less painful than shaving with disposable shavers. Also, you don't have to worry about taking shaving cream in your luggage and fear that it might explode in the plane. The handle is thin and it comes with a protective cover for the head. The trimmer does require one AAA battery. And it also comes with a small brush to clean the trimmer and two comb attachments for trimming the bikini area. I purchased this trimmer for less than 10 bucks. You can also replace the blades if needed.

lauritahh72 says "Excellent product for a sick child; it's soft and strong." about Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue

lauritahh72 — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:09:13 GMT

Excellent product. they are the best tissues I've ever used on my kids and myself, it's better than Kleenex. And now that it's the Flu season and your nose gets runny it really does come in handy. And Puffs tissues are EXTREMELY strong but they don't irritate your nose. Most tissues break when you blow in them once but Puffs does'nt. It's the best tissue out there especially for children, they love it. Also, Puff's are really helpful when it comes to allergies. People with allergies should definately invest on a box, Im telling you, you won't regret it. Another thing is when you sneeze into some tissues you sneeze all the way through it and it gets on your hands, but Puffs Ultra Srong and Soft Tissue does'nt break, you can sneeze into it five times and it still would'nt break. But, what my kids love about it is that it's not rough and it feels very nice towards your skin, you probably wont even feel anything, It's just a very nice strong comforting tissue.

vivianp343 says "So long toilet paper, let's use Puff's!!" about Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue

vivianp343 — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 07:10:55 GMT

Well, I'm actually sick with strep throat as I'm writing this, and believe me I've got plenty of sniffles!! The common cold is one of the most frequent ailments around the globe. So, why not make it a little better. Growing up, all my family used was toilet paper, napkins, paper towels...after a while our noses would be raw and sore, sometimes for days afterwards! Then came the (miraculous) invention of tissue's! Now, when suggesting a tissue, I wouldn't advise picking just any tissue. Puff's are always soft, and you don't pull your hand away wet after blowing your nose. People who have bought the cheap brands, or the generic brands know what I'm talking about. YUCK!

So, unless you like those blistering and painful noses, buy Puffs! I'd reccomend these to anyone else who is sick and feeling under the weather. They really do work, and they work well. Not to mention, they aren't expensive either. ;)

Have a good day everyone! I hope all you sickies out there will get better soon.

njchicaa says "Looking for a non-antibacterial hand soap? Check this one out!" about Softsoap Black Raspberry and Vanilla Hand Soap

njchicaa — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:56:26 GMT

Hand soap is just one of those things that you have to buy. I usually stick to environmentally-friendly products like method or Mrs. Meyer's, but I sent my husband off to the store with the shopping list, so I wound up with a 7.5 fluid ounce bottle of SoftSoap Black Raspberry and Vanilla.

This is basically your typical hand soap: inexpensive, easy to find, mostly unpronounceable ingredients, and pleasant fragrance. Softsoap seems to make the same hand soap in 50 different scents, but their Black Raspberry and Vanilla one is a winner. I normally don't like raspberry or vanilla scents, but the combination along with some other fragrance notes seems to be an unoffensive fruity, floral, and fresh scent.

I wash my hands dozens of times a day... and that is only during the hours that I am not at work! I was worried about drying out the skin on my hands with all of the repeated hand-washings, but it all was fine. This is a lovely and moisturizing hand soap that also has the bonus benefit...

Susie-34668 says "Dentek Comfort Clean Soft Easy Sliding Floss does exactly that" about Dentek Comfort Clean Soft Easy Sliding Floss

Susie-34668 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:40:56 GMT

Dentek Comfort Clean Soft Easy Sliding Floss was another great find in Walgreen's drugstore. I paid $2 for it and got a $2 coupon back to spend in the store.

The floss comes in a cute see through container. It has a flip up lid, and when you open it, the end of the floss is in the metal area, that cuts the floss. I pulled a few inches of floss, and then cut it by putting it under the metal ridge. The floss is similar to any other ones that you can purchase. It is white, flat, and easy to use. I put it between my fingers and then slid it between my teeth.

Because of the coating it has, which is natural wax, it doesn't break. It does as good a job as other leading brands. There was no problem in getting to the back area of the teeth and between them.

I much prefer this to the wooden toothpicks that Len often uses. I offered him the Dentek Comfort Clean Soft Easy Sliding Floss, as it would be better for his teeth.

