"These diapers work the best for us, they seem to fit our kids butts well and they hold an amazing amount of you know what, which is also important because with two of them we can't always get there immediately!"
"I would call our youngest a medium to heavy wetter and there was never a leak, even when we would get busy and I would forget to change him as regularly as I should. Since he was a breast fed baby, the poops were quite runny until he started on solid foods."
"Just recently we bought Target brand (Up and Up) diapers because they were on sale. Outside of this one-time sale...Pampers & Amazon are my go-to for diapers!"
"As anyone who have a baby knows how much babies go through diapers."
"I tend to not change my babies diaper at night to avoid waking her up so thats a good 8-10 hour stretch without a diaper change."
"The last thing I want to do is worry about diapers that should just show up at my door and do their job."
"I wasn't sure if I should switch to "cruisers" or any other type of diaper when she started really moving, but these were still working so I stuck with it. I have tried Huggies (gift bags from others) and they didn't hold up to the test like Pampers."

Differences Between this Aquarius and the Ultra. --while on Amazon, prices vary, Waterpik thinks the Aquarius is the nicer machine because they charge $20 more for the Aquarius than for the Ultra; --the Ultra has a button on the handle that you must hold down in order to keep the water flowing, if you let go, it stops; the Aquarius has an on/off toggle switch so that once you toggle it on, it keeps flowing without finger pressure, until you toggle it off; --the Aquarius comes with three Classic Jet tips, versus two with the Ultra. --the Aquarius includes a massage mode (have to admit that I don't use this at all). --the Aquarius includes an LED Function Indicator (ehh). --the Aquarius includes a Timer/Pacer (I use this every day and know that I would stop sooner than I should if it weren't on there). --the Ultra doesn't include anything that the Aquarius does not.

"PROS: • Easy to Use - Fill it with warm water or water mixed with mouthwash (same amount of mouthwash you'd normally use diluted in the water), choose the intensity and your head attachment, put the wand end in your mouth, make sure the switch on the wand is turned on (I leave mine turned on), turn the power button on, start at a back molar and work your way forward, keeping your head tilted forward and lips puckered so the water pours out into the sink. • Oral Hygiene - The water pushes bacteria and food particles out, effectively doing the same job as flossing and mouthwashing. This doesn't affect me though as I leave it on and just use the power button on the machine to start and stop water flow. TIPS: • Putting a washcloth or grip pad (like what you line cabinets with or what you open the pickle jar with) under the unit to help lower the vibrations. • Once a month do a cleaning rinse: Clean the basin out with vinegar, allowing it to soak for an hour and put the wand tips in with it - this will kill odor causing germs. UPDATE: After over two years it's still performing like new, staying clean inside and out, and my teeth have never been healthier!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This is my personal honest opinion and I get a little frustrated seeing so many reviews on amazon from people who have received free or discounted products in exchange for reviews. I am interested in people like me who have spent their money and bought a product who want to give a review. It locks so that the oil doesn't spill, so you can't just twist it on and off like a water bottle cap. If you press the "on" button once the diffuser will run for about 30 seconds, shut off and then automatically turn back on. It is just a small red or green button depending on the mist setting so if you need complete darkness to sleep it may be a problem. I have one diffuser for the main area in the house and now a second one for the bedroom."
"Bought this for my indoor grow room to keep up the humidity."
"I'm brand new to the essential oils thing but this review is strictly on the diffuser itself. Green light, it'll diffuse on for about 30 seconds and then stop for about the same amount of time and alternate until it runs out of water or you shut it off. I even have to put a small decorative piece in front of the unit because that light that shows you it's on will keep me up. Lastly, one of my favorite things about it is that it's so quiet, you hardly know it's running other than seeing the mist and a very, very slight sound."

"Vanilla Ice Cream. Please listen, ❗️DO NOT BUY IT❗️I have in the past spoken and reviewed this product as the best among the lot but that was before Optimum Nutrition changed the ingredients. I make sure to add raw old fashioned oats and increase the water to numb the sweetness but to no avail. Besides the bad taste, there's a divided opinion in the scientific world about the detrimental health effects of Sucralose."

