Gizmos for Kids

A Review…

My 21 month old daughter really dislikes having her hair rinsed. She doesn’t mind when I wash her hair, but when it comes to getting the shampoo out, I get an enormous amount of whining because she hates the water running into her eyes. I try to dip her head back the best I can to rinse the soap out, but the water always ends up running down her face.

So when the people at Lil Rinser contacted me and asked if I would like to review their product, I told them absolutely! The Lil Rinser is a water-tight, form fitting shampoo shield that keeps soap and water out of a young child’s eyes, ears and mouth. The soft rim fits smoothly yet snuggly against a child’s head and channels water and soap away from the face. The convenient and comfortable soft grip handle allows parents to hold the Lil Rinser in place and it is made of firm, flexible plastic. I tried the product on my daughter the day I received it.

My daughter was a little unsure of it when she saw it at first, and she wasn’t too keen on me putting it on her head. But after playing with it in the tub for a few minutes, she thought it was a hat and wanted to wear it. I slipped it on her head and it fit snugly. I held the grip of the Lil Rinser with one hand and poured water from a bucket on her head with the other. It worked really well. No water fell on her face - just a little around her ears because she was fidgeting as I rinsed. The Lil Rinser worked very nicely and was really easy to use. I plan to keep using it whenever I wash my daughter’s hair.

The Lil Rinser comes in four color combinations – yellow with blue, turquoise with purple, green with orange and light purple with dark purple and it is one size fits all.

The price is $14.98 at LilRinser.com. Definitely check it out today!
