Advantages: Comfy, breathable, stylish, affordable...need I say more?
Disadvantages: If you're into showing, these jods are really better suited to everyday wear.

...Fed up of stiff, thick jods that you have to really s-t-r-e-t-c-h to pull on every time that you wash them? Sounds familiar? I recommend that you try on a pair of cotton naturals, and feel the difference for yourself! Seriously, these are the best jodphurs I have ever worn. They're comfortable, breathable, soft, stylish and affordable too. Perfect for everyday, the pull-on legging style is the ultimate in convenience and comfort and is equally practical in summer and winter. The cotton fabric is warm in winter and cool and breathable in summer - after a long day wearing these jods you wont find your legs uncomfortably sweaty when you take them off. Cotton naturals are available in a variety of different colours and are priced very reasonably at around £20-25. In my opinion, a true bargain.... Read review

Advantages: NONE

Advantages: good for fine motor
Disadvantages: ?

...When I was a young mum I used to do a lot of sewing and I saved the empty cotton reels I bought some shoelaces and gave the cotton reels and shoelaces to my small daughter when she was about 2 yrs old. We spent many happy hours threading the cotton reels on to shoe laces making necklaces, crowns and bracelets. Some of the cotton reels were plain coloured some red and blues. Since then I have used cotton reels for threading in schools and nurseries but not ones saved by industrious mums, but ones we have bought from galt toys. They are identical to the ones you buy with cotton thread on except these are brightly coloured red green yellow blue. They come with a threading cord too. You get 20 cotton reels in a put for £3.99p. 20 are enough to thread a couple of necklaces. These cotton reels can be bought at toy shops or at http... Read review

Advantages: very soft, no smell at all, plastic popper top
Disadvantages: If you want to get them cheaper you have to wait for a special offer in Boots

...These cotton soft fragrance free wipes are the best I have come across so far. Although they are about average on price Boots quite often have either a buy one get one free or a 3 for 2 offer on. They have a plastic popper top on the packets (I can't rave enough about how wonderful these devices are!). I have previously found packs of wipes with just a sticker for a seal to be annoying, they never stay up and once you get a bit of wetness from a wipe on them they will never seal the packet again! The wipes themselves really are cotton soft and caused no soreness whatsoever. The reason I have bought Fragrance free is purely because I can't stand the smell of most baby wipes and these don't smell at all. Generally absolutely marvellous!... Read review

Advantages: quick delivery, easy to navigate website, great prices
Disadvantages: no free returns policy

...I was looking on the net for some t-shirts, jeans and a new coat for my holiday this year and wasn't having much luck. Many shopping sites such as Next, M&S, etc were expensive and didn't have what I was looking for. Then I had the idea of looking on the Cotton Traders site. They had exactly what i wanted and in the sale too. Their delivery time was excellent, I placed the order on the Sunday night and I received my goods on Wednesday afternoon. Everything I had ordered was there and all the items fitted perfectly. So a thumbs up for their sizing guide. Now I am a registed customer with Cotton Traders I can preview forthcoming clothing and shoes from their next catalogue. In fact their site is just like browsing the catalogues which come through the door which makes navigating the site simple. On the down side, they do not offer... Read review

Advantages: Excellent quality and therefore good value
Disadvantages: Have to wait for delivery

...A few months ago I received a special offer from Cotton Trader through the post. At the time I was looking for a pair of trainers which were suitable for hiking (as opposed to boots). In their catalogue was the perfect pair at around £20 - the only other decent ones I had managed to find were around £50. The choice of colours was limited but the grey ones were perfect to go with most of my walking clothes. The delivery time was around 5 weeks but I did receive an apology for the delay. The regular catalogues which I have since received however are slightly more expensive and many of the clothes can be bought locally (albeit without the Cotton Trader logo) at slightly cheaper prices. The big plus point has got to be the quality of the product. I have worn the trainers almost daily for the past three months, not just for walking... Read review

Advantages: see article
Disadvantages: see article

...Eastenders as the title suggests is a great british tradition. It seems to have gone from strength to strength although at the moment it seems to be down to the hard nuts in the programme - maybe an indication of day to day life!! Many of the old characters are still there eg Dot Cotton and Pauline Fowler and it looks as if Nick Cotton will be reincarnated in his son when he comes to visit Dot. All that is left now is the taking down of Ian Beale, which I'm sure Phill will do with his usual dedication. The recent death of Ethel with Dot at the helm was very moving and she will be sorely missed. Beats Coronation Street hands down.... Read review

Advantages: lasts 24 hour
Disadvantages: it can cost a lille more than other deodorant

...Sure 24 hour intensive anti-perspirant deodorant, is in my mind the best deodorant you can buy . Sure is ph balanced to work in harmony with your body, it comes in a range of fresh fragrances i like the cotton fresh that contains cotton extracts in it's formulation. Sure gives you 24 hours protection against wetness and body odour, it is also dermatolgically tested so it not bad on the skin. sure give you unbeatable protection and is very effective. i now only will use sure, because the others don't stand up to the effective of this deodorant....

Advantages: None any more
Disadvantages: Dishonest "bargain" pricing, poor service when things go wrong.

...Note: any mention of prices are in round figures. I'm afraid my experience of this company is far from positive. Whilst not a customer myself, my Mother was. When things went well she was happy. Up until she bought a pair of Unisex Fleece Lined Boots, advertised at £40 and being warm and dry. Item AQ10065 Shortly after purchase they miraculously became "half price". This as we all know is a dishonest pricing tactic - charge a fake price for a short period to remain legal, then charge what the price should have been to begin with and call it a "bargain". I argued this with Cotton Traders who refused to acknowledge their dishonesty, but t offered a credit of £20 which Mother took to purchase more goods and other pair of these boots to give me. When they arrived, the stitching in the lining had come undone so a replacement was requested... Read review