Make every beat count with Fitbit Charge 2—the all-new heart rate and fitness wristband built for all-day, workouts and beyond. PurePulse continuous, automatic wrist-based heart rate tracking to better measure calorie burn all day.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I found the Fitbit to be an incredible fitness device compared to the Apple watch. The fitbit can also track sleep, and give you an estimate of your cardio fitness score (V02 Max). Other features: Clearly the fitbit is not a smart watch, but the text and call notifications are great when you're working out and don't have quick access to your phone. Accuracy: Tie. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about (Maybe they received a defective device or have exceptionally hairy arms?). The apple watch is slightly more accurate when it comes to distance, and probably more suited for someone who runs at a competitive pace. I love watching my cardio fitness score change and keeping an eye on my resting heart rate overnight. Apple has a ton of 3rd party apps which are great, but it lacks the complete integration of the fitbit. I haven't decided which one I will be keeping yet, but if I were basing my decision on fitness alone, at a non competitive level, I would choose the fitbit hands down. There are other useful features that make the Apple watch appealing in my line of work, so I'll have to weigh those into my decision. The apple watch doesn't have the same coolness factor with regard to fitness, and really doesn't motivate me to workout anymore than my iPhone would. It is perfect for someone who doesn't care about tracking fitness goals, but wants to leave their phone at home during a workout. The ability to stream music, track distance with a built in GPS, and respond to text messages are wonderful. I have a 7 inch wrist and the large band fits me on the last 2-4 holes (keep it loose when not working out)."
"As a Blaze and original Charge HR owner, figured I'd try my hand at the newest Fitbit Charge 2. It replaces the original best selling Charge & Charge HR. Steps, Flights, Heart Rate, Calories Burned, Connected GPS (shows a little map post workout when tied to your phone, and yes, you need to bring your phone with you on walks/runs), and notifications (as of now, just texts, calendar alerts, and displays phone number of incoming calls). The Charge watch has been the workhorse of the fitbit line. Since you're familiar with the Charge already, let's go over some of the issues you may have experienced and highlights/common questions answered: 1) Build Quality: The Charge 2 is a far far superior quality than the original Charge. **If you had problems with your original Charge band bubbling, the ability to swap bands and how the tracker is connected to the bands should eliminate the issues you have experienced ** Obviously way too early to make a call on how the device will hold up, but given my experience with Blaze & Alta, this feels similar in build quality, if not better, and neither of those devices have suffered from bands falling apart on a wide scale. 5) Display is nice, 4x larger than the original Charge. The font is a bright offwhite, as opposed to the original Charge that had a soft almost blue to it. Some display day & date, and most have option to where when you tap the display it will cycle through stats (may display heart rate, date, steps taken, how far you are in your goals, your hourly movement reminders, etc). Yes, two of the watch faces are digital (numbers display, not hands) and have seconds displayed. There is no 3rd party support at this time such as facebook, instagram, etc (The Blaze watch will be offering these soon in next software upgrade, so I guess there is hope the Charge 2 will get those as well). Heart rate was spot on as it usually was with original Charge HR & my Blaze. Obviously some folks have trouble with them due to body hair and whatnot, but the sensors on Charge HR, Blaze, and now Charge 2 seem to be spot on. An issue I had with the original Charge was it getting "lost" when I hit higher cardio levels. CONS: - vibration is notably weaker than the original Charge. The Charge HR slowly scrolls texts and notifications to you, which can be annoying if you're used to the Blaze. They serve their purpose well though, and I can't ding it for this as it's a step up from the original Charge. The Blaze is their high end product at the moment, but the Charge 2 is a very close second. I'll happily answer questions as I did for when I originally reviewed the Blaze out of the gate, and edit this review to reflect common questions or any issues I face as I put the device through its paces in the coming days."

"I am dissapointed that Optimum Nutrition changed their original product (which was the best you could find) to a new formula that's full of sweeteners and lacking the Aminogen™ ingredient that was listed as an ingredient."
"Vanilla Ice Cream. Please listen, ❗️DO NOT BUY IT❗️I have in the past spoken and reviewed this product as the best among the lot but that was before Optimum Nutrition changed the ingredients. I make sure to add raw old fashioned oats and increase the water to numb the sweetness but to no avail. Besides the bad taste, there's a divided opinion in the scientific world about the detrimental health effects of Sucralose."

