 EBPP Stop the Spray - Dog & Puppy Pee Marking Repellent - Pet Training Spray

I'll break this down by hitting the seller's accurate talking points.

1. Reliable Marking Control/Establish Clear Boundaries: The spray does deter them from returning to the same spot, but it doesn't dissuade them from piddling a foot away. Depending upon how determined your dog is, you may need to use more spray in a larger area.

2. Simple & Consistent Training — "The ease of use of this spray helps you address accidents quickly, maintaining a clean environment. With regular application of this pee spray for dogs training, pets can learn and adapt faster. This urine deterrent spray for dogs helps build a stronger bond as they thrive in a structured and supportive environment." — This is absolutely correct. The product requires consistency. It won't work well, otherwise.

3. Clean & Healthy Living Space — "Use on carpets, furniture, floors and pet bedding. This dog anti pee spray is safe for curious children, playful pets, or beloved houseplants." — I appreciate that it doesn't mar most furniture and floors. I did not try it out on antiques.

4.  For All Furry Friends — "This puppy pee spray helps speed up the potty training process and prevent repeat accidents. The dog pee training spray can help break the marking cycle for rescue dogs and aid in their adjustment to a new home. Help manage incidents in older dogs with age-related changes or health issues with this dog marking deterrent spray." — Not all dogs are the same or react the same way. This spray did not dissuade our 4lb geriatric girl from piddling. She no longer has any sense of smell or taste.

The scent isn't too unpleasant. It didn't leave any gunky film behind. It is easy to apply and washes off well. It works but reapplication is the key. It is best to buy more than 1 bottle.

I recommend this spray as part of your dog training toolbox.

Alright, deep breath here... This review is on the Dog Chew Toys for Aggressive Chewers All Breed Indestructible Rubber Squeaky Treat Stick Tough Interactive Toy Teeth Toothbrush for Small Medium Large Dogs Training Fetch US4Double Extra Large

Kidding aside, this toy has outlasted my aggressive chewers while still keeping them entertained. Keep in mind, no dogs are alike, so I do not know how well this particular toy will suit your furry companion.

I appreciate the rounded body. It's easier for my pack to roll it out from under a chair or table (or bush). It has a decent weight although it isn't a "bouncer". It takes a bit of pressure to make it squeak. That adds to the entertainment value, as each of our dogs work at making noise come out of it.

The other qualities are nicely described by the seller.

I highly recommend this dog toy!

AMAZON: AUDREE Christmas Cards With Envelopes & Matching Stickers (20 Pack 4"x6")

 AUDREE Christmas Cards With Envelopes & Matching Stickers

---

I have never encountered a quality card set this beautiful for under $30. I recommend buying it before they are all gone!

The set arrives in a matching carton. The cards are neatly stacked, two sets of ten, and bound with a ribbon. The envelopes are likewise held with ribbon.The envelope stickers perfectly match the designs on each card.

As the seller states, these cards have "simple yet elegant rustic designs that capture the essence of Christmas." I agree. The attention to detail impresses me.

I appreciate the premium cardstock. Again, the seller nails the description, "[Our] cards are thick and exceptionally durable, with a smooth mate-coated exterior and a smooth interior perfect for all types of writing and drawing tools. The anti-slip finish ensures ease of use, allowing you to create beautiful, personalized messages with ease and precision."

Each card carries a brief message on the front, and a message inside.

Caveat: These cards are secular. You won't find any with Christian sentiment. (I have a different set for my religious family members.)

Product details
Fabric type: Shell: 100% Cotton [knit] Flannel; Lining: 100% Polyester Soft Sherpa Lining
Care instructions: Machine Wash
Origin: Imported
Size XXL

PROS:
   •  The materials are soft and cozy.

  •  It comes in varied colors.

  •  This cozy jacket looks nice. I am impressed by the seams - flawless and will not easily unravel. The front zipper will not rip out anytime soon.