This product has a roll in the middle of the plastic...

jasyjen says "Puff's tissue is the ONLY choice in my book" about Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue

jasyjen — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:09:26 GMT

When you're sick and have to blow your nose CONSTANTLY, the last thing you want to do is use a rough tissue. Am I right? It just plain hurts! Puff's Ultra Soft & Strong Tissues make an enormous difference when you don't feel good. It's like blowing your nose into a nice, soft, ultra-thin blanket! Seriuosly, they are that soft!

No one likes to be sick. But when you have a nice soft box of tissues by your side, you don't mind having to blow your nose as much. Puff's Ultra Soft & Strong Tissues may cost a little more (hardly anything worth mentioning) but they are better than any discount or bargain tissue. Because they are thicker and stronger, you don't need to use as many at a time. One tissue will go a long way, thus you're saving money in the long run.

I keep Puff's Ultra Soft & Strong Tissues in my house all year long. We have a box in the bathroom and a box on the kitchen counter at all times. We may not always need them, but it's good to know we have them on...

PattyTherre says "A VERY sweet soap that doesn't strip my hands like the others." about Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Winter Candy Apple

PattyTherre — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:46:55 GMT

Quick View: I like Bath & Body Works' hand soaps and I recently bought nine different scents and types (I had a great coupon!). One that I bought was Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Winter Candy Apple. Normally I'm not a fan of the deep cleansing soaps and go for the moisturizing ones but I didn't see this scent in the moisturizing hand soap area so I bought the deep cleansing one. It is VERY sweet but doesn't seem to dry my hands out like the other deep cleansing soaps from BBW.

My Take on Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, Winter Candy Apple

I never smelled this scent but I knew candy apples are very sweet. I guess the name intrigued me. Winter Candy Apple. Is there a difference between summer and winter candy apples? I had to know so I bought the hand soap.

When I first tried this eight ounce pump soap, I was overwhelmed with the sweet candy scent. I smelled no apple at all, just the candy coating that the apples are dipped into. It...

Hateshousework says "The PedEgg Platinum Pro gave me beautiful heels" about As Seen On TV PedEgg Platinum Pro

Hateshousework — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:45:06 GMT

I usually do not pay much attention to the TV infomercials, but the PedEgg really piqued my interest. I decided to go ahead and try one. Amazing! It removed all of the dead dry skin from my heels and from a callus on my big toe. It was absolutely painless and my feet look great in sandals. I immediately bought another for my husband. This is not the kind of product you want to share with every member of the household. That would be like sharing a toothbrush. His feet were gross, but the Ped Egg smoothed them out and made his skin baby soft in no time. There were a couple of sick jokes about never having to buy grated parmesaen cheese again.

The Ped Egg Pro is a sleek little device that I will be using for years to come. The best thing is that you can buy replacement blades very inexpensively and you can find them practically everywhere you go. No more $25 dollar pedicures for me.

I recommended the PedEgg Pro to all my friends and I am recommending today! ...

ladym33 says "It's Nice to Have Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissues When Sick" about Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue

ladym33 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:58:21 GMT

Most of the year I just have what ever tissue was on sale or the cheapest hanging out in the tissue boxes in the house, however when there are members of the family that are sick and are sneezing and have runny noses I prefer to have a softer and stronger tissue for them to use.

When someone in the family is sick I tend to spend a little more on the tissues because they will just quickly go through the cheap ones and have constantly get a new tissue and the cheaper ones are just not soft on the nose either. That is why I like to get tissues such as Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong.

Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong are really soft. They feel quite nice on a red sore nose. They feel kind of silky actually.

Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong are also really strong. You can hang on the same tissue for some time before having to get rid of it. You will be able to completely use it up and it will not fall apart on you even if you keep it scrunched up in your hand and use several times.

dreadimepiece says "great for keeping the kids hands clean" about Germ-X Original Hand Sanitizer

dreadimepiece — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:29:09 GMT

my kids and i use this product daily. especially when we are outdoors, and can't get to a sink to wash our hands. it's convienent and safe to use multiple times a day. i allow my children to take small bottles of this hand sanitizer to school with them, to prevent them from coming in contact with most harmful bacteria. we all know of the h1n1 going around. this product is perfect for our children going to school daily. they are not always able to go to the bathroom to wash thier hands, so this product is especially good for them to carry around in thier backpacks, and use every time they change a class, or even just exchange something from another student or teacher. i live by this product because i know my kids are safe when they can't wash thier hands. i personally recommend this product to other mothers looking for a good way to keep thier kids safe at school. i will continue to use this product germ-x, for as long as it is on the shelf. i's cost effiecient, and very...

