Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Super Duper Diaper Doo Review


Have you heard of the wonderful Super Duper Diaper Doo?



Super Duper Diaper Doo is exactly what it sounds like! It is the all natural solution that can heal and protect your baby's skin from diaper rash and irritation. The name instantly caught my attention!
I've heard my mom and other family members rant and rave over this diaper rash cream so I decided that now that I have my own I should check further into what Super Duper Diaper Doo is all about.

The first thing I discovered is that this diaper rash cream is hard to come across unless you know exactly what you're looking for and where to look. My husband and I registered for our baby shower at Target and Toys R Us and we were disappointed to find that we were not able to add Super Duper Diaper Doo to our registry.

I was surprised to find that Super Duper Diaper Doo can actually be purchased at our local Walmart. The kicker is that it has to be purchased at the pharmacy even though it is an over the counter product. I was also able to find it at many local pharmacy's and of course on Amazon and online at Super Duper Diaper Doo. I was also able to find it for sale in bulk on the Sam's Club website.

I contacted the president of the company to learn more. I learned that Super Duper Diaper Doo actually originated in my home town of Columbia, Missouri!

Super Duper Diaper Doo is a gel made of the active ingredient Lanolin and inactive ingredients White Petrolatum and Boric Acid. A lot of other Diaper Rash creams have a lanolin base but do not contain these other two ingredients. Also, the best part about Super Duper Diaper Doo is that unlike most other diaper rash creams, it contains no extra ingredients and no fragrance which makes less of a chance for an extra skin reaction. We all know that we don't want to make a bad case of diaper rash even worse!

I found that Super Duper Diaper Doo is very convenient. It is packaged in a flip top tube that can easily stand upright. It is also packaged in a small jar that seems like it would be handy as well. The tube is easy to squeeze that the Super Duper Diaper Doo gel is very easy to apply. I also found that this is one of the only diaper rash treatments that doesn't burn baby's bottom when applied to raw skin and was very effective in treating diaper rash!

I highly recommend this product to all parents out there that are searching for the perfect diaper rash treatment. Super Duper Diaper Doo is slightly more expensive than other brands of diaper rash cream but I believe that it is well worth the extra money. If purchased from their website, the Super Duper Diaper Doo 2.5 oz tube is $6.49. This also contains two FREE 2 gram tubettes for "DOO on the GO." Shipping is $2.50. I would recommend checking local pharmacy's to see if they carry this great product.

I received no compensation for my review other than a free sample
of the product. All opinions expressed are my own!

Belly Bumps and Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Daddy Scrubs Review & Giveaway!

DaddyScrubs™ is the offspring of Robert Nickell, who fathered his first four children more than 20 years ago. DaddyScrubs™ was conceived when Robert, who remarried in 2007, discovered he was about to be a father all over again in the fall of 2009!
Not wanting to endure the pains of wearing uncomfortable street clothes while comforting his laboring wife, Robert hatched the idea of creating doctor-like scrubs for himself. It seemed a natural thing for him to do — since Robert is a pharmacist by profession.
To eliminate the confusion between “who’s the doctor” and “who’s the daddy,” Robert fashioned the concept of “I’m The Daddy™” medical scrubs.
                                                                                                                                              (www.DaddyScrubs.Com)

 

Daddy Scrubs is an online store that sells awesome gifts for new & proud Daddys including "Daddy" attire and fun accerssories. They are known for their "Im the Daddy" Scrub Set. These scrubs are adorable and are sure to get some serious attention in the delivery room while keeping dad comforatable during the labor and delivery process.
We received a Daddy Scrubs Certified New Daddy Tee and a set of Daddy Scrubs to review! The scrubs are made of very high quality material and are made to last. The scrubs were a little stiff but after a couple of washes they are very soft and comfortable. My husband ordered the Medium size and they fit him perfectly! The tee was also a medium and was a perfect fit! The scrubs say, "I'm the Daddy" in big font across the back and says, "Daddy" on the front pocket.

These are a couple of other fun products that they offer:

I LOVE the Certified New Daddy Tee and so does my husband. The scrubs are very fun, comforatble and make a big statement but I love that the Tee is more appropriate for every day use! The Tee is great for dads that will be attending the baby shower or are having their own shower.

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Lula Clips Review & GIVEAWAY!


" the solution for bothersome bucklesTM "
There is nothing more annoying than when you're trying to put baby in a car seat and you have to battle with the straps constantly falling in your way.
Lula Clips is the answer!

Lula Clips are "an extra set of hands" when you need them the most! They securely clip in the car seat and the strong magnet holds the harness out of the way when you are trying to load baby into the seat!
I was very impressed with these "extra hands." I was thinking at first that there was no way that these little clips would be able to really keep the harness up and out of my way. I soon figured out that they did the job and did it very well!
(without Lula Clips)
(With Lula Clips!)
The Lula Clips can be used on any car seat and can be placed anywhere on the car seat that is needed to keep those annoying straps out of the way. The Lula Clip is secured with a safety pin type device that has a child safety feature. They can easily be adjusted by adults if need be but would be very hard for a child to remove. The clips are made of Polpropylene plastic and contains no phthalates or BPA. The magnet is very strong and holds the straps well while getting baby into the car seat.  After settling baby into the seat the straps can be pulled away from the magnet and are used as usual.
The Lula Clips can easily be removed and moved to another car seat or stroller (that has a metal part on the harness) or for when you need to wash the car seat liner. I would recommend getting a pair of Lula Clips for each seat because they are so handy and affordable!

