Dollar General Pull-ups Campaign (Linqia)

Kalen is being double potty trained---at home and at school. He is also learning how to wash his hands (succeeded); learning how to flush the toilet (succeeded), and  pulling up his clothes after toileting (mostly a success). One thing, I need is the right training pants. I start buying training pants last year once his school started potty training him. The teacher wanted the parents to be on the same page. I had to make the switch from buying diapers to buying Pull-ups.

The main brand, I have been using is Pull-ups Training Pants. The pants come in multiple sizes and multiple designs. Kalen just started wearing the 3Ts. I buy two bags per month--one for home and one for school.

Dollar General has digital coupons now. You can download the Dollar General App or sign up through the website to load coupons.

You can save money on your bathroom and general cleaning needs by downloading one of the many coupons. I recently visited a DG in my area. I was surprised at the size and selection of the store. I don't live in a DG territory. I have two Family Dollars in the area and two Dollar Trees, which takes about 15-20 minutes to drive to. We had a DG but it closed down recently, but a new one just opened up. The store had plenty of Scott paper products. I am still working through my rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Normally, paper towels only last a few days in this household and toilet paper, a while, since I am the only potty trained person, who uses the bathroom.

The toilet paper is soft and absorbent.

The store also has bonus packs, available until February, 2016. You can purchase one of the following bonus packs:

1. SCOTT® 1000 Bath Tissue, 16 pack (2 Free Rolls)
2. SCOTT® Choose-A-Sheet Paper Towels, Mega Roll 6 Pack (Bonus 15% Sheets)
3. SCOTT® Extra Soft Bath Tissue, Double Roll 16 pack (2 Free Rolls)

My Scott/DG Story

I went to my local DG (which was a new location) and I was shocked. I haven't been to a Dollar General in a while. My neighborhood is Family Dollar territory. You have to make a special trip to go to Dollar General, which is about 15 minutes out. The store was big and had a wide selection of items, including Scott Products. The food aisle was massive, especially the refrigerated and frozen section. Customer service was excellent as well. If I had more time and money, I could have had a mini shopping spree at DG.

So far, I have used the paper towels for general cleaning and cleaning noses. The toilet paper is soft and massive. I am still on the first roll of both the paper towels and toilet paper.

#TryImpressaPoise Impressa Campaign (Linqia)

Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by Linqia. I will receive $10 at the end of the campaign for reimbursement of the sizing kit.

Poise has developed a new way to control light bladder leakage and urinary incontinence. The LBL market has many options, which include pads and adult undies. Some people also use water proof undies, not to mention regular menstrual pads and pantiliners. 

The Poise Impressa Sizing Kit is a bladder support, similar to a tampon, for light bladder leakage. The sizing kit comes with 2 of each size, 1, 2, and 3. Each bladder support comes with an smooth plastic applicator for insertion. The applicator does require a little push. The difference between a regular tampon and the Impressa is the top of the support is a little wider and squarer to prevent leaks. 

Impressa can prevent leaks up to 8 hours per day. Leaks can occur from exercise, laughing, sneezing, heavy lifting, etc. 

For me, I experience leakage when laughing, cleaning up, and dealing with the kids. I normally use pantiliners or menstrual pads for leakage. 

#TryImpressa today. I got my kit from Amazon (prime-eligible) but the kit is also sold at Walmart and other stores. Availability varies. 

Click here to get a downloadable coupon for $2 off an Poise Impressa Sizing Kit. Use the coupon to find your perfect fit and then continue to purchase the correct size box of your size in the future.

#RecycleYourPeriodPad Poise Campaign (Linqia)

This post was sponsored by Linqia for a Poise Campaign. This post also contains Linqia Affiliate Links.



For the #RecycleYourPeriodPad Campaign, I had trouble deciding what to make. Aunt flo also showed up this week and Kalen just happened to rip one of my pads and tried to destroy it.

I made a bracelet with a bow and a breast cancer awareness pin.

I took one of my Always Infinity Pads. Drew some orange drops to represent  jewelry. I also painted the background purple. Next, I pinned a breast cancer awareness pin in the middle. Finally, I took the green backing, ripped it in two, and hot glued both pieces to the back to the pad, and made a bow with both pieces.

The purpose for the campaign:

Many people, including me, uses period pads for light bladder leakage, instead of a product designed for light bladder leakage, such as Poise. My mother is notorious for this too. She had a hysterectomy years ago. She no longer has a cycle but she still buys period pads for light bladder leakage.

According to the media kit, 1: 3 women experience light bladder leakage (LBL), but using a LBL pad offers a dryness, not offered by a period pad. LBL is for LBL pads, not period pads.

Poise has designed a new thin-shape pad, which is 40% thinner than the original brand pads. The new thin shape pads are designed for light bladder leakage. The thin-shape pads are designed to move with your body. The pads also feature SAM (super absorbent material) and a thin flex design, which is  3x drier than a period pad.

The campaign wants women to turn a few of their period pads into a project such as a bracelet or a floor cleaner, or a headband to help them to remember period pads are not for LBL.
