We love to see the honesty!!! So sick of seeing the same stuff promoted and never trullllly knowing if it’s good or not. I’ve always loved this about you!
@@groomergrl75 there’s a difference between someone promoting something that is actually worth the money… and people who are constantly promoting shitty products just to make money. I’ve always been able to trust Brittany’s suggestions. Have a wonderful rest of your night 😉
What an embarrassing loss for natural cycles 😳, there is no excuse for poor customer service in this day and age. Thanks again Brittany for another good video!
I fell for that Nutrofol and choked down those 4 horse capsules for over a year. Nothing. They are getting rich on all the suckers falling for the influencers promoting it. Ridiculous price! Bravo for you standing up!
I totally agree with this - I bought the liquid and the tablets both cost a fortune and used for months - if anything more of my hair fell out. So disappointed!
I full on cringed in empathy at Brittany’s story about the period pants. Brings back all those adolescent memories of period stains on pants and trying to hide it.
I love it when you expose lousy products. You do it tastefully and with integrity behind your honest opinions. We all have opinions and we're all entitled to them whether others agree with them or not. We all know this, everyone knows this. Who cares what the "offended parties" think in the long run. Please don't shy away from expressing your honest opinions from honest experiences. These are just as important as your positive ones. In my opinion. :) Great job, Brittany. Please do more of these as you experience them. They are always welcome in my book! Thank you!!
So pleased to see all the positive comments you are getting for this video. You are one of the few reviewers I trust 100%. Always. And as someone else noted, you look happy and healthy and we all want only the best for you!
Agree. I have purchased so many of Brittany's recommendations over the years and still use to this day. I really appreciated this video...we need more like this 💜💙💚💛🧡
I have been using Frownies for nearly a year. I LOVE them! I am very sensitive to smells and have never noticed an odor. I do wonder if it’s possible, if purchased from Amazon, if they were not truly from Frownies. Many months ago, they shared on Socials that there were fake Frownies being sold on Amazon. The packaging looked very believable. Just a thought. I only buy mine directly from their website.
videos like these are SO important bc it shows that you are honest enough to not tout products just bc they want to pay you!! that's why you're one of the few i really trust w recommended products! love the brutal honesty!
Another perspective - I am more likely to trust and buy from someone I know is giving an honest review. If I want to hear only positive things, there are paid biased commercials for that. It is okay to give an HONEST experience and we all need to realize that if we love something and someone else doesn’t that is ok. As a consumer I want to hear the positive and negative experiences others have to make a more informed decided before buying. It doesn’t mean a person is trashing a brand. So please don’t feel bad for sharing these Brittany. It is refreshing to hear what didn’t work out. Also - I have definitely had my own awful experience with period panties 😂😭
I think this should be a recurring series! I DESPISE companies like that Natural Cycle (I already forgot--was that their name?) and their scammy subscriptions. Love that you're calling them out, Brittany! 💛💛💛
BECAUSE you are so positive so often, I will take these rejects very seriously, because it is so unlike you to say anything less than positive about something. Thank you so much for bringing these products to our attention.
I will have to show my daughter this video! She loves Nike running shoes, recently she ordered AF1’s and she found the exact same issues! It felt like there were small pebbles inside her shoe and the tongue also hurt her foot! The pebble feeling was only on one shoe! She loved the shoes so much and really wanted them so she returned them and ordered another pair! To make a long story short, she repeated this process 4 times and finally found a pair that didn’t feel like she was walking on rocks! She puts a small piece of foam under the tongue to lift it up a bit so it doesn’t rub and hurt the top of her foot! Nike quality control seems a little off especially for the ridiculous price you pay for these shoes!
I LOVE truth and honesty on TH-cam and ESPECIALLY trust Brittany. Because so often TOO many “influencers” on here will only tell you things they love and it gets truly dull and honestly leads me to feel very suspicious when their won’t be any honest feedback on brands. Thank you so so much Brittany!!
This is exactly why your subs love you because you tell the truth and all your recommendations are legit. If you say it’s good, then I know it’s good. You love you Brittany!
Ah I love frownies 😄 they work like magic on my 11’s between the eyes. If you leave the pads to dry tacky for about 30 sec and then the smell isn‘t there anymore for me when they are applied.
This was a new style for you and I love it!! I am so here for it!! I absolutely love all the product recommendations and reviews you do as well, but this was a really nice change. It is super good to know about certain products that I shouldn't waste my money on. Especially when clever advertising gets us all 😭 Love you Brittany!! ❤
Yes we love a spicy and honest Brittany because I take your reviews seriously. The worst product I’ve purchased this year was definitely the caraway cookware and storage containers, a huge waste of $630. The “nonstick” claim is bogus because my “nonstick” coating went away after 3 months of use, the outside paint is chipping and honestly they’re not worth the price. The storage containers lids warped after one wash in the dishwasher so now they don’t seal properly. They’re beautiful sets, very aesthetically pleasing but not worth the money I spent on them. And yes, I did read the directions on how to use them.
I’m really loving the Carote Brand of pots and pans but not everyone does and I think the difference is I hand wash my pots and pans and towel dry them and put them away. If I stack any and I do I do put a few paper towels between the bottom/top of those stacked packed to keep things from getting scratched. That’s just my experience with Carote and Our Place as well. They have held like the day I opened the boxes.
@@angithomas1711 I’ll look into that brand. I always hand wash and dry and don’t stack my pots and pans regardless of the brand but Caraway is just so overpriced and overhyped.
They do look beautiful, and I've been tempted. I'm so glad to know that I can cross them off my wish list and that there are better options out there. Thanks, everyone!
Loved this video! It’s so important to expose horrible customer service so the rest of us will know what we would be dealing with if we bought their product!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Brittany. It is so refreshing to be able to trust someone and your honesty is so wonderful. I watch you always and keep learning new things. You go girl. Have a wonderful Holiday, even though I know it will not be what you're used to. If anyone can do this, you can, and remember your followers love you and will be there with you.