I LOVE this product and plan on purchasing another set for our other car seat! The only thing that I would change about the product would be the color! I am not a huge fan on the bright orange color. I would prefer a more neutral color or a color that matched my car seat!

They can be purchased HERE for $14.99 a set!
I received no compensation for my review other than a free sample
of the product. All opinions expressed are my own!
 
Lula Clips is generously offering one set of clips for ONE lucky reader! To enter, follow the instructions in the rafflecopter below! GOOD LUCK!

Therapearl Neck Wrap Review!

I recently received the TheraPearl Neck Wrap for review. TheraPearl products were created by a doctor who wasn't satisfied with the old frozen pea therapy. It is a drug free way to reduce pain and inflammation. The Therapearl Neck Wrap is a  thin and light weight plastic that contains squishy blue beads that are fun to look at and really work for soothing sore and tired muscles. They use Pearl Technology which conveniently holds its temperature for the doctor recommended time of 20 minutes and conforms to your body even when frozen!

Upon receiving the Therapearl Neck Wrap, I popped it in the microwave as directed ( seconds!) and had awesome heat therapy. The Wrap is light weight and instantly soothed my achy neck muscles and relieved a lot of tension. I love wearing the neck wrap when I am working on the computer for long periods of time.  The best part is that the Therapearl Neck Wrap can be used over and over and can be used hot or cold. I think that the cold therapy will be lovely in the upcoming summer months for sore muscles and to help keep us cool when we are working outside! I also love how easy it is to clean the neck wrap.

For the cold therapy, the neck wrap only needs to be placed in the freezer for 2 hours prior to using.

The plastic covering that contains the "pearls" feels very thin. I believe that with misuse this covering could be easily penetrated (causing a big mess!) We have handled the product as directed and have absolutely no issues! The product should always be used as directed!

Product Specifications

Price: 29.99

Dimensions: 11.5 in x 13 in (29.2 cm x 33 cm)


Therapearl offers the perfect solution to relax stiff muscles and encourage blood flow and healing to targeted areas. They offer two great therapies in one product! I recommend this product to those who have achy areas that need some relaxation or people that currently use hot/cold therapy on a regular basis. The wrap is very convenient and easy to use. It works great in relieving sore and achy muscles!

Be sure to check out their other products as well! I think that the new Kid Pals are adorable!

Affresh Review & Giveaway

Since spring is officially here, it is time for
SPRING CLEANING!

I had heard of Affresh cleaning products but had never used them before so I was thrilled when Affresh agreed to send me samples to review! I received the Affresh Stainless Steel Wipes, Affresh washing machine cleaner and dishwasher cleaner.

I started with my dishwasher, There were orange spots on the bottom and side walls from food stains and tough hard water stains(which are near impossible to remove sometimes). I popped in an Affresh Dishwasher Tab in the detergent tray and turned on the dishwasher to its normal cycle. After the cycle had finished, I was impressed that the hard water spots were GONE! However, the orange spots remained. I took a towel and wiped these spots and with one quick swipe, they were gone! I only used one Affresh tab in the detergent tray. They suggest using one in the bottom of the dishwasher as well if there is quite a bit of buildup. My dishwasher also had a nice and clean smell when finished! These tabs make dishwasher cleaning a breeze!

Right now, Amazon.com has a six pack of the Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner on sale for $5.89 with free super saver shipping on a purchase of $25


The Affresh Washer Cleaner works very similar to the dishwasher cleaner. All you have to do is pop in a tab into the wash barrel and place your washer on a normal wash cycle with hot water. My washing machine has a "clean cycle" on the settings, so I just used this setting as recommended. There was a bit of residue on the side walls but after wiping them down(as directed!), my washing machine came out sparkly clean and also had a great smell. I actually felt like my clothes were getting cleaner after I used these to clean the machine. I absolutely hate using bleach to clean or do laundry. I seem to always leave bleach spots on someones clothing. I love that this product replaces having to use harsh bleach and works even better! They recommend using these about once a month.

Right now, Amazon.com has a three pack of the Affresh Washer Cleaner on sale for $8.99 with free super saver shipping on a purchase of $25

The Affresh Stainless Steel Wipes worked great as well! I was very excited when we purchased our new stainless appliances. A few weeks later I was regretting it because of how hard they can be to keep clean. They show smudgy fingerprints and require constant attention when it comes to cleaning. I've tried several spray cleaners and had yet been impressed by any of them (not to mention how costly some of the cleaners were!) The Affresh wipes have won me over. They are extremely easy to use and actually work. All you have to do is pull out a wipe from the canister, wipe down the stainless and your appliances look shiny and clean!
 Right now, Amazon.com  has the 35count of the Affresh Stainless Steel Wipes on sale for $6.49 with free super saver shipping on a purchase of $25

All I can say is "WOW" all of the Affresh products that were sent to me really do work and make cleaning an easy task. Also, these products are very affordable! These are products that I would buy again and recommend to anyone who wants cleaning products that work and make cleaning a breeze.

