Cinnamon Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 A product you LOVE is discontinued? This happened to me a couple of years ago when the John Frieda beach Blonde range which had 'Ocean Waves', a coconutty sea spray that made my hair all beachy & hippyish was withdrawn. The stuff is so popular that it goes for £20 a bottle on ebay now! Now I can't find the Lil-Lets heat soother patches anywhere,nor are they on their site, & they really helped with monthly pains for me & my girls. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, makes me mad it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 This happens to me and OH ALL THE TIME!! Its like to shops see what we like buying and think "Debs and Phil like that, lets discontinue it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 For me its perfumes that get discountinued I love Belles De Ricci and now I can't get it anywhere, and Virgin Vee used to do a lovely vanilla perfume that they discountinued. Now I can't find the Lil-Lets heat soother patches anywhere,nor are they on their site, & they really helped with monthly pains for me & my girls. Cinnamon - have you tried these instead: http://www.superliving.co.uk/pharmacy/your-health/pain/period-pain/cura-heat-period-pain-3-heat-packs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I know what you mean, my OH loves Ralph Lauren Romance for men but they have stopped selling it in this country, you can still buy it on ebay but of course have always got a doubt as to it's provenance.

Cinnamon Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Cinnamon - have you tried these instead: http://www.superliving.co.uk/pharmacy/your-health/pain/period-pain/cura-heat-period-pain-3-heat-packs.html I have,but they don't stick directly to your skin, so are much less effective My girls find the OK, but they are much less well upholstered tummy Wise than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes, I do sympathise, I hate it when that happens. All my life I've either been travel sick, or taken travel pills which turn me into a dim zombie for a day. Really bad, as if brain connections were cut, so I must have a funny reaction to the drug, yet I couldn't fly without them. This year, DS2 found one (Traveleze) which worked for us both with no ill effects beyond slight drowsiness. Having used the 1st packet for school trips, we can't find anywhere selling them. A local chemist is finding out if it's a supply problem or if they've been discontinued. ...and whatever happened to peppermint Instant Whip? PS....... just found a reference that Traveleze was (alledgedly) withdrawn after Sharon Matthews misused them on her abducted daughter...

Reikiranf Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 My ED and I used to use Robinsons heat pads there were 2 in a pack and we used to buy them for just under £2 in Savers, I don't know if Savers are still going though as my local one has closed. When we're at home we use wheatbags though they're only ok if you're sitting or laying down as they certainly wouldn't be discreet tucked in your underwear Amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 yes it is really annoying when something you like is discontinued, have had that problem a few times had a great shower gel/shampoo for chlorine and sea but it isn't made anymore and I struggle with sensitive skin so havent found a good replacement yet...

ubereglu Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I know this one-Body Shop are the worst for it I think. They discontinued all their kids stuff-only bringing it out at christmas times and most of the small bottles of things, (Only available in gift sets or during summer-but they were great stocking fillers).They also discontinued their lovely Watermelon aftersun, passion fruit face wash, Seaweed and Peony shampoo and conditioner and the banana conditioner which my sister really liked. Now they're really expensive as they only do huge bottles of things-which I can't afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 - see, told you it was popular! The first one has been replaced by another product, so I will do some digging & see if its available over here, although there is free shipping plus a mini straightner for orders over $85 edit - just found out its only available in the US, & they are charging $49.95 shipping!

Jules. Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I used to love Ponds Vanishing cream. It left my oily skin lovely & matte. It "vanished" a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Options Banana hot chocolate! It was a limited edition and they don't do it anymore I loved it when I was pregnant and stocked up but I only have one jar left now.... ....and it really is delicious! One of those things that you know you shouldn't like, that smells way toooo bananary and tastes like those banana sweets (the foamy ones) mixed with chocolate...but it just works, honest!

I found one on amazon for $149.99 surely thats not right. Do you know why is was discontinued because it seems to have a good following. I have seen a couple of similar products such as bumble bumble but at nearly £20 a bottle im not sure its worth it. I also saw a similar product called 'sedu beach spray' but cant find it in the shops to try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Like I said above ,Sedu is only available in the US unless you pay $49.95 shipping! The best alternative I have found is the Garnier sea spray, which is very good, has a super smell & is nearly as good as Ocean Waves was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's right, Traveleze were pink pastilles but contained over the counter anti nausea drug. However, I used Joyrides at the w/e, not chewy but small & you bite them, and they worked! DD said they were disgustering, but they're fine, it's just she preferred the other, they're easy to take. So I'll use Joyrides in future.
