Takeaway: Easy to use and take measurements, clear scale but lines are close together.

I got this unit to measure the sugar content and estimate the ABV of my homemade rice wine since when making rice wine you cannot take a "before" hydrometer reading since the sugars and liquid are locked up in the cooked rice grains. It can also be used when making beer or fruit wine, and I plan on using it on my next batch to compare it to the ABV results I get from hydrometer readings. This will also help me determine how accurate the tool is. I got this "high" scale one as opposed to the ones that only measure to the 30s and 40s because I wasn't sure how high the Brix in sweet rice wine would be; turns out I could have gone with a lower scale but perhaps this larger scale will come in handy if I decide to take up beekeeping for measuring the Brix of honey. I also can't wait to try it out on my orchard's fruit crop this coming harvest season.

I like that the refractometer needs only a few drops of sample to take the reading versus the large amount of liquid I need to extract from my brew to take measurements with the hydrometer. I found the scale bright and clear enough when holding the prism up to the light but the lines are quite close together, so it takes a bit of patience to get the right focus and position to take a reading. The unit is easy to use and clean and the protective carrying case is nice to have for storage.

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
