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

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......

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

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

Electric bicycle-would like to take up cycling but hills are a problem.

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

I would love to test some face creams for neck and chest that actually reduced the wrinkles!,

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

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.

Dapootz Fri 29-Dec-17 16:33:18

The Dyson Hairdryer. Is it worth the money?

badgermum Fri 29-Dec-17 16:47:39

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

Julieangell Fri 29-Dec-17 19:43:13

Pedometers.They seem to vary in accuracy.

CompGirl23 Sat 30-Dec-17 10:35:39

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.

jocork Sat 30-Dec-17 14:15:36

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

eGJ Sat 30-Dec-17 14:40:28

Steam cleaners; are they worth it; do they work?
Hand blenders.

busybee6969 Sat 30-Dec-17 16:34:37

facial oil products,kettles,suntan lotion,supermarket products food or drink love testing products dont care what they are

cheekychicken24 Sat 30-Dec-17 17:47:02

Skincare would be good - maybe high performing high street brands. Also cooing products. Maybe some of these spice kits or rubs I keep seeing that are supposed to make curries etc but without the high sugar jars of sauces.

Dannydog1 Sat 30-Dec-17 20:47:25

Tweezers - I find it really hard to get a good pair

JoG3512 Sat 30-Dec-17 21:21:01

I would love to product test all of that wine - I am your lady!!
On a more serious note I would love to test one of those cake mixers - they look fabulous!!

Pumpkin2 Sat 30-Dec-17 23:38:50

I'd like to test products that help do tasks when you get older. As an example, I have limited movement in my left hand and would love to try various easy grip nail clippers.

travelsafar Sun 31-Dec-17 09:22:06

Pumpkin2 brilliant idea, i am sure that many of us struggle with using every day objects that we take for granted until the day comes when we can't use them any longer. I find i can not peel potatoes with a knife anymore so have to use a veg peeler.Using a knife gives me terrible cramps in my hands for some reason.
