Seventh Generation Baby Wipes Refills, Chlorine Free and Unscented, 70-Count Packs (Pack of 12) (840 Wipes) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.
"These are the perfect baby wipe!" 2006-06-03
By J. Lien (Beautiful Washington State)
I love these baby wipes. They're strong, they stay moist, and they don't leave residue or a scent on the baby. My daughter doesn't get diaper rash from them either. Because they contain aloe, they're good for my hands, too, which helps because new moms are constantly washing their hands. I haven't found any place other than Amazon where they're cheaper - Amazon is the place to buy them. I've also purchased a case of the travel size wipes for the diaper bag - they're perfect. I was actually given a case of huggies wipes at my baby shower and haven't used them because I like the Seventh Generation ones better. What could be better than a product that really works well and is better for the planet than the other choices out there? I won't change brands after finding these!
"Wonderful product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 2006-03-16
By Older But Wiser Mom (New England, USA)
I have used these baby wipes---exclusively---with my son since he was born. They cost more but are definitely worth it when you consider how sensitive a baby's skin is, particularly during the first year of rapid growth. Buying these from Amazon.com has also saved us so much money and hassle! My son has never had diaper rash, and I love that this product not only smells 100 times better than other baby wipes but also helps the environment. The wipes are made without the use of chlorine and do not contain any unknown chemicals. Seventh Generation always discloses the ingredients in their products. There isn't a generic ingredient like "fragrance" on the label, which could mean 100 or more different ingredients. I like knowing exactly what my baby's skin has been exposed to. I also like supporting Seventh Generation, a wonderful company!!
"Great wipes!" 2006-03-31
By B. Lee
These are the best because they don't leave a slimy residue like the "major brands". We used these on our baby since birth and no diaper rash ever. Good deal on Amazon when you buy a case. I wish they were a little more moist (they seem a little drier than Huggies, Pampers, Costco etc) but that's just personal preference.
UPDATE: I ordered another case in March 2006. Wipes were noticably more moist and packaging changed. Great improvement.
"Best Baby Wipes" 2006-01-24
By Finally a momma (St. Louis, MO, USA)
I love 7th Generation products. They are chemical free and safe and healthy to have in your home. When I knew we were having a baby, I knew I could not wipe her with regular brand wipes due to the chemicals and bleaching meathods. I am particular about what I put on my body, knowthing that everything you put on your skin is absorbed into the blood stream. So, I certainly had to find a healthy wipe for my daughter. There was another non-chemical brand that I tried. She ended up with a diaper rash. The 7th Generation wipes clean well are strong and have kept her rash free. For me there is no other wipe for my little treasure.
"What a deal!" 2006-05-25
By K. Mccarley
I have been buying these wipes from drugstore.com for a year now. I can't believe the savings by purchasing a case from Amazon. I usually buy 8 pkgs at $4.24 a pop. This will save me $15 by buying them here. I strongly recommend these wipes over any of the wipes out there. No irritation on my babies' sensitive bottoms.

Pampers Baby Fresh Wipes, 720-count Box Review.
"LOve them" 2010-03-08
By mom of three (Aledo, IL)
I love these wipes! They aren't too thick and the odor is nice and gently. Some of the other wipes had a strong odor, but this wipe is great. I also love that it came with another container! If I don't need it to replace the wipes, I use my extra containers for crayons, markers, match box cars, and legos!
"Great product at a great price!" 2010-03-08
By Ed (Philadelphia, PA)
I am happy that Amazon has the Subscribe and Save service since we are able to save money on an item we need and can schedule the delivery to arrive when we needed it. Excellent product and service!
"Love it!" 2010-04-22
By Detty N. Wools (Wallops Island, VA)
My son and I love this product. It's not too thick, not too thin, and it smells wonderful. And I think the price is great for 720-count Box!
"LOVE these!" 2010-06-09
By R. Hillman
These are, in my opinion, the best baby wipes you can get. Pampers' classic wipes are fantastic (their thick ones are AWFUL, though), we've been using them for years. Personally, the babyfresh scent is my favorite. Unscented are great too, but I really love these. Thank you, Pampers!
