Would love pants that held me in without cutting off my circulation lol. At the moment I look slimmer but my legs look like two dead smurfs are holding me up. Is it asking too much??

Beauty products for mature skin. Particularly moisturiser. As always - Sleep aids.

Harris27 Sat 23-Dec-17 02:27:37

Suffer from facial hair problem but too embarrassed to ask about this type of product so yes help!

hellywellyt Fri 22-Dec-17 22:53:48

Electric toothbrushes to see which is really the best

NfkDumpling Fri 22-Dec-17 21:42:43

Moisturiser for saggy skin and something to shrink cellulite.

A diet which works with a hiatus hernia. I control mine with a little and often diet which doesn’t loose weight.

Quality fashion jumpers with no wool. All the good ones have wool in - and it makes me ITCH!

beckyinman Fri 22-Dec-17 20:20:52

I want to try something for thinning hair and skincare for rosacea prone skin

Grannymoz Fri 22-Dec-17 18:58:55

Shampoo and actually I'd love to try a slow cooker

deltadunarii Fri 22-Dec-17 17:16:07

Anything that is aimed at improving wellness: wearable technology, massage and beauty gadgets and all beauty products and supplements aimed at helping age beautifully.

kacky Fri 22-Dec-17 15:59:32

I'd love to product test perfume and food processors both of which I'm in need of but can't seem to choose at the moment.

gran1 Fri 22-Dec-17 13:38:18

Anything to do with thinning and dry hair

lexigran Fri 22-Dec-17 12:58:09

I'd like to test products that help to strengthen nails, mine are always splitting and breaking. Also hair removers (facial).
Yoghurt and/or ice cream makers would be interesting too. smile

annemac101 Fri 22-Dec-17 12:45:02

I would like to trial back and neck massagers. I have one but it is so heavy I need a massage on my arms after I've used it. Also cream for itchy skin or dry skin, toasters as I can never find any that toast evenly. Stain removers for laundry. Oh I'm open to anything!

JonFlorrie Fri 22-Dec-17 10:16:09

I mostly tend to stick to the same products so trialing new ones would be interesting, especially the following categories: laundry detergents; coffee; shampoo; toothpaste; muesli; tea; chocolate; buttery spreads. I have also wondered about electric toothbrushes, steam cleaners, hand held vacuum cleaners and sewing machines! Actually, I'm open to trying and reporting on anything new (as long as it's not a new husband! I'll stick with the old one thank you.)

Cindersdad Fri 22-Dec-17 10:11:25

Shoes for those of us with problem feet.

Foot treatment devices

wondergran Fri 22-Dec-17 00:44:50

I would love to test products that are either a) environmentally friendly and/or not tested on animals ie laundry products/ personal care/beauty products

Funkyferret Fri 22-Dec-17 00:17:22

Books, beauty, bath and body products, and anything involving carvanning (OK, maybe getting a bit more niche!).

cornergran Thu 21-Dec-17 23:57:55

Irons - can’t think when I was last happy with the performance of an iron.

Hard skin remover

Tegan2 Thu 21-Dec-17 23:37:36

But another one that needs stuff for thinning hair and flaking nails....

Tegan2 Thu 21-Dec-17 23:36:43

Really don't want anything Dyson until he brings his workforce back from Malaysia [and he gets enough publicity as it is]. Most people I know in the real world are boycotting Dyson goods....

grannyactivist Thu 21-Dec-17 23:22:42

Gadgets for me; I have a Fitbit, but apart from that I don't know any more what most of the gadgets do. So today I was in John Lewis and looked at a 'Tile Mate' that finds lost things, 'Google Home' that answers questions, photo printers, speakers, headphones, sound bars, 'Apple Air Pods'.........I could go on, but I would really like to trial some of these things to know whether they would be worth the investment.
The first Christmas after joining Gransnet I won a Dyson Animal in exchange for doing a review. I would be lost without it now and will definitely buy another when it needs replacing, but I would never have risked spending so much to buy one if I hadn't won one and experienced what great value it is.

cherylann2461 Thu 21-Dec-17 22:11:57

I would go for the Dyson fan as well as I am always uncomfortably warm

flossy1973 Thu 21-Dec-17 21:56:41

I'd love to try the new Dyson hair dryer!!

valbuk Thu 21-Dec-17 21:55:00

products for sensitive dry skin, vitamin supplements for the more mature, products to aid circulation in feet and hands

freefan Thu 21-Dec-17 21:42:47

I would love to test Chocolate or shower Gels, these would be amazing
