Takeaway: Strong magnetic hold, easy and fast connect/disconnect; doesn't work with all phone cases.

You'll get a 40" rubber cable with aluminum connectors and two magnetic swap-able tips for microUSB and Lightning ports. The small connectors are designed to stay plugged into your device for a quick and easy magnetic connection. Bringing the magnet end close to one of the tips causes them to stick together and make a connection. If it doesn't seat right, just press gently on the connection and it will snap into place. It works the same way for both magnetic tips and the magnet works from either side so you don't have to worry about which side is up. The metal casing on the connectors seems durable and below them is a thick strain relief to prevent breakage and wear.

With the USB cord plugged into a power source, the LED on the magnetic connector shows green; when it snaps onto a tip to make a connection, it changes to red to show you that it is charging. The magnetic hold on the cable breaks away smoothly with a firm tug making connecting and disconnecting to the magnetic tips pretty quick.

Removing the tip is simple too, there's a notch on either side so you can get your fingernail between the tip and the edge, and you just pull straight out. With the Lightning tip I ran into a few issues with different phone cases. You'll need a little extra clearance in the charging port cutout to be able to use the cable, at least 1/2". The best case I found for use with the iPhone 7 is Moshi's Kameleon case, which has a pretty wide cutout for the Lightning port. It's got just enough extra leeway for the connector to fit in over the magnetic tip.

Overall, the cable works pretty well for charging and is easy to connect and disconnect, but if you'll be using a case, make sure the opening for the port is at least ½" in order for the connector to make the connection properly.

Vava Egg Shaped Kids Baby Night Light Review Buy it at Amazon: Vava Egg Shaped Kids Baby Night Light [Affiliate Link] Takeaway: Cute nightlight, several modes, good range of brightness level/color temps, long run-time. You'll receive the light, a microUSB charging cable, a small metal carabiner, and an instruction manual. This light is cutely egg-shaped and is made of plastic with a solid white base and a translucent white top. On the front you have the Vava logo and a small indicator LED and on the back you have the charging port hidden behind a rubber door. The unit takes about 5 hours to fully charge and the LED blinks blue quickly while charging. Once fully charged can last for up to 80 hours or about 10 consecutive nights at 8 hours each. What's nice about this night light is that once it is charged, it is portable and can be placed in different rooms and doesn't need to be near an outlet. It's also IP65 water resistant rated and is able to get wet. On the bottom

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review Buy it at Amazon: Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs [Affiliate Link] Takeaway: Sheer, revealing, soft and comfortable, very low profile and lightweight with enhancement bands in front. You'll receive 8 pairs of underwear in different colors: blue, orange, yellow, red, hot pink, black, white and cyan. The underwear is made from a sheer nylon spandex blend with a mesh weave. The front pouch is framed by elastic bands and stretches to accommodate larger endowments, but does require some adjustments and manual finagling; it could use some more room in general. However, the bands lift and accentuate your package for a fuller look. While there's a seam down the middle of the pouch, it's smooth and you can barely feel it. The waist band is 1" wide and stretches quite a bit. Note that the more the material stretches, the more transparent it becomes. In back, you'll get full coverage for your backside, and it will stretch to accommodate your curve
