Sample share: Cottonelle cleancare routine

My final sample share of this epic run: Cottonelle clean care routine. It included a sample of both toilet paper and wipes for me, as well as coupons and travel packs for three of my lucky friends!.

The first thing I did was set up the cleansing wipes dispenser. With six people sharing a bathroom (most of them boys!) you can never have too many cleaning items available. I was pleased with how easy the pack was to open and how easy it was to fill the dispenser.

Nice, easy rip!

It sits nicely on our bar soap holder!

It's first use came quickly-I had a messy four year old who just couldn't wipe his bum well enough! The usual solution? He bends over while mommy cleans him with some wet toilet paper. That's got to feel gross (although my DS just giggles!). The Cottonelle wipes were perfect-quick and easy! Next I got to pick out who to dish the sample packs to.

Bob looks very enthusiastic!

My mom is my sampling buddy! I can always count on her for an honest opinion--and a great photo!

Ron was excited to try these out-he wouldn't put the cat down for the photo op!

As you can imagine, toilet paper flies off my shelves. We've tried just about every brand you can imagine. Of all the brands we've tried, this is one of the softest. The texture made my six year old to rub the new rolls against his cheek since it was so soft! It was strong and didn't rip or shred when we tore it into squares (one of our DS loves to over-use toilet paper, so we've taken to lying out a few squares across the counter to avoid a half roll being used every time he pees--and that's not an exaggeration!) nor when we wet it for easy clean up once the wipes we used up. Cottonelle is easily one of my top three brands, and I love to stock up when I find a great sale!

"Mom! it's so SOFT!"

"I love this paper!!"

Sample Share: Kleenex

July continues to be a great crowdtap month! (Side note: I won $25 worth of Amazon gift cards on top of my sample shares! Feeding my Amazon addiction!) This time, my boys and I got to sample Kleenex tissues! The box reads "thick & absorbent." I feel like "soft" should have been thrown in for good measure. I could not come up with anything negative to say! To be perfectly honest, we are usually a "buy whatever is wicked cheap" family, and we usually grab a few squares of toilet paper to wipe our noses during cold season. We always find ourselves grabbing kleenex off the shelves in late August, as the boy's school specifically asked for the brand--and now I can see why! The tissues were softer than any other I've used. The boys and I had a ton of fun testing out the tissues:

Apparently, according to L "This is where we gotta put the tissues!"

Schick Hydro 5 groomer

Happy July! Today's sampling review is of the Schick Hydro 5 Groomer! It's a neat 4-in-1 styling tool. One end has a shaver, and the other end is the groomer styling tool.

Neat groomer tool

Shaving end-should have taken the photo BEFORE hubby used it!

The blades allowed for a nice, easy clean shave. The groomer helped, as he had quite a bit of facial hair to get off (he trims it down then clean shaves). He normally used an electric shaver, but this groomer did the trick (it even vibrates!). With a price point of roughly $12-16, depending on where you buy, it's a decent price. It's cheaper than many of the grooming sets I took a look at, and does a good job.

Silly faces (notice his is the same ;))
