I want to thank GoodNites® Bed Mats to test their product as part of ChickAdvisor’s Product Review Club. Let me tell you that without this opportunity I would never have purchased it (first, it is rather pricey and second there are never any coupons for this product). BUTTTT after using this product I have gone out to purchase more (thanks to the wonderful coupon in the package).
I actually used this for my mom. She has continence issues and is disabled (she has difficulty walking and needs to use a walker to walk). She has to get up 4-5 times a night to go relieve herself and just recently fell off the side of the bed trying to get back in) not a happy time.
Since putting this mat on her bed, she was more comfortable in knowing it was ok is she did have an accident and that it would protect her bed and was able to stop using the noisy plastic sheet. The mat worked like a charm. It protected mom's bed and changing the sheets was a snap. (Where was this product when I was toilet training my kids - the 3am and nap-time changing of the bedsheets and cleaning the mattress was a nightmare. This product is a godsend to new toilet trainers, to occasional bedwetters and also for adults (who knew).
I love this product and now my sister (who has a daughter toilet training is also using the mats). This product is now a staple in our home and that of my mom's and sisters.
To answer the questions:
1. What was your overall experience with this product? (e.g. ease of use, quality, etc)
The product was so simple to put on and the quality was like nothing I felt before. It was also very easy to remove without any drips.
2. How effective was this product?
Very effective (even with an adult user).
3. How do these products compare to other bedwetting products you’ve tried in the past (if any)?
The only other product we used were PullUps (for my kids) and plastic sheet for kids and mom. Both were a nightmare during the 3am accidents and the plastic sheet just pooled the ```` and dripped everywhere. I absolutely hated putting my kids to bed.
4. Would you consider purchasing these products in the future and/or recommend them to a friend?
I have purchased this and have recommend this product to both family (mom and sister) and friends (both with 1 bedwetter whose is 11 and the other just learning to potty train).
In my humble opinion, I absolutely love this product and would definitely recommend to family and friends. Again thank you to GoodNites® Bed Mats and ChickAdvisor for allowing me and my family to review this product.

I am very thankful to Dove and Chick Advisor for allowing me to discover this amazing product! OMG is all I can say. What an amazing product.
As soon as it can, I opened the envelope and was overwhelmed by this wonderful fresh Dove sent. My mind went back to when I was little and my mom would wash me and my sisters with Dove. I then recalled when I used Dove to wash my newborn with this wonderful. clean product. I was so excited to use the Dove White Beauty Bar with moisturizing cream.
When I opened the box, a beautiful silky bar came out. It lathered up so beautifully and then I began cleansing my face. Wow, it felt so light and cleaned off so well too. There was no residue, like other bar soaps. It left my face feeling fresh and soft. I asked my kids to feel it and they were so great "mommy your skin is so soft" "mommy your skin smells real pretty".
Since my daughter's skin is changing she also used this product and was also so delighted with it. She has been using an acne medicated wash that has taken the shin out out her skin. But now, it is softer and with only a toner her skin is baby soft again. My son also used this in the bath and loved that his skin (he does have little eczema) his skin was soft too.
I have recommended Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar to my family and friends. I highly recommend absolutely adore this product.
Thank you so very much Dove and Chick Advisor for allowing me and my family the opportunity to try this product.
I highly recommend this!!

OMG is all I can say. What an amazing product. For such a little thing it pack a powerful punch.
I am a mom with two crazy, athletic kids and a husband who loves his sports. My minivan is the communal van and as such, the bags of equipment over power the back seat with the lovely aroma of sweat coming from the bags (yuck). I never (used) to offer to drive my friends when we would go out for coffee or shopping for fear of the smell.
BUT, ever since I got the little grey miracle (that matches nicely with my van), I now offer to drive everywhere. I absolutely love the linen scent (what we use around the house) - it is so fresh; and now, I have the feeling in my minivan) smells very fresh, but not being too strong. The clip is small and very easy to clip on your car vent - just snap the clip back and set and forget). It even takes away cigarette smoke (I have tried so many other products and nothing compares).
I have recommended The Febreze CAR Vent Clips is great. I highly recommend this!! to all of my friends and family and everyone I meet (esp. at the grocery store and Walmart where I picked up another 4). I absolutely adore this product.
Thank you so much Febreze and ChickAdvisor for allowing me and my family the opportunity to try this product.
I highly recommend this!!

About one month ago, I received a packaged wrapped in cellophane and pink and yellow ribbons. In it was a full-sized bottle of Adult Essentials Gummies (and a bottle of IronKids Gummies - reviewed).
I am not a big fan of taking medicine, and I always forget to take my vitamins. I am on iron injections (monthly) for anemia (like my daughter) so I figured I was getting enough. Well, I was mistaken, All the vitamins and fish oils in these little gummies were what I needed.
So, when they came, I was a little skeptical. A vitamin that tastes good (and not for kids, I sometimes would take the kids Gummy Vites (they taste great). Anyways, I took them out and I have to admit they smells great and to my surprised even tasted great. Finally a vitamin that tastes great and is really good for you.
So now, when then kids take their vitamins so do I (no excuse needed now). I have noticed more energy (something that I was lacking).
Thank you Life Sciences for making such a great product.
We are now a GUMMY Family.