Katrena says "Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissues Great Product for Picky Buyer" about Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue

Katrena — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:40:19 GMT

Puffs Ultra Soft & Strong Tissue is actually quite soft and strong. I bought some of these when the generic kind that I usually buy were out. Frankly, I usually go for the cheapest tissues I can find. It's not like they can be re-used or that they will increase in value with age or anything!

What I like about these Puffs:

They are very soft--my kids especially like them when I have to go running after them with the tissues. They aren't as likely to make their noses as sore.
They are strong--Well, I wouldn't try to carry a watermelon on one or anything, but they do tend to hold up well.

What I don't like about these Puffs:

The price--I'm going to go with the best value I can find for the lowest price. Give me tissues in a white box. Don't make me pay for a name brand or cute pictures. I can cover up a boring box with a cover that I have in my bathroom. My nose doesn't really care about a brand.

My Viewpoint:

I guess I go for function over form. I'm not very picky about tissues (yes, a bit...

Meri says "Every Needy Nose needs Puffs..." about Puffs Plus Lotion

Meri — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:33:12 GMT

Tissues are a basic necessity for anyone with the flu, seasonal allergies or a cold. "Blow and Throw" is the reason why. After one blow into the tissue you simply throw the germs away. Many tissues are hard on the nose though. What, with all of the sneezing, blowing and wiping a nose can become red, chaffed and dry.

Puffs with lotion tissues are easy on the nose. Because they are layered with moisturizes they help combat the red, chafed nose syndrome. Included in the lotion is aloe to soothe, chamomile and vitamin E to heal as well as a touch of shea butter to comfort even the worst nasal drips. The tissues are strong yet have a soft, inviting feel to them unlike some of their sandpaper competitors. I feel as good about offering a Puffs to my grandchild as I do to my husband.

I keep several boxes of Puffs with lotion on hand all the time because you never know when a nose is going to need a tissue. I have a box in each bathroom and one in the family room. I can usually find a box design...

LisaCarey says "The name says it all " about Boogie Wipes Saline Wipes, Magic Menthol

LisaCarey — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:25:18 GMT

Ok, let's face it parents, kids are messy and with little ones trying to catch them to wipe their nose properly isn't always that easy. But now there is a way to wipe cleanly, easily, gently and thoroughly, getting your child's face clean and leaving no "boogies" left behind when you wipe with Boogie Wipes Saline Wipes, Grape Scented.

Boogie Wipes Saline Wipes, Grape Scented are wipes like many others, but designed especially for cleaning little faces of well, for lack of a better term, boogie and snot. It's not a pleasant thing to think about but it is pretty upsetting to see your child's face with dry crusty stuff all over it because they couldn't get their nose cleaned in time.

With Boogie Wipes Saline Wipes, Grape Scented parents and caregivers have a neat and clean way of wiping noses and faces. It smells so good too!

Sure, it's not the most eco-friendly way on the planet to keep my daughter's nose and face clean, but I like that I can reach in the package and get these handy...

kwhipkey says "Works better than any other tweezers I have tried." about Tweezerman Go Green Mini Slant Tweezer

kwhipkey — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:07:52 GMT

The Tweezerman Go Green Mini Slant Tweezers have been a purchase that I have felt really good with from the start. Yes, they can be a bit pricey, but it is well worth it for how well they work. I found out about this brand of tweezers through my sister-in-law, who let me borrow a pair when staying at her home. This produce works great! They make it easy to get even the finest, tiniest hairs when I am trimming my eyebrows and pulls them out cleanly. I love this travel pair when I am on the road, and of course I enjoy that part of the profit goes to green causes. I do warn others though that you should keep these in a safe place. If you leave them uncovered and go rooting around in your bag for something, the ends are very sharp and can give you quiet a pinch! Never again will I go back to boring dull cheap tweezers from the drugstore that do a terrible job. Tweezerman will be my choice from now on.

