Sensodyne Repair + Protect

Overall Verdict: 5 stars

*I received these products for free from Influenster and Sensodyne in exchange for my honest review**

Product: Sensodyne Repair + Protect toothpaste

Whoop a product review about toothpaste how sexy and exciting.

The paste is quite thick - thicker than a normal toothpaste. Normally I gag when brushing my teeth with a minty type paste but this one was ok.

Minimal gag reflex

After the first use my mouth was left feeling nice and fresh and continued to get the same feeling after every brush. This is a nice change from the original Sensodyne products. I like how you’re not left with that baking soda taste either like you get in some other brands. Your mouth literally feels squeaky clean - and yes I did do the finger rub on the teeth to hear the squeak. 

I know it’s not sexy to talk about toothpaste but hey you got to look after your pegs. This paste can be used up to a maximum of 3 times per day so again ideal for those with sensible teeth as you can get a little relief after lunch.  

The sensitivity I have been experiencing is slowly easing and I can now eat hot food and drink ice cold water again - not at the same time. I was left with sensitive teeth following a deep filling a few years ago that never really seem to heal. 

For me this is a 5 star toothpaste simply down to my two basic needs been met:

Reduced sensitivity.

Left my mouth feeling squeaky clean. 

Result

I would definitely recommend this to friends and family especially if you have sensitive teeth. It’s now part of my everyday routine.

Kid Connection Dino Play Centre

Overall Verdict: 1.5 pushing 2 stars

Concept: 5/5

Age recommendation vs real world: 2/5

Ball pit:1/5

Slide: 0.5/5

Dino arch 0.5/5

Today I’m reviewing the Dino Play Centre by Kid Connection.

Its one of those rare weekends in the UK where we get our wobbly white bits out hoping to either get a tan or not burn too badly that we look like over cooked lobsters on Monday morning.

The wee man wanted a paddling pool, he had a choice of an actual pool with no frills or this dinosaur pool. Of course he opted for this one and why wouldn’t he he’s 4.

Out the box, it looked ok but the assembly stage happened. Oh feck me the sweat was dripping and not in a sexy way. Manual inflation only 😫🤬 Base ok, slide a bit of a flaff then the hideous Dino arch. That bloody thing felt like I was inflating a car. 3 hours later the pools up but oh shit there’s another bloody piece - the ball pit.

Whoop it’s finally assembled and all I have to do is add water - fairly idiot proof….

Time to connect the hose pipe to the arch to Dino arch to cheat filling the pool. If you value your life don’t bother. It pisses water out the valve and the pressure of the water makes the arch topple over if not fully inflated. The hose wasn’t even on that much just a quarter turn of the tap barely a dribble. Gave up and lied to said child that the arch doesn’t work when the oils full 😂😂

Slide. Yeah what can I say about this pointless add on. As I said my child is 4 and the box say this product is for age 3+ it should be weight limit. Every time the wee lad uses the slide the water comes out from underneath. Perhaps that’s why you need the hose connected to keep the pool full and flowing… there’s not much water in the pool even if you push the limits to add more so there’s no woo hoo splash.

Ball pit - waste of frigging time. It comes away all the time so all I hear is “it keeps falling down”. Bit of wind touches it and see ya later.

Overall. The idea is good but because you have to purchase some extra bits to make the hose connector work this isn’t worth the money. Also ball pit only comes with 5 balls; surely the manufacturer could have stretched to 10 or an inflatable ball.

All in all, expensive shopping trip, feeling hot and sweaty. Kids slightly happy and I’m a mam needing a bottle or two or Coors. Cheers fellow parents and thanks for reading.
