I received the playtex standard bottle set as a baby shower gift and I was so excited to try them. Before I started researching bottles I had never heard of the VentAire bottles. Although the bottles do have a few more parts than normal they are a very nice design. The bottle is angled so that the baby doesn't suck air as the formula gets lower in the bottle. It also makes it a lot easier t...

I remember seeing the Playtex Drop Ins a long time ago and have always heard of how great they were. I decided to purchase the newborn gift set to give them a try. First, it was great that it had very few parts to wash. Only the nipple and ring needs to be washed often. But along with this, the downfall is the price of the drop ins. They are pretty pricy when you consider that you are supposed ...

After being back to work for a few weeks and pumping breast milk for my daughter, I was aware at the rate I was going through breast milk storage bags.  I was pumping about 16 oz. a day, and I would split that into 4-oz increments for my daughter's meals the next day, so I was using at least 4 bags a day.  The bags I used came in 25/box, so I was going through a box every 6 days, ...

I have used the Playtex drop-in liner bottle system for my son since he first began taking bottles.  I used an Avent feeding system with my daughter and much prefer the Playtex.  These bottles have a rubber nipple which my son took to quite well.  The bottle itself is hollow and the milk is placed into a liner that is dropped into the hole.  The thing I love most about this ...

We've used these cups for a long time now.  They are very good at preventing spills, at least when the children leave the lids on.  They also make an insulated version, which does a pretty good job of keeping the drinks cool.Most of the problems we've had with them have come after our dishwasher broke.  Since we've been handwashing them, the cups have had a tendency t...

This sippy cup is a great idea, especially in the summer while trying to keep drinks cool, and appealing and keeping the child hydrated. However, there is one downfall with this cup. The insulated material seems quite heavier than that of a normal sippy cup, and the cup becomes quite heavy when filled with liquid. The cups designs are great, almost holographic and are a delight to look at. It i...

The Playtex Premium Nurser is the best way to bottle feed your baby!  The bottles have these great little drop in plastic liners that are also disposable.  All you have to do is drop in the liner, fill with milk, screw on the top and then squeeze the liners so that there is no air.  As the baby drinks, the liner colapses leaving baby bubble free and giving you a fuss free night, ...

I received  a sample of the Playtex Petals cleansing cloths and loved it and now it is one of my favorite things.  You get 16 in a box and it is a great price of only $3.75 they are individually wrapped and I always carry a few in my purse with me.   The scent is very soft and not to over powering and they are flushable and are very moist when you open them unlike the o...

I got this for a shower gift. At first it was great. Then we started to have problems. The twist system. After a few months of use the twist system starting acting up. I was having to twist between 6-10 times when the instructions say 3. Also it wouldn't twist all the way, so I would have 2 or more diapers in in one tube. Because of that more of the packaging was used. The Cutter.  At ...

I really love this product and didn't know how useful it would be until we had it. It is very easy to use. All you do is buy the insert and put it in when the bag runs out of the old one. Then you open the lid and place the dirty diaper inside and push down a little. It then goes into the bag and the section closes so the smell does not get out. Once it becomes hard to press the diapers int...

This is a fantastic product!  I researched every breast pump I could find before deciding on this one.  The primary reason I chose this one is because it has a soft cup that mimics a babies sucking motion.  The other brands I looked at had hard plastic and looked more uncomfortable.I will say that this does hurt more than when I breastfeed but I'm guessing that's because ...

The Hip Hammock is a natural way to carry your baby! It's designed for babies 15 - 35 pounds. It lets you use your hip to carry baby and spare your back! Easy to set up and use, great for shopping, airports, doctor's visits etc.  It keeps your childs legs to the side of you so they are out of your way when you walk.  My son LOVES this hammock and just cuddles up with me when h...

I bought Playtex's Drop Ins Nurser Newborn gift set when it was time for my mom to watch my baby and toddler. When my oldest girl was a baby I had to work. My babysitter found one of the baby bottles in this package. That was the only bottle and nipple she would drink from. So when I needed to have my mom feed my current baby I decided to buy the whole package. The bottle I originally had I...

This is the "Petite Double Electric Breast Comfort System with SoftComfort Massaging Breast Cups" I bought this pump quickly with out doing any research because it looked like it would be a good choice for the money. I brought it home, put it together, and started to pump. Half an hour later I had no milk. The pump was very loud, I could not relax while pumping because of the noi...

When I became pregnant I wanted to find a bottle that would reduce gas in my future newborn baby.  Then all the media started talking about the BPA chemicals in baby bottles.  I researched and found that the playtex drop ins were not suppost to have that chemical in them and they were designed to reduce gas and colic in babies.  These particular bottles have plastic liners that d...

I don't normally buy Playtex tampons because the plastic applicator is not environmentally friendly, and they're a little more expensive than Tampax. But I received a $3.00 coupon for Playtex Sport tampons, a new product in my grocery store. So I picked up a box to try them out. The first thing I noticed was that the "quiet, durable, easy-open wrapper" wasn't so easy to op...

Between winter lingering and the fact I use a lot of cleaning fluids it's no wonder that I have been battling a rash on both my hands. The rash no more than heals up and I notice an itching and irritation feeling on the back of my hands and there is the same rash coming back. So I decided to find a better solution than just costly triple antibiotic cream applied often. I spotted an old favo...

We have used the Playtex nurser for awhile. It is a great bottle. It is probaly one of the brands of bottles that have been around for quite some time. I guess that shows that it must be a decent bottle if it has survived this long. It has been proven to reduce gas and colic in babies. The reason that is because you can squeeze the air out of the liner.  You can get it in 4 oz and 8 o...

I was first introduced to this product in the 1970s when my mother was looking for a good cleaner for wiping baby's bottoms. Not to brag, but I am the oldest of nine children and I spent a lot of time wiping poop from babies' bottoms. At the time I had three brothers in diapers.We loved the product. It wiped the babies clean and kept the rashes from developing. It was a number one produ...

Every woman knows how bad that time of the month can be, so why would we choose to make it any worse than what it has to be? Cramps, headaches, backaches, bloating.. The list goes on forever. And, it's inevitable; every woman has had her share of fights with tampons. Everything from leaking to not fitting right, we all have had issues at some point. I believe that my friends and I have...