"Excellent wipes & great value" 2010-06-26
By Dragana Anicic (Kew Gardens)
I have a 1.5 year old and a 5 year old child. I've been buying these wipes since the younger one was born. Hassle free purchase. They come right to your door and you save a lot. And the wipes are great. Sometimes we, adults use them too to refresh when in the car or on the road.

Coffee People Kona Blend, Extra Bold K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.
"Great Coffee" 2009-12-06
By J. Ellis (Hollywood Hills, CA)
I've tried pretty much all of coffee people's extra bold K-cups. Kona is my personal favorite. It has a faint nutty flavor and is very smooth, not bitter (like black tiger), but still fairly strong. If you're looking for a coffee that you can drink everyday, I would try this coffee. Jetfuel, Donut shop, Black tiger, etc. are good for a while, but I got tired of them after a few days. I only drink those cups as breaks between my standby's (Kona and Organic). As far as "extra bold" goes, the cups definitely have a lot of coffee in them. A little bit of coffee spills out of all of the extra bold coffee people cups.
"Our new favorite" 2009-09-20
By J. Myers (BENNINGTON, VT)
Delicious! Smooth, not bitter. I do not detect any hazelnut taste as previous reviewer spoke about.
"coffee for people who like coffee" 2009-11-17
By Fredric Gruder (LI NY)
I love the Coffee People K Cups particularly the Kona Blend and Donut Shop. Kona has real coffee flavor with a complex taste. Unlike many of the pod type coffees, it is not weak.
"A brew for real coffee drinkers - bold yet smooth" 2010-04-26
By Ancoro Imparo (Boston, MA)
Love this brew. As of late seem to gravitate to it more frequently then my other all time favorites, Donut Shop Coffee from Coffee People, Columbian from Diedrich and Hazelnut from Gloria Jean's. Each of these and my latest find, Kona Blend from Coffee People respond to my desire for rich, flavorful, coffee. And with the 50-pack frustration-free packaging, I am assured a convenient and reasonably priced source of terrific coffee to feed my Keurig and satisfy my palate. Enjoy!
"This one sets the bar for Kona Blend!" 2009-12-01
By Gregory S. Buck (Orange County, CA)
This is the best Kona blend for K-cups I have ever had. I don't know what "extra Bold" means, but it isnt extra strong. It's just right! I have a B-60 Keurig and I use the middle button. It gives 8 oz. of the Best kona blend this side of Hawaii.Just the aroma of that Keurig pouring into the cup will get your juices flowing! Buy this....you can't miss!

Pampers Baby-Dry Diapers, Economy Plus Pack Review.
"Best diaper on the market for the past decade!" 2009-03-17
By Luzu (Tennessee)
I am a stay at home Mom with 4 children. I have been buying diapers for the past almost 11 years and Pampers Baby Dry is hands down the best diaper on the market, and believe me I have tried them all! All of my kids have been "super soakers" when it comes to pee. These diapers way out perform any other brand including major brands and department store brands. The major selling points for me are:
1. They are thin, easy to pack 5 in a diaper bag.
2. Easy to unfold with one hand (if you, like me frequently have to use the other hand to keep baby still)
3. tabs are easily opened without extra unfolding and don't rip off like several other brands.
4. Doesn't leave residue on baby or smell like pee when really soaked.
5. wider in the front to prevent baby from peeing out the side (and my kids are experts at this)
One thing that may be helpful is to remember that Pampers fit better on children that are long and skinny. If your baby is short and really chubby in the bottom, then Huggies will fit your baby better. This, I believe, explains the few complaints about Pampers not fitting or leaking.
Hope this review was helpful!
"Best diapers out there!" 2008-06-20
By T. Ellis (Ogden, UT)
When our first child was born we tried every diaper at the store. We couldn't get a diaper to last him through the night without leaking. Pampers was the only diaper that would not leak through night. I prefer the green box to the purple box (cruisers) because the purple box diapers leave some gel looking residue on the baby's skin. We are now onto our second child and he just turned two. We still swear by Pampers diapers. I agree that their wipes aren't as good as Huggies.
