The best nursing pads available

As a nursing mother I have tried many brands of nursing pads and found what I was looking for in the Johnson & Johnson brand. Unlike Medela or Lansinoh these pads are a little smaller in circumference and do not bunch up inside your bra. They are very soft and absorbent wicking moisture or leakage into the center of the pad and leaving your skin dry and thus healthy. You can typically expect to pay $6 or $7 for a month's supply (60 pads) and you don't have to deal with unwrapping each individual pad as you must with other brands. I've seen other reviewers claim that this is unsanitary but I beg to differ. If you keep the pads face down in the box with the lid closed you need not worry about them becoming "contaminated." Besides you are not putting these on an open wound they serve merely as a vehicle to prevent you from embarrassing leaks. Each pad also comes with an adhesive strip on the back though I have never found occasion to use them. They are convex in shape for a perfect fit and because of an indention that allows space for the nipple there is no uncomfortable "pressing" or shifting around. They simply stay in place even without using the adhesive.

If you are planning to nurse for a long period of time these are the best product for your buck. I use nothing else and could not recommend them more highly.More detail ...

Heals dry hands - Nurses perspective

As a nurse I wash my hands several hundred times a day it seems. Even with the hospitals using moisturizing soaps my skin gets very dry. I bought this little jug and take it to work with me. It is amazing how well it can moisturize my VERY dry hands. In the winter I get cracks on the outside of my palms without fail every year. I take this cream and let it sit on the crack for as long as I can. By the next day or so the crack has healed enough to be more manageable.



Several patients have this cream prescribed to them by their doctors its so good.



I highly recommend this cream to everyone that suffers from dry cracked skin!



Thank you for reading my review.More detail ...

My favorite cleaner!

I highly recommend Dr. Bronner's Unscented. I started using it in a spray bottle with baking soda and water because it does not trigger my migraines and when I realized how well it cleaned I started using it to clean pretty much everything in my home.



The scents and chemicals in mainstream cleaners were causing such severe migraines that I could not clean my house. Newer `green' cleaners from Clorox and the like did not help either because of the fragrances. I learned about Dr. Bronner's and gave it a try. The scented versions are too strong for me so I stick with the unscented. Most of my friends like the unscented too because they can add whatever essential oils they need (or are in the mood for) to clean.



Information on the internet for green cleaning is all over the place and there is a lot of bad advice out there. I recommend getting a book on green cleaning that will bring all of the information together - check one out from your library or purchase one if you've got a little extra money. For a basic over view of green cleaning I recommend Jill Potvin Schoff's Green Up Your Cleanup (The Green House). For a comprehensive book with a lot of depth try Renee Loux's Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple Eco-Friendly Choices for You and Your Home. (I have written reviews on both books.)



The only things I do not use this soap for are washing my hair and doing the dishes. I have really oily hair and the castile soap leaves it very stringy and with a lot of oil in it. I've got several friends who use it as shampoo and they do not have the same problem that I do. I also do not use it for dishes because it is more cost effective for me to get Seventh Generation dish products from Amazon's Subscribe & Save program. As a side note Dr. Bronner's works great with oxygen bleach (like OxyClean) for laundry but I use Seventh Generation laundry soap and oxygen bleach instead because it is more cost effective per load.



Yes the writing on the bottle is kooky but nothing says you have to read it. This castile soap works better then any other castile soap I've tried. I do not normally spend money with companies that speak in terms of religion but given the safeness and effectiveness of the product combined with their IMO certified fair trade practices to purchase organic ingredients I don't care WHAT the label says.



The product contains: water saponified organic coconut & olive oils organic glycerin organic hemp oil organic jojoba oil citric acid and Vitamin E.

Best Sunscreen Ever!

I love this sunscreen. It is not greasy or smelly or full of crap that no one needs all over the largest organ of their bodies (their skin). I love it especially for my 11 month old daughter. It works wonderfully and I can feel secure knowing that her skin is not absorbiing a bunch of chemicals.



I put Water Babies on her once and she broke out into a head to toe rash. I felt terrible. With this sunscreen that has never happend!More detail ...

Strengths and weaknesses

I was looking for a safe effective sunsreen for my trip to Southeast Asia this summer. Here are what I think are the strengths and weaknesses for this product

Strengths:

1 Many non-chemical sunscreens actually fail to live up to their SPF but I do think it successfully protected my skin in the worst UV environment. (But I also used hats and such)

2 It is relatively safe for my skin. It didn't make my skin break out.



Weaknesses:

1 THE greasiest sunscreen I ever experienced. It's ok when you're out hiking or at the beach but when I went out to see friends they often commented on how much I was "sweating." When I really did sweat it made the cream turn white and visible (dotty on my face).

2 As it's noted on Skin Deep Cosmetic safety database it's not perfectly safe. While I didn't have any breakouts my face (not my body) got itchy wearing this. But I was able to get around it by putting on a moisturizer before applying this.

3 It's pretty tough to wash off. Though it's not waterproof after I washed my body I could still smell it and see it on my skin (showing up white especially in wrinkly area).



Despite the problems I think I might use it again next summer (at least on my body) because I haven't been able to find a better safe high SPF sunscreen. Other ones don't make my face shiny but make my face look all white.

Poor Quality + ZERO customer service

I bought it in February 09'. After two months' use the display was dead. I thought it was the batteries. So I replaced all the batteries. The display beeped once and then nothing. Same thing when I tried at least 3 types of alkaline batteries as recommended. As other reviewer mentioned La Crosse has ZERO customer servce.

1)I contacted them using their online Contact Custome Service form in early May.

2)Having hearding nothing from them I sent a email on June 10. An email came on June 12 with the typical Battery instructions despite the detailed problem description in my email. It also asked for the purchase info that I already sent in the previous email.

3)Anyway I resent all the info requested on the same day June 12. And guess what nothing happened after that.

It's 10 days now after I sent the last email. My patience ran out. So I filed a complaint with BBB. And I strongly encourage any one who have similr problems with La Crosse to do the same. We can't just let them sell faulty products and ignore the customers.



Update: My case with BBB was closed as UNRESOLVED due to NO RESPONSE from La Crosse. Now La Crosse has the lowest rating of F in BBB system. Check it out before you buy!More detail ...