Thank you Brittney! ❤ So sorry you had an embarrassing mishap! I was mortified listening! 😱😢Then the burning omg every women’s worst nightmare. Thanks for the heads up! I have an extreme allergic reaction to Tampax brand. It’s Kotex for me. Haven’t dared to try the organic brands however I did try the Always bleach and chemical free ones & the Seventh Generation liners at Target and those 3 were great for me if anyone out there is very “sensitive” .
Thank you for your honesty and that you mention the prices. Some You Tubers don't seem to care about spending other folks money to recommend products but your honest opinions will SAVE us money. I appreciate your honesty and not "pushing" products.
I was burned by those collapsible silicone colanders. I got a two pack and they were awful. They don’t fully strain the food and every time I used them my plate had a puddle in the bottom of it when I finished eating. That said, I mentioned that in my review and they issued a full refund. 👌🏻👌🏻 Loved this video!!!!!
I like this new side of Brittany that we get to see! It made me laugh so much. Especially with the frownies. I love my frownies and they work so well but I noticed the same thing!!! Lmao! I use a rose water to get them wet and it helps so much with the smell! I think you should do more like this. Especially bc you have a great story with each one!
So good to know about the period panties. I wanted to try them... Not now. Ha ha. The worst product I bought was the LG A9 ultimate vacuum. The vacuum itself was fine for a stick vacuum. Comparable to Dyson even. but when the connection snapped on the stick part I contacted customer support. Worst customer support experience of my life. They gave me the run around every time. Even hung up on me when I called. I fought for almost a year to get them to replace the part that was broken. The kept trying to charge me when it was under warranty. Sent me the wrong piece once. Made me fill out the forms over and over again because they kept losing my claim. Then my year warranty was up and they wouldnt even talk to me any more. It broke 2 months after I bought it. So I caved and bought the part on eBay. It broke a few weeks later where the attachments wouldn't power up anymore when connected to the main body portion. Now it just makes noise and doesn't even suck. I cleaned out filters and everything regularly. I don't know it I just got a lemon of a vacuum or if the vacuum itself is horrible but jeez... LG customer support is the absolute worst out there for a big brand. Sorry for the long rant. It was a scarring experience for sure.
This video was un-hinged and I'm here for it lol. I use a few of these products with no issues lol, but everyone has different experiences. 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 ya Britt!
We humans are all different and thank goodness for that. I’m here to loudly defend Frownies. I’ve used them for 20 months and I’m here to tell you that they work! When she mentioned the horrible smell I did a double take. I have a very sensitive nose and I had to go get some from my bathroom and smell them. Nothing offensive to me. Nothing. That’s where Brittany and I differ. And besides that, she has such beautiful young skin that she doesn’t need Frownies. I need them. They work. Period. Again, remember that we are each unique. Brittany doesn’t like them. I do. You decide for yourself.
I love my Frownies too but for me, the smell is just awful. I have never got over it after all this time but I am a sensitive to smell type of person. I buy them directly from the company, not from Amazon.
Thank God I went with Shea's recommendation on the bambody period underwear! I knew the knix was too good to be true. Never had a problem with the bambody period undies. I even bought more of them.
Embarrassing to hear about the customer service for Natural Cycles...AND the price?! I've been using it for 2 years and it's $89.99/year, so my eyes bugged out of my head when I heard $200 AND no refund. Sorry you had that experience. However, I will say Natural Cycles has been my BC since I got married and so far...no complaints and I LOVE knowing more about my body.
Thanks for such a helpful video! The product that is a big no for me is the Lumineux whitening teeth strips 👎 I know that the product works for you, but unfortunately it made my teeth more yellow 😬 I got mine professionally whitened yesterday, & now they're all good. However, all of the other products you recommend always work great for me 😊
Greetings from Canada, Brittany! Thanks so much for your genuine and honest reviews of products that you have tried and used. I especially enjoy watching those videos and have actually purchased some of the products you have recommended and have been impressed, for the most part. The review that really hit home for me in this video was the Oral B electric toothbrush. My husband and I have been diehard users of the Oral B brush for many years but I never thought to check the head for mold. So, I checked our brushes and, sure enough, the inside of my husband's brush head has black mold in it. Mine, however, doesn't and I would like to offer hope to the diehard Oral B users out there. I have been using this brush head for several weeks, now, so it is not a brand new one. The reason that my brush head doesn't have mold in it is because every time I brush, I rinse the inside of the brush head out and then I blow into the end to get all the water out. This dries it out and so must prevent the mold from growing. It also keeps the stand from getting gummed up. I hope that you and others find this helpful. Best wishes to you and your family this holiday season! 😃
Natural cycles takes a few months to accurately predict our cycles. The algorithm gets better at predicting with time. I’ve used it for a few months now and it’s pretty accurate for me.
Thank you for info on the period panties. I had considered getting them for my daughter, thinking they would be so much easier to use. I had no idea they are filled with forever chemicals 😳 You turned me on to Grove long ago and I love their cleaners - I have zero reaction to them. I totally trust your opinions and reviews. ❤️
The period company does not use PFAs and their period underwear are soooooo comfy and most of their underwear cost $9/pair which is a fraction of the cost of most other period underwear companies! I have so many pairs from them and from modibodi. Initially, I liked modibodi better for styles and the feel of them… until I experienced a leak from them and they ended up being way more high maintenance for cleaning, especially since I have to line dry them. The period co you just rinse, throw in the washer and then throw in the dryer.
I LOVED this video! I think that it's just as helpful to know which products might not be worth purchasing as it is to hear about great products. I often get more valuable information by reading the 1- and 2-star reviews on products than from the 4- and 5-star reviews. Sometimes hearing the downsides of a product allows you to make a decision much more easily than hearing what people liked about it. Especially when we're bombarded with so many products these days, it's nice to just be able to save ourselves some time and money and skip the ones that will probably disappoint us. I would definitely vote for more videos like this in the future!
Good to know on the Knix-Ive considered that brand. The honey pot pads-YES!!! The package said something about being soothing. It has freaking menthol in it! I was glad I was home. At first it was warm tingly and just felt weird. Then it was burning. I jumped in the shower to wash it off.
