Product review: MASTERTOP Sweeper Mop and Duster, Dry Mop for Hardwood, Laminate, Tile Floor Cleaning

 

 I am a big fan of Swiffer Sweeper, so any similar device has to measure up to it.  The two sweepers are similar, but Mastertop feels flimsier. For example, the handle on the Mastertop keeps rotating when I use it; it does not stay in one place even though that piece came pre-assembled.

Mastertop wipes are 1/4" larger than on two sides the Swiffer Sweeper wipes. The clips on the Mastertop sweeper do not hold as well as Swiffer Sweeper.  The wipes worked themselves out of the clips before I was ready to take the wipes out. The Swiffer wipes do work on this mop as well for future refills.

The duster is really flimsy. I can see myself using the Mastertop sweeper, but not the duster. The duster heads were hard to put on, they did not stay on well, and the duster bent so easily that it required extra care.

Given that the Swiffer Sweeper mop is cheaper than the Mastertop sweeper, I see no reason at all to select it over the Swiffer mop.

Product review: Party Cleaning wet Wipes Party Supplies Hand Naps individually Packed Towellette

 

These wipes are very, very thin.  You can see through them.  They are individually wrapped in foil packets and stayed moist.  They are on small side, especially given the thinness; they are sized 6.5" x 6.5".  I need several of them to get clean.  I like thicker wipes and will not be re-puchasing these.

Product review: CLIF BARS - Duo Bars - Variety Pack- Made with Organic Oats

 Duos bars combine two flavors in one bar. Each bar is 190 calories, 11 grams of sugar.  The package contains 18 bars, three different combo flavors: Chocolate Brownie + Crunchy Peanut Butter, Cool Mint Chocolate + Chocolate Chip, and Chocolate Brownie + White Chocolate Macadamia Nut.  My favorite one is Chocolate Brownie and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut.

Product review: Sock Aid Kits, Sock Aide Device for Seniors with Dressing Stick Aid Helper with Shoe Horn

 

 The sock aid works pretty well, it takes a little practice to learn how to slide your foot, but overall it is good.  Be aware that it does stretch your socks a bit.
The shoehorn is nice and long. It is a little thick, so it does not work well if you wear very tight shoes.

Product review: Herb Guru Herbal Fruit Drink 12 Pack ,10 oz Bottles, Caffeine Free

 The drink tastes like lightly (very lightly) flavored tea. I would describe it as lightly flavored water. I would NOT describe it as a fruit drink; it has no fruit flavor.  I liked that it was only 15 calories.
 
I have to admit that the drink has grown on me.  The first taste made me think it was too lightly flavored, but I began enjoying the flavor's lightness and drank several bottles without consuming too much sugar when it was sweltering.

Product review: Vitamin D3 Gummies by Go Healthy- Vegetarian Adult 2000 IU

 

The flavor of this chew is delicious; I also liked that it comes in 2000 IU gummies to control how much I take a day. I see many 5000 IU D3 gummies, but my doctor told me not to take that much as having too much calcium in your blood can become toxic over time.  She told me to cap my intake at 4000 IU to avoid hypercalcemia, a condition in which too much calcium builds up in the blood.

The bottle contains 60 gummies; with my goal of taking 4000 IU a day, it will last 30 days, 0.50 cents a day.  This is not the cheapest D3 gummy with 1000 IU doses out there, but I like its flavor.

Product review: Pee Pro Disposable Sanitary Urination Funnel for Women

 

 Does it work?  Yes. But it does take some practice to find the proper position and angle to avoid drips and getting your clothing wet. Try practicing in the shower before taking it on the road.  Cardboard falls apart quickly, so it does not stay glued together and stiff for a long time.

The device comes without good instruction on how to fold and position it.  Another reason to practice at home first.  Make sure told fold the seam; otherwise, it leaks immediately. One side is longer, and one side is shorter. The best position is with the long side up.  

Women's underwear is not designed to be used with such a device, so you have to drop your garments and risk exposure, but it is less noticeable than squatting. It works very well in a messy porta-potty where exposure is not a problem.
