Universal Comfy Co Mattress Protector Pad


Being a mom is wonderful. Yes you have a ton of clothes to wash, a ton of bottles to clean out and a lot of toys to put away. But have you ever thought about what could be on your babies mattress? You know they pee through diapers, they drool and I am positive that they get lot of boogers all over the sheets. I am guessing that most of that soaks through the sheets and onto the mattress which down the road, could cause mold. Those sheets won't protect that mattress from bed bugs or anything else for that matter. But don't worry, there is something you could use to make your babies mattress live a lot longer.

The Universal Comfy Co Protector Pad is 100 percent waterproof and a safe material for your baby. It is soft, quilted and padded, plus it is breathable. These protector pads are thick, but not too thick to were it is uncomfortable for baby to sleep on. It doesn't contain chemicals so don't fret about it giving off a terrible smell. The best part, it isn't noisy. It is soft, but when you wash it, it becomes even softer! It probably would be best to wash it first then place it onto the mattress.

It fits very snug and will prevent bed bugs or any other type of bug from crawling underneath and in between the sheets and the mattress itself.

My personal experience:
When I opened the package, I was certain that it was going to be a plastic, see through sheet or made from some type of materials packed with a ton of chemicals. To my surprise, it was just a nice white cloth sheet with mesh that fits snug around the corners of the mattress. It was really soft and nicely padded. When I first laid it on top of the mattress, I was hoping that it wouldn't bunch up too much because it could be harmful. It laid very flat and was very tight around the corners of the mattress. 
Here is a picture of the protector pad on the mattress. Very snug fitting!
Second, I had my 2 year old boy lay down on it and play for a little bit to see how much noise the material would make when rubbed up against the mattress.  To my surprise, it didn't make more noise then a regular sheet would make. Nobody wants a noisy, obnoxious protector pad!

After this, I laid my youngest down for his nap. He usually sleeps for about 3-4 hours. He woke up 20 minutes later. I wasn't sure if it was the protector pad or not. The sheet is fairly soft, but I would wash it first. I placed a regular crib sheet on top of the protector pad and laid my son back down. He slept much longer.  I don't want to say this is a bad thing because it is brand new and needs to be broke in and washed. 
Here is a picture of what the protector pad looks like up close
Lastly, after my son woke up, I noticed a little wet spot. Was it pee, was it drool? I have no clue but it was wet. I checked under the sheet and looked at the protector pad. It leaked through the regular sheet and onto the protector pad. Luckily, the pad lives up to its description. It did not leak through the protector pad! Saved by the pad!

Here is a picture of what underneath looks like. You will see where I am coming from when I mention that I thought it would be noisy.
All in all, it is a great product. I really like it thus far.

Amara Organics Eye Gel



The Amara Organics Total Repair Eye Gel is an eye cream for dark circles and puffiness. It is one of the best natural and organic under eye gel treatment for not only wrinkles, but for bags under your eyes and crows feet. The ingredient list is fairly long but it is natural, vegan and cruelty free. 
Below is a picture of the ingredients!
Note that it shows that the product is 99 percent natural and 75 percent organic!


The Amara Organics Eye Gel is a light weight formula that is packed with ingredients meant for all eye area concerns. The Cucumber soothes and awakens the puffy eyes. The Hyaluronic Acid will plum and hydrate while the plant stem cells rejuvenate skin on the cellular level.  This means you can say good bye to all those dark circles, that horrible puffiness, bags and crows feet!

Since this is a gel, it glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly. You are left with no greasy residue and leaves your skin feeling silky, smooth and hydrated.

Amara Organics use only the best, natural plant based ingredients that are available. Meaning there are no parabens, no alcohol and no animal testing. Plus, the products are made in the USA.

This may say "Eye Gel" but you are able to apply this all over your face and neck. Best around your lips and can be applied to your hands to slow aging.

My personal experience and thoughts:I have a lot of redness on my cheeks and pretty bad dark circles (I am a mom of 2 boys, you can imagine how much sleep I get....I mean, how much i DON'T get). I haven't used many eye gels because I have always felt that there was no possible way to get rid of it. Except hide it under some thick foundation! 







