Product review: Hippo&Crate Toothbrush with Bamboo Charcoal bristles Pack of 4 (black toothbrush)

Image
This toothbrush is soft and feel gentle on my gums.  I have to admit that I got it because I liked the black look. It fits nicely into my black and white bathroom.  I also like that the toothbrushes come with a cap, which makes this toothbrush also good for travel.

Product review: Shampoo and Conditioner Hair Care System - 3 Piece Gift Box by Hot Tresses

Image
This shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer set smells have an  minty scent with earthy background. It is not what I would describe a flowery scent This shampoo has no parabens and it is fairly low suds shampoo. I thought my hair looked good after washing  - clean and shiny. On weekends when I have more time I also use leave-in moisturizer. It works best when you air dry you hair and even though I am in the rush in the mornings I let my hair dry naturally on the weekends. The moisturizer leaves my hair feeling softer and I hope it is good for it as well. The set was nicely packaged, and each tube was foil sealed.  The tubes can stand on the caps but are a little wobbly.  After using them in the shower for a few days I managed to knock them down a few times and now they are upside down in a caddy which keeps them from falling down. If I wanted to  change anything I would make the containers more stable when they are free standing on their caps. Overall, I am pleased w...

Product review: MHU 1875W Folding Hair Dryer Dual Voltage Blow dryer

Image
Nice hair dryer! The handle can be bent so the while bundle becomes pretty compact to travel.  It has how and low temperature, cold and hot air flow, and an air constrictor.   The air constricter did not stay firmly on, the connection was quite loose and it came off a few times while I used it.

Product review: Female Urination Device (Universal Portable Urinal)

Image
Does it work?  Yes. But it does takes some practice to find the right position and angle to avoid drips and getting your clothing wet. Try practicing in the shower before taking it on the road. The device comes without instruction of how to position it. One side is longer and one side is shorter. The best position is with the long side up, which makes the tip point slightly up and thus directs the stream away from you and your clothing. The device arrived quite misshapen, it was flattened and narrow.  However I was able to improve the funnel's shape by reshaping it under hot water and making it wider and oval shaped.  The device is made out relatively stiff silicone, it is not floppy, which is good as it reduces the risk of spills. Woman's underwear is not designed to be use with such a device, so you have to drop your garments and risk exposure but it less noticeable than squatting. It works very well in a messy porta potty where exposure is not a problem. Shop around fo...

Product review: Honeymomo Diaper Refill Bags

Image
This listing contains plastic bags with a ring closure. They were similar to the original orange Munchkin bags. The Munchkin pail is not part of this listing.  The closes easily, it holds the smells well. To see how tightly it closes I conducted a water test. I emptied a container of water, closed the ring, and turns it upside down.  There were a were drops of water as I turned it (from the sides), but once I turned it upside down it did not leak.  So though it is not waterproof (nor does it claim to be) the closure is pretty tight, good for holding in the bad odor.