Appreciate the honest reviews! I can chime in a little on the Beis luggage. My carryon is about a year old, so far, so good. It has been gate checked, on a cruise, and flown a number of domestic flights with no issues.
I used Natural Cycles for YEARS for pregnancy prevention and it was AWESOME! It does take awhile for it to learn your body's cycle though so I waited like 3 months before relying on it, but never had any issues!
More videos like this please!! I love my Beis weekender bag but I never use the shoulder strap so I didn’t notice that. I only use it for short weekend trips, never actually flew with it. Love this video! I wish more people made would make real videos like this.
I have the beis diaper bag and it’s very nice. The strap is padded as well! I’ve tried so many and beis has the best diaper bag in my opinion 🙌🏼 (if anyone is wondering about the diaper bag)
Thank you for your honest reviews and I also bought nutrafol for hair growth and thought the same thing about taking 4 pills a day... ugh so annoying. Thanks!
Dearest Brittany, can you please do a review on pillows, I have neck issues and can never find a really good supportive pillow and there are soooo many out there!!! Love your reviews
i totally understand the need to people please!!!!! let me say 1, i’m proud of you for making AND posting this video! and 2, i love love love information like this!! Sometimes it’s the only “real” thing you can find on the internet. so i’m here for it and i hope you make more!
You should invest in a June cup. They’re similar to diva cup but way cheaper ! And they’re amazing!! I put it in on day 1 period and it can stay all day. I don’t ever have leaks either. Takes time to get use to but it’s so worth adjusting too. I was never a tampon girl but the cups aren’t like tampons. You literally don’t feel them. Great for pool days too and outdoor trips where there is no bathrooms - I do a lot of rock climbing and the spots I go are remote - so it’s nice to have the cups for those trips. I’ve never had to change one outside and don’t have to worry abt things when I have to use the bathroom outside 😅🥴 But yeah - ditch disposable and get one! I wish I had done it a decade ago
For me it was the nira laser. It made my under eyes so much worse! I did exactly what they said to do, and now I'm having to repair the damage on top of what I was trying to fix! 😢
I spent $200 + on a BÈIS diaper bag and thought OMG this is the diaper bag of ALL diaper bags… & boy do I regret it! I could have just used a cute back pack I ended up getting and itzy ritzy small diaper bag purse still pricey but I use it as a purse now but it actually just broke on the gold chain strap so thankfully my daughter is now 3 and might need a few pull ups that I can keep in the car for emergencies
I’m so thankful that you reviewed Nutrafol because I was considering it. Not any more! I’m struggling with thinning hair during menopause and I have NO idea what to do. I feel like my hair was always my shining glory, but not at all now. I’m really down about it. But thankful to you! Great post! ❤
I was interested in her comments on Nutrafol, and she said she cannot comment on if it works or not. I too am suffering from thinig hair and want to give it a try.
I can tell you that I have been using nutrafol for 6 months now for the same reason hair thinning , pre menopause related; and it’s been really good and I also color my hair. Also my dermatologist recommended it to me .
Sorry for the embarrassing moment. I do take off my Oral B toothbrush, rinse it out, and leave it to dry on paper towel. It is kind of a pain. I'm using caster oil to grow eyebrows and eyelashes, which is working. I am now sot of trying it on my hair, but not as often as I should
I love my period panties, but I've always used them as secondary. I use washable/reusable pads with them. I switched to reusable pads bc regular pads kept giving me rashes.
Love your honest reviews 🎉. I have tried frownes didn’t notice a strong or musty smell and I am sensitive to smells to me it only smells like the adhesive part on a mailing envelope however I went on to buy silicone patches and like them a lot
Girl, I have the Beis bag and hated it for the same reason! Get you one of those padded sleeves for seatbelts. Doesn’t make it perfect, but helps a lot!
The reason why I haven't had as much of a problem is I just use it like a tote on top of a small swivel wheel suitcase 😂 I won't usually use mine without it
The oral B io 9 is the perfection. After every use i detach the head and rinse it under the water from outside and inside also same for the body part of the toothbrush… then i put the head back on to the body but not all the was throigh just enough to put it to the holder that i attached to wall . My brush is super clean already have it for 1 yr since it came out and never experiwnced any mold. U dont need to clean it with a tool just 3 sec rinse and thats it and let it breathe dont put it to the box. No need to dry it :) and i love menstuation panties but since im from europe we have other brands and i was lucky finding the right ones at the first try :) also menstrual cup is awesome and really big helper especially in wellness where it prevents also if you are not on your period from getring the hot tub watwr inskde u and causing mycosis down there if someone is prone to it ;) little life hack
Love this! One of the worst products is the Mira fertility tracker 😠 it’s so pricey and does the same thing as OTC ovulation sticks. Actually it’s worse and less reliable.
I have almost all the beis luggage. I love the carry on! The checked bag is also good, but the weight indicator broke on me because security was too rough with it, so I wouldn't necessarily splurge on the checked bag. Both of my weekenders have padded straps.. not sure why yours didn't have it, but I wouldn't recommend the weekenders for personal items on planes. Best for road trips.
Great video!! Love the honesty!!!!! I do like frownies and I haven’t ever smelled any smell. I wonder if you got a bad batch? I can understand not wanting to try them again though lol Thanks for another great video!
Hi Brittany! In regards to the daily element supplements. It’s definitely expensive. I do know that Micro greens do contain very high nutrients compared to the actual veggie because it is all concentrated. Is the amount you are eating comparable to 7 cups of greens? I’m not too sure lol, but definitely expensive. But eat your micro greens like sprouts! They are super tasty 😊😊😊
I love my Beis carryon luggage! I’ve taken it on 3 trips so far. Packed 10 days worth of clothes and carried it on multiple airlines no problem. Granted I’ve never checked it, but it’s held up beautifully…. Even after dragging it around on cobblestone in Europe.
I actually use the Fitbit app to track my period even though I don't have a Fitbit anymore and it's been really accurate with me, even going through perimenopause
I swear by Frownie’s! Have been using them for yearrrssss and removed my 11 lines. However I don’t smell them. So strange bc usually random smells really do bother me. Love the honesty!
