I have tried a number of waterproof sheets, mattress protectors and disposable bed pads while trying to get my son out of pull up pants and dry at nights, my daughter was no problem but I have had real problems with my son.

When I received a single bed sheet from Bedding Industrial to try, I was unsure what the results would be. However, from the moment I opened the parcel I was impressed. The sheet was very soft material and the waterproof film covers the back of the sheet, no separation between the two layers, and no noise or rattle from the waterproof layer as is the case on many waterproof sheets I have tried.

The sheet fitted the bed well, there was plenty of material to cover the corners - it would fit a thick mattress very well and grip the corners well. The sheet was very soft and comfortable to lie on and there was no rustling heard when lay on, as some waterproof sheets or mattress protectors I have used in the past do.

Following an accident in the night, the sheet had done as promised. I had only the sheet on the bed and the mattress was bone dry! There was however, no wetness lying on top of the sheet although wet to the touch.

It was washed in the washing machine along with the other bedding and came out of the washing machine in the same condition as it went in. The sheet and waterproof film were still as one layer, a problem i have incurred previously on other products.

The sheet can be tumble dried and came out of the tumble dryer with no bobbling, another problem I have experienced previously.

The price appears to be high compared to a single bed sheet (£29.00), however, I do think that this sheet is worth it, compared to the number of disposable bed pads and a waterproof bed pad I was using before. They can be bought in many sizes from moses basket up to king size sheets.

The advertising literature for the sheets also promotes its hypo-allergenic qualities and also the eco-friendly manufacturing processes which is very important in this modern world. Another plus for this product.

The material is also breathable which helps prevent overheating of the child at sleep times.

I would definitely recommend this product to parents of children who are in nappies at night or those who are trying to come out of nappies through the night.

Thank you to B.Sensible and PJ Partnership for sending me this to try.

Lyclear Mousse


About the lotion – The leaflet says it is a double action formula and it “suffocates and dehydrates lice and eggs “
You spray it onto dry hair and leave for 15 minutes , wash off , then comb the hair through to get rid of the eggs and lice .
The leaflet also states that as there are no pesticides the lice can’t become resistant to the lotion !

With two children aged 8 and 6, and myself volunteering in the school early years department, aswell as a children's centre, headlice are often present in our household! We have tried many of the solutions on the market, aswell as the conditioner combed through the hair every night for a week and have found some work well, while others do not appear to work.

I was sent Lyclear Mousse to review, there was also an option for a spray, however these affect my husbands chest and so declined that option.
Upon opening the box, I was surprised to find how small the bottle was - I have very thick hair, as does my son and my daughter has finer hair, while my husband's is very short and so I could not see the bottle lasting to treat us all. The bottle only did mine, my daughters and my husbands hair for one application each.
The bottle has a new design
nozzle which, at the start, was very good, however when we got further into the application we found it to be harder to press as the bottle got greasy and slippery.
The solution was not highly fragranced - something which i like because i hate to think other parents know that you have treated headlice over teh weekend! However, the solution was very greasy and when we came to washing it out it took many washes and rinses to get the hair looking ok - it looked very greasy, no matter how many rinses we gave it.
There was also a nit comb included within the box which was also a new design - my son prefered this style of comb, however it was useless in my thick hair, goes nowhere near the roots of my hair.
The solution states that it 'suffocates and dehydrates eggs and lice' however when combing the hair through and washing out the shampoo we found lice that were still alive.

In summary, the good points to the solution were that it was lightly frangranced. However, the bad points were that the solution was very greasy, took many washes to rinse out, the bottle got slippery and difficult to apply the solution and did not get rid of all the eggs and lice.

Thank you to Virgo Health for the sample bottles.
I would give this product 2 stars.