"~*~EVERY BRAND OF DIAPER LEAKS/EXPLODES AT SOME POINT BUT PAMPERS ARE THE BEST~*~" 2009-11-30
By Mommy of Cuties M & Z (USA)
My girls are 13 months old so I have had a LOT of experience with many different brands of diapers as well as diaper problems. Pampers Swaddlers & Pampers Baby Dry are our favorite and work better for us than any other brand.
We've tried:
*Luvs-terrible, leaky diaper, may as well flush your money down the toilet if you buy these
*CVS brand-terrible, leaky diaper, someone told us they worked well but they don't
*Parents Choice-okay but always leaked at night or on car rides
*Huggies-okay/good. When my girls were wearing size 1-2 we switched from Pampers to Huggies since they were cheaper & Huggies is a good brand. Most of the time Huggies were fine BUT on a regular basis they were leaking at night or on car rides. Once my girls started wearing size 3, the overnight leaks grew more and more and so did the car ride leaks(and not a long car ride) My girls are 17lbs & 20lbs and it seemed like there was not enough material on the front part that goes over their legs/sides of belly. After about a week straight of my daughter waking up completely soaked from her leaky Huggie, we switched back to Pampers.
*Pampers Swaddlers-WONDERFUL for a newborn. My girls were Preemies when they were born & the hospital put them in newborn size Swaddlers folded way over. They were big on my girls but since they are so soft & flexible it was not a problem. We LOVED the Swaddlers.
*Pampers Baby Dry-WONDERFUL once they outgrow Swaddlers. As I stated EVERY brand of diaper will leak or explode at sometime but with Pampers it happens way less often. Since I switched from Huggies where I dealt with a leaky or exploded diaper EVERY single night & EVERY single car ride with 1 of my daughters, I have had 1 diaper explosion from Pampers. My daughter drinks a 10oz bottle before bed so she does pee a LOT. Every car ride since switching to Pampers has been a dry one. In the mornings these diapers are full but the sides of my daughters outfits around the legs are dry-unlike the huggies where even if the diaper didn't leak, the side/legs of the diaper were damp and would always get my daughters outfits damp. Pampers also have more material so they are easy to get them to fit around my daughters legs/sides of belly. Pampers are also softer than any other diaper & more flexible. They also smell good!
Hands down Pampers are the BEST Diaper on the market and the only ones we'll ever use again...unless someone else comes out with something better.
Also, I've seen some people say that Huggies work better than Pampers if you have a chubby baby. I disagree. When one of my daughters was younger she was short & really chubby & the Pampers fit her better than anything else...they have the most material to go around the belly & are the most flexible.
BabiesRus has the cheapest price for diapers & you can use coupons.
Pampers may usually be more expensive than other brands but to have a happier & dry baby is WELL worth it. Not to mention washing sheets, clothes & car seat covers adds to the cost of the other diapers.
"These are Great" 2010-04-03
By Ann Hoffman (Concord, CA)
These diapers retain wetness and don't leak out the sides. For all those hard players who don't have time to have a diaper change. They are soft and don't bunch up. They are comfortable for the babies' bottoms. The straps don't tear off like other ones. What a waist that is! Don't you hate the diapers that don't do the job? I do. After I started buying these, we've had no more accidents. When you buy Pampers baby diapers, you don't have to worry and you get your moneys worth. And they are easy to put in diaper bags, so no more stuffing them till they are bursting at the seams. These are great!
"Great diapers! Be careful how you fasten the front at night!" 2010-06-07
By Jason in CA (San Gabriel, CA)
These diapers work great. We rarely have any leaks except the first time we used the diaper overnight. At nighttime, make sure to fasten the tapes as high as possible across the front of the diaper. There is a lot of absorbent material in the front of the diaper. If you fasten the tapes to low, the top of the diaper tends to roll over exposing some of the absorbent material and your baby's clothes will get wet if they pee a lot at night. This is not an issue for us during the day because we change the diapers often enough that it does not get as saturated.