I feel for you with that period incident. So many similar things happened to me when I younger. I like the Cora brand too, but I switched to Rael. The Rael pads are a little thicker and the tampons have an easier applicator. You're doing great Brittany!!💜
I love my oral B iO tooth brush and I do quickly rinse and wipe it off every time I brush and do not store it with the top on. I also purchased the softer brush heads and use the gum care setting. My daughter and son-in-law are dentists. I think this is the most amazing tooth brush. Give it another try. You dry off your razor everything you use it.
Yes!!! I got those pads thanks to my friends recommendations and nooooooo. OUCH! I loved these! They are SO helpful. Essential oils…they don’t do anything, they are harmful to animals and influencers promoted the crap out of them. Im also curious where they went…
Loved this video!! It’s honest and super helpful!! My beef is also with Beis. 2 years ago I bought one of their smaller products for my girls & I for Christmas. They came and I was underwhelmed. They were the 2 sided clear and faux leather toiletry case and they were pricey for what they were. They were warped and never softened to the normal shape. Thing is Amazon sold the same style item for 1/4 of the cost. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I usually really love knix because they are so thin and comfortable and don't feel like you're wearing a diaper. But I definitely use them as more of a backup and usually still put a tampon in on at least day 2. The chemical thing is kind of concerning though.
I actually really appreciate your honesty! One of the reasons I love your channel I don’t feel like you push products just because they pay you. I will say my frownies don’t smell but I would not be able to handle it if they did 😂. ❤ love you and hope you are well! Thinking about you this holiday season that you are navigating through differently than you have in the past ❤
Good to know about the Oral B io! I’ve been using Quip for years but have considered changing to a chargeable sonic periodically. I had the same mold issues with my Philips Sonicare - so disgusting!! That was way too much maintenance for my liking having to be so diligent to clean it.
I personally LOVE natural cycles! I recommend it to all my friends and know 3 of them use it too! Its worked for all of us! We all wanted our bodies to just do their thing and not interfere and it’s been nice not worrying about any side effects!
I may have just not ovulated my last cycle so it may have been accurate (I’m looking into it) But regardless I’m annoyed that they wouldn’t refund me 😩
I would never try this brand just based on your customer service experience. Its important that a company cares about its customers and their experience. And that is a ridiculous amount to bill you for something you can't even use@@vasseurbeauty
i enjoy that you do a trial period before recommending items. Thank you! does anyone have a recommendation for a collagen supplement for osteoporosis & nails?
Oh, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who hated Oral B toothbrush! For those exact reasons!! I bought one for my daughter and when I noticed the mold, I felt so guilty! We are now using a kid’s Phillips sonic brush.
I have used the Flo app period tracker for years. I love it and highly recommend it. It’s free and it’s always spot on where I’m at in my cycle. It’s so helpful for drs appts too when they need to know the first day of your last period! Loved the video!
Oh no the period panty story!! I actually use Knix and Thinx and have loved them. I have bled HEAVY in them, slept in them, went running…I’ve never one time leaked. Maybe I shouldn’t trust it so much lol
I have the Oral B Io toothbrush…I don’t have the mold issue I guess because I’ve always dried it and put it away with the brush head off. I’m thinking all electronic toothbrushes have mold issues so I try to avoid it where I can… so far so good after 2 years:)
How you describe the arch support in the Nike shoes feeling like there’s a rock in your shoe is how I’ve felt about every arch support shoe I’ve ever tried on. I have really high arches, so you’d think I would need arch support, but it always feels at least like it’s in the wrong place, and ends up being pain inducing, rather than pain relieving.
Wow you really just saved me ! I have been looking at the knix brand but hadn't pulled the trigger yet. Thank you for sharing your embarrassing story - you've definitely saved me from making a mistake! I also tried the frownies and they were awful! I haven't tried the loving tan bcz it always turns me orange (I'm fair with pink undertone) but I tried the new balibody serum and WOW, it's awesome! It's a lotion that doesn't transfer and has zero smell. It's not super dark or super light, just perfect ❤️. Awesome video!
I am glad you called out Nutrafol. My dermatologist recommended it and when I saw the price, I was shocked. $80 per month. And one thing about using products like this, once you stop your hair goes right back and you have to use it for about a year. So when the price increases you are stuck.
Brittany came in SAVAGE and I'm here for it!
you know, I'm dealing with a lot right now and I just have no F*s left to give lolllll
I don’t even think it was savage. It was respectful but honest.
❤❤❤yessssss i agree!!! Notes taken

What an embarrassing loss for natural cycles 😳, there is no excuse for poor customer service in this day and age.
Thanks again Brittany for another good video!
They should have given Brittany the refund! Big mistake. Huge.
So strange. Never had issues with their period products, and I have many. Also bought lots for my daughter.
Getting your period does not equal a woman ovulating. I do not believe it's the apps fault.
You can research this info!
I fell for that Nutrofol and choked down those 4 horse capsules for over a year. Nothing. They are getting rich on all the suckers falling for the influencers promoting it. Ridiculous price! Bravo for you standing up!
❣Thank u! I was just looking at this supplement thinking ~ should I? And now it's a ~ should not! 🙂
Ugh I just bought two bottles and opened one earlier today before watching this vid 😩
I totally agree with this - I bought the liquid and the tablets both cost a fortune and used for months - if anything more of my hair fell out. So disappointed!
Totally agree! Such a massive waste of money!
So glad you posted about Nutrafol. I was about to let go if the money for it
I full on cringed in empathy at Brittany’s story about the period pants. Brings back all those adolescent memories of period stains on pants and trying to hide it.
Riiighhttttt ?!?
I love it when you expose lousy products. You do it tastefully and with integrity behind your honest opinions. We all have opinions and we're all entitled to them whether others agree with them or not. We all know this, everyone knows this. Who cares what the "offended parties" think in the long run. Please don't shy away from expressing your honest opinions from honest experiences. These are just as important as your positive ones. In my opinion. :) Great job, Brittany. Please do more of these as you experience them. They are always welcome in my book! Thank you!!