 

 

 

CONS:
    •   I ordered 2X but it fit me like a tighter 1X or L, leaving no room for layering under this garment. The bottom material rests around mid--butt level.

    •  The seller's product description is comprised of fabric type, care ("machine wash"), and origin. The seller's "about this item" section has wording meant for search engines.

    •  This garment does not bear any brand labels.

 

Is the garment worth the current $35 price? I think so, if purchasing one or two sizes above your own.

AMAZON: Eytino Half Zipper Sweatshirts for Women

 

The Eytino sweatshirt is perfect for Autumn walks, but it works nicely for casual day at the office to going out with friends as well. The zipper and hood give some extra warmth. 

My final rating for this garment is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

---

I enjoyed wearing it this morning on a short walk with my dog. It's cozy, has decent elasticity, looks sharp, and is very breathable. My only complaint is the inside. It is not lined with anything. I understand the lack of softer material, however. 

 

 I do not know why these pics came out black & white

 

The sweatshirt's design and clean seams make it perfect for a casual day. It looks as good with sweatpants as it does with jeans and some jewelry. The stitching is fabulous! This shirt is meant to last.

The seller's description is honest and accurate. They offer other color choices for you.

I recommend this sweatshirt. It's money well spent on a very nice product.

AMAZON: Snuggle Sac Fall Throw Blanket

I love throw blankets. I have all sorts, all materials possible, and sizes from a lap piece to something fit for a queen sized bed. I have never had a throw blanket quite like this. I was skeptical about the seller's description. Now that I have this throw in my hands, I can vouch that this blanket goes above and beyond their written representation.

This pumpkin theme, orange and white blanket is knitted* with luxurious microfiber fabric. The colored threads are neatly woven rather than printed. It is reversible, with white pumpkins in an orange field. The total size is 50"x 60".

I appreciate its breathability and softness. It has a decent weight and doesn't smother. It's not meant for rugged outdoor activity, however.

The throw arrives in a vacuum sealed pouch, complete with that vacuum sealed stink. You should put it through the wash before using it. "It’s safe to wash in a machine with cold water and a gentle cycle. To dry, you can use a mild circulation and no heat tumble dryer." 

I highly recommend this throw blanket. I plan to purchase a second one for my spouse. It is the perfect throw blanket for a chilly Autumn evening

 

________

*As with any woven or knitted product, your furry companion can get its nails trapped within the threads. The smaller the dog, the easier the nails can snag. This holds true for cats, birds, and rodents. Please supervise your pet when you use the blanket (or any knitted thing, really).
   

Amazon: Performance Hand Cover Sleeve

This Review is for the "UPF 50+ Performance Hand Cover Sleeve-Sun Protective Compression Arm Sleeves-Tattoo Cover Up-Cooling Elbow Sleeve" offered by Tophand Innovation. This review comes a bit late. That doesn't detract from this excellent product and its seller. Long-term COVID is evil.

---

 

 

Tattoos, mainly sleeves on the lower arm, have become trendy. They can also become a deterrent between you and the job you want. Many employers see the employee as a "face" for their business. Tattoos on the restaurant server, flight attendant, medical professional, etc is often disparaged. It's unfair, but that's life. You can continue to seek work, or you can be proactively discreet. That's where cover sleeves come into play.

This particular brand does an excellent job when it comes to coverage, comfort, and durability. The seller does specify that these are for women, but men might be able to wear them depending on the size of their arm. Also, depending on your arm size and shape, you may be able to reverse top and bottom, giving a clean edge to your wrist.

This tote is exactly as described by the seller. The quality is impressive. The design itself can suit many needs. Although mine is currently a dog tote, it can also work when I want to take my knitting with me, or bring along some books. How about adding food and a bottle of wine for a romantic picnic?

AMAZON: "No Trespassing - Dog On Premises" Sign

This Review is for the GicnKeuz No Trespassing Dog On Premises Sign available on Amazon

 

 An excellent quality product offered by a fantastic seller.

