Definitely interested in shampoo for thinning hair or anything else that might help.

I'd love to test some face moisturisers and serums and also some green teas. I am really much in to my fitness too and would love to trial some running tights and other workout gear that keeps me warm but not sweaty when outside.

I'd like to test steam generator irons, as I seem to have endless piles of laundry and would really like to find the best one to steam through it

The Dyson Hairdryer. Is it worth the money?

KirbyGirl Fri 29-Dec-17 16:01:43

Loo paper. Some time ago I complained about the fragility of many toilet papers and one or two Gransnetters recommended Nicki. I had never seen Nicki until it appeared on my milkman's Christmas list of products he could deliver. Actually it is the worst I have ever had and I think they must have changed the formulation. Sorry to bang on again.

lgo Fri 29-Dec-17 15:33:11

I am a self confessed coffee addict and would love to test and taste coffee from all over the world

Dwynne Fri 29-Dec-17 14:21:42

Gluten free products, leggings that don’t lose shape, waffle makers.

goose1964 Fri 29-Dec-17 11:21:03

I would love to try kitchen gadgets and make up and skin care

Megram Fri 29-Dec-17 10:49:24

Undies and swimming costumes! Which ones are well fitting and look good without being "old lady".

auntybee Thu 28-Dec-17 23:13:19

My wish list would include anything really but specifically I’d like: on the beauty side - foot treatments/hard skin, makeup for ‘mature skin’, perfumes, Spa/skin treatments.
Practical: sebo/miele/dyson cleaners, steam cleaners for hard/tiled floors (I bought one but after several episodes of flooding the floors then having to hand-wipe/soak up the dirty water, then I borrowed a different one only....... etc), a SAD machine. And last of all I’d LOVE to be on the tester panel for a new magazine for ‘real’ retirees (ie active 65+s who want to live/travel, have interesting lives/experiences, buy clothes for ‘real’ women - at realistic prices!). I’m too young to roll over and die! Something between Woman and Home/Yours would be nice pls......

auntybee Thu 28-Dec-17 22:44:28

Mine too - I thought it was only me! Please can 8 be No.2 on test panel?

Pear102 Thu 28-Dec-17 22:23:21

Id love to test run a dyson hairdryer as have heard great things but cannot fathom spending thAt amount on a hairdryer. Also organic face products.

cluckyhen0 Thu 28-Dec-17 21:44:53

Me - I'd love to test a halogen oven

I think I agree with grannyknot &also hair thickening products. Sensitive/mature skin preparations.

Annamaria0 Thu 28-Dec-17 19:19:57

Subscription boxes, not just beauty boxes, but books, vegan snacks etc I have seen so many of those subscriptions, it’d great to know which ones are good value.

Annamaria0 Thu 28-Dec-17 19:16:21

Laser hair removal devices that you can use at home, please. They are not cheap, so it’d be useful to know which work best.
