Takeaway: Dark, thick material, easy to install and clean. Very good light blocking capability.

In the room where I will use these curtains, the current curtains, which were advertised as blackout curtains, don’t really do a great job at keeping out sunlight; lightbleeds straight through them at direct angles and out the sides as well. In addition, the white UV blocking layer on the back side of the old curtains, which is this rubbery coating on the window side has started to degrade and flake off in some places making this curtain even less effective impossible to clean without further damaging this layer.

The Turquoize brand curtains carry a generous 8 year warranty, and I ordered the 42” width by 63” length drapes. They are shipped as pairs and I got the teal color with oil-rubber bronze metal grommets. The size of the panels are accurate to their stated measurements both in length and width. The material is a thick, high-quality polyester with a satin-like feel and the stitch quality is straight, even, and consistent. These curtains are machine washable in cold water and can also be tumble dried on low and ironed. There are eight grommets on top of each panel, with a clear front and back side, that can accommodate up to 1.5” diameter curtain rods. When placing on the curtain rod, you’ll want to pass through the front side of the first grommet and then through the opposite side of the next grommet alternately in a wave pattern. We’ll use two panels per window for adequate side coverage and edge light blocking.

The difference between the old and new curtains around noon on a sunny day was like night and day (pun intended). With the new curtains up, even with the interior light on, the room is darker, and there is very little sunlight bleeding in from the window. These also aid in thermal insulation, keeping the room cooler in summer months. Overall, these work very well as blackout curtains and look and feel much higher quality than my old curtains.

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.

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
