Takeaway: Decent shield for small studios, easy to setup and use, panels are not vented in back.

When you first receive the unit there are a few pieces to assemble, but it’s pretty straightforward. The shield features 1.75"" thick egg carton foam absorption panels on the front but isn’t vented in the back so you may experience some reflections within the shield itself. The shield includes a standard 3/8” threaded mic mount with 5/8” adapter; the mount arm swivels left/right and the distance from the shield can be adjusted as well. The foam panels when fully opened measure 12.5” tall and 11” in diameter from the center point. The mount weighs just under 9 lbs so if you do use a stand or boom, make sure it can support the weight (needs to be heavy duty). Otherwise, you can set the shield on a table since the feet have foam pads on the bottom to keep the unit from sliding. I wasn't particularly happy with the foam pads on the feet nor the clamps on the mount because they feel thin and flimsy. I would have preferred rubber pads with a stronger adhesive. When using the isolation shield, recorded sound is a bit duller and flatter but clearer, as well, with a lot less background noise. In most cases an isolation shield will improve the sound quality for your recordings, but it really depends on the final sound that you’re looking for. Overall, the shield here does a decent job blocking noise and reducing reverb, though it’s a little on the small side, so there is still some bleeding of noise around the edges of the shield and the noise floor isn’t particularly low, but definitely lower with the shield than without.

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
