Does Avon skin so soft really keep the midgies away?

[nevergoogledragonbutter]

Moving to scotland so need to know.

Also, where can i get it cheapest?

Yes it does. I use it all the time when i go back. Am so that you are moving to Scotland, whereabouts are you moving to?
Try Avon online, sometimes it is BOGOF of 3 for £5.00

D&G.
Been away for nearly 10 years, and now moving back to the same region i grew up in.

...and the midgies love me.

yeah it works, I use it all the time.

Agree avon online about the best for bargains etc.

OOh, I'm from there!. ooh, wondering which part now, the D or the G?

With the Avon its this one you need but my mate says she uses the same smelling shower gel and it works jsut as well.

I may be just me but I find it dosen't stop them from landing on me - I just find if I use plenty they will drown in it. However most people seem to find it works for them.

do you have to cover yourself in it?
i presume it's pleasant and not sticky like normal repellants?

Just spray it on, it has a smell,but it's pleasant, it dries into teh skin.
I love Moffat. The Dses like going to teh big park there. I'm from teh D part of the county as well, more over to the East of the county though

skin so soft works well works well in all areas of D&G. i have used it pretty much across the whole region apart from way out west.
You have to apply it quite frequently apparently MOD tested it at 17and a half minutes intervals to be most affective.

17 and a half minutes!

saltire, i wonder if we know each other. hmm.

It does work (we're in Angus tho', east coast midgies are a bit guff, apparently)

We stayed in a B&B in Moffat once - it had simulateously the most dayglo trippy bedcovers and squeakiest bedsprings ever.

Great combo for a couple wed but 6 months

Yes, it works! I'm from the Western Isles and my mum still lives there - major midgies up there. Some evenings it's unthinkable to even open the door or go out to take in the washing. UNLESS of course you have your Avon skin-so-soft! I bought 2 for 1 initially, sent them up to my Mum to see if they'd work. I got a frantic phone call a week or so later - my normally laid-back mum demanding that I immediately buy as many as I can afford and send them all up to her asap, just in case it was discontinued or something!

I've used it myself when up home on a holiday and I was amazed (and happy). Yes, you have to reapply rather a lot, but hey, it's worth it

Dragonbutter, I wonder if we do, I used to know someone from Moffat through youth club work

I love Moffat toffee

when you say east of the region, are we talking eskdalemuir, lockerbie or gretna?

Sort of. Near there. Very east, as far east as it's possible without being in the Borders.IYSWIM
