Products you constantly see in adverts that you would never buy

[WomenHour]

Got to be either
Half price sofas or life insurance.

Mattresses. I would never buy a mattress without being able to have a sit/lie down on one first. Even though a lot of them say you can return after 100 days or something, do people really bother? Seems like a lot of hassle.

Anything by JML!

Fabric softener. Never bought it in my life.

We actually bought an Emma mattress recently based on the reviews being mostly positive and also a number of reviews that said returning them was a breeze (apparently they collect and then refund your money). We won't be returning it however as we really like it!

I understand wanting to see a half price sofa but I'm confused about the life insurance thing @womenhour?

Grammarly.

Brand new car. No thanks!

Cars
Stair lifts
Double glazing

I need a new mobility scooter but won't buy one online. I need to try it out. It means a longish taxi ride there and back and my friend thinks I'm crazy but doesn't understand that I have tried different scooters in the past and some are not only uncomfortable but can cause pain.

I'm with Pinksun12 re fabric softener - hideous stuff.

I wouldn't buy a sofa either; how can you possibly tell from a 20 second ad if it's comfortable. Although maybe I would make an exception if Owen Wilson came with it.

expensive perfume

A holiday to Butlins. No thanks Stacey Solomon. Shudder.

Femfresh
Equity release
Safe style windows
LOL dolls (I hope)

Shoes online

Cars. I can't drive and never plan to learn.

-Surf washing powder
-Some sort of breaded chicken wrap things, I think McDonalds but could be KFC

• virgin media voice activated, er, product. I don’t know what it is but you shout “coffee coffee coffee!!” at it. No thanks, I’ll just press a button
• Budweiser

Any perfume or a brand new car

That intimate area stuff for discomfort caused by pee or chaffing. Dds look in horror when it comes on. Pretty much anything I see on tv. Except dishwasher tablets.

Definitely Grammarly. It follows me everywhere. Worst voiceovers ever.

Air fresheners or scented products for your loo

Family tree software. No I am not giving you ALL my family information for free so you can sell it to someone else, thanks.

For me it's adverts for 'must have' albums that are anything but, the latest Take That or Robbie being excellent examples but by no means exclusive to them
