Product Review & Giveaway: Diaper Goop

Congratulations!

It doesn't matter how often I change Baby Bug's diaper, she will still end up with diaper rash.

Since she's been born, we've had to make sure we kept a large supply of Desitin on hand just in case. It's always worked great! However, I'm always willing to try new things so when the opportunity came up to test out Diaper Goop courtesy of the Parent Bloggers Network, I jumped at the chance.


Description from the website:

DIAPER GOOP® is a product developed for use on Diaper Rashes on children and adults. It contains Lanolin and other Natural Ingredients that not only help prevent dipaer rash but also naturally and quickly assits in the healing of irritated skin. Diaper Goop is available without a prescription.

What we've found is that it really does work in treating and preventing diaper rash. It wasn't an overnight solution but Baby Bug's diaper rash was gone within a couple of days. The only thing I would suggest is that they package the product in a tube instead of a jar. I think it would be a little more convenient and the creme wouldn't get under my nails.

Other than that, we loved it!

Would you like to try it out for yourself? I'm giving away 3 2-oz jars to one lucky winner. To enter, just leave a comment below before April 14th saying how you prevent/treat diaper rash. That's it! A random winner will be selected and notified on April 15th.

Review & Giveaway: Clean Well Hand Sanitizers

As a flight attendant, I love anti-bacterial cleansers that don't require water. After all, with 300+ passengers and only 6 lavatories on the plane, sometimes it takes a while to get in there to wash my hands. And believe me, I wash my hands constantly!

Clean Well products are made with all-natural Ingenium - a patented formula proven to kill 99.99% of harmful germs that can make you sick including Samonella, resistent Staph, and Listeria. Their products come in a variety of sizes and scents so there's something for everyone.

One of the biggest pluses for me is that it doesn't require water. Sometimes when you're out and about, a sink may not be readily handy especially when I have the kids with me. It's always the case that once I get everyone settled in their boosters and high chairs, I suddenly remember that they didn't wash their hands. One squirt of Clean Well and we're all set.

The only thing I didn't really care for is the initial feel of the sanitizer. At first, it felt a little sticky no matter how much I tried to rub it in. Eventually, the feeling disappeared and my hands felt clean and soft again.


Out of the three scents - Orange Vanilla, Lavender Absolute, and Ginger Bergamot - I preferred the Orange Vanilla one. I didn't really care for the other two. But then again, that's just my personal preference.

The Starter Pack (in your choice of scents) sells for $9.99 and the Hand Hygiene Set can be purchased for $38.99.

All in all, this is a great product to help fight germs. However, I wish that it was available in more appealing (to me) scents.

If you'd like to win some of these products for yourself, check this out!

From now until February 29th, share a photo of one your messiest moments and you could win some cool Clean Well products. Stop by Shutter Sisters for all the details.

Thank you to Clean Well and the Parent Bloggers Network.

Review: Puffs Plus Lotion With Vicks

Here in Hawaii, we don't have your typical winter cold. However, that doesn't mean we don't get sick once in a while. And since it's flu season, what better time than now to review the Puffs Plus Lotion from Vicks.

From the site: Puffs Plus with the Scent of Vicks combines soothing lotion with the comforting scent of Vicks. The lotion contains aloe, chamomile, and vitamin E; the scent of Vicks contains eucalyptus, menthol, and camphor. This great combination offers soothing comfort when you need it most.

When you first smell it, you may think the scent is a little strong. However, if you're congested, you'll be thankful for the vapor action. Believe me.

A while ago I had a slight cold probably due to all the germs on the airplane. Luckily, I had this handy travel pack of 12 2-ply tissues with me. These ultra-soft, Vicks scented tissues were exactly what I needed. Not only did the vapor help clear my congestion a little but it also eased the soreness of my nose from all the blowing.

My girls, on the other hand, did not really care for it. However, what kid likes to blow their nose in the first place? For them, the Vicks Vapor Rub usually works a lot better. The warm soothing feel helps them get a good night's sleep. It was something my Mom used on me and now it's something I use on them.

Bottom line: Great product, however, probably better suited for adults than kids.