---

I was not expecting these “Dog On Premises" signs to look so good. The product description on the seller's page is very detailed and absolutely accurate.

 PROS:

• The aluminum won't warp easily, nor bend or snap. The back of the sign won't rust, and not just because it lies perfectly flat on surfaces.
  
• The design is as crisp as seen in the seller's pictures. I appreciate the reflective surface.
  
• It installs quickly, but...
  

POTENTIAL CONS: 

• These signs do not come with screws for a solid fence or zip-ties for a chain link fence. This doesn't detract from the product.
  

 

This is an excellent quality product. I highly recommend the product and the seller.

AMAZON: Pecute Dog Seat for Car, Truck, SUV

This review is for the "Pecute Dog Car Seat, Small Dog Car Seat, Front Pet Car Seat with Clip-On Seat Belt, Nonskid Bottom, Washable Detachable Dog Bed for Car Truck SUV, Pup" Sold by: Pet Cool

 

 

---

This product is: "Pecute Dog Car Seat, Small Dog Car Seat, Front Pet Car Seat with Clip-On Seat Belt, Nonskid Bottom, Washable Detachable Dog Bed for Car Truck SUV, Puppy Car Seat Travel Carrier for Small Medium Dogs".Let's break down each "feature" highlighted by the seller:

【 EXTRA SOFT & SOOTHING SUPPORT 】

• This product is somewhat soft. 
• The high-elastic PP cotton material is thin. Yes, it is a nice nest, but it won't last long if your dog has long nails.
  

【 MULTI-PURPOSE 】

• "The raised cushion design allows dogs to see the beautiful scenery outside the car." The cushion doesn't have enough filling material the elevate that high.
  
• "In addition, it is designed with portable handles, making it convenient to carry pets out." The straps to hold the bed to a seat became a trip hazard while walking out to the car. I'm glad I wasn't carrying a dog.
  
• "It is also a good choice to use as a pet bed at home." Straps. STRAPS! Total trip hazard.
  
• "Additionally, our dog seats are foldable for quick deployment and storage." I somewhat agree.
  

 

 

【  SAFE TRAVEL 】

• "Our dog seat for car has high-quality and tough seat belts and buckles, so that it will not easily tear during safe driving, and the bottom has an anti-slip design to keep your pet safe while traveling." It will tear if your vehicle is impacted. Please, if you love your pet, get a sturdy, reinforced seat that actually serves to protect, even in the event your front passenger airbag is deployed.
  
• The "anti-slip" feature is incorrect. 
• The clasp that serves as a canine seat belt is the same thin material as the other straps. NO WARNING is given about using the belt strap. Please don't attach this thin to your pet's collar. In the event of an accident, the force of impact can propel your dog forward from a bed and snap its neck. Likewise, if you use this bed as a tote, your dog can harm itself by jumping out. ALWAYS USE A HARNESS TO TETHER YOUR DOG. A proper one can save your pet's life.
  

【 EASY TO CLEAN & ALL-AROUND PROTECTION 】

• This seat does not protect your doors from scratches. 
• There isn't any extended back seat protection. 
• "Unlike other front pet car seats, our extended backseat protection cover provides all-around protection for car seats, protecting the front seats from stains, scratches, and fur damage." NOPE.
•  "With a detachable design, the liner is placed in a detachable bag and can be machine-washed, making cleaning and care a breeze." 

【 QUICK AND EASY ASSEMBLY 】

"The simple installation method allows you to complete it easily without spending too much time. It is very suitable for use in the car in all seasons or as a travel bed. Simply install the adjustable buckle on your car seat's headrest and adjust, then adjust the strap to fit your car and you're done." 

I was a merchandiser longer than I care to admit. I was part of reset crews. I have assembled many things. I've dealt with defective products. THIS dog bed - this thing from Hell's abyss - is the worst thing I have ever encountered. It did NOT come with a manual/directions. The site shows how to apply belts but I had to hunt the other info down. Scroll. Scroll.

