Purex Plus OXI Review & Giveaway

I am a SAHM so I do most of the housework and that includes the laundry. When washing clothes I want them to be clean with a great scent left behind so I was excited to try the New Purex Plus OXI. It is the same packaging as the others that Purex carries but the look of the bottle was very nice. When I opened it and smelled it I loved it. This is how the bottle looks.

 

 

 

 

 

Purex plus Oxi is the most powerful Purex detergent available. In fact, it works against over 101 different stains. The three stain-fighting enzymes in Purex plus Oxi each work against different types of stains for the most Purex stain-fighting power you can get.

Purex plus Oxi, like all liquid Purex products, has been specially formulated to work in both high efficency washers and traditional washing machines. Because it's from Purex, you know it won't break the bank. Purex plus Oxi leaves your clothes Bright, White, and Clean and costs half the price of the leading brand!

A powerful combination of detergent and stain fighters.
A hypoa;;ergenic formula with a light, fresh scent
Perfect for everyday laundry or heavily soiled loads

One lucky TTGG follower will win a coupon for a free bottle of Purex plua Oxi.

Purex provided me with a sample of Purex plus Oxi so I could review them. However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own.

Sckoon Cloth Pad Review

Today's review is from Sckoon. I was sent 3 different sizes of their cloth pads over for review.

I was sent their Mini, Day, and their Maxi.

First is their mini pad which retails for $15.99.

Sckoon Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual Pads are made of 100%certified organic cotton with a built-in leak-proof sheet, which prevents accidents and keep you comfortable and worry free all day long! Among all the pads that claim organic cloth menstrual pads, our pads are the only pads made of certified organic cotton certified by an international certification board. Without the use of chemicals and bleaches that cause irritation, Sckoon Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual Pads are 100% pure, comfortable, and safe. They are a healthy alternative to disposable menstrual pads, both for you and for the environment. A set of 1 holder pad + 1 super-soft organic cotton liners.

100% certified organic cotton down to the threads

Nickel free snaps to prevent allergic reactions

Dyed with metal-free, low impact dyes

Each holder comes with one liner

Size 9"(23.5cm) long, 7.5"(19cm) wing-to-wing

Liner size 7.5" x 7.5" (19 cm x 19 cm)

100% Egyptian organic cotton, made in Egypt

Next is their Day pad which retails for $16.99.

Lastly is their Maxi which retails for $18.99.

The print sides are the side that touches your panties and this is the size here that touches your body.

The Only thing that I don't like about these pads is that with putting the cloth under the straps is that i move alot in my sleep and I with they had snap in liners to keep them more in place. However they did hold everything in even on CD1 with the Maxi pad. I do like these and they are stain free still and they wash very well. I will be continuing to use these pads.

Hello Aunt Flow Cloth Pad Review

Today's review is another cloth pad review and this one is coming from Hello Aunt Flow and she is on FACEBOOK & ETSY. I was sent a 8inch cloth pad for review.

You can get 4 of this size Medium for for $28.00.

They measure 8" long and 2.5" wide across the center when snapped.

These are topped with super soft flannel in 4 different prints. The absorbent core comes from zorb, so they are very absorbent but keep their trim profile. This core is top-stitched to the flannel only to prevent wicking through and is a pretty wavy pattern. The back of the pad (panty side) is non-pilling and waterproof fleece in a wide array of colors. They snap around the panties with heavy duty KAM snaps which will hold up to multiple washings.

These pads are suitable for a medium, straight down flow. They are not recommended for heavy flow.
Machine wash and dry regular; do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets. Mild detergent is best. If staining should occur, treat with a stain stick. In my smoke-free home, all fabrics are machine washed in unscented detergent and dried on high heat to ensure no more shrinkage when you wash them.
This pad was really soft and it worked great. It also still looked really good after the wash and I have had no staining it it yet. The fabric still looks good after washing multiple times and I love all of her prints. I will be back for more.

Soft Cups Review & Giveaway

I have another review of a eco friendly product for women. This is a review from SoftCup.

What is Softcup?

Softcup is a flexible cup that is worn internally, around your cervix. It collects, rather than absorbs menstrual flow. It's hypo-allergenic, latex-free and completely safe when used as directed.

What is reusable Softcup?

Reusable Softcup is a durable, flexible, reusable cup that can be worn for up to 12 hours and reused throughout one menstrual cycle. Reusable Softcup has all the benefits of disposable Softcup—with the added advantage of just one cup per period. Learn more about reusable Softcup.

Why should you try it?

Softcup is great for busy women, or women who just don't want to have to think about changing a pad or a tampon every few hours. Athletes rave about how the Softcup carries them through a long race. Travelers don't leave home without it.

• You can wear Softcup for up to 12 hours
• Softcup is comfortable during swimming and sports
• Softcup eliminates menstrual odor, since the menstrual flow isn't exposed to air
• Softcup loves making love . . .you can wear Softcup during intercourse for less messy sex on your period
• Softcup is comfortable—you can't even feel it once it's inserted
• Most women typically use fewer Softcups than tampons or pads because of the long wear-time
• You can use one reusable softcup throughout entire cycle...saving you money and the environment
• Softcups have no wings, no strings . . . just freedom!

I was sent a box of their disposables.

This retails for $10.49 and comes in a 24 pack.

They each come individually wrapped for easy use and carry.

This is how the look out of the package.

I also use these for TTC which is not FDA approved so if you want more info on how to use it for those purposes please e-mail me or find me on facebook.

One lucky TTGG follower will be winning their own box of 24!!
