Hello girlfriends and welcome to another episode of Tried and Tested.
Today we'll be trying out some products that seem really innovative
but how are useful are they?
So this is a set of fake teeth that is made with silicone.
You're supposed to wear it for an instantly, perfect smile.
It's like a set of veneers that you wear
and it's supposed to not affect the way you talk.
So this photo, like with the missing teeth, it kind of looks like they just blacked out the teeth
with Photoshop?
You know what let's see.
Look...
What is this?
Why does it look like that?
What's going on?
This comes with a case that says perfect smile veneers
and the case is all like kind of broken up and everything.
And then you have this.
So to try it out you're supposed to put it in boiling water for two minutes and
then you mold it to the shape of your teeth.
I still feel it's a little bit weird that I put the teeth in
but the picture said that it should so let's see.
Oh whoa whoa
Oops, I should not have done that!
What's happening oh no no
Yeah, it's stuck to each other and now it's stuck to the spoon.
I don't think I should be putting that on my teeth.
Can you imagine if that happens on my teeth?
It is incinerating oops sorry.
Unless it's supposed to use it like glue and stick it to your teeth
maybe it's supposed to be like an adhesive
maybe I'm supposed to now molded it.
So you know what, let's just give it a shot.
Cannot la.
Like there is no stickiness at all.
Cannot! Cannot even like stick.
Cannot, I don't know where it's supposed to go.
Okay so this thing, it doesn't even stick on my teeth and it won't stay in place.
This adhesive right, after it cools down I don't think it's meant to be sticky
but it also doesn't really meaningfully hold any shape that I'll be able to keep it in place.
Unless I'm using is completely wrong.
Even if let's say I put more adhesive right, the problem then becomes
that there's so much adhesive that it's just like popping out of my mouth.
Okay, first of all, it's completely useless.
What I can't get my head around
is why it was created in the first place.
This is one of the rare products that actually make me angry
because of the things that it says like
it custom fits over your upper teeth,
got a reusable removable veneer,
it's easy to use, it's comfortable to wear,
it's none of those things and if you look at the before photos that they're using,
they're using people who are missing teeth,
we're talking like teeth in very unhealthy condition.
So teeth that are in such bad condition right,
it's actually also possibly dangerous to your health.
And people who whose teeth become like that is because they don't have access to dental care
and that's because they can't afford it
or because it's not available to them
and this is obviously going after a very I think already vulnerable group of people,
makes me angry because this is money that they're trying to get them to spend
which is maybe not a lot to a lot of people but still probably a lot to them?
You know and and it doesn't even offer a hope of working it just made me so pissed off.
I'm sorry that I'm taking this unless thing like maybe a bit too
seriously but I feel like obviously the demographic that they're going after is
already a disadvantaged group of people who maybe cannot afford to sort of like
be throwing money around at useless things like that.
Terrible out of ten. An abomination
An abomination out of ten.
So this is completely useless shouldn't be made
and also a waste of packaging didn't even get the packaging right oh my god very angry.
So one of the reasons that I wanted to give this a second shot is
because the first time round I got very angry because I thought it was a cash grab
after watching that guy on the video and seeing how earnest he was about it I thought
did he truly mean for this to be a solution?
Maybe this could work.
So, first impression is that it already looks a ton better than this older version.
Let's try this.
It's turned slightly clearer,
that kind of feels like it's still completely hard.
Like so ideally what I need to do is get this adhesive underneath my teeth
so that I can hook it around the back.
I have managed to get some of the adhesive around the back.
I think the good thing about this adhesive is that it's not as runny as the other one.
So it doesn't feel kind of like as scary.
This kind of looks a bit firmer than before.
So hopefully this works.
I don't know man.
No leh.
I managed to cut off one tooth and then I filed down the edges so now I'm gonna try this again.
I think that I have reached
the mix level of my ability already.
I don't see how I can make this work.
Okay, verdict, useful or useless?
Surprising me I am torn.
I'm torn because...
oh sorry now that I know how to use it properly, that I managed to make it stay like once
even though it didn't look very good.
I see how there would... there is a small chance of it working.
Reading the reviews and stuff, it's overwhelmingly bad
and that's why I feel like I'm a little bit suspicious of it.
I understand that when it comes to teeth
this is obviously a much much much much cheaper version to veneers.
This could potentially help some people
but I feel that the success rate is so so low
I just am not sure.
If someone managed to make it work for them even though they're part of a
very small percentage.
Maybe that's a good thing but
I'm torn, apart of me still doesn't know if they tried hard enough with it
and whether they were hoping to make money off people with very few options.
So yeah...