Ditto all that!!
So pleased to see all the positive comments you are getting for this video. You are one of the few reviewers I trust 100%. Always. And as someone else noted, you look happy and healthy and we all want only the best for you!
Agree. I have purchased so many of Brittany's recommendations over the years and still use to this day. I really appreciated this video...we need more like this 💜💙💚💛🧡
I have been using Frownies for nearly a year. I LOVE them! I am very sensitive to smells and have never noticed an odor.

Thank you for sharing that information!
Mine don't have any smell or scent either! I've used them for 2 years with varying results.
I use and love them too!
I love frownies ❤
Interesting, I purchased mine on Amazon and they have a smell that Im TRYING to tolerate. It says it's from the actual Frownies vendor...
videos like these are SO important bc it shows that you are honest enough to not tout products just bc they want to pay you!! that's why you're one of the few i really trust w recommended products! love the brutal honesty!
Another perspective - I am more likely to trust and buy from someone I know is giving an honest review. If I want to hear only positive things, there are paid biased commercials for that. It is okay to give an HONEST experience and we all need to realize that if we love something and someone else doesn’t that is ok. As a consumer I want to hear the positive and negative experiences others have to make a more informed decided before buying. It doesn’t mean a person is trashing a brand.
So please don’t feel bad for sharing these Brittany. It is refreshing to hear what didn’t work out.
Also - I have definitely had my own awful experience with period panties 😂😭
I think this should be a recurring series! I DESPISE companies like that Natural Cycle (I already forgot--was that their name?) and their scammy subscriptions. Love that you're calling them out, Brittany! 💛💛💛
BECAUSE you are so positive so often, I will take these rejects very seriously, because it is so unlike you to say anything less than positive about something. Thank you so much for bringing these products to our attention.
I will have to show my daughter this video! She loves Nike running shoes, recently she ordered AF1’s and she found the exact same issues! It felt like there were small pebbles inside her shoe and the tongue also hurt her foot! The pebble feeling was only on one shoe! She loved the shoes so much and really wanted them so she returned them and ordered another pair! To make a long story short, she repeated this process 4 times and finally found a pair that didn’t feel like she was walking on rocks! She puts a small piece of foam under the tongue to lift it up a bit so it doesn’t rub and hurt the top of her foot! Nike quality control seems a little off especially for the ridiculous price you pay for these shoes!
I LOVE truth and honesty on TH-cam and ESPECIALLY trust Brittany. Because so often TOO many “influencers” on here will only tell you things they love and it gets truly dull and honestly leads me to feel very suspicious when their won’t be any honest feedback on brands.
Thank you so so much Brittany!!
This is exactly why your subs love you because you tell the truth and all your recommendations are legit. If you say it’s good, then I know it’s good. You love you Brittany!
Ah I love frownies 😄 they work like magic on my 11’s between the eyes. If you leave the pads to dry tacky for about 30 sec and then the smell isn‘t there anymore for me when they are applied.
This was a new style for you and I love it!! I am so here for it!! I absolutely love all the product recommendations and reviews you do as well, but this was a really nice change. It is super good to know about certain products that I shouldn't waste my money on. Especially when clever advertising gets us all 😭 Love you Brittany!! ❤
Yes we love a spicy and honest Brittany because I take your reviews seriously. The worst product I’ve purchased this year was definitely the caraway cookware and storage containers, a huge waste of $630. The “nonstick” claim is bogus because my “nonstick” coating went away after 3 months of use, the outside paint is chipping and honestly they’re not worth the price. The storage containers lids warped after one wash in the dishwasher so now they don’t seal properly. They’re beautiful sets, very aesthetically pleasing but not worth the money I spent on them. And yes, I did read the directions on how to use them.
I’m really loving the Carote Brand of pots and pans but not everyone does and I think the difference is I hand wash my pots and pans and towel dry them and put them away. If I stack any and I do I do put a few paper towels between the bottom/top of those stacked packed to keep things from getting scratched. That’s just my experience with Carote and Our Place as well. They have held like the day I opened the boxes.
@@angithomas1711 I’ll look into that brand. I always hand wash and dry and don’t stack my pots and pans regardless of the brand but Caraway is just so overpriced and overhyped.
@@angithomas1711I love the Carote brand cookware too.
I had the same issue with Caraway. Coating is trashed and we hand washed it.
They do look beautiful, and I've been tempted. I'm so glad to know that I can cross them off my wish list and that there are better options out there. Thanks, everyone!
Frownies worked amazing on me, but I agree with you that they stink! I managed to get past the smell and it has been worth it. They really work! 😅
Loved this video! It’s so important to expose horrible customer service so the rest of us will know what we would be dealing with if we bought their product!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Brittany. It is so refreshing to be able to trust someone and your honesty is so wonderful. I watch you always and keep learning new things. You go girl. Have a wonderful Holiday, even though I know it will not be what you're used to. If anyone can do this, you can, and remember your followers love you and will be there with you.
I love this! It’s so nice to hear the truth and not be sold stuff. DeInfluencing makes me happy!
Thank you Brittney! ❤ So sorry you had an embarrassing mishap! I was mortified listening! 😱😢Then the burning omg every women’s worst nightmare. Thanks for the heads up! I have an extreme allergic reaction to Tampax brand. It’s Kotex for me. Haven’t dared to try the organic brands however I did try the Always bleach and chemical free ones & the Seventh Generation liners at Target and those 3 were great for me if anyone out there is very “sensitive” .
Would love to see someone do a consumer collaboration video on products tried and what epically failed.
Thank you for your honesty and that you mention the prices. Some You Tubers don't seem to care about spending other folks money to recommend products but your honest opinions will SAVE us money. I appreciate your honesty and not "pushing" products.
I was burned by those collapsible silicone colanders. I got a two pack and they were awful. They don’t fully strain the food and every time I used them my plate had a puddle in the bottom of it when I finished eating. That said, I mentioned that in my review and they issued a full refund. 👌🏻👌🏻 Loved this video!!!!!