Belly Bumps & Babies Review and Giveaway Event: Emma-Jane Maternity/Nursing Bra Review!

Emma-Jane is the UK’s largest maker of maternity and nursing lingerie and accessories. Their main focus is on comfort, support and affordability. They provide simple, classic styles and practical solutions for pregnancy and motherhood. Emma-Jane is known for their maternity bras, nursing bras, knickers, tights, support belts, bra extenders, nightwear, swimwear, nursing tops and other accessories.
I was given the opportunity to review their Next Generation Maternity/ Nursing Bra (style 361). I believe that this is a must have bra for pregnancy and/or nursing. As soon as it arrived, I took it out of the package and fell in love with the soft stretchy material (90% Polyamide 10% Elastane). I couldn't wait to try it on.

The bra is seam free making it extra comfortable and discreet under clothing. I have had issues in the past with some bras riding up in the back if I adjusted the straps to give me the support I needed. This bra however did not do this. The back sits low and comfortable on my back and even with the straps adjusted, it does not ride up or cause any discomfort. The clasp in the back of the bra has 4 eyes to allow room for growth. If needed, you can order a bra extender as well! The clips on the front of the bra are easy to release for feedings and can be released with one hand. Only one cup comes down at a time when feeding which allows for the bra to continue to support the other side. When re-attaching these clasps, it clicks back into place allowing you to know that they are securely fastened. There is also a super soft under band across the bottom of the bra for added support and comfort.
The bra can be purchased in three different colors (black, skin & white)


"Besides being super comfortable, it gives value three ways: low price, can be used as a maternity or nursing bra, and the cup size adjusts as you grow – no need for multiple size bras"

I would recommend this bra to other moms who are pregnant and/or nursing. It is truly designed to adjust to everyone's individual breast size and will adjust along with daily changes in shape and size before and after feeds.

of the product. All opinions expressed are my own!

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Funky Baby Hats Review!

Funky Baby Hats
Funky baby Hats offers a WIDE variety of adorable custom made hats and accessories for babies, kids, teens and even adults! I was given the opportunity to review one of their most popular hats. I received the Sleepy Woodland Owl Hat in size 3-6months. I instantly fell in love with this hat upon arrival. The hat came in a small box and was carefully wrapped in pretty plastic and tissue paper. This was a great feature especially if one is wanting to send an item from Funky baby Hats as a gift. In the future, I plan on these hats as being a go-to for baby shower gifts. They are cute, whimsical, one of a kind and a gift that moms would be talking about for months or even longer after their baby shower!

Sleepy Woodland Owl Hat

The hat is hand made with incredibly soft brown yarn. The yarn has light and dark brown with little specs of gold as well. I cannot wait to get professional photos taken of our little guy in this adorable hat. Not only does it make a great neutral photo prop but it is great for everyday use. It is cute, comfortable, warm, affordable and is made to last. This hat can be ordered in size Newborn-Adult. It can be hand washed and placed flat to dry!

The Owner of Funky baby Hats is Cara. She began crocheting as a child and later in life designed these adorable hand made hats for her four children. She had many requests to purchase these hats and decided to create the company Funky baby Hats. Cara provides excellent customer service and has been great to work with!



The hats and accessories offered by Funky baby Hats are truly one of a kind and worth every penny! You can order something for the whole family as well! These are not hats that you will be able to find at big chain stores like Walmart or Babies R Us. They have to be special ordered and Funky baby Hats is the place to get them.

Right now, you can use the code FACEBOOK2012 for FREE shipping all month long. Head over to Funky Baby Hats on Facebook now and show them some love!

Belly Bump's & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Undercover Mama Review & GIVEAWAY!

I began searching for nursing tops, tanks and bras and came across the lovely Undercover Mama. Undercover Mama is the stylish and affordable alternative to an expensive nursing wardrobe. Upon receiving the Undercover Mama, I instantly fell in love. It is very practical and extremely easy to use and oh so comfortable. It attaches to any nursing bra and allows you to nurse with added coverage. It is very similar to a nursing camisole except that it does not have the straps or the built in shelf bra.

The Undercover Mama attaches quickly and easily to all of my nursing bras. I found that with some bras I prefer the hook attachment, and with others the loop is more effective.  I love that the Undercover Mama offers these two options to ensure comfort and fit.


The Undercover Mama is soft and stretchy for coverage, support and durability and is made of 95% cotton and 5% Spandex. . The best thing about the Undercover Mama is that it can still be used as an undershirt after you are done nursing. It simply attaches to any bra! I am in between a small and a medium and I ordered the small. It fits perfect! The general suggestion is to go a size smaller than your regular shirt size for tight fit.

The Undercover Mama comes in a variety of different colors! I loved my Undercover Mama so much that I plan on ordering a few more in different colors for everyday use!
