The rise snaps accommodate a baby from about 8lbs and the front elastic really makes things comfortable for a chunky wiggly babe.
Only thing I've found is the elastic seems to be relaxing, meaning I'll have to tear out and replace the elastics (easier than it sounds if you can operate a sewing machine and have a general knowledge of diaper construction).
Pros:
One size from birth to potty train
Lots of colours
Comfortable fit
Ruffled elastic is easy on legs and chunky bellies
Cons:
Elastics seem to have relaxed faster than other brands of cloth diapers

So a lot of mom's use a pump to supplement nursing session, to give dad a chance to feed babe or for a night off.
I, on the other hand, exclusively pump, since birth, to breastfeed my baby.
Exclusively pump, you say?!!? Yep- you heard me. My baby won't latch and I wanted to give him the best of the best, so off I went on my second pumping journey.
I pump and breastfed my second daughter (mom of 3) so I had a good idea of what this pump was all about.
It's not fancy, and it's not as gentle as some pumps, its pretty noisy, and it doesn't come with a huge price tag but it's the best pump I've ever owned and used.
I've put just under 500 hours on my newest pump in 8 months. It's great and never let's me down. I replace my duck bills and membranes every month to keep things running tip top.
All in all, while its not fancy or quiet, it's a great pump. Parts are cheap for it, it comes with multiple sizes of flanges, it's a work horse and hasn't failed me yet!
Pros:
Easy to use
Parts are cheap
Price point for a double electric pump is far below comparables
Multiple flange sizes to choose from
Collection bottles are great to use and easy to wash
Cooler bag is great
Car adapter makes pumping on the go easy
Cons:
Noisy
Not as gentle as other pumps

I'm a body shop girl and usually use the coconut body Butter. After running out of my old faithful, I decided to give this a try.
I'm hooked. It's great for the summer when you don't need as much moisture, goes on great and dries to a silky smooth finish.
It smells fantastic, the price is great and it works well!

I decided to give this a try rather my my traditional wax strips.

I'm no stranger to home waxing. I've used strips, home made sugar wax, pot wax...you name it.
I gave this stuff a few tries over a week period; a few tries on short hair, medium hair and long hair.
The best results I got was from spreading a super thin layer on my arm hair and letting it sit with the removal strip on for almost 5 mins. It only removed about 70% of the hair and hurt so bad.
I wouldn't recommend this product at all.

This stuff seriously saved my hair!
After years of abuse from lightning and using heat tools on my hair, it was fried.
After using the extreme line for shampoo and conditioner I was recommended this product by a friend.
The price point is a bit on the higher end but it works so well it's worth every penny.
1 month of use and my hair is breaking far less, looks and feels healthier, and responds better to heat styling.
If your hair needs help- this is the product for you!!