I absolutely loved this video!! Thank you for being honest and for putting this out. It makes me trust your judgement even more! ❤
I like this new side of Brittany that we get to see! It made me laugh so much. Especially with the frownies. I love my frownies and they work so well but I noticed the same thing!!! Lmao! I use a rose water to get them wet and it helps so much with the smell! I think you should do more like this. Especially bc you have a great story with each one!
So good to know about the period panties. I wanted to try them... Not now. Ha ha.
The worst product I bought was the LG A9 ultimate vacuum. The vacuum itself was fine for a stick vacuum. Comparable to Dyson even. but when the connection snapped on the stick part I contacted customer support. Worst customer support experience of my life. They gave me the run around every time. Even hung up on me when I called. I fought for almost a year to get them to replace the part that was broken. The kept trying to charge me when it was under warranty. Sent me the wrong piece once. Made me fill out the forms over and over again because they kept losing my claim. Then my year warranty was up and they wouldnt even talk to me any more. It broke 2 months after I bought it. So I caved and bought the part on eBay. It broke a few weeks later where the attachments wouldn't power up anymore when connected to the main body portion. Now it just makes noise and doesn't even suck. I cleaned out filters and everything regularly. I don't know it I just got a lemon of a vacuum or if the vacuum itself is horrible but jeez... LG customer support is the absolute worst out there for a big brand. Sorry for the long rant. It was a scarring experience for sure.
Enjoyed this video - I appreciate your honest product assessments and really trust you. You also remind us to check out ingredients. ❤️✝️
Frownies hurt my face so bad!!! I appreciate the honesty! So many influencers promote products that either don’t work or fail!
This video was un-hinged and I'm here for it lol. I use a few of these products with no issues lol, but everyone has different experiences. 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 ya Britt!
We humans are all different and thank goodness for that. I’m here to loudly defend Frownies. I’ve used them for 20 months and I’m here to tell you that they work! When she mentioned the horrible smell I did a double take. I have a very sensitive nose and I had to go get some from my bathroom and smell them. Nothing offensive to me. Nothing. That’s where Brittany and I differ. And besides that, she has such beautiful young skin that she doesn’t need Frownies. I need them. They work. Period. Again, remember that we are each unique. Brittany doesn’t like them. I do. You decide for yourself.
It's so strange, I've had them since 2020 and I have never noticed even a slight smell... very strange.
I love my Frownies too but for me, the smell is just awful. I have never got over it after all this time but I am a sensitive to smell type of person. I buy them directly from the company, not from Amazon.
Thank God I went with Shea's recommendation on the bambody period underwear! I knew the knix was too good to be true. Never had a problem with the bambody period undies. I even bought more of them.
Embarrassing to hear about the customer service for Natural Cycles...AND the price?! I've been using it for 2 years and it's $89.99/year, so my eyes bugged out of my head when I heard $200 AND no refund. Sorry you had that experience. However, I will say Natural Cycles has been my BC since I got married and so far...no complaints and I LOVE knowing more about my body.
Thanks for such a helpful video! The product that is a big no for me is the Lumineux whitening teeth strips 👎 I know that the product works for you, but unfortunately it made my teeth more yellow 😬 I got mine professionally whitened yesterday, & now they're all good. However, all of the other products you recommend always work great for me 😊
Greetings from Canada, Brittany! Thanks so much for your genuine and honest reviews of products that you have tried and used. I especially enjoy watching those videos and have actually purchased some of the products you have recommended and have been impressed, for the most part. The review that really hit home for me in this video was the Oral B electric toothbrush. My husband and I have been diehard users of the Oral B brush for many years but I never thought to check the head for mold. So, I checked our brushes and, sure enough, the inside of my husband's brush head has black mold in it. Mine, however, doesn't and I would like to offer hope to the diehard Oral B users out there. I have been using this brush head for several weeks, now, so it is not a brand new one. The reason that my brush head doesn't have mold in it is because every time I brush, I rinse the inside of the brush head out and then I blow into the end to get all the water out. This dries it out and so must prevent the mold from growing. It also keeps the stand from getting gummed up. I hope that you and others find this helpful. Best wishes to you and your family this holiday season! 😃
I love this u should totally make it into a regular series!
Natural cycles takes a few months to accurately predict our cycles. The algorithm gets better at predicting with time. I’ve used it for a few months now and it’s pretty accurate for me.
Thank you for info on the period panties. I had considered getting them for my daughter, thinking they would be so much easier to use. I had no idea they are filled with forever chemicals 😳 You turned me on to Grove long ago and I love their cleaners - I have zero reaction to them. I totally trust your opinions and reviews. ❤️
Definitely try out the bambody ones she mentioned! My teen daughter uses them every month! We tried a few different ones, but bambody was the best.
Thank you!
The period company does not use PFAs and their period underwear are soooooo comfy and most of their underwear cost $9/pair which is a fraction of the cost of most other period underwear companies! I have so many pairs from them and from modibodi. Initially, I liked modibodi better for styles and the feel of them… until I experienced a leak from them and they ended up being way more high maintenance for cleaning, especially since I have to line dry them. The period co you just rinse, throw in the washer and then throw in the dryer.
I LOVED this video! I think that it's just as helpful to know which products might not be worth purchasing as it is to hear about great products. I often get more valuable information by reading the 1- and 2-star reviews on products than from the 4- and 5-star reviews. Sometimes hearing the downsides of a product allows you to make a decision much more easily than hearing what people liked about it. Especially when we're bombarded with so many products these days, it's nice to just be able to save ourselves some time and money and skip the ones that will probably disappoint us. I would definitely vote for more videos like this in the future!
Good to know on the Knix-Ive considered that brand. The honey pot pads-YES!!! The package said something about being soothing. It has freaking menthol in it! I was glad I was home. At first it was warm tingly and just felt weird. Then it was burning. I jumped in the shower to wash it off.
Appreciate the honest reviews! I can chime in a little on the Beis luggage. My carryon is about a year old, so far, so good. It has been gate checked, on a cruise, and flown a number of domestic flights with no issues.
