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 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'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.

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.
