As Seen on TV

To not hijack The Snuggie thread, we need one to discuss all the ridiculous stuff sold on tv.

While watching a DVRd episode of the new Rock of Love on a tour bus, I saw a commercial for Easy Curves. I would not look at it at work.

www.easycurves.com

It reminds me of junior high sleep overs and "I must, I must I must increase my bust"

Here's another favorite: Bumpits

http://www.bighappiehair.com/

I'd totally get one to give myself Big Love compound hair.

I really want the Strap Perfect Bra Clips: https://www.strapperfect.com/flare/next?tag=ED|SM|GO|GN I have so many shirts that I've had to go buy a new bra for, and they would only work with that one bra.

I've ordered some - I'll let you know how they work. It takes 2 - 6 weeks (wtf?) for delivery, and ordering them on phone is a PAIN. They keep asking you if you want some wedding white ones, or fashion colours, or who knows whatall. I got them, thinking I can take 3 (you only wear one bra at a time) and give the other 6 to my two daughters.

I'm tired of having to tug at a strap while lecturing.

I've found myself watching that commercial a few times. I'm interested to hear SWTXBelle's review.

I was seriously thinking about ordering this, but then I got to thinking about the wear on the bra...As expensive as bras are, it might just be better to keep my strapless handy

I'm getting them to keep my straps from slipping - I don't really have much in the way of fashion-forward tops which will require different strap configurations. But I'll report back on what my far cooler daughters think.

I had to look at that and then the website for a full minute before I realized it wasn't called Big Apple hair. I was trying to figure out what the hell hairstyle NYC was famous for.

The best "As Seen on TV" product is the Ped Egg!!! I LOVE this product. It really is nothing more than a micrograter like I have for the kitchen, but for people with lots of dead skin build up on their heels, this is a miracle! Beware...use the product on dry skin only (if you soak first, it won't work) and put a paper towel on the floor (you will make a mountain of dead skin and the contraption does NOT catch it all as the makers imply!)

There are "As Seen on TV" stores in malls; and I know CVS has some of the smaller items.

I totally want the Bumpits and Strap-perfect, but I definitely want Smooth Away.

When I was in MS/HS they sold something similar at like Walgreen & such, and it worked great. Maybe i'll wait to see if Walgreens gets it, cause they sell a lot of "As seen on TV" stuff (like the pedi-cure, the green bags, sham-wows, etc)

That's interesting. It's hard to believe that it really works. If it does, I'd be interested. Lol--stuff like this is made for people like us.

The ones I used to use (I can't even remember the name) did work very well. I don't know about the whole "it exfoliates your legs and leaves them smooth" but it got the hair off.

The only problem I had was the fact that I have REALLY dry legs, so the pads would wear out more quickly b/c of all the dry skin it had to slosh off (lol).

I have sensitive skin and tried to use something like this a while back. I had a rash for days. The thing I got was just a strip of really fine sandpaper.

Me too. The hair comes off, but it's because you SANDED IT AWAY.

Double post, but does anyone own the Sham-Wow (the towels that are supposed to be super absorbent). I keep seeing the commercial, and i'm curious to know if they are really that good.