I applied a little bit, The above picture was enough to cover under both eyes. I loved how it felt. Instant soothing feeling. As it started to dry, I could feel it tighten up a little bit. I loved how this did not leave a sticky residue. Although I cannot honestly tell you that I have gotten rid of my dark circles. I am sure those won't go away until both my kids sleep through the night. But I can honestly say that under my eyes certainly look refreshed and hydrated. They don't look dry and puffy. 


I do want to say that it was best used when I woke up and at night right after a shower. The smell was wonderful. It was a very light scented gel. It is hard to explain, it was as if you could smell that it was natural. It did not have that strong perfume scent. It was rather a refreshing scent. I applied this product lest then 45 minutes ago and I can still feel it tightening up. It really is a wonderful product. I also want to mention that I have sensitive skin and it did not cause me to itch, swell or feel uncomfortable, I recieved one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Children's Advil Sugar Free Pain Relief, 4 ounce

Chadvil product 208x208

The New Children's Advil is the only sugar-free and dye-free children's fever reducer and pain reliever. You can help your child get the relief they need without the sugars. It has up to 8 hours of fever relief with only one dose. the berry flavor is a taste your kids will love. Although, this product is only intended for children ages 2-11 years old.

I personally have never used Advil, even for headaches. So at first, I did not know much about Children's Advil. My 2 year old rarely ever got sick, but about 2-3 weeks ago, he woke up at 4:30 in the morning with a fever of over 103. MY first reaction was to take him straight to the emergency room. But my husband reminded me that we had plenty of fever reducer. Without even thinking about it, I reached for the Children's Tylenol to reduce the fever. It worked, and he went back to sleep. 


About 8 in the morning, his fever has still spiked to 103. I then busted open the Children's Advil Sugar Free Pain Relief. His temperature slowly started to drop through out the next couple of hours. I was very impressed with how fast acting the Children's Advil was.


As far as the smell and taste, well the smell was pretty good. It did not smell like a strong medicine. As far as taste, I did not taste it but like most kids, it was hard to get him to take it. It comes with a cup, but I placed the medicine into a syringe and gave it to him like that. It seemed a little easier doing it that way.


The only other thing that I was not impressed with was the writing. The instructions and ingredients is very small lettering. I had a hard time reading it, even when I put my reading glasses on. I know most medicine is every 6 hours, but there are some that is every 4 or even every 8.


All in all, my son got over his fever within a couple days and started eating and drinking more. 3 weeks later, and he is 100 percent!


I got this product free from Smiley360, all opinions are my own.



iPhone 6 Plus Case - IceFox Crystal Clear Case Bumper



IceFox has always been a big hit in our family. Their products are always pretty strong and sturdy. This case was a little different though. Although the iPhone case is made to fit the speakers, the camera and other ports, I found it a little like it was made for looks rather then for protection. The case is very light but it was built to provide well rounded protection. I was actually afraid to drop it to see if it would protect the phone. I honestly don't feel like this ultra slim case would protect much at all. 

It states that the surface is fingerprint resistant. That is, if you don't have anything on your fingers. If you put a dry finger on the case then yes, it will not show. But if you just ate something that is a little greasy, and you even dried your hands off first, the finger print will show.

It also has an anti-dust plug headphone jack. I love this feature. I have always hated trying to clean a headphone jack. It is such a small port. I also love all the cute dust plug charms that are out there (that is a plus!)

Another thing that I do like about this case, is that it is clear. I can decorate it however I want to. Some people like the look of the iPhone and choose to keep the clear aspect of the case. I on the other hand, love a little color or design.

Personally, if you think that you won't drop your phone or not looking for a case for protection, then the IceFox Crystal Clear Case Bumper is for you. If you want protection, I would go for an otterbox case,. They have double protection (a gel lining and then a thicker case that pops on top of the gel lining).

Inside Smarts #1 Best Wash Bag






InsideSmarts sells the #1 wash bag made from premium grade mesh, which makes them strong and durable. They are perfect for your dedicates, as they extend the life of your lingerie and other clothing. You are able to wash your dark colors safely and easily separated. As the pack comes with 3 white mesh bags and 1 black mesh bag.

Another great concept of the InsideSmarts wash bags are they keep everything in its place. You get 2 medium and 2 large bags. You can use the large black mesh bag for dark colors, the large white for other clothing and the medium white bags for underwear and socks. the medium ones are PERFECT for keeping socks together. No more losing your socks in the washing machine.

