Children's MOTRIN Oral Suspension
We rely on Motrin in our house. It lasts longer than Tylenol, tastes good to my kid, and works well. The dosage is easy to understand and it's readily available.

It took me a long time to get around to trying this, primarily because I didn't want to spend $40 on something that I had no idea would work or feel comfortable. I'm definitely glad I did. Having the Diva Cup hasn't eliminated my use of other menstrual products, but it has substantially reduced how much I spend every few months.
Getting used to it and getting it positioned can be a steep learning curve. I think it took me a few months to feel like I finally got the hang of it and to stop worrying if it would leak. Clean up isn't pretty, but it's very easy. I have no problem doing it in a public stall, etc.
The one thing that sold me on it was when I went on a 8 hr rafting trip with it. There were no washrooms, and no dry sacks for personal belongings. Without something like this, I would have been in trouble, but I had zero issues even on one of my heaviest days.
I've seen other brands that have a longer 'tail' at the end or loop that might make removal a bit smoother, but it's still fairly straightforward.
My main issue with it is still the price - I had to replace mine due to user error and I was ticked that I was dropping another $40 on something that has no reason to be so pricey

L'Occitane Aromachologie Repairing Shampoo

I love this shampoo - you can use just a little bit but it still lathers very well. The smell is really refreshing - not overpowering, and not too feminine or floral. My hair was in a bad way after 3+ weeks of hard water in hotels, and this made a huge difference. I didn't notice much continued improvement over time though. The packaging is lovely, though the flip cap on the smaller size can be hard to open without nails. It's not cheap, but worth it for someone who has damaged their hair. -
Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
A plus is that the texture and feel on my face was really pleasant. It went on well and didn't get cakey. I also found it good to wear both in winter when my skin is dry, and in the spring/summer (though it didn't get too hot this year). However, I... +
A plus is that the texture and feel on my face was really pleasant. It went on well and didn't get cakey. I also found it good to wear both in winter when my skin is dry, and in the spring/summer (though it didn't get too hot this year). However, I found the coverage lacking. I wanted something that was better able to cover pimples and discolouration -
Huggies Pull-Ups Learning Designs, Girls 3T-4T

We stuck with Pampers for diapers, as we found they didn't leak as much. The Huggies pull-ups were much better though. I especially liked that you could open and re-close the side panels. I found it very annoying that they were so gendered. We used both genders without issue; there is little reason to categorize them. -