This is a sort of improved bag clip.
Like we've seen a lot of bag clips before
you know they are just kind of like straight and across.
So what we have here is like an improved one where you have a dispenser nozzle kind of thing.
Here we have our flour.
First, when you open it, you just cut a little hole like that,
about the same size as this.
Then you fit this in and then you put this around.
So easy!
Oh waa, it's really very easy to dispense ya.
This is great that gives a fair amount of control.
With something like this it gives you something firm to hold on to.
Which is great.
it feels super secure.
Doesn't feel like it runs the risk of kind of falling out at all.
This is like a ten out of ten.
Useful or useless?
Useful! Very useful.
So this is a five-blade scissors that is supposed to be a more efficient way of cutting up things.
Things like herbs, seaweed, spring onions or you can also use it for arts and craft.
Let's chop up our spring onion first.
It's not cutting it it's squeezing the life out of it look at all the juices is like coming out
I'm not a chef and even I know this is not ideal.
Maybe if I cut fewer then it's not so bad.
Okay, I try one at a time okay.
Oh, that's much easier that's much better.
It's really unappetizing to kind of see food stuck between blades like that.
if you have absolutely no knife skills this is a good stand-in,
you don't really run the risk of like chopping your finger off.
Less la! Unless you're very very very accident-prone.
It doesn't feel that sharp and I'm not really sure how I would sharpen all these individual blades.
But I guess it is fast la.
So not too bad, let's try out with the seaweed.
This is really fun.
And is also neat and pretty clean.
With seaweed, it's great I think because like
it's not so wet it doesn't get stuck to things and there's space where is it go through.
Now let's try it for arts and crafts.
Let's try it with some felt first.
It not cutting.
Nope, it's not sharp enough to cut the felt.
Okay so let's try it with paper.
I'm trying to think if I can cut all the way across.
It doesn't go past there.
I guess this is kind of like a very portable shredder.
If you want to like shred things and you don't want to buy a shredder
or if you want to make confetti.
Okay I think that this is great for dry things
like stuff that doesn't have like juice or water content.
In terms of like cutting food, I feel like the use is quite limited.
And also for cutting paper, the use is quite limited.
So like what else could I use it for do you know what I mean?
So overall I guess I would give this like a six.
This is not useful for me because I don't need it for any of these things
but I do find it potentially very useful for people who do.
So this is a hairdryer hat that is supposed to shorten the amount of time
you need to dry your hair.
Can I just say this look completely useless,
maybe I'm judging it too fast but...
oh very stretchy.
It feels like a towel so what suppose to happen is
after you've washed your hair you're supposed to twist it up
and then put it in here.
This would have been easier for me to do with long hair
it's a bit hard now cause my hair is like not here not there but I'm gonna give this a shot.
Okay you are supposed to leave your wet hair in this hat and let it dry naturally
I quite like it cuz actually you know last time what I used to do is I'll take my towel
and then I'll wrap my hair in the towel and just leave it there for a while
but what was difficult about that was because there was no elastic or anything
sometimes if I moved too much or what, it will drop off.
So this is great because it's very firm.
like that is not going anywhere.
So this way is if you want to let your hair dry naturally.
Another way of using it is if you still want to use the hairdryer
Oh! Why is peeling all over my hair?
Okay, but it's okay I haven't washed it yet maybe it won't do this after.
Okay so another way of using it is if you still
want to use a hairdryer apparently putting your hand in this and then
okay so a one-hand hairdryer than the other hand like still kind of like rubbing the hair
it helps to absorb more water and therefore make the process a little bit faster.
I'll bring this back and report.
Hi guys okay so I managed to find the time to try this out as a way to dry my hair just like leaving it on.
Okay so this thing has been on my head for about six hours now
last time I tried to let my hair dry on its own the timing was I think...
oh, five hours so this is already like one whole hour longer than regular air drying.
So much of it is where I don't understand how this would have helped make it better.
After wearing that hat for so long this doesn't look very good okay.
Okay so I just showered and I'm going to try out this little hat
and see if it helps dry my hair faster or not.
So I'm going to dry one side regularly and then the other side with this little hat.
And I'm going to time it.
Okay so, erm ya, I had the same reaction yesterday
and I thought I would give it a second shot because I couldn't believe the results
because it didn't make sense to me it's like this is supposed to help make it faster right
but instead, it took longer.
Yesterday I thought maybe the problem is that when I'm holding it and I'm drying it here,
this is basically covering the part that the air is blowing it right
so I thought okay so maybe I'll do this and I'll dry this part and then after that
you know like use this to like squeeze the excess hair out.
