Has any one heard of "SILLY BILLYZ"

Hi, ladies last week I started a thread in various places looking for bibs for my severely reflux DS. Some of you tried helping me but I was stuck on not using pelican type bibs.
We had a nice family day out last weekend & on an impulse we drove towards Reigate College to see ?BABY SHOW 4 YOU?. I wasn?t planning to buy anything (haha) but as I walked in first thing I saw was this wall of colourful bibs. After looking at the bibs and speaking to the people at the stand, I found out these were a new brand launched in the UK, especially designed for reflux and messy babies!! My prayers have been answered?. Ladies, the colour range is out of this world!
Apparently these bibs, are called Silly Billyz, and are made of an anti-pill polar fleece, and are all backed with a water resistant nylon. Uniquely these bibs do not stain, rip, crack, or carry the traits of usual bibs. They can be machine washed and tumble dried NO PROBLEM!!! Sceptical at first I purchased 3 at the show (they were about £3.50 each), and after using them on Sunday I am hooked.
I wanted more of these miracle bibs and searched the net for more. They do not seem to be sold by many companies as yet in the UK, presumably as they have only just launched. But they can be purchased from several online stores already!

I have also found a similar site to Mumsnet in New Zealand ( that?s where the bibs come from ) check this out & see what other moms are saying about these Bibs. If any one out there had similar problems like mine & wanted good bibs you can get all the information from this site.
I am glad my hunt for bibs is over, and reflux nightmares seem to be a thing of the past

is this an advert by any chance???? Sounds like it. Sorry if im wrong

competitionwinningCOD · 21/09/2004 11:05

this is a crefully planned advert and I cant se why thegoodmans didnt want o use the soft pelican I sufggested
have contacted mn

Tissy · 21/09/2004 11:08

yep, I had the same thought; within a week thegoodmans has found the solution to her "reflux nightmares".

thegoodmans · 21/09/2004 11:14

Advert for what?

bobbysgirl · 21/09/2004 11:15

?????????

littlemissbossy · 21/09/2004 11:15

for the product that you appear to be selling

thegoodmans · 21/09/2004 11:27

Ohhh I see, I am sorry ladies dint mean to I just joined on mums net last week the main purpose was bibs for my reflux DS. If you had a reflux son you would understand why I was so excited about these products.
competitionwinningCOD - the main reason I dint use pelican bibs was because my SIL had used these ones ( I had posted back the same)

Anyway I have read with interest other postings where moms had exchanged the products I thought that?s what we do here.

As I said if one of you had reflux babies you would know?

I DO have a baby with reflux and I STILL think your cheeky!

JanH · 21/09/2004 11:30

But she isn't selling them, is she? She's just excited and a bit evangelical about it?

codswallop · 21/09/2004 11:34

JANH GET OF ME MODERATION!

JanH · 21/09/2004 11:35

sorry miss

Beccarollover · 21/09/2004 11:35

hmmm probably not selling just raising their profile

Tissy · 21/09/2004 11:36

aah, but how do you know she isn't selling them, JanH? Call me an old cynic, but thegoodmans message reads rather like one of those "Advertisement promotions" that you get in Sunday magazines. The bibs may be absorbent and colourful, but thegoodmans uses words like "miracle","uniquely", "prayers answered" it just doesn't ring true to me.

codswallop · 21/09/2004 11:37

janh is still envious of my role as products mod

littlemissbossy · 21/09/2004 11:37

she's on commission I tell you

JanH · 21/09/2004 11:38

no, you're right, Tissy, I don't know - was giving benefit of doubt (or being naive!) I agree the wording is a bit OTT - "Sceptical at first I purchased 3 at the show"!!!

wobblyknicks · 21/09/2004 11:38

Have to agree - it sounds like an advert. I've found many products here and there which I've raved about on MN but that post just sounds too structured to be just a mum excited about a product.

JanH · 21/09/2004 11:39

I will get it yet, old fishface haha!

Tissy · 21/09/2004 11:42

in addition, out of 14 posts in the last few days, 13 have been about reflux- now her "prayers have been answered".

thegoodmans, you're welcome on Mumsnet if you are not trying to line your own pockets; even if you are, pay the £25 fee and you're still welcome! If you're just excited about the bibs, perhaps you would attract less negative comment if you waited for someone to ask for bib recommendations!

thegoodmans · 21/09/2004 11:56

Noted ? Tissy I will if I have to sell something. God forbid If I have to live on commission selling bibs?. good start of week for me though.

sorry, I still don't buy it thegoodmans. No pun intended