Coffee People, Donut Shop K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.
"Great Coffee--competetive price!" 2009-06-27
By Civ
I've had my Keurig brewer for 5 months and have tried a lot of brands and the Coffee People Donut Shop regular is among my favorites. Green Mountain Nantucket Blend and Timothy's Italian Blend are also favorites.
One reviewer remarked about Subscribe & Save costing less. It's only a dollar and a few pennies cheaper than this packaging and Subscribe and Save does not offer Donut Shop "regular" but instead has "Extra Bold". Also, this packaging gives you 50 k-cups as opposed to 48 (2) 24 count packages in Subscribe & Save.
Another reviewer complained about not having the standard boxes to dispense the coffee. I purchased a K-Cup carousel, available on Amazon for $19.95 that holds 26 k-cups; it looks nicer by my Keurig than cardboard boxes.
"My Favorite K-Cup" 2009-06-27
By Robert Clark (Garden Grove, ca USA)
My favorite K-Cup flavor! A mild rather than a strong coffee strength, it really has a flavor reminiscent of a local donut shop or Denny's cup of coffee.
Highly recommended!
"My Favorite by a Landslide so Far" 2009-12-24
By Stephen M. Guilliat (St. Clair, Michigan)
I must admit that I have gone a little overboard with my k-cup sampling. So far I must have tried about 50 different blends. OVerall I must say that the vast majority of them have been pleasant, better than what I used to make in my coffee brewer. Then I tried the Donut Shop brand. When I first tried this I was not expecting much, it sounds bland, plain, everyday type of coffee. Don't get me wrong, I have had some pretty good cups of coffee in donut shops but nothing to write home about. When I took my first sip, I thought wow, this is amazing. Smooth, not much of an acid taste, about as close to perfect as I could describe. My love for this k-cup continued and continues to this day. Many times you find a k-cup which at first is very good, but after a couple of cups you get a little sick of them; not with this one. It has been and continues to be my absolute favorite. I will still search for something better, but I doubt I will find it. I hope you like -- no strike that -- I hope you love this coffee as much as I do.
"A perfect "Anytime" coffee that is sure to please." 2009-09-14
By D. Morrow (Temecula, CA)
I have tried many, many brands and blends in my Keurig coffee maker and this is definetely one of my favorites. The type of coffe I drink depends on my mood. Sometimes I want a strong, bold cup like, Newman's Own Extra-bold Special Blend K-cups, 80 Pk for Keurig Brewers and sometimes I want something more mild like, Green Mountain K-Cup Single-Serving Coffee 108-ct.- Nantucket Blend But ever since I have had my Keurig I have been looking for one of my favorite coffees. The Dunkin Donut brand.
This coffee is superb and very much like the Dunkin Donut brand. Not bold or bitter. Not weak or under flavored. It is smooth and very flavorful. It is the perfect crowd pleasing blend for any time of day or night.
I have shopped all over and you can't beat the variety or the price here on Amazon when you join their club. A great value.
I do wish that Amazon would change the name by removing "Extra Bold". It is not. It is, at most, a medium roast. Even when brewed with the smallest setting of the Keurig I would not concider it bold. It comes out great on the medium size setting. Very remanicent of that great cup of Joe you would get in the old days at your favorite diner.
"Save Money & Get great Coffee" 2009-08-09
By JPM (Travels the USA)
This coffee is exactly what you would get at a coffee shop. Sweet and aromatic, not bitter or too bold. I like the pack of 50 and it comes in one box, so there is no waste of packaging or more trash to throw away. If they only made a box of with 100... We love the K-Cups and get great consistent coffee every day without wasting half a pot. My favs are Timothy's German Chocolate (desert coffee!), Donut Shop (mid Morning) and Emeril's Big Bold Easy (first thing in the morning!).