JustKate says "The PedEgg was not for me." about As Seen On TV Original PedEgg

JustKate — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:00:25 GMT

I bought the PedEgg a few months ago at CVS Pharmacy. I've seen their commercials a million times so I was interested. The first time I used it I think I rubbed my foot raw, which was my fault. User error. After doing that I tried to open the container to see my skin shavings (I'm sorry it's gross!) but the container wouldn't open! I'm trying so hard to open it and it finally comes flying open and its contents went all in my face! Again, EW! Even after five or six uses I was still having a hard time getting the container opened. Some people might like how small it is. It fits in the palm of your hand and it does help get rid of dry skin but I don't like the way it made my feet feel after shaving off all that dry skin. I think I'm going to stick to lotions for my dry skin problem. I only paid $19.99 so I'm not too upset about it. I just wouldn't recommend this product. I hope this helps!

smoky says "boogie wipes are neat" about Boogie Wipes Saline Wipes, Magic Menthol

smoky — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:07:19 GMT

I had gone to a new baby store in town to register my daughter in law/son for their second child and they gave me a store goody bag. It was fun to look thru the bag with my daughter in law and when we came to this flat package I was trying to read boogie and not come out with the booger word and realized I was seeing what I thought I was. We had a good laugh and I did not think any more of it but when we took the first child to daycare and a runny nose and oh no kleenex but wait here is this boogie wipe so lets try it. Knowing children do not like to have their noses wiped 99.9 percent of time and from experience with my granddaughter this was so neat, nice and what a pleasant difference. The scent was wonderful and it comes in grape which are even better. They are smooth, gentle and can be used for other wiping needs also and hey even the grownups with bad colds that do not like to carry bulky kleenex around this is so neat as it is tiny but can still work on big noses.

LoveisJoy says "Pocket-Sized Hand Gel Kills Germs; Wish it Smelled Nicer" about Bath & Body Works PocketBac Antibacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Gel

LoveisJoy — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:39:48 GMT

I guess it's not surprising that the PocketBac Antibacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Gel by Bath & Body Works has such a harsh smell. After all, it contains 60% alcohol. Still, I was so intrigued by the idea of the cute little pocket-sized bottles of germ fighters that I wanted to like it much more than I actually did. There are some good things to say about the PocketBac, but equally as many things that disappoint.

On the plus side, PocketBac hand gels are currently offered in 18 different Bath & Body Works signature fragrances. The 1-ounce plastic bottles are a mere 3 inches tall and a little over an inch wide. As such, they are incredibly portable and easy to throw in a bag, purse, or pocket. The regular prices is only $1.50, but you can often purchase them during the 5 for $5 sale.

Since I love the White Citrus fragrance, that's the scent I selected for my PocketBac. Unfortunately, the fresh and lively scent that I anticipated does not seem to translate well into a hand...

LoveisJoy says "No Irritation, No Harsh Smell, and No More Facial Hair" about Avon Skin So Soft Facial Hair Remover Cream

LoveisJoy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:16:47 GMT

I've been a fan of Avon's Skin So Soft bath products for years, so when I needed a new hair removal cream I felt good about trying the Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Facial Hair Removal Cream. Skin So Soft's bath and body products tend to be moisturizing to the skin and fragrant to the senses, so I felt sure that the brand wouldn't let me down with their version of hair removal. It turns out, I was right to trust them with the delicate skin on my face. Skin So Soft didn't let me down with this product.

Skin So Soft's facial hair removal cream comes in a very thin, 1-ounce tube with a contoured tip. The slender shape of the tube fits comfortably into my hand and makes it easy to control and apply the cream. The scent is described as a "refreshing, tropical blend of guava, yellow pear & raspberry." In my opinion, it didn't smell even remotely as wonderful as advertised, but it was much pleasanter than any facial depilatory cream that I have ever used. That says a lot.

As far as performance...

PattyTherre says "I really don't see much whitening with Crest Vivid White Night." about Crest Vivid White Night Toothpaste

PattyTherre — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:52:46 GMT

Quick View: I am a tough case when it comes to whitening my teeth because I drink loads of tea every day and have since I was a teen. On top of that, I enjoy Diet Coke and Pepsi daily as well. They stain teeth badly and getting those stains off is no easy task. It doesn't appear that Crest Vivid White Night Toothpaste is going to do more than other whitening toothpastes for me.

My Take on Crest Vivid White Night Toothpaste

This toothpaste comes in a 4.1 ounce tube, smaller than typical toothpaste tubes. It promises to loosen stains at night so that you can brush them away in the morning. I love that concept but then on the tube, it says to brush teeth morning and night with the toothpaste so is it a night product or an anytime one?

The toothpaste tastes fine. It is minty and fresh and does a good job cleaning my teeth and freshening my breath. After I brush, I do seem to have slightly whiter teeth but I think that is just because I do a really thorough job brushing at night and my teeth...
