Same here with superdry, ds wouldn't wear out but has been gifted a few from family and he wears them in bed in winter.

Having never heard of the Crimpit is it really good ?

Gruelle · 26/11/2023 13:05

Don’t know about good, @BeaLola, but my 2 for 1 order arrived yesterday and they are small.

About to investigate the Stanley ice thing whatever cup …

I thought that too when I first saw it but checked the size with a empty wrap (Tesco own make) and it fitted without much wastage around the edge. When the wrap is filled the wrap circumference will be slightly smaller so it looks it is right size for us. Any larger and it wouldn't crimp all the way around the edges.

FelicityGraceSpoon · 26/11/2023 13:56

The Crimpit does have to be relatively small to do its crimping : )

And it's ok as a little extra gift if you see what I mean? It's won't set the world on fire but it probably has some longevity and will be used

Loving this thread.
Can anyone recommend a shampoo (or any other products) for a very curly haired teenage boy?
I'm a bit stuck for him and pretty much this whole thread would suit his brother.

SpringingJoy · 26/11/2023 14:44

Never heard of a crimpit but got totally sucked in by all the mentions so had a look. As they were BOGOF I bought the wraps type for dc1 and 2.

Entered card details and paid...but when the option came up to buy another two for £10 I pressed the wrong button and it updated my order and debited my card again automatically...so now I have four coming 🤦‍♀️

savvy7 · 26/11/2023 15:02

Superdry still a popular option in my household - with the minimal branding. Quality is good too.

Amazon did have Calvin Klein boxers £19ish for 3 but they have gone up in price again

Ds has very long super curly hair. He's a rocker and gets complimented on it all the time. He uses normal shampoo and conditioner anf Tigi Bedhead After Party. It's unfortunately in pink packaging but don't let that put you off.

ViolaSmart · 26/11/2023 19:00

My ds uses Cantu and Shea Moisture conditioners aswell as Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly for his curly hair.

familyissues12345 · 26/11/2023 21:42

Brilliant ideas on this thread! Now the proud owner of two crimpets....

BeaLola · 26/11/2023 22:01

Thank you all for crimpet feedback - looking forward to DS wowing me with a wrap when he uses it Grin

Gruelle · 26/11/2023 23:07

I’ve shoved the Crimpit packs into a pile of bagged or boxed unwrapped presents in a largely forgotten corner. I absolutely know that in two or three weeks I’ll pick one out of the pile and wonder what the hell it is and what on earth prompted me to order it … Hmm

Gruelle · 26/11/2023 23:10

Refused to buy the wrap crimped because shop bought wraps are surely even more of an UPF than plain bread.

Glowlamp · 26/11/2023 23:29

The bawbags boxers are great fit too. Lots of rugby themed. This was meant to be a reply to the person who mentioned oddballs boxers!

Welshcheddar · 27/11/2023 09:35

Thanks for the curly ideas, they sound great.

TheLastParty · 27/11/2023 18:43

2 crimpits purchased here Blush

Notsojollyroger · 27/11/2023 19:48

Crimpit question! To get bogof do you add one or two to ur basket? Assume one but just want to check!

Some great ideas, will be back to this thread!

Blanketpolicy · 27/11/2023 20:00

It was a BOGOF "bundle" I added just 1 for £14.99.

Love that they now have a LOW stocks message 🤣

BigBoysDontCry · 27/11/2023 20:35

I've ended up with 4....

I thought that Amazon had a better deal so ordered there and then realised I should have ordered direct. Cancelled the amazon order within the hour, but they apparently didn't manage so it was dispatched 2 days later....

Not free returns as they came from the crimpit people themselves, so although it's all just a few quid, I grudge paying to return them.
