I’m sure there are loads more

Before most bigger purchases or trying a new brand I search Mumsnet. I start threads about things I want to buy, I read recommendations, I dip in and out of different sub forums.

What have you bought because of Mumsnet?

#IStandWithMumsnet

Also Holiday Pirates.

Assigned i found it harder to wash off. I wonder it was something to do with the soap I chose?

I also have a disability and my right hand will hold the shower gel bottle easier than a piece of soap and I can't see where it has landed in the shower. we didn't used to have gel when I was growing up so there must be a trick I've forgotten, or it was always just very hard.

A steam cleaner. It was shit.

This probably wasn’t the best of threads to sit down and peruse 🙄🙈

Online baskets/bookmarks all over the place 😂

Uniqlo Heattech
Too much stuff from Hush, including 'the' ruched skirt
The Ordinary skincare
La Roche Posay Effaclar stuff
Collection Lash Surge mascara
Chanel Vitalumière foundation, which I then replaced with...
Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation
Biore Watery Essence
Supergas
Soap instead of shower gel
Korean exfoliating cloth things
Properly fitting bras thanks to the MN bra intervention

Ugg Abrees
Lots of Christmas ideas - the Woolovers jumpers, wallet ninja, sugru, grid-it organiser
Lots of books, movies, TV shows...

Epistick. Didn’t work for me.
Lumea. Wish I’d bought one years ago!
Nip and fab. Awesome.
Zofolora - meh.

Ah, God sorry didn't think of that Bagadverts.

Has anyone mentioned FRERs? I've bought enough of them to keep the company in profit for years

Spring hair removal thingy is literally a small tightly coiled spring that you roll over your facial fuzz, effectively tweezing it all in a few strokes. It’s a great way to wake yourself up in the morning. 😂

And I bought mine because of MN.

(Also instant pot, window vac, steam mop, Miele vac, salt waters, heated airer, most kid stuff, a million books and god only knows what else...)

I forgot about the hair remover springy thing. I couldn't take the pain, especially around my top lip. I got a recommended Epilator instead.

Oh yeah, a Lumea! I forgot that one.

Babyliss Big Hair. Wouldn't be without it. I was let down with my Dyson Animal though. It's crap and the rollers keep jamming with hair.
I also keep an eye out for recommendations of places to go and recently had a decent meal at the Olive Grove in Oundle.

Leggings from Sainsbury
Jeggings from Sainsbury
Zoflora
Heated Airer
Cordless Dyson (changed my life, I recommend)

Lots of things which have become family staples now.

My favourite remains a pair of smart UGG boots.

Dyson cordless vacuum
Silver cross pioneer
Be safe iZi modular car seat
Lots from jojomamanbebe using Mumsnet discount
Pourty potties
Gummi glove
Aldi nappies

These are just some of the things I bought after checking out recommendations on Mumsnet. Pretty much purchase I’ll take a look on Mumsnet for inspiration.

OMG sooooo many FRERS!

Not only FRERs, but those internet cheapie test strips too, probably hundreds of them

A fair few things, although I can't remember them all. BBH, books, going to try Aldi shampoo/body stuff.. loads more.

Nothing that makes my brain work though!

I have bought quite a lot of food (often "treat" food) as a result of MN threads.

Also books, a pair of shoes (in a "what shoes can I stand up all day at work in?" thread), kids' present stuff, god knows what else. I still haven't tried zoflora, though.

I feel proud at all the posters mentioning Method, as I have been faithfully plugging their loo cleaner (it's brilliant) for ages!

@Bottled you have a Kelly kettle! I love mine, and I don't even go camping any more. It's a kind of comfort blanket for me, sitting in my box cupboard.

Zoflora
Perfume
Books

DeVol Kitchen

Caroline hirons skincare regime friendly products
Retin a
A Philips lumea
Loads of Korean skincare

And I love all of the above.

I have bought loads of things because I have seen them on mums net - stuff from Verbaudet, Great Little Trading Company, Baukjen, Boden.

This morning I use zoflora - as recommended on mn.
I also bought a washing machine from an independent shop because I have read a number of threads about how John Lewis' customer service has gone downhill - but I do get my bras fitted from John Lewis because Marks fitters are so useless.
I've also bought a few fit flops online because of a thread in style and beauty last week.

I will not buy from any organisation who stops advertising on mumsnet as a result of pressure from trans activists.

In addition to my earlier list, I've just bought some cloth sanitary towels. Recommended on a thread on MN. Thanks lovely vipers!

I would be most interested to know if any advertisers do in fact drop MN as a result of third party pressure.