I used Natural Cycles for YEARS for pregnancy prevention and it was AWESOME! It does take awhile for it to learn your body's cycle though so I waited like 3 months before relying on it, but never had any issues!
Same
Literally how reviews should truly be! Companies should appreciate reviews like this to better themselves vs being scam artists 😂
More videos like this please!! I love my Beis weekender bag but I never use the shoulder strap so I didn’t notice that. I only use it for short weekend trips, never actually flew with it. Love this video! I wish more people made would make real videos like this.
We need more videos like this!! Loved it!
I have the beis diaper bag and it’s very nice. The strap is padded as well! I’ve tried so many and beis has the best diaper bag in my opinion 🙌🏼 (if anyone is wondering about the diaper bag)
Thank you for your honest reviews and I also bought nutrafol for hair growth and thought the same thing about taking 4 pills a day... ugh so annoying. Thanks!
Dearest Brittany, can you please do a review on pillows, I have neck issues and can never find a really good supportive pillow and there are soooo many out there!!! Love your reviews
i totally understand the need to people please!!!!! let me say 1, i’m proud of you for making AND posting this video! and 2, i love love love information like this!! Sometimes it’s the only “real” thing you can find on the internet. so i’m here for it and i hope you make more!
You should invest in a June cup. They’re similar to diva cup but way cheaper ! And they’re amazing!! I put it in on day 1 period and it can stay all day. I don’t ever have leaks either. Takes time to get use to but it’s so worth adjusting too. I was never a tampon girl but the cups aren’t like tampons. You literally don’t feel them. Great for pool days too and outdoor trips where there is no bathrooms - I do a lot of rock climbing and the spots I go are remote - so it’s nice to have the cups for those trips. I’ve never had to change one outside and don’t have to worry abt things when I have to use the bathroom outside 😅🥴
But yeah - ditch disposable and get one! I wish I had done it a decade ago
For me it was the nira laser. It made my under eyes so much worse! I did exactly what they said to do, and now I'm having to repair the damage on top of what I was trying to fix! 😢
I spent $200 + on a BÈIS diaper bag and thought OMG this is the diaper bag of ALL diaper bags… & boy do I regret it! I could have just used a cute back pack I ended up getting and itzy ritzy small diaper bag purse still pricey but I use it as a purse now but it actually just broke on the gold chain strap so thankfully my daughter is now 3 and might need a few pull ups that I can keep in the car for emergencies
I’m so thankful that you reviewed Nutrafol because I was considering it. Not any more! I’m struggling with thinning hair during menopause and I have NO idea what to do. I feel like my hair was always my shining glory, but not at all now. I’m really down about it. But thankful to you! Great post! ❤
I was interested in her comments on Nutrafol, and she said she cannot comment on if it works or not. I too am suffering from thinig hair and want to give it a try.
I can tell you that I have been using nutrafol for 6 months now for the same reason hair thinning , pre menopause related; and it’s been really good and I also color my hair. Also my dermatologist recommended it to me .
@@eimyluna700 appreciate the feedback! I'm going to give it a try! Thank you!! Love the kitty profile!! Cat lover here! ♥️
Omg I love frownies and they don’t smell to me at all- that’s so funny! Crazy how different our experiences can be.
Sorry for the embarrassing moment. I do take off my Oral B toothbrush, rinse it out, and leave it to dry on paper towel. It is kind of a pain. I'm using caster oil to grow eyebrows and eyelashes, which is working. I am now sot of trying it on my hair, but not as often as I should
I love my period panties, but I've always used them as secondary. I use washable/reusable pads with them. I switched to reusable pads bc regular pads kept giving me rashes.
Love your honest reviews 🎉. I have tried frownes didn’t notice a strong or musty smell and I am sensitive to smells to me it only smells like the adhesive part on a mailing envelope however I went on to buy silicone patches and like them a lot
yeah an envelope is a perfect comparison
Girl, I have the Beis bag and hated it for the same reason! Get you one of those padded sleeves for seatbelts. Doesn’t make it perfect, but helps a lot!
The reason why I haven't had as much of a problem is I just use it like a tote on top of a small swivel wheel suitcase 😂
I won't usually use mine without it
The oral B io 9 is the perfection. After every use i detach the head and rinse it under the water from outside and inside also same for the body part of the toothbrush… then i put the head back on to the body but not all the was throigh just enough to put it to the holder that i attached to wall . My brush is super clean already have it for 1 yr since it came out and never experiwnced any mold. U dont need to clean it with a tool just 3 sec rinse and thats it and let it breathe dont put it to the box. No need to dry it :) and i love menstuation panties but since im from europe we have other brands and i was lucky finding the right ones at the first try :) also menstrual cup is awesome and really big helper especially in wellness where it prevents also if you are not on your period from getring the hot tub watwr inskde u and causing mycosis down there if someone is prone to it ;) little life hack
This was great! It definitely lets us know what to avoid. More of these please! 😊
Love this! One of the worst products is the Mira fertility tracker 😠 it’s so pricey and does the same thing as OTC ovulation sticks. Actually it’s worse and less reliable.
I have almost all the beis luggage. I love the carry on! The checked bag is also good, but the weight indicator broke on me because security was too rough with it, so I wouldn't necessarily splurge on the checked bag. Both of my weekenders have padded straps.. not sure why yours didn't have it, but I wouldn't recommend the weekenders for personal items on planes. Best for road trips.
Thanks for sharing,,, I think it’s just as important to know the negative reviews as the positives,,, keep people honest 🙋♀️
‼️❤️yup…THIS is the stuff consumers need to know…the nice fluffy reviews are fine, but I’m here for the honesty ✅‼️
Great video!! Love the honesty!!!!! I do like frownies and I haven’t ever smelled any smell. I wonder if you got a bad batch? I can understand not wanting to try them again though lol
Thanks for another great video!
Hi Brittany! In regards to the daily element supplements. It’s definitely expensive. I do know that Micro greens do contain very high nutrients compared to the actual veggie because it is all concentrated. Is the amount you are eating comparable to 7 cups of greens? I’m not too sure lol, but definitely expensive. But eat your micro greens like sprouts! They are super tasty 😊😊😊
I love my Beis carryon luggage! I’ve taken it on 3 trips so far. Packed 10 days worth of clothes and carried it on multiple airlines no problem. Granted I’ve never checked it, but it’s held up beautifully…. Even after dragging it around on cobblestone in Europe.