You will need to insert the foam before it springs back from being vacuum-packed. Insert one piece at a time, starting where the zipper begins. Zip up as you go along. It doesn't take long for that foam to stretch back into shape. You may have to fiddle with it. Let's say that the front part needs adjustment. You have to unzip from the side to reach that middle bit of foam. Now you have to fight the side foam in order to zip it back up.

 

CONCLUSION:

I can not recommend this product for use in a vehicle. There are far better (and safer) travel beds that are slightly more expensive but they are better quality and safer.

Agree to Disagree

We all have different tastes. Hopefully this review collection will demonstrate just how different or similar our tastes can be.

AMAZON: Eytino Plus Size Sweatshirt for Women

This Review is for the Eytino Plus Size Sweatshirt for Women  available on Amazon

 

This is a very nice sweater so let's break down the advertisement:


OVERVIEW

• This garment arrived promptly. The packaging was shrink-wrapped, a nice touch for avoiding wrinkles. 
• It did not have a plastic smell to it.Every seam is perfectly surged. I can not find a defect in any seam. The seller's description of this garment is accurate. The garment is incredibly soft, including the ribbing.There are a good range of colors.There are a good range of plus sizes.
• One of the things not talked about is the sweater's ability to flatter your body. I've had two people that complimented it and asked where to buy it.

TESTS:
The garment does not go in the dryer, according to the care tag. I didn't test this; I love the garment!

CONS:
This garment is also offered by Olivia Mark. It is possible that Eytino removed the brand labels from the garment and edited the photos to remove the watermark. Eytino might be a genuine distributor. This is simple speculation on my part. I've brought it to the attention on Amazon


FINAL ASSESSMENT: My review covers just the garment and not the seller. This sweater is fantastic.

AMAZON: Global Printed Products' beautiful hardcover Academic Year 2024-2025 Planner

 

Today, we're looking at Global Printed Products' beautiful hardcover Academic Year 2024-2025 Planner. I've purchased from the seller before. Check out their store here on Amazon. It is incredible!

 

But we're not here to review the company. Our focus is on this planner and whether or not it meets your needs.

 Product & Feature Summary

 ■  The seller's description is actually what you get when you order it. "14 Month Planner (June 2024 through July 2025) w/ MONTHLY TABS.Size: 5.5" x 8". 2 Page Monthly Spreads followed by 2 Page Weekly Spreads, EXTRA STRONG HARDCOVER & POCKET FOLDER on back inside cover. **BONUS** Matching Bookmark/Page-Finder and **BONUS** Sticky Note Set"

■  Don't let the word "Academic" turn you off. I use the planner like a hub, and so should you! It makes your life easy. Everyone in your house writes their appointments, sports games, etc in it. Everyone refers to it before scheduling things. Keep it in a central location in your house. Make sure people add other people's events to their phone.

■  The "bonus" items are exactly as the seller describes them, BUT... 

     1) The bookmark does not have holes to keep it secure in the book. Instead, it has cardboard tabs that will eventually wear down.

     2) Some of the sticky notes did not impress me. I used the arrow stickers but they fell off rather that stick to pages. 

■  This planner runs from June 2024 to July 2025.

■  There are several designs to choose from.

 

Conclusion

BUY THIS! It is as beautiful as it is functional. It helps make your daily life easier. It is a perfect gift.

AMAZON: Solar Dog Art Statue for Garden Decoration

 This review is for the Dog Solar Art Statue for Garden Decoration.

 

 I squealed in joy the moment I took this item from its packaging. I even did a tiny, tip-toe dance. Bliss!

Let's delve into the review...

