To want you all to name and shame, crap products you have bought. I'll start...

Mitchum, smart solid deodorant for men (what's the difference for women?)

I bought two of these stick deodorants, the deodorant part fell off both of them, making them unusable, when I rolled it up, and no I didn't roll it up too much.

Anyone else?

Sainsbury's gone fishing game. I struggle to catch a fish and I am an adult. Just a quick and easy way to frustrate your DC.

We were given an electric wine bottle opener which has about the size of a thermos flask and needed loads of batteries to do a worse job than a corkscrew.

We bought some Asda hair conditioner on holiday once which left everybody's hair bought rough and sticky.

Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner. Great until the stick wears down and then you're supposed to sharpen it, except you can't, because IT'S PLASTIC!

Fecking mandolin slicer. There's a part of my finger I'll never see again.

Another JML sucker here: JML Doktor Power Dry Foam

Cost me over a tenner and did absolutely nothing. It smells disgusting and was definitely not bloody dry. We couldn't sit on the sofa for two fecking days!! Plus my arm nearly fell off after rolling the shitty foam roller over and over and the cat had a sneezing fit every time she sniffed the sofa.

Total CRAP!

Homebase own brand paint. You need about four coats and three cans at least to cover a small room. Useless, runny and thin.

Henry hoover is a BASTARD. Most body scrubs are useless, gradual tanning products are awful too. I am destined to be a scaly splodgy person forever :(

I love my nappy bin. Every time I change the cassette, I just use Tesco Multi purpose wipes to clean it, and then it doesn't smell. I HATE the idea of dirty nappies in my kitchen, it lives in the downstairs bathroom.

I don't have an outside bin, though. Or any space to put one. So I have a choice between putting pooey nappies in my kitchen bin, or having a nappy bin.

I had one for DS1, 11 years ago - there's no way I would be without one for DS3!

I use Soda crystals loads. Half the amount of washing powder, what's not to love?

You can also make a paste with it, put it on your grouting and it cleans your grouting really well. Even if the grouting has started to go slightly mouldy.

this felt like i was using sandpaper on my legs.

Never tried the stick, but the Mitchum spray deodorant (that smells like baby powder) is the BEST deodorant I've ever used.

I may give any attempt at the stick a miss after reading this though!

I live my Dyson, too. The only gripe I have is that I have to constantly cut my hair off the beater bar. But it is easily accessible, unlike all the Hoovers I have had before.

I've had my Dyson Animal for 6 years now, and with one minor repair, it is still going strong.

Most other hoovers only lasted me 6 months before the amount of hair wound around the inaccessible beater bar stopped it from working.

A Henry in particular - I would have got more bits up off the floor using a straw and my own suction power...

foundation in general - I have never found one that actually looks right

I agree with emmie31, we had the hotpoint aquarius washer drier too. It leaked, it smelt, was a pain in the arse to fit, same to clean, the drier never managed to actually dry anything, it just about managed to get it from cold and wet, to warm and very damp. We ended up getting a drier to go with it. Washer packed up, so we have a nice LG one now, the drier is still going strong.

The Mitchum roll on is ok. The smell is what tends to be different for men.

I'm afraid I'm going to add Dyson vacuum cleaners. Rubbish.

Miele or the Henry for me.

I empty it straight into a binbag rather than the bin, my Dyson. Then you can hold the bag shut around the too so no dust escapes. I then put that bag into my bin, and fill on top with rubbish.

I agree on most of the others, but I ? my Dyson.

Snoopy sno-cone maker. Thought we'd make Margaritas. An hour later we decided to just use a bloody blender!

Vodafone Sure Signal Box - third one we've had in 3 years and this one won't BL**DY work. Had no mobile signal in the house for over 2 months and I'm paying them a small fortune every month.

Cillit Bang dribbled down the front door of a friends old Aga, and she had to have the door re-enamelled! Lord only knows what it does to other stuff you want to clean.

Its banned from this house!

Foot spa-most useless thing- EVER

BB cream
neither a foundation, or a moisturiser. just a greasy orange tinge

Dry shampoo, WHY

Bravissimo bra, and M&S bra. PAINFUL

Vacuum storage bag.

They deflate after about 15 seconds.

I still keep buying them in the hope next one will be THE ONE. Sucker.
