deborahg says "Best diaper pail I've tried" about Baby Trend Diaper Champ

deborahg — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 01:00:17 GMT

I have owned four diaper pails, and this one is by far the best. It contains the odors better than the Diaper Dekor, Diaper Genie II, and the other one I had (can't remember the brand name). It's easy to operate with one hand (while the other hand holds baby steady on the changing pad). It uses regular trash bags--which is a huge convenience and money saver.

As a mother of three, I can highly recommend this to anyone who is shopping for a new diaper pail.

I have not had any problems with my older children trying to drop in toys. Actually, my 4-year-old loves to help me turn the handle to throw away diapers.

It's not gross when you have to change the bag. No big deal at all.

Does it contain the smell 100%? Of course not. Nothing does. But this one works better than the others I've tried.

deborahg says "My 8-month-old LOVES this thing!" about Fisher Price Deluxe Jumperoo

deborahg — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:55:42 GMT

This is my third child, so we've tried just about every contraption you can plop a baby or toddler into. This one is my favorite. My 8-month-old LOVES it, and happily bounces for up to 20 minutes at a time. She gets a lot of exercise in this thing--much more than in the exersaucer or any other stationary seat.

It does take up quite a bit of room, but for me it's worth it. I find it lightweight and easy to move around the house.

deborahg says "Clunky handle, nothing special" about BIC Soleil Triple Blade Razor with Lube Strip For Women

deborahg — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:51:55 GMT

I'm glad I got these for free (by buying them on sale and using a coupon) because I didn't like these razors at all. The handle is large and curved in such a way that made it difficult to hold and angle properly. I didn't like shaving with it at all, and quickly threw it out so I could go back to my usual Daisy razors.

deborahg says "Creamy, rich, lovely body wash" about Dove Cream Oil Body Wash

deborahg — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:49:27 GMT

I normally use higher-end body washes rather than drugstore products. But something about this Dove body wash caught my eye and I decided to try it. I absolutely love it. The consistency is creamy and rich, and lathers just enough. It smells wonderful--a much more "natural" and subtle scent than you'll usually in find in this price range. Best of all, it is extremely moisturizing and left my skin feeling soft and smooth, even before applying lotion. Can't wait to try the other scents!

deborahg says "Sticky, messy, did NOT dissolve" about Listerine Instant Dissolving Whitening Strips Clean Mint 56 Each

deborahg — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:45:46 GMT

I could not have been more disappointed with these strips. They did NOT dissolve--ever--for me. They stayed on my teeth, sticky and gross--for up to half an hour. That's as long as I could stand it until I had to scrub them off. They are very hard to remove. I would stand in the shower and let the water run onto my teeth while I tried to scrape off all the goop with my fingertips. I tried them for a few days before giving up. My teeth did not look whiter at all.

deborahg says "Excellent car seat" about Britax Roundabout

deborahg — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:43:20 GMT

As owners of two cars and three children, we have owned several Britax Roundabout car seats and have been consistently pleased. They are sturdy, comfortable, and the straps hold up well to years of use. My parents and inlaws have owned several other (cheaper) brands, and I always notice how much I prefer the Britax seats compared to all the other brands.

deborahg says "Strong bleach smell bothered me." about Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface Daily Sanitizing Spray

deborahg — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:35:06 GMT

I bought this product hoping to use it on my baby's highchair and my children's place mats after meals, along with other spots around the kitchen and dining room. I thought it would be similar to some of the child-friendly spray cleaners I had bought in the past. But this one has a strong bleach smell that made me hesitate to use it on the kids' eating surfaces. It didn't seem right to spray it on the highchair unless I rinsed with water afterward--and that was more work than I wanted.
