These are the rechargeable batteries of the future.
These actually come pre-charged because they hold their power just like a regular battery…only these can be used a thousand times. Like other rechargeables their energy capacity is higher than standard batteries but unlike those other rechargeables they do not lose their energy over time. This gives them the best of the rechargeable world and the best of the non-rechargeable world. There is absolutely no reason to purchase another battery on the market…if you do you´re throwing away your money. Great for travel, we haven’t had any problems recharging these batteries around the world- currents be damned!
These can be purchased from several places and often include a battery charger …

There are other, fancier Steri-pen models on the market but we chose this one because it uses AA batteries, which we can recharge easily on the road. The safety features included in this device can make it difficult to use at times, but they’re safety features, so can we really complain?
When the SteriPEN doesn’t adequately clean the water it tells you this with a series of …

Your first question may be why purchase an unscented deodorant? That answer is simple, smell too nice and the mosquitoes will come your way. So when I was presented with a choice of Mitchum, which I’d used just fine before, and Tom’s of Maine, I chose to give Tom’s a try.
The deodorant itself did something, but I’m not sure what. The burning sensation I had in my armpits when using this Tom’s Deodorantwas painful and did not go away as quickly as I would have liked. The packaging was also sub-par in that it broke rather quickly and I could no longer rotate the screw at the bottom to make more “stick” available for use. …