The other great concept of the InsideSmarts wash bags are that they are quiet and safe.  Other zippered laundry bags can be noisy due to the zipper. The InsideSmarts wash bags are made with rustproof zippers and a zipper guard that you slide the zipper under. Keeps the noise down and keeps the zipper from opening up in the washer or dryer.

My Experience:
So first of all, I do not really have that much 'lingerie' so I placed mine and my husbands socks into one of the medium bags, placed my two son's socks into the second medium bag, placed my sons pajamas into the white large bag and placed some of my sons darker pants unto the large black bag. They fit nicely and were very easy to zip. At first I thought maybe I had placed to much into the bags, but after washing them and drying them, you could smell the laundry detergent on them (meaning to me, that they were cleaned).

The first load I only added the 4 bags to the wash then placed them into the dryer. I placed 1 dryer sheet in the dryer. All the clothes were dried and no static! When I turned the dryer on, I barely heard any noise from the mesh bags. Funny thing though, one of the bags I did not zip up all the way past the zipper guard and the clothes still stayed in the bag. I was actually pretty impressed with it.

My second load I changed it up a bit. I placed the 4 bags into the washer, along with some shirts. I then placed them into the dryer. I added 1 dryer sheet and turned it on. After the timer went off, I expected the clothes to still be pretty damp. They were fully dried. I really love the breathable mesh material.

i really love being able to keep all the socks in one place. It was so much easier to fold clothes when all our socks were in one bag and all my sons were in another bag. I think it cut my laundry time down by a few minutes.

Pictured below are the two large mesh wash bags.

Pictured below is the medium white mesh bag (You get two, but I only took a picture of one)

Lansinoh mOmma Bottle with NaturalWave Nipple

(Caution: the words "nipple" and "breast" are used in this review. Mature eyes only! He he)

The Lansinoh mOmma Bottle with NaturalWave Nipple was clinically proven to reduce nipple confusion with breastfed babies. Meaning they were able to switch from breast to bottle and back to breast without problems. The silicone nipple enables the baby to engage in the natural sucking actions that were learned at the breast. Which made things much easier for baby.

The Lansinoh mOmma Bottle is BPA and BPS free and it can also be used to store breast milk in either the refrigerator or the freezer. They are also compatible with the Lansinoh Signature Pro and manual breast pumps.
Lansinoh


My Personal Experience:
I breastfeed my baby whenever he needs to be fed, duh. On occasion, it is nice to take a little break, or more like, give my breasts a break! It was also nice to see my husband bond with out little boy. It was simple to place breast milk into the bottle and feed it to my son.

We tried other bottles before receiving the Lansinoh mOmma Bottle and at first it was rough. He had the hardest time latching onto the nipple of the bottle. Sometimes, the milk would leak from the corner of his mouth. Resulting in a mess that just was not necessary. Many of them had a very long nipple and very wide bottom. He latched on with ease with the mOmma bottle. The nipple of the bottle is not long and it slowly curves into the base of the nipple. It isn't wide either.

He didn't choke as if he was getting too much too fast, which I expected to happen. It was nice to see him suck on the bottle with ease, and then easily latch back onto the breast.


Pros:
  • Baby can easily latch onto bottle's nipple and then back to the breast with ease.
  • Perfect size to easily put into diaper bag or even a purse.
  • Clear measurements on the back.
  • Slow flow nipple lets the baby eat without taking too much in at once.
  • Thick silicone nipple, which does not tear easily.
  • Easy to clean.
  • Fits into bottle warmers nicely.
Cons:
  • Hard to tell sometimes if the lid is secured tightly.
  • Often time milk will leak from where the cap is screwed onto the bottle.
  • Sometimes, milk will leak from where the nipple is placed inside the cap.

All in all, it is a good bottle to have on hand, specially for those who breastfeed and bottle feed.

Julius Jr Invento Cycle


Julius Jr, Invento cycle is a pull back and watch it zoom by type of toy. Although he is not pictured in this photo as my son has "misplaced" the cute little monkey figurine. Also known as, Julius Jr. 

At first I did not think it would go so fast, but it keeps up with most of my sons other pull back cars. Julius doesn't stay in the motorcycle very well though,. It would have been nice if there was a little connector inside that would actually hold him. I also enjoy the rather simple colors of it. My son loves blue and is constantly showing me and pointing to the toy saying, "blue".