As the practice of e-boarding passes continues to increase, so will the instances of anxiety due to a low battery while waiting in the security line or at the gate! I recently purchased and reviewed the Lumsing Ultrathin Portable 3-Port USB Charger 10000mAh... This thing was great except is made a high pitch noise when it charged another device. Cons: I actually prefer the taller/thinner form of the Lumsing which keeps the device ports easily accessible when in the inside pockets of my sports coat."
"So far, I've been able to charge my phone about 4 times from near empty to full before having to charge the power bank. The power bank itself requires at least 2 hours to charge from empty to full but once charged, your phone will charge to full in less time."
"On the left is the older 10,000mAh charger, right is the newer 20,000mAh charger, this charger in the middle. All things said, the charger worked amazingly well, much faster than the previous iteration of the 10,000mAh charger and much better than I expected. I have had an issue with an older charger with a built in cable, and while the charger was no longer available for sale Anker sent me a voucher for the full value of my charger, which I was able to use to purchase the older 10,000mAh charger you see in the photos."
"In less than six months three of us have replaced our broken micro usb cables. The Anker cables that come with the Anker power bank are run-of-the-mill at best. My point...if you're comfortable with having to replace the cable at some point (it's likely) than this is an awesome power bank."

The fitbit can also track sleep, and give you an estimate of your cardio fitness score (V02 Max). Other features: Clearly the fitbit is not a smart watch, but the text and call notifications are great when you're working out and don't have quick access to your phone. Accuracy: Tie. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about (Maybe they received a defective device or have exceptionally hairy arms?). The apple watch is slightly more accurate when it comes to distance, and probably more suited for someone who runs at a competitive pace. I love watching my cardio fitness score change and keeping an eye on my resting heart rate overnight. Apple has a ton of 3rd party apps which are great, but it lacks the complete integration of the fitbit. I haven't decided which one I will be keeping yet, but if I were basing my decision on fitness alone, at a non competitive level, I would choose the fitbit hands down. There are other useful features that make the Apple watch appealing in my line of work, so I'll have to weigh those into my decision. The apple watch doesn't have the same coolness factor with regard to fitness, and really doesn't motivate me to workout anymore than my iPhone would. It is perfect for someone who doesn't care about tracking fitness goals, but wants to leave their phone at home during a workout. The ability to stream music, track distance with a built in GPS, and respond to text messages are wonderful. I have a 7 inch wrist and the large band fits me on the last 2-4 holes (keep it loose when not working out)."
"As a Blaze and original Charge HR owner, figured I'd try my hand at the newest Fitbit Charge 2. It replaces the original best selling Charge & Charge HR. Steps, Flights, Heart Rate, Calories Burned, Connected GPS (shows a little map post workout when tied to your phone, and yes, you need to bring your phone with you on walks/runs), and notifications (as of now, just texts, calendar alerts, and displays phone number of incoming calls). The Charge watch has been the workhorse of the fitbit line. Since you're familiar with the Charge already, let's go over some of the issues you may have experienced and highlights/common questions answered: 1) Build Quality: The Charge 2 is a far far superior quality than the original Charge. **If you had problems with your original Charge band bubbling, the ability to swap bands and how the tracker is connected to the bands should eliminate the issues you have experienced ** Obviously way too early to make a call on how the device will hold up, but given my experience with Blaze & Alta, this feels similar in build quality, if not better, and neither of those devices have suffered from bands falling apart on a wide scale. 5) Display is nice, 4x larger than the original Charge. The font is a bright offwhite, as opposed to the original Charge that had a soft almost blue to it. Some display day & date, and most have option to where when you tap the display it will cycle through stats (may display heart rate, date, steps taken, how far you are in your goals, your hourly movement reminders, etc). Yes, two of the watch faces are digital (numbers display, not hands) and have seconds displayed. There is no 3rd party support at this time such as facebook, instagram, etc (The Blaze watch will be offering these soon in next software upgrade, so I guess there is hope the Charge 2 will get those as well). Heart rate was spot on as it usually was with original Charge HR & my Blaze. Obviously some folks have trouble with them due to body hair and whatnot, but the sensors on Charge HR, Blaze, and now Charge 2 seem to be spot on. An issue I had with the original Charge was it getting "lost" when I hit higher cardio levels. CONS: - vibration is notably weaker than the original Charge. The Charge HR slowly scrolls texts and notifications to you, which can be annoying if you're used to the Blaze. They serve their purpose well though, and I can't ding it for this as it's a step up from the original Charge. The Blaze is their high end product at the moment, but the Charge 2 is a very close second. I'll happily answer questions as I did for when I originally reviewed the Blaze out of the gate, and edit this review to reflect common questions or any issues I face as I put the device through its paces in the coming days."
