Hi oh hi ...Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese it's Cathycat and duckies welcome to the ducky
never mind today we're gonna go and talk about 100 yen store items that
you should and should not get so watch out for those and let's check them out
Look at them cute Hello Kitty bandaids in case you have an
injury... Hello Kitty bandaids there to help you ... NO... well I actually have those
at home and let's be honest they're cute as a decoration and they're cute if you have like
a tiny little thing but you if you actually injured yourself and you're actually bleeding
they might not be the right choice... first of all there is no breathing space usually many of
the band-aids have like a breathing space with little dots on so the skin can breathe there's
none of that, and it's literally just like a bit of tape and a little bit of gauze in the middle
and that's it and even the gauze looks like it's made out of plastic so I cannot not really
recommend it for your safety also it goes off really easily that it doesn't even hurt so um
yeah I have I have similar ones just as decorations for like
dressing up decora style and stuff but I wouldn't use them on wounds anything that's medical
I wouldn't be getting from the 100 Yen store you just you know when it's medical
it's about your body and your body goes first and you want to be safe so spend a little bit
more and take good care of yourself if you can and get yourself some proper band-aids
Next one here are nail clippers, I think I have one of those and I was always wondering
why my nails would end up so bad yeah I really can't recommend them same goes for for scissors
same goes for knives all these kind of things everything that has a blade, also they might get
rusty very very quickly as well and if you really need one of those items in your life
maybe spend a little bit more and get one from a drugstore. And these ones here they're supposed to
help you like you know file your nails into shape, that doesn't do anything for me
like it damages the nail more than it helps, I'm not sure why they put it on there - director: "Try it"
get yourself like a separate one... I mean it does something but i'm not sure if that's
actually gonna be good for my nail in the long run... it's like you're applying
you know the stuff that you use for woodwork... we could use that on a branch "It's a branch?"
Did we already start?
One of the things you should maybe go and try or you can try in 100 yen store are these ones
my eyes right now are getting hot they're heating up to about 400 degrees no 40 degrees for 20
minutes... oh I feel it already these ones are like sleep masks that you like they smell good they
heat up your eyes and they're supposed to relax you and you can see my voice is dropping a low
level here... oh man this is so relaxing um they sell them sets of five in a normal drugstore but
if you just want to test them out or if you just need one you know when you're staying somewhere
over or you're on a trip and you just want to relax a little bit these ones are really good uh
I had one of those last night and helped me sleep so
yay.... oh listen to my voice getting lower and lower as we speak
Oh man I am so super relaxed right now...
Here we go: washing nets are a real cool thing that you can get in 100 in store and they have
different designs different sizes we found a cat one how adorable is this one? And this one is there
to protect your vulnerable things so it might be your lacy... there we go might be for
your lacy knickers or similar things like that so they don't get damaged in the wash, those
ones are really convenient and they have them in all kinds of like designs and patterns and sizes
and I must say I use them pretty much every time I do my wash because I have a lot of
sensitive clothing as you might guess so it always has to get bagged or double bagged
to survive the wash and protect the fabrics
director "In Japan many people use them to wash their face masks"
And the director just said recently in Japan some people actually use their face mask
when they wash their face masks and put them into a net before they wash them to keep them
safe and from breaking... there's a lot of cloth face masks these days as well
so these ones also wander into these little washing nets laundry nets...
Next one here is the "easy sealer" now personally I haven't used this one yet but I want to try
this out with you guys because this is like always in the top of the things that they sell
at the hundred Yen store... it's called "easy sealer" and it's supposed to help you reseal your food
let's try this...
and now?
How does this start?
So wow .....your potato chips would all get all horrible and
if you didn't close them up properly so you can put little pins and stuff on top but apparently
this is the 100 Yen store number one and you're supposed to be able to re-seal... let's do this
okay so what are we gonna have this thing here and then put it here
then we move it over...
i'm not sure if I'm too fast or too slow.... slowly .... slowly slowly did that do anything at all??
Oh my god.... it sealed it.... it's closed it's reclosed I can't
I did not expect that okay that worked way better than I thought it would
It's actually really hard to open now... ah there we go
I can open it again from the sides and there we go... you can see the line where the
the heat melted the the bag so it could close it and reseal it ...ready to get snacked another day
It's kind of addictive now....
This year in Japan they finally changed a rule because you used to be getting so many plastic bags in every store
they changed it now they are charged for, which means the the season of the eco bags as they call it
has now started and this one here is the one specific eco bag that's pretty cool because usually shop
assistants would pack your items into the plastic bags that they provided which there are generally not allowed to do with normal eco
bags but this one here is different this eco bag here is the size and the shape of
the shopping baskets... so what you do is you let the staff know at the supermarket that you brought
one of these, you set that into the basket in which they move the things over to when they do their
calculations and then in the end you just pick it up and go.... let me show you how that is done
Take it off the sides now...
pull the thing closed and 3..2..1... TADA!
We used this now to bring all of our shopping here however this one
is not 100 yen that was 300 yen at Daiso but yeah I'm
really impressed how convenient that one is so convenient you don't even have to pack anymore
and it's a whole lot cheaper than buying stuff like that from disneyland or the disney store
Bathroom items! So some items might not be good for your skin but some items are
totally fine so for example we have one here it's kirby and it's actually okay from bandai
and it changes your water into pink how cute is that and they have a lot of cute
bath bombs they even have some where you have like little dinosaurs toys inside afterwards
for the kids and then they're like some relaxing ones for the parents so if you
are on the go and you just want to have like a nice bath maybe in your hotel or in your room at
home those ones are cute and this one here... it's like an exfoliating glove so let's get this
These ones are actually I would say more for when you go to an onsen... in the onsen you feel very hot
you sweat a lot and if you use this after you just got out of the onsen it will really exfoliate your
skin like visibly visibly it's crazy it's amazing so if you have the right kind of material it will
literally make your your skin so much better these ones are amazing if you go to an onsen but
you have to have heated your body up enough for this to do its magic effect but yeah those ones
it's interesting it's kind of a bit gross but you know shower afterwards before you then keep
going to the onsen but exfoliating I tell you guys I tell you it's good
And one of the absolutely amazing ones if you live in Japan or if you just travel to Japan i've
been buying these ones ever since the first time I came to Japan at these ones these vacuum bags here
Oh there's two okay... they come in different sizes some of them you don't need a vacuum
for some of them you can just do by hand and let's see maybe we should do an example
So you can tell even with this doing this by hand it shrunk down quite a lot inside maybe
a quarter maybe and if you actually have a vacuum it makes it even more effective and depending on
the material especially fluffy winter coats or towels you can make them so small and compact
for traveling that's great and what I also do with this I do this for my summer winter clothes
so when I want to have them stored away and want to make sure they are like sealed up so nothing
can get to them and at the same time also take less space I use these ones as well they're like
life savers and that for a hundred yen they do sell these in travel stores and similar things
like that but the're at 100 Yen. So guys and girls that was it from Ask Japanese not