I also really like that there aren't any small pieces to this toy. Therefor kids won't be able to choke on any pieces. It is very simple and basic but fun for a 2 year old. Although my son loves cars of any type so he could play with it all day. 



And of course dad loves to play with the toy as well. Sometimes I find him playing with it rather than our son! It's what guys do!




I received this product from Chatterbox and this review is my own personal opinion.

Children 'n Us Stroller Organizer


Children 'n Us Stroller Organizer is a bag that you can rely on regardless of where you are heading. The best aspect of the bag is that it can strap onto the stroller and even the front of a bicycle. It has storage compartments on the inside, as well as some on the outside of the bag. It makes your traveling rather easy, a lot easier to carry this bag rather then a huge diaper bag.

It's one of the larger stroller organizers on the market. It has a pocket that you can put your phone (or anything you would like of course), a velcro pocket to hold other items such as pacifiers, there are two insulated bottle spots (I used it for my sons sippy cup and the other for my drink), a zipper pocket to store more important items such as your keys and then of course, the big inside to carry diapers, wipes and even a change of clothes!





It has an adjustable strap that will attach onto pretty much anything. It fit on both the umbrella stroller and the bigger travel sized stroller that we own. It can be used for more than just a stroller/diaper bag. You can put your kids favorite toys in there along with a drink and put it in the car for a car organizer just for your kids items.

I used it like a diaper bag/hand bag. I put my sons diapers, a sippy cup, a change of clothes and wipes into it. Along with a drink for myself. I could have put a lot more into it but I only brought the items I knew I really needed.


I love that it is a nice black bag. I love all the pockets and how convenient the bag is. It is a perfect fit for our umbrella stroller when we go out for walks. Upon adding all the items into the bag, I found that it was actually much lighter then carrying his diaper bag. The diaper bag is so big that I have a ton of extra space and it just goes to waste. I like having something simple and compact. I especially love that my husband can find everything when I ask him to grab our sons diapers or a toy, etc. Very organized!

Purex Crystals Aromatherapy + Giveaway


Purex Crystals Aromatherapy is an in wash scent booster. Floral and citrus scents were blended with aromatherapy essential oils to infuse your clothing with very refreshing aromas. These Purex Crystals are a new product which comes in the scents:
  • Well Being- A happy fragrance of fresh blossoms
  • Energy- A stimulating scent of citrus
  • Serenity- A gentle scent of water lilies




You simply add the Purex Crystals Aromatherapy into your washers tub at the start of each wash to supplement your laundry detergent. It works in top, front loading and HE washers. 


How much you use is totally up to you. Add a lot or add a little bit. I personally only add about maybe a quarter size into my washer and the clothes came out smelling citrus-y. In a good way, it showed me that even a little bit goes a long way. I do not add the Purex Crystals Aromatherapy into my washer each load I do, personally I only add it to my husband and I's clothing. I feel that the scent might be a little much to have on baby clothes and the fact that we do not know if the baby will be allergic to it.

As shown in the first picture of this blog, I received the Energy Aromatherapy scent and absolutely love it. It feels nice to put a load into the wash, and after it is done, being able to smell the refreshing scent of citrus on your clothes. I don't know about you guys, but the smell of all those clean clothes, it is amazing! I may just have to try all the scents and keep them stock piled!

now for the exciting news, any of you guys want to try out one of these Purex Crystals Aromatherapy? Now you have a chance. The amazing people at The Purex Insiders, have given me a few coupons to giveaway! You are able to get one of those three scents that were mentioned. It will be in a form of a coupon and will be sent directly from me! 3 Winners! It will last a week and the coupon expires on the 30th of November. Just enter through the raffleccopter! GOOD LUCK!




 The Purex Brand provided me with a sample of Purex Crystals Aromatherapy in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Dead Sea Salt Soap - 100% Natural Face and Body Soap for Dry Skin


First let me say that I am not a huge bar soap person because it always leaves my skin feeling very dry and itchy. This product on the other hand, was very different. I am not going to say that it has completely changed my mind on my view on bar soap, but Adovia 100 percent natural bar soap is definitely a good bar soap in my opinion. 

This moisturizing mineral soap is infused with 100 percent Dead Sea Salt from the Dead Sea. The Sea Salt contains over 21 minerals that are key to healthy skin and beauty! This particular soap is great for dry and normal skin. It provides moisture and hydrates the body. Not to mention that it can be used for a daily moisturizing facial cleanser. 

