Here is a quick summary in case you don't want to read my review.
Pros:
-Close Shave
-Easy to use
-Battery lasts a long time
-Trimmer included
Cons:
-Feels like my hair is getting caught sometimes
The Review:
Before using this razor, I’ve been using a simple manual razor. So to me, this feels like a huge upgrade! The electric razor is extremely easy to use, has a close shave, and a rechargeable battery that lasts a long time.
My first impression after using it was that it felt very different compared to the manual razor I used before. When I used Philips’ electric razor, it felt like my hair was being pulled and then cut. It was a little bit frightening at first, but I quickly got used to it. To be honest, the shave was so close; I couldn’t even tell the difference between the results from a manual razor and the electric one. As well, the battery lasts an extremely long time. I would say that you would need to recharge it once a week if you use it daily.
Along with the shaver, came a “precision trimmer.” The trimmer is one of my favorite attachments to say the least. It allowed me to trim body hair that wasn’t just on my face. As someone who grows a lot of hair, I was delighted to see that the trimmer worked on just about any surface of your body. The shaver however, doesn’t do the same. You should definitely avoid shaving areas where your skin isn’t smooth.
The one thing that I’m not a fan of is how the razor sometimes gets caught in my hair. A couple times, it felt like the razor pulled off my hair, rather than cut it. It wasn’t a big deal, but obviously, it’s not ideal for an electric razor.
Overall, I’m extremely impressed by this razor. I wouldn’t give it up for anything else.

Here are some pros and cons if you don't feel like reading the full review
Pros:
-Very Thin
-Feels like it's not even there
Cons:
-A little bit difficult to apply
-Much tighter than other condoms
The Review:
My usual go to condom is made of polyisoprene rather than latex, but I decided to try these anyways because of its supposed "invisible" feel. After trying them out, I've realized that the condoms really do feel like they're not there, but it comes at a cost. It's kind of difficult to apply and they're much tighter than the condoms that I'm used to.
When I roll the condom down, sometimes it gets stuck because the condom is just so thin it's hard to continue pulling it down. As well, after putting it on, I noticed that it was a little bit tighter than what I'm used to.
Overall, I'm not quite sure if I'll ever buy them again, but it was definitely interesting to try them. I enjoyed using them, but it was just a little too tight for me.

The review:
Oral hygiene is very important to me. After having several cavities fixed as a young teenager, I knew that I had to step up my game. This is why I ended up getting the water flosser. My Waterpik is the perfect water flosser for me because it's capable of cleaning your teeth while having just enough water capacity.
My oral hygiene routine at night is usually as follows:
1. Brush my teeth
2. Water Flosser
3. Clean Tongue
I was doing this for about a week before I had a dental cleaning. When I asked if my oral hygiene was okay, the hygienist told me that my mouth was in pristine condition. My gums didn't bleed from her instruments, and there was little to no plague around my teeth. Although she told me that it isn't recommended to replace flossing with a Waterpik, there was no plague around my teeth or gums because of the Waterpik so it's safe to say (for me at least), that the Waterpik cleans your teeth very well. As well, the reservoir in the Waterpik is just enough for me. I usually have it on the low setting and get both the front and back ends of my teeth before the water runs out. Lastly, the Waterpik is also portable (because of its travelling pouch and plug), but I don't see why you would want to bring it on vacation, or when you're travelling. A small container of floss is much more portable than the Waterpik.
Although I like the Waterpik, a pretty big con I have about it is that it's not rechargeable. The Waterpik comes with 3 AA batteries, but it'll run out in less than 2 weeks. Unless you have rechargeable batteries, it could get pretty costly replacing the batteries every 2 weeks. I'm not sure why the Waterpik isn't rechargeable. Maybe it would make it less portable?
Overall, I really like my Waterpik. It's being used as my daily flosser.

Pros and Cons in case you don’t want to read the full review
Pros:
-Works on rugs and hardwood/tiles
-Saves Time
-Saves Space
-Easy to Clean
Cons:
-Residual water left on group when you turn it off
The Review:
I live in an apartment with 4 other people and the only cleaning tools we had were a severely used broom and mop. There was absolutely no way for us to vacuum our rug, or efficiently clean the apartment so that’s why I decided to treat myself to an all in one multi surface cleaner. All in all, I really like this vacuum! It works on every floor of my apartment, saves time and space compared to a regular vacuum and mop, and the multi surface cleaner is really easy to disassemble and clean.
When using the vacuum, I noticed that there were two options: one is for rugs and the other for hard floors. This is extremely convenient for me. I don’t have to avoid certain areas of my apartment or have to buy another product especially for rugs (or hardwood floors). I remember owning a small vacuum before and it only worked well on rugs, but not on hard floors. As well, this multi surface cleaner saves a lot of time! Instead of sweeping first, then priming the mop, and finally, mopping, I can just prime the multi surface cleaner and do both at the same time! Not only do I save time with this surface cleaner, I also save space. Instead of owning 2 household appliances, I now own one. Lastly, the multi surface cleaner is very easy to clean. All I have to do is put the multi surface cleaner on the cleaning tray, pour some water in it and have the vacuum suck it up. Then, I put the mop on the drying rack, and empty out the container.
While I really do like this product, I have a small complaint. When I turn off the multi surface cleaner, there’s always a small puddle of water. When I finish mopping/vacuuming, I usually keep it on until I put it back on the cleaning tray.
Overall, I really do like this product. It’s become my main cleaning tool in the apartment.

The condoms don't do much for the man, but they offer a ribbed and dotted experience as well as an "orgasmic" gel for the women. The gel on the outside of the condom smelled minty and unlike your traditional rubber smell.
The condoms were not an improvement over Durex's sensithins. The gel didn't feel good; they offered a cold sensation instead and the ribs and dots were a bit too much.
If you're looking to try something new and prefer ribbed condoms, then this might be for you. However, for the regular person, I'd recommend Durex's other products.
