  The Dinner Ladies

High quality, convenient and so delicious – I'm so happy I found Dinner Ladies. It has been amazing to have my freezer full of excellent home style meals, made from real ingredients. This has been our family's saviour while

we try to balance schedules and different dietary requirements. There's a wide variety of meals to choose from, the menu items change regularly, nutrition information available and the packaging is mostly compostable and recyclable. Ticks many boxes for us. Thank you so much Dinner Ladies!

  Crayola Washable Kids Paint

Strongly fragranced – This kids paint has reasonable colour and coverage but a warning to anyone sensitive to fragrance - this product has a strong perfume fragrance. Even when dry the smell has

overwhelmed the room. I won't be able to use this product again and I wouldn't recommend it to any families sensitive to fragrances.

  Verified Modibodi

Good, not yet perfect – I'm really glad Modibodi products exist, definitely a step in the right direction for women and girls of all different ages and circumstances. That said, I do think some products

need some improvement.

I purchased my Modibodi underwear 8 months ago in 3 different styles - 2 pairs Seamfree Full Brief heavy, 2 pairs Classic Full Brief light/moderate, and 1 pair Lace Full Brief light/moderate, all in the same size - my regular size. The main problem I have had is all 3 styles have a vastly different fit for me. The Classic full brief are the best fit and are really comfortable. The Seamfree heavy is way too big around the waistband, small around the midsection and has not enough coverage around the legs and loose leg holes and not much stretch overall, a really strange shape. The absorbent panel goes all the way to the waistband at the back and has no stretch at all which I found uncomfortable. The Lace full brief in light/moderate is made of more comfortable material, but the waistband was too big while the leg holes are too small. I haven't had this problem with other brands so I don't think I have unusual proportions!

Performance wise I have found them to be quite good. The moderate/light pants are great for lower flow days and as a back up used with other products. Feels like wearing normal underwear but with confidence of no leaks. On very heavy days the heavy pants were not sufficient to last out the whole day, and I found it's a bit of an uncomfortable feeling not being able to change easily. For me these are most useful for night times, although I have had occasional leaks. If you have really heavy days or surges I wouldn't rely on these alone. All pairs have worn well in this time and I haven't had any problems with quality or smell.

Overall, I find the Classic Full Brief in light/moderate to be the best style and I'll keep using these as a back up and on lighter days - and I'd recommend these to anyone. I think the Seamfree/ heavy absorbency styles need improvement, and I can't recommend them as they are. Thanks Modibodi for working towards better solutions for women!

Can't rate it highly enough – After using our Miele washing machine for many years trouble free, decided it was time to get a dryer. The unit price is much higher than other dryers, but the high efficiency of

this heat pump model showed on projections on energy saving sites that it would be many thousands of dollars cheaper to run over the years. It hasn't disappointed so far. Our 5 person household has given it a good workout over winter and it has been quiet, gentle on the clothes and no problems with it's functioning at all in the 5 months we have owned it so far.

After drying almost all our clothes over winter using the dryer, our electricity bill for the winter quarter was $50 more expensive than usual, but our gas bill went down by $70 as prior to this we would use the gas heater a lot more to help us get our clothes dry. It sounds like a big claim to make, but I think it actually saved us on energy use. The convenience and low energy use (and resulting lack of guilt about having a dryer) are well worth the high initial cost to me. Would highly recommend.

Can't recommend – Something seems to have gone wrong at Booktopia. Have ordered before with no problems. This time ordered 12 items, 10 of which were in stock and available with "shipped in 1-3

days" label on their site. 16 days later no items have been delivered and I've received a shipping notice for only 3 of the items with an expected delivery in 3 more days.

No answer to either of my emails. 40 min wait on phone to speak to customer service, who were pleasant and gave assurances and offer of free express post, but that was 4 days ago and I still have had no more shipping notifications.

I ordered 3 weeks in advance of when I needed some the items, I'm worried that I'm not going to have any of them in time. If you are relying on the advertised shipping and delivery times I would buy elsewhere.