This product is offered by Acgarten. It is described as "Solar Art Statue for Garden Decoration: Outdoor Sculpture for Home House Yard Lawn Balcony Patio – Unique Housewarming Gift for Mom Women Grandma Lover [Solar Dog]"

Acgarten offers many garden goodies. I was confident my item would arrive in good condition and in working order.

The piece arrives in Styrofoam cut to cushion its proportions. The box it comes in has two sides that reflect the ability to use this time during the day and during the night.

It's intended for indoor and outdoor use. Small pads on the bottom prevent tabletop scratches. The resin can withstand the test of time, however, most resin products left outdoors will eventually chip or crack.

I was not expecting this piece's size and detail. The dog's face is so beautiful. I also was not expecting the cute butterfly on the dog's tail to light up so clearly. It casts a lovely glow to the dog's side and face. The dog itself is pleasant to look at.  (My solar dog keeps guard on our dining room table, currently.) 

I can't find any cons for this item review. The item looks great, functions well, and should be in your shopping basket by now! Go ahead, put two in.

AMAZON: NEWITIN 12 Pairs Stainless Steel Stud Earrings

 This review is for NEWITIN 12 Pairs Stainless Steel Stud Earrings available on Amazon.

 

My role is not to placate sellers. The Vine program helps generate quality reviews for products so customers like you can make informed purchasing decisions. This review is a departure from my normal format. 

Most product headlines contain exactly what the seller wants to convey to us. It is what shoppers see when scrolling for stuff. Something simple, like "Absolute Beginner Crochet Kit for Adults - Learn to Crochet with Expert Video Tutorials - includes All Essentials for Two Coasters - Perfect DIY Gift" tells us what we need to know. We visit the page to get more information, and we might read reviews about it.

NEWITIN's word-salad heading is horrid: "NEWITIN 12 Pairs Stainless Steel Stud Earrings for Men Hypoallergenic Earrings Inlaid Cubic Zirconia Men Earrings Hoop Earrings Stud Earrings for Women Men".

■  Are these for Men or Women Men?

■ Inlaid Cubic Zirconia? Hoops? These are globe studs. They do not contain Cubic Zirconia.
■  They state in the description that "Titanium steel material is not easy to break, tarnish, corrode or rust." Titanium Steel is not Titanium, however. It's easy to get confused. Titanium Steel is a term for Stainless Steel, mainly used on imported direct and drop-shipped products from China. These are not titanium earrings.

■  "Unisex design: The stainless steel earring is simply designed, including long bar pendant, star pendant, cross pendant cut-out leaf pendant, long chain pendant and etc. Suitable for both men and women to wear. Our earrings are fashion and exquisite, which can win more compliments. Beautiful, fashionable and retro." What on earth? What do pendants have to do with ball earrings?

Under the product specifications, we find a few phrases. One of them is: "Note: Don‘t touch water or sweat,use a soft cloth to gently scrub.If the gloss is dark,you can wipe it with toothpaste and it will be bright". Don't sweat?

 

I don't appreciate low-quality digitally manipulated images. This ad is rife with them. I'm bouncing one of their own ad back at them. The picture's light source cast shadows in one direction. The copy-paste earrings have a different light source and the shadows cast in the opposite direction.

 

Are there any Pros to this product?

Yes.

■  The cost is very low. (You get what you pay for, people.)

■  The size variety works for those of us with multiple holes in our ears. We can taper from small to large using the matched sets sold here.

■  The packaging is nice, with each set coming in an easy to open plastic baggie. These can reseal. All of those bags can fit into a larger bag, and that bag fits into a small box that arrives in a larger envelope.

■  The earrings are light and are comfortable to wear.

Am I saying you should avoid them? Yes, and no. Better product is out there, but usually at a higher price. These cheap earrings are good for a little whimsy. Don't leave them in 24/7. Also, I can't trust a seller that can't describe their product correctly.