About one month ago, I received a packaged wrapped in cellophane and pink and yellow ribbons. In it was a full sized bottle of IronKids Gummies (and a bottle of Adult Essentials Gummies - review to follow).
Being a mom of 2, with one child who is anemic, I am always on the hunt for the appropriate amount of essential vitamins my kids can take each day. We have tried many vitamins, from the pills to the chewables (both were had to swallow and "chalky". We finally settled on the L'il Critters Gummy Vites. I thought my prayers were answered. I finally found a vitamin that both kids liked (considering I have to "tackle" my son to take any kind of medicine.
So, when these new vitamins can, claiming that they contained all the essential vitamins AND fish oils for brain development and that they were GUMMIES, well, me and the kids were excited. As I opened the container, I asked to kids to smell it and to tell me what they thought. They both liked the smell ("very fruity"), they each got 3 gummies (recommended dose). Again, their response was "Wow mom, they smell great", "look, they are squishy" and "mom, look, they are little fishies" (we are a fishing family so this is a major plus). Next, the taste. They both tried the first one and were very happy with the taste and feel of them. They like them and wanted more. This was awesome,
So, every morning and before bedtime the kids take their gummies (it`s like eating candy, mommy). I am also noticing that my daughter who has anemia, the darkness under her eyes is slowing going away and that they have more energy when they come back from school. I can rest assured that they are getting the essential vitamins plus fish oils that their growing bodies and minds need.
I am definitely going to continue buying this product.

This is a great lunch spot. Their maki are really good, nigiri choice is limited at lunch, but they have amazing handrolls and lots to choose from. We visit here regularly for lunch, occasionally for dinner (their menu is expanded considerably on the dinner menu - including sashimi, 'special' maki, eel nigiri (yum!) and panko-coated deep-fried bananas with ice cream for dessert.
My only negative comment would be that nearly every time we come, they seem to (conveniently) forget about half of our first order -- then we end up sitting expecting it to arrive until finally we have to flag down a server and ask about it, and eventually have to re-order. This is aggravating especially if you are on a tight timeline.
I would highly recommend this restaurant. tasty sushi, great deal.

Pros None.
Cons Does not work. Disappointing. Dries skin.
Bottom line This stuff does not work at all. I used it on a fairly bad breakout, I washed my face and put it on before bed and woke up excited to see what it had done, I was disappointed. Nothing happened at all. It was like I put some white paste on my skin and when I washed it off naturally it didn't change a thing, and on top of that it dried my skin up. Moving on to shock number two. I looked at the ingredients in the refining mask and the ones in my CVS purifying mask (the green mud stuff) It's the same stuff. The only difference is that the proactive doesn't dry up so you can wear it overnight. Save your money and don't wait for shipping just go get some mask form CVS. Very disappointed. Do not buy.

Since finding out my body produces too much yeast and that my one indulgent (coffee) has enough yeast to make bread, I had to find an alternative (and tea is just as bad). Well I went to my local health food store with my dilemma and she suggested the Krakus Coffee. The coffee is made from: extracts of roasted barley, rye, chicory, and beet root. You all may be thinking that it would taste awful - but to my surprise it actually tastes good. I get my coffee fix without the bloating feeling. -

Well this product gets 6 stars out of 5 from my son! He has a stuffed doggy that he NEVER lets go of (except when at school), making it very hard to wash him. He used to complain when he came fresh from a washing that he "felt funny" and was not fluffy enough. Since switching to Purex he actually ASKS me to wash the doggy because he comes out "fluffy and smells yummy, and that makes doggy happy" LOL that is according to Ale!
DH started noticing that his shirts were softer and fresher when he took them out of the closet and has started pulling out shirts washed BEFORE Purex and tossing them in the dirty clothes because they feel stiff and don't smell as good LOL!
My 10yr old loves how her bedding smells and feels after it has been washed and says the smell lasts more than before!
Me, I love how soft my bath towels are now! And they absorb water WAY better than they used to!
I honestly can't say enough about how wonderful this stuff is (and that fact that it is cheaper than what I used to use I am also saving money! Yeah Purex!)

Say goodnight to aches and pains
I've taken other prescription sleep medications in the past but they do tend to make your drowsy and have all sorts of side effects. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and the pain stops me from sleeping. I now take this at bedtime with a small dose prescribed codeine. Between the painkillers and the "sleep" effect of the Tylenol, I truly can't believe how well I am sleeping! Just be aware that this can really make you fall asleep fast so do be ready for bed. I've spoken to four other people who have various pain problems and they all love this medication too.
