These do work and are very thin. Problem is all the chemicals they use on the pads. My pelvic physiotherapist said in her classes her instructor had one big piece of advice for all women: "Always never!".
I personally have vaginismus, and while I haven't found any body wash or creams to irritate my vulva area I do find that I get a bit of irritation from wearing Always pads. Doesn't matter if they're thick or thin, with wings or without.
So I do not plan to buy the Always brand ever again and I will stick to the cheaper generic brands which are just as effective and are produced with less chemicals.

Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Refill Bags
I received the 30pk for my baby shower, which is actually a better price at $21.97 (not a dollar per bag as mentioned by one reviewer). I find these very easy to use and I much prefer the Munchkin's diaper pail over the Genie 2. I also found them to... +
I received the 30pk for my baby shower, which is actually a better price at $21.97 (not a dollar per bag as mentioned by one reviewer). I find these very easy to use and I much prefer the Munchkin's diaper pail over the Genie 2. I also found them to be effective in trapping in smells. I haven't tested on diapers yet as I'm due Dec. 27, but we tried it out with our two dogs' business and it worked fairly well. -

I received the Diaper Genie 2 for free and I would most definitely not spend the money on it. I'm actually looking to get another kind that has a foot peddle that we got bags for from my baby shower.
They say you can operate this with one hand, but good luck not getting a mess on your hand while having to forcefully push this through the hole at the top. It would be so much easier to just have a foot peddle and be able to drop the dirty diaper in.
I also don't like how you have to cut the bag away or the way the pail itself opens halfway down the pail. I like Munchkin's design better with the door on the front.

Beba Bean Pee-Pee Teepees & Laundry Bag
These are a cute idea, but completely useless. You're better off just putting a washcloth or something down over the penis to avoid getting sprayed on. Or have the second diaper handy and ready to swap the second you take away the old diaper.

$149.88 at Walmart, and had I not got it for free I wouldn't buy this. I would rather just use my own spot treatment and a little elbow grease.
The cleaner does work and does the job fairly quietly on its own. I've used it for larger puke stains from when my dogs were sick on the one single rug we have in our entire apartment (isn't that the way it always goes?). It comes with two very, very small sample cleaners which I was only able to get two uses out of. I'm currently looking to sell this as it's just taking up space in the closet and I don't think I'll ever use it again.
I think this would benefit someone who maybe has a puppy or a child who produces a lot of stains frequently. But I found I very rarely use this and most stains I was able to get out with whatever chemical of choice I had on hand and a bit of elbow grease.

They are a little more expensive than other sheets at $16.88 for the 2pk of flannel sheets at Walmart. But they're worth the extra buck or so.
I think they shrank a little bit on the first wash, but the colour held up beautifully. I got the red/yellow/blue stripe sheet and the pale blue sheet set for my baby shower.
The material is very soft and the sheets fit my crib mattress perfectly. They are 100% cotton, 160 thread count and are 28" x 52". They feel very thick and like they will last for many years to come.
I definitely recommend getting this sheet set and I plan on going out and picking up a few more since I know only having 2 sheets is not enough.

I like the consistency of the lotion, but the smell! Oh my god, it's so overpowering! I haven't had baby yet, but I thought I would try this on my own skin (also trying to put on products that baby will be using to get my dogs used to the scent and find it familiar). I cannot stand the smell of this, way too perfumey. I'm glad I didn't buy this and it came free with some baby clothes that someone donated to me. -

Whether or not Proactiv works for you depends on your skin and your type of acne. For my husband and his mom it worked really well. For me, it was just too drying for my combination skin. Even after cutting back on the benzoyl peroxide solutions, I found it to make my skin red and I didn't see it working any better for the minimal amount of pimples I had over any other more reasonably priced acne solution.
If you are completely covered in pimples and losing hope, I say give this a try. If you just have the occasional pimple or maybe just one spot that always seems to get pimples, I recommend just buying benzoyl peroxide by itself and using that as a spot treatment. It will work just as good as Proactiv. Use it in combination with a wash or cream that has Salicyic acid.
It also comes down to the price and size of containers. They don't last long if you use them as directed and the price is just way too steep for the average person. Maybe that's why all the endorsers are celebrities. They can afford to spend this much on their skin care.

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

I absolutely love the taste of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. But it is so so so expensive! For such a small container, it's just not worth the price. I haven't bought it in years because the price is just too high considering I can get another brand that's more than triple the size for less money. Yes, it's not as good, but for me that's what's in my budget.
Now if budget isn't an issue, I would definitely say go out and buy loads of this yummy ice cream! But if you're anything like me, $5 for pretty much a bowl serving of ice cream just isn't worth it.

I tried these last night and thought they were absolutely horrible. It tastes like eating a potato skin. Not loaded or even like the nice creamy white potatoy bit, but the disgusting skin. My husband liked them. I hated them. They are reasonably priced like any other Ruffles chips, but I absolutely hate this flavour. -