AMAZON: 4-in-1 Function Key Chain

 This Review is for the 4-in-1 Function Keychain available on Amazon

 

This is the "4-in-1 Function Keychain - or, as the seller names it, "4-in-1 Function Wristlet, Zinc Alloy Keyring, Mens Keychain, Key Chains Women Cute, Car Key Chain, Anti-scratch, No Paint Removal, Efficient Key Management", offered by XLONYJT.

My key chain arrived promptly. I like the sleek zinc alloy design. It's billed as a 4-in-1 keychain, a multi-functional item: key management,  portable bottle opener, and cell phone holder, fingertip gyroscope. No mention of the small "knife" they billed as a box cutter.

PROS:

■   I love the spinner.

CONS:

■  The knife is meh. I've seen better.
■  The portable bottle opener doesn't work well. It slips and requires a lot of exertion.
■  The cell phone holder does not work with my Speck phone case.
■  The keyrings are beautiful, and function well for most keys. However, I have two vehicles with bulky fobs. I had to leave the old rings on them keep it from being crowded. I then have no space for regular keys. They could have planned this better, given that newer cars are starting to come out with clunky key-less start fobs.
■  The spinner is no longer a spinner when used as a carabiner.  

The cons I list are from my own experience with the product, thus the low rating. I've seen some positive reviews for it, and I'm glad this item suits their needs. XLONYJT has many beautiful and functional items. Don't let my experience dissuade you from buying other things offered by this seller.

AMAZON: Kevskq 9 Pocket Waterproof Trading Card Collector Binder

 This Review is for the Kevskq 9 Pocket Waterproof Trading Card Binder available on Amazon

This is a nice three-ring, collectable card binder that closes via a zipper. The product description on the seller's page is very detailed. I'll focus on incorrect information, instead.

• Big Capacity: "So you can store your various cards up to 900 sheets". This is a misprint. The sheets that come with it can hold 900 cards.
• Unique design: "Each page can be removed or added by adjusting the 3 inner rings." This is a three ring binder. I do not see anything that allows you to adjust the rings. They open;they close. 

 

EDIT: The rings' pictures are captioned s as "Ours: Sturdy and not easy to fall off" and "Others: Firmless". My binder contains the "firmless" ones, as do other pictures in the ad.

 

Mine

 

 PROS:

• The binder cover has a leather feel to it. Water will not seep in via the front or back covers. The zipper is cloth and doesn't repel The stitches are even and strong, especially the interior stitches.
• The internal front and back covers have a soft lining.
• The top-loaded card slots make it easy to retrieve a card. The sheets' tabs are quite strong and well made. The material is perfectly clear.
• This binder is very good for valuable sports or game card collections.

 

CONS: 

• The zipper is cloth and doesn't repel water.
• My product arrived with only 48 sheets. Count yours upon product arrival.
• The cart slots are "sorta loose", according to our expert. There is a possibility that cards may fall out over time, especially if they are removed frequently.
• I have edited my review to reflect 
  

 

This binder is affordable and good for storing valuable cards. Use card boxes for all the ones you rummage through to build your deck. Keep your decks in deck boxes.

AMAZON: BuyUp Multifunctional Stud Finder Model: TH370

 This review is for the BuyUp Multifunctional Stud Finder (Model: TH370) available on Amazon.

Homeowners should never put a nail or drill through a wall without knowing what's on the other side. Ideally, you should find the stud and make certain you're not tapping into an electrical wire. You do not have to purchase something expensive or anything contractor-grade. The BuyUp Stud Finder/Wall Scanner should work well for you.

Studs are boards that function as framing elements in your home, supporting the walls. They work well for anything that might be too heavy for drywall or plasterboard alone. A stud finder works by detecting differences in electrical properties or the density within the wall. Let's take a look at BuyUp's product.

MODES
Mode buttons make scanning easy.