Thank you so much for all your honest reviews. It helps normal people like us so much! 💕
I actually use the Fitbit app to track my period even though I don't have a Fitbit anymore and it's been really accurate with me, even going through perimenopause
I swear by Frownie’s! Have been using them for yearrrssss and removed my 11 lines. However I don’t smell them. So strange bc usually random smells really do bother me. Love the honesty!
I feel for you with that period incident. So many similar things happened to me when I younger. I like the Cora brand too, but I switched to Rael. The Rael pads are a little thicker and the tampons have an easier applicator. You're doing great Brittany!!💜
I genuinely love and appreciate the honesty! I’ve always trusted your opinions and it’s nice to hear your negative experience with products as well.
I love my oral B iO tooth brush and I do quickly rinse and wipe it off every time I brush and do not store it with the top on. I also purchased the softer brush heads and use the gum care setting. My daughter and son-in-law are dentists. I think this is the most amazing tooth brush. Give it another try. You dry off your razor everything you use it.
Loved this! Please do more. Like top influenced products would be fun ☺️
I’ve been using Knix products for many years. NEVER had a leak. 😊
I love Frownies… I’ve been using them for years and never noticed a smell.
Yes!!! I got those pads thanks to my friends recommendations and nooooooo. OUCH!
I loved these! They are SO helpful.
Essential oils…they don’t do anything, they are harmful to animals and influencers promoted the crap out of them. Im also curious where they went…
Loved this video!! It’s honest and super helpful!!
My beef is also with Beis. 2 years ago I bought one of their smaller products for my girls & I for Christmas. They came and I was underwhelmed. They were the 2 sided clear and faux leather toiletry case and they were pricey for what they were. They were warped and never softened to the normal shape. Thing is Amazon sold the same style item for 1/4 of the cost. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Love this video so much! We need more of these. I tend to believe everything I see. Not a good habit! Appreciate the honesty!
😊 Great video content, theme and especially how you go on to give a better/approved recommendation! ❤
I usually really love knix because they are so thin and comfortable and don't feel like you're wearing a diaper. But I definitely use them as more of a backup and usually still put a tampon in on at least day 2. The chemical thing is kind of concerning though.
I actually really appreciate your honesty! One of the reasons I love your channel I don’t feel like you push products just because they pay you. I will say my frownies don’t smell but I would not be able to handle it if they did 😂. ❤ love you and hope you are well! Thinking about you this holiday season that you are navigating through differently than you have in the past ❤
I liked this video! It’s nice to hear some things that don’t work out because not everything always does
Good to know about the Oral B io! I’ve been using Quip for years but have considered changing to a chargeable sonic periodically. I had the same mold issues with my Philips Sonicare - so disgusting!! That was way too much maintenance for my liking having to be so diligent to clean it.
Thank you for always being honest and informative!
I personally LOVE natural cycles! I recommend it to all my friends and know 3 of them use it too! Its worked for all of us! We all wanted our bodies to just do their thing and not interfere and it’s been nice not worrying about any side effects!
I may have just not ovulated my last cycle so it may have been accurate (I’m looking into it)
But regardless I’m annoyed that they wouldn’t refund me 😩
I would never try this brand just based on your customer service experience. Its important that a company cares about its customers and their experience. And that is a ridiculous amount to bill you for something you can't even use@@vasseurbeauty
i enjoy that you do a trial period before recommending items. Thank you! does anyone have a recommendation for a collagen supplement for osteoporosis & nails?
Bone broth. 💕
Oh, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who hated Oral B toothbrush! For those exact reasons!! I bought one for my daughter and when I noticed the mold, I felt so guilty! We are now using a kid’s Phillips sonic brush.
I have used the Flo app period tracker for years. I love it and highly recommend it. It’s free and it’s always spot on where I’m at in my cycle. It’s so helpful for drs appts too when they need to know the first day of your last period! Loved the video!
I’m having the same problem with oral B… I had to run to the bathroom and look inside and you are right.. that’s disgusting!
Oh no the period panty story!! I actually use Knix and Thinx and have loved them. I have bled HEAVY in them, slept in them, went running…I’ve never one time leaked. Maybe I shouldn’t trust it so much lol
I love this honesty!! I love my oral b brush so just shows you that everything works different for everyone!
So yours doesn’t grow mold?
@@user-on7zd8yi8gnot at all! I’m in the habit of rinsing it and drying the head separately from the base so the extra step doesn’t bother me at all
I have the Oral B Io toothbrush…I don’t have the mold issue I guess because I’ve always dried it and put it away with the brush head off. I’m thinking all electronic toothbrushes have mold issues so I try to avoid it where I can… so far so good after 2 years:)
How you describe the arch support in the Nike shoes feeling like there’s a rock in your shoe is how I’ve felt about every arch support shoe I’ve ever tried on. I have really high arches, so you’d think I would need arch support, but it always feels at least like it’s in the wrong place, and ends up being pain inducing, rather than pain relieving.
Wow you really just saved me ! I have been looking at the knix brand but hadn't pulled the trigger yet. Thank you for sharing your embarrassing story - you've definitely saved me from making a mistake! I also tried the frownies and they were awful! I haven't tried the loving tan bcz it always turns me orange (I'm fair with pink undertone) but I tried the new balibody serum and WOW, it's awesome! It's a lotion that doesn't transfer and has zero smell. It's not super dark or super light, just perfect ❤️. Awesome video!
Thanks for keeping it REAL! I've watched your videos for quite some time and finally subscribed.
I am glad you called out Nutrafol. My dermatologist recommended it and when I saw the price, I was shocked. $80 per month. And one thing about using products like this, once you stop your hair goes right back and you have to use it for about a year. So when the price increases you are stuck.
brittany ~ love that you are sharing what you dont like as well! hope you have happy holidays! 🫶🏻
