Finechi: Story of my stroller bag

A while back, I received my stroller bag from Finechi. One thing for sure, even before the baby comes, the life turns upside-down. Before I could even find proper time to take photos to do justice to my classy diaper bag, it was converted into a hospital bag because my gynae told me our little one could come anytime already. At that time, our stroller/infant seat came too but it was quickly checked and put aside because priorities had change, baby was coming.

Don't be fooled by Finechi's appearance, this bag is incredibly light-weight even after I fixed the sling straps that had a beautiful golden clasp finish. It had a lot of compartment at the side of the bag and it allows me to keep my content organised. To customise your bag, you can either get a fur charm (which comes in a variety of colours) or the acrylic keychains. As the bag is now used a as hospital bag, I am using my spidey acrylic keychain as it will be easier to clean when I am back home.

And yes, all these had been stuffed into my Finechi bag with lots of excess space. we will be bringing a second bag with the less essential items haha (cos photo props are important to this mama, some moments when missed are lost forever!) From left to right:

1. 1 Jacket (cos I felt it was so cold already during the hospital tour)
2. 1 room slipper
3. 1 Milestone card from tinys.co
4. Baby's first toy from Pebble Child
5. 2 Bottles of Brands Essence (there was enough space of 2)
6. 3 disposible underwear
7. 1 Curel facewash sample pack (Cos toiletries are basically provided except facewash and this was the most convenient facewash I could find...lol)
8. Kotex night pads (Am not entirely sure if this would work but some mothers suggested prepping your own just in case you aint used to the ones the hospital provided)
9. Huggies wet wipes and 1 bottle of Acquassimo to keep the place sterile
10. 1 Powerbank (will be stuffing my wires too!)
11. 1 Silverette Nursing Cups (really more for prevention, cos I heard boys can be quite rough with their mother's nipples)
12. 1 Amulet (haha)
13. Underpads from Guardian (Heard you can save some money if you don't use the hospital's)
14. Personal Documents 

Here is the update on hospital bag 2, which we call Daddy's bag. Basically, it is still Mummy and my stuff for when we leave the hospital. Daddy requested for a bagpack so we gave him a free camo one. Mummy's nice bags are in girl shades which Daddy refuse to carry for her. Mummy packed:

1. 1 set of nursing dress and bra from 9 Months Maternity
2. 1 newborn set from Oeteo
3. 1 romper from Little BB Love cos this boy is on the fat side. Scared he can't fit in newborn
4. Hegen Breast Pump
5. Sitz Bath Tub
6. Fav soft tissues from Dewysoft Tissues
7. Pretty nursing Cover from Hush Hush Baby

** Will update the conversion of my  Finechi bag into a diaper bag after I am done with the pushing :D 

Review: Hotel Kotex

Brand loyalty is a concept that is best seen in woman's pad. Nope, it is not the writing pad. It is that monthly pad. Women, are God's fickle creation. But one thing I realize we really stick to, through the bad days (literally) are the pads. Of course, sometimes, we do give other pads a try. Free pads, borrowed pads etc. but women just seem to go back to their old pad pack.

In fact, women could be split by the brands they use. *chuckles* I am, and have a always been a Kotex girl. I started going for the "looks" Kotex Luxe has the best interior packaging. I have always thought the flowery interior was very very attractive. But of course, my argument has always been cruelly brought down by people who would tell me what the beautiful florals would be eventually covered with *Haiz*

Maybe it is just me, but I always think Kotex has the thinnest, most comfortable pads. They are barely visible, so there is no self-consciousness that the pad will bulge out in tight skirts.

And also...LOL LAME JOKE ALERT, Kotex can help you reject unwanted suitors. If a man ever pick you up at a bar using match sticks spelling HOTEL, you just have to move 3 match sticks to reject him. HAHAHA.

If you have super heavy flow, I suggest using the Kotex Luxe Overnight pad. Don't judge it by its super thin exterior, it is like an absorbent sponge. I have used it myself so many times and I love it. You can go to bed without a worry. This is that pad that will help you realise that overnight period leakage is never your fault. In fact, leakages won't even exist in your dictionary. :)

With the 32 cm New Honeycomb Liquid-Locker centre specially designed to rapidly absorb and lock away fluid to help prevent back-flow, your intimate area will feel dry and comfortable throughout the night. New Ultra Comfort Cover Specially designed to deliver both dryness and softness, helping provide the ultimate experience of a high performance pad. Surrounding the honeycomb centre is the soft cottony surface with surrounding embossed star-contours will provide additional security and leakage protection.

During the day, you can try using the Daytime -24cm (Blue). Compared to the Overnight pad (green), it is the like the little, shorter sister. Like her Overnight sister, she is equally competent in keeping you safe and dry. Their vibrant packaging of each pad will also help to brighten up your grey hormonal mood swings!

Want to try this revolutionary pad where softness and dryness come together, get a FREE SAMPLE redemption on Sample Store. Alternatively, you can also request for a FREE SAMPLE on Kotex Facebook page! So feel fabulous with me and be on top of your game even on period days!