After viewing the product description, I noticed that it hydrated the body. Of course that was pretty obvious to me once I was done using it. I naturally have pretty dry skin, so getting out of the shower after using bar soap and not itching was a plus for me. I do want to say that it worked great on my stretch marks. I am currently pregnant, and having itchy skin from that does not help. I loved the feeling of hydration from using this on my sides and stomach (which is where the stretch marks happen to be). I must say that it has a strong smell, but it is not overwhelming. Meaning you can still smell the soap after rinsing, drying, getting dressed and leaving the bathroom. It has a very natural and refreshing scent. Very relaxing.

The only thing that I found that I did not like about the soap was, although it does not leave residue on your skin after rinsing, but it does leave some white residue on the bottom of the tub after the water has completely drained. It was all over our bath tub mat. It is not a huge deal but we do have to rinse it off every time the soap was used. (I do have to say that the soap is now gone. It was used every shower time!)

All in all, I really liked the soap. As I mentioned earlier, it does not completely change my thoughts on other bar soaps, but it has opened my eyes to Dead Sea Salt Soaps!

Pet Urine Stain Finder



Product information:
This urine pet finder is a blacklight flashlight and is perfect for all pet owners. Can you smell urine but just can't seem to find where it is coming from? This little handy flashlight will show you where the stain is coming from. the blacklight will show you the stain that you cannot see with your eyes under normal lighting.

This product works by reacting with certain chemicals in the urine that fluoresce under ultra violet light. The stains will light up under the blacklight.

My experience:
I love the fact that it is a small flashlight and does not take up a lot of space. It works best if you wait until it is pretty late at night. I did it around 9 pm when it was darker. I turned the lights off and I knew there was a spot that one of the dogs had an accident at. I could not see the stain under the blacklight. Which does not mean the product does not work because I could have cleaned the stain up pretty good. I then knew that the couch might be a place to look. To my surprise, it was a mess. I was so scared to even sit on the couch after seeing what mess the animals had left on the couch. The light literally lit up my couch like a Christmas tree!

I also tried next to the cat box. I was not surprised at how much of a mess it was over there. the whole corner was covered with stains from urine. I never new how many stains there could be from your animals until I looked under the blacklight.  I honestly am scared to continue to use it, as I don't want to see anymore horrible messes!

My final thought:
I would recommend this product to pet owners. It is light weight and only takes a couple batteries. We have 3 dogs and 5 cats, so I am sure it will work if you have a few more pets then most :)

Swaggable!





Hey everyone!

So today I thought of doing something a little different! I thought I would write about Swaggable! For those of you that do not know what it is, stay tuned because I will be explaining it and giving you my honest review about it!

First let me begin by saying that Swaggable is a company that allows individuals to connect with them and are offered free samples of newer products that you, the user are interested in trying. Doesn’t sound like a bad idea? The only thing they want is an honest review! You are even offered coupons throughout your free membership!

Here are a few simple steps so you can better understand what Swaggable is all about.
First you tell them what YOU want! They give you a category and you tell them whether you are interested in that or not! Then they send you products based on what you actually like.

Second is once you signed up, they start looking for samples for you right away! You will always get an email and/or notification from them letting you know that there is a product waiting for you to accept! The only thing is it’s on a first come first serve basis so try to act quickly and accept the invitation. Then all you have to do is wait 1-2 weeks after the ship date to receive your product.

Third, after you receive your product, try it and review it! Swaggable makes it easy for you to write your review. It does not need to be written on your blog, it is just a simple, honest review on their site under the product you received. They also allow you to share the review on Facebook and Twitter! They do notice the users who write good reviews and those individuals are given a priority for new products. So give it the best you got.

Then, after that, you wait for another notification to pop up in your profile and do the same process!

Now onto my experience!

I have been with Swaggable for a little over a year now. I have only received 3 products to try and review. Let me say that this is not their fault. I had forgotten to log into my Swaggable account for a few months and noticed that I had missed 4…yes I said it, 4 invitations. So from my own experience, keep a look out on your profile because they come and go very fast!

The site itself is a bit confusing at first. They recently changed the look and feel of it. Once you get a hang of it, it is pretty simple. You can follow your friends, make new friends and read other people’s reviews.
If you ever have a question, they have a section for faq’s. Also they allow you to email them and they respond fairly quick. Let me remind you, they are a big company so do not expect your answer to be answered in an hour. It took them a day to get back to me and I was very pleased with the answer. They do not send you in circles. They get back to you with a full answer.

