Facebook companies

[Lily]

There are loads of companies advertising on Facebook, some of which I have tried over the last couple of years. Some are appalling and some are great. Share your experiences here!

Heist Tights
Very happy with them - would recommend. Good customer service too.

Snag Tights
Cheaper than Heist and in more interesting colours. However, every bloody pair I have makes an embarrassing squeak where my thighs rub together.

Born Nouli
I tried some yoga leggings from them. They were fine but I decided I like my yoga stuff to be looser and softer. I did find the leggings a bit tight in the crotch although I'd taken the size they recommended.

Boody
Wonderfully soft brilliant amazing lovely fabulous comfy clothes. I have got some loungewear, pants and pyjamas.

Raipanu
Fair trade organic cotton T-shirts and stuff. Good quality.

Alice's Pig
I really wanted to like their stuff but it's all a bit small and twee and boho.

Piglet in Bed
I treated myself to a sheet :heybigspender: as they have an offer on. It is so delicious to sleep on and the whole parcel is a real treat. But yes, it has to be one heck of a treat!

Smol
Their stuff did work but I only have a small dishwasher and you can't cut their tablets in half. I would recommend though.

Modibodi
The best period pants I have tried. Really good.

Tulip Panties
Cheap and nasty.

I have used Rapanui and found them to be excellent. And I use Smol for washing machine capsules and again I am very happy with them.

I am intrigued by Piglet in a Bed though, tell me more!

[Topcat]

Most of those read like really bad fetish sites.

[Livilla]

I use Smol's laundry capsules and am very happy with them (I sound like a 50s housewife!)

[Tits McGee]

Most of those read like really bad fetish sites.

I keep meaning to try Snag tights. I love the colours. The squeak doesn’t sound ideal, but I’m guessing it’s one of those things that isn’t especially noticeable to other people. Unless they’re very near your crotch.

I haven't heard of lots of these, it is funny how they target people differently.

I can't remember any and rarely try them but I did try FFS (Friction Free Shaving) which was a subscription to razor blades and shaving gel. I cancelled because their boxes were too wide to fit through a standard letterbox (by about 1cm... A big tiny error on their part) so I had to go to collect it every month which kind of defeated the point of a letterbox subscription and it left me with loads of very very itchy stubble rather than being a smooth shave.

I struggle with trust for lots of these companies because the reviews are always overwhelmingly positive and they seem to have some control over posts and remove any negative feedback which I find really dishonest and misleading.

I also wouldn’t buy anything advertised on Facebook.

[Lily]

The positive Trevor thing was why I thought a thread might be useful in case someone was thinking of buying from one but wasn't sure. There's a lot of mainstream companies who advertise on there too; there's a lot of dross but there are some real gems, small independent companies I'm really glad I've stumbled across.

I forgot to mention

Turtle Doves
They do stuff in recycled cashmere and I've bought so many as gifts (and err some for myself). They're the first company I bought from who I saw advertised on there.

Sosander
I think a few of us have tried them out? I didn't find any of their stuff flattering or particularly nice and it was very expensive.

[H1ppychick]

I have bought Turtle Doves too, Lily! I’ve worn the purple mittens I bought to death and they’re now really shredded all along the part between the thumb and index finger. I unpicked the seams last month to try and trim the damaged part and re-sew them up again, but haven’t got round to it yet. I also used them as a template to make various pairs myself which I gave away as gifts a year or so ago.

I then got scammed by a Chinese FB company over a smart watch a couple of years ago - they advertised a really nice Michael Kors one but what arrived was a shitty mass-market piece of trash worth about £2. I managed to get a refund via my credit card, but it’s put me off trying anything since, so personal recommendations are very useful.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I bought a solar buddy roll on suncream dispenser (you fill it yourself). It was a good idea but the rubber/foam bit pings off regularly.

[Lily]

That's the kind of thing I'm thinking about: it sounds good, but in reality it's not that great!

I wear my Turtle Doves even when it's not cold because they're comforting.

Snag tights are amazing. I have some yellow ones and some red ones too. I've decided to lean into the slightly-mad-fat-public-sector-worker aesthetic.

[Lily]

Do yours squeak?

[Dáire]

Rapanui are mainstream, I reckon, they're sold at a number of other outlets.

I just get hilarious Wish ads.

[Ruby]

Do yours squeak?

No. They're the best tights in the world.

[Lily]

Maybe I have squeaky thighs.

[Lily]

I have tried Myrtle & Soap. Their packages were very pretty but I find the body lotion I bought didn't moisturise particularly well.

[Lily]

Lovato candles took their time sending me an order, but their stuff is reasonably priced and smells great!

[Topcat]

Smol seem to be good, I've been using them for ages now.

Splosh isn't so great. I think it's expensive for what you're getting, really.

[Tsu]

I've tried Heist but they cut me in half and roll down like every other tights I've ever worn. Snag never have the size/colour combination I want in stock when I look.