So basically I'm drying it two ways with this as well as with the hairdryer.
I still don't think it has worked.
Okay so yes overall I would give this is a
useless score.
It's cute though.
What I have here with me is an umbrella hook.
You know how sometimes you go to a restaurant
and you have an umbrella but there's no way for you to put it.
You don't want to leave on the floor cause you're scared that you'll forget it
or you don't want to put it on the front. la la la la la la.
So what you're supposed to do is,
this goes around like the vertical part of the handle
so now you just put it here.
Wow, I was not expecting that.
Like that is not touching the floor and it's totally balancing.
How? How is it? How? How?
This is very like physics.
Now let's try it on the other umbrella let's see if this works
Waa, look the table moved and it is still there.
Oopsie, oh excuse me, sorry.
Er sorry getting by. WOW!
That is so cool! How is it doing that?
Am I like some mountain tortoise?
Has this been around for a long time, I just haven see before of something.
The only thing is I find that this is quite tight
for some umbrellas I think will be very difficult to take out.
I think it's incredible that it can just balance like that.
So this is not a weight you know.
It's super super super light so I'm really just in awe of how this thing works and I would give this a surprised
ten out of ten. oh no no no no no.
I would minus like two-point because it's actually very difficult to put on and take off
so that might put you off using it.
So is it useful or useless?
I think it's very useful.
This is a silicone scrubber dishwashing glove and washing brush in one.
It's anti-slip for washing dishes and it's also heatproof if you need to
carry hot items in the kitchen.
It's actually quite comfortable as far as gloves go.
First of all, they fit I think a lot of gloves are sometimes a bit big
and it kind of keeps like falling all over the place which is a bit irritating.
The fit on this is very snug.
Alright I've got my potato and now I'm going to try and wash off the dirt with this.
It feels pretty good like I'm really holding it and it doesn't feel like I'm at risk of dropping it.
As far as gloves go, this is quite interesting because the fit is really pretty awesome.
I think it's also great that I don't have to hold something else.
So I like that this is the thing that I'm using to wash.
I think same problem when wearing gloves to wash stuff though is that it's hard
to tell whether something is clean or not because you cannot feel it right.
Like when I'm rinsing it out like the second or third time, I realized that I kind of
actually have to wash this first before rinsing it out because when I use my
hand to wash off the excess and rinse it out at the end I run the risk of
dirtying it all over again because it's still dirty here.
Okay we're gonna try now with a dirty fork
because you know the folks have less space in between.
The bristles are great because they can really get in between the fork
even more than like a sponge can.
Okay, I will say that it's a bit tiring to keep a firm grip of stuff with this,
I think maybe because there's so much stuff in between,
that it's more effort to hold it in place and not drop it.
I find that my this arm is like a little more tired than it would normally be
when I'm holding on to stuff.
A little...
is a bit more, it's more than a little tired.
It's more than a little tired.
So these gloves are also supposed to be heatproof.
Here we have a freshly boiled pot of water,
so this part here is hot, this part here is hot,
let me first try hmm...
I can't feel anything from the top,
but if I hold it for a while I can.
Don't try this at home kids!
Okay so let me just like touch this part.
Oh, interesting it really is heatproof!
But the back is not so much because I guess the back is like thinner.
This one I guess because you can do this
and there's a fair amount of grip.
Just be careful because this part doesn't have anything,
so if you're holding something and that part comes into contact with some part really hot,
you, I think you will be able to feel it.
Definitely useful I think this is pretty great.
Ten, ten!
So useful or useless?
Definitely useful.
This is a makeup sponge travel case to keep your sponge dry and clean.
All right so apart from being like incredibly adorable, it's also got like these holes
where air can travel through and that you can keep your wet sponge in there
and it will keep it clean and allow some airing to happen at the same time.
So I find it great for when you're travelling because when your sponge is
wet and then you have to pack and you have to go and you don't have time to
let it dry I think this is a good in-between, it keeps it protected from
other things but it doesn't like create like a complete seal around it that all
the moisture and everything gets trapped inside.
I like that it still has ventilation and on top of that, it's super cute.
So the material is like soft
I think it's like silicone which is also good because I mean if it's plastic,
when you travel it could potentially break and also like with silicone,
it could also potentially take-up a bit less space.
Like when you just stuff it into your bag.
If you use your sponges wet, in general, I find that it takes a while to dry anyway
so this is not a good place to dry them in
but it's a good interim solution until you get to air them properly.
So actually the ears also have a function not just pretty.
What you can do is use it like this like now you've got two stands to let your sponges dry.
That's great!
Definitely a ten out of ten.
Useful, definitely useful.