The products I tried were a protein bar, a face mask and all natural hemp hearts. They have a wide variety of products to test and review. It is a great way to get you introduced to new things and to get your honest opinion about the products to those companies looking for your opinion.

This is my honest review of the company.

ImmortalEnergy



If you are like me, and constantly searching for a new energy product that will help, look no further. Immortal Energy will not give you the jitters, no caffeine and no sugar rush that is often associated with energy drinks and/or pills. Immortal Energy assists with muscular strength and endurance, increase in concentration and memory, has anti-inflammatory properties, regulates metabolism, and enhances the immune system and wards of infections by assisting the skin to eliminate toxins. The best time to take these pills is right when you start feeling fatigued or mentally drained because these are designed to give you that extra boost to get through the rest of the day.

For those of you that love to look at what is in these products, here is a list of ingredients in these pills:

DEER ANTLER (LU RONG)
Deer antler is widely used in Asia, and now throughout the world, to strengthen adrenal, reproductive and brain functions. It is mainly used as a rejuvenating agent. Short term use is believed to quickly build strength and power, while consistent long-term use is believed to re-build deep life force, preserve youthfulness and to enhance longevity.

ASTRAGALUS (HUANG QI)
For centuries people have used astragalus root to enhance strength and regulate metabolism. Chinese medicine uses astragalus root to enhance the body’s energy, known as “qi”.  Astragalus root is also been shown to protect the adrenal cortex, the gland that produces hormones related to stress. It may also help allergy sufferers by strengthening the immune system’s response to allergens in the environment.

GINSENG (REN SHEN)
Ginseng is used for improving thinking, concentration, memory, work efficiency, physical stamina, and athletic endurance which have a significant impact on our energy levels.

SCHIZANDRA (WU WEI ZI)
Schizandra is known as the five-flavor fruit; it has each of the five flavors (sweet, spicy, sour, salty, and acidic).  It’s one of the most famous herbs used in Chinese medicine. This herb is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to sharpen concentration, improve memory, and increase alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, schizandra does not produce nervousness when increasing energy. In fact, some people consider schizandra mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and improved focus.

I was given a 3 day sample to try, which included 4 pills to take every day for 3 days.

My personal experience:
I took these when I started to feel fatigued, which is usually around 3pm. I felt a slight boost in energy, no bloated feeling, no crash, although I could feel when it was wearing off because I felt like I was going back to my "normal" feeling. I noticed that I felt hungry faster, as if the pills were helping my metabolism regulate. I could concentrate longer and I felt like my mind was much clearer. 

The pill is a natural herb, so if you prefer not to take a pill, you can open them up and add it to water and/or tea. I was able to easily swallow them. There was no taste, nor was there any weird after taste. They did not have a smell to them, which is always a plus for me.

To be honest, I would recommend these pills. I love the no crash feeling and no jittery feeling. The best part, made with all natural herbs! Who wouldn't want that?

Cottonelle Clean Crew

click to expand


As stated on their website, Don't just wipe, wash with Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Cleansing Cloths, and experience a more confident clean." 

These wipes are flushable and since they break up after flushing, they are sewer and septic safe! They are alcohol free and are great for everyone!

First let me mention that I received this product free from a community website called Crowdtap. You can do quick hits that will earn you points to be entered into monthly drawings. Prizes include gift cards! You can also have the chance to get into sample and shares and parties! I was able to get into the Cottonelle Clean Crew sample and share.

At first glance, it does not look like anything you would use to, well, wipe your bum with. It comes in a very sleek looking container, which blended very well in the bathroom. They pretty much look and feel like a baby wipe! I was a bit nervous to try it out because of if being a wet napkin, and wasn't to sure if it would be safe! But hey, we use them on babies bottoms don't we?

I used one and to be completely honest, one just doesn't feel right. One cloth is just to thin. I feel like my fingers are going to rip through it. To be honest, who uses only one sheet of toilet paper? I know I don't. 

I would buy these, since you can refill the container rather then going and getting rolls of toilet paper all the time. With my experience, I would use at least two wipes, just to make sure you get that clean feeling.

All in all, I recommend it!
