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?

That new Gillette / Olay razor. Fine (just about, for legs) but far too bendy and lumpy for any other area.
Was going to leave a review on Boots but was Shock by volume of positive reviews.

Lidls nappies - got them due to MN recommending them, they must have changed them big time because I got mightily fed up with them leaking ALL the time. AWFUL!

Comets special edition Dyson. Not what I wanted but DH was trying to save money. Two years later, dirty carpets, and lots of arguments about why I can't have a new one.

Only thing it's good for is a workout.

YY to Jolen wax strips - utter crap. And they smell stale.

M&S bra fitters. Expertly trained my arse. I have never once had a bra fitted by them that fitted for more than 10 minutes after I left the shop. LaSenza all the way.

Sanex zero. I love their usual 48hr one (not that i need itfor 48 hrs), but last time i picked up the zero version. I stank....

Roobot - DH has excema and psoriasis and always used Sanex. Until someone on here recommended Tesco/Sainsbury value baby wash at 28p for a huge bottle. He never uses anything else now.
Think about it -even though it is basics/value range it has been formulated to be purest for delicate baby skin, so gentle on the most sensitive skin.

Everything king of shaves make. absolute crap!

Yeah, but the thing about owning a Ped-Egg is that you never have to 'run out' of Parmesan cheese.

Any hair product that trumpets its suitability for dry hair but contains Sodium Laureth Sulphate ie 80% of them.

Aveeno body lotion: looks and feels like jizz

JaneS totally agree re: Waitrose veg! RANK! Also Waitrose 'crispy parmesan potatoes'. Smelled like roast sick.

Lush's Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo / most scented candles / Tesco's own brand choc bars (but Sainsburys own are great)

Jamie Oliver's super duper (or whatever) sandwiches in Boots.
So bad even the ducks fled from the bread Sad