• 1/2" stud scan mode detects wood or metal studs up to 13mm deep
• 1" stud scan mode detects wood or meal studs up to 25mm deep
• 1 1/2" stud scan more detects wood or metal studs up to 38mm deep
• Metal Mode detects metal up to 80mm for magnetic (60mm for non-magnetic) deep
  
• AC Mode detects live, unshielded AC wires up to 51m deep [I did not test this mode]

OTHER FEATURES
The metal depth indicator works well, and I appreciate the green backlighting and buzzer. It automatically shuts down after 3 minutes, and it runs on 2 AAA batteries (included). You can use this device with either hand; it has a rubbery grip.  It comes with detailed instructions. No assembly required.

TESTS:
I dropped this thing down a half-flight of stairs, and it landed on a hard floor. It still works and shows no damage. I tested all modes except the AC Mode. It is a very accurate tool.

CONS:
I wish that it came with case of some sort. It doesn't take much pressure to turn the device on or off.  

FINAL ASSESSMENT: The BuyUp Multifunctional Stud Finder is perfect for home projects at a price that won't hurt your budget.

The product description is spot on:

 The only fault I have is the reduced performance when using adapters.

We all have different tastes. Hopefully this review collection will demonstrate just how different or similar our tastes can be.

It is almost certain that there's something you like about a product... and something you don’t like about my opinion of it. If that's the case, that's great!

As always, I’m offering my silly opinion. I’d love to read your own in the comment section.

Please contact me if I have left anything out or if something isn't clear. Most of all... I appreciate it when you find typos or correct my grammar. I make mistakes. Hey, my side kick is an opossum. She romps in packing peanuts and shreds product directions. It's absolutely distracting.

AMAZON: Crowye Sweatbands/Sports Headbands (Bulk/60 Pcs)

This review is for the 60-count pack of Crowye rose red sweat headbands. Only two bands were used for this review.

The product arrived in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag; each band was also individually wrapped in plastic. Unlike some manufacturer's products, the bands did not have a rubbery scent once exposed to air. 

The product description is spot on: "Our terry cloth headbands are made of quality cotton, polyester fiber and spandex, soft and skin friendly, highly breathable, will not cause itching or irritation on the skin [...] non slip and lightweight, theses athletic sweatbands will not add other burden to your head".

This band is a simple tube held together by good seams. I opened one to take a look inside. Well made!

I washed the second test band. It rinsed clean and did not carry the odor from the soap. It dried quickly. It retained its color.

I wore a band intermittently over a 12-hour period. I did not have any rash or blisters with this product. It was soft and very comfortable, and worked well under a ball cap while gardening! It really does a good job at wicking away moisture. I used it to keep my hair back while washing my face. Damp band? Hang it up to dry - it won't lose its spring.

The band will stretch to accommodate the size of most people's heads. 

I found only two faults: 

1) The advertisement states that the bands will work for children, but I do not recommend that your child use it while unsupervised by an adult.

2) The edges of the band I cut open are now fraying a bit, leaving tiny pink dots everywhere. Will long-term wear and tear

Buy this product with confidence. It's money well-spent. I haven't much use for these, so I am going to donate them to the breast cancer awareness walk this Autumn.

My Harlequin Pinscher snagged a band and whipped the hell outta it - it did not rip or fray. I added another star to my Durability rating.

 DO NOT give these to your dogs as toys. Ingesting them can do serious intestinal harm to your pet.

AMAZON: Evelots 24 Pack Mandala Magazine File Holder with Labels

These organizers are delightful. The black and white mandala pattern cover both the front and back of each box, as well as both sides. They come with labels but I haven't used them.

These easy-to-assemble organizers didn't just banish my desk clutter - they de-cluttered nine tall bookshelves in my office. Yep, I'm going to order more of them today.

They are advertised as "constructed with heavy-duty, coated cardboard", and they proved strong enough to keep my heavy files upright. I don't see any stress at the seams.

There are a few cons. These are made of paper and won't last as long as a plastic file holder. I'm guessing that they'll smudge if handled a lot. Only time will tell.

I highly recommend this product.
