If it's for Free, it's for Me!
I have previously mentioned my undying love and gratitude for Soothies.  My one complaint is the ridiculous cost of them - I've had to pay $11 for a pack of 2.  They only last 3-5 days (depending how carefully you treat them and store them when not in use.) so if you need them for 2-3 weeks (like I did), then you are looking at some hefty costs.  Today, I decided to start stocking my bag for the hospital and I went to Wal-Mart to see if they had Soothies.  While there, I discovered that Gerber makes soothing gel pads, too.  Of course, maybe Gerber had always been making them, but I was in such a daze with my son that I did not have the time nor the inclination to comparison shop.   So, in the process of looking at the Gerber site to provide a link for this post, I noticed a little verbiage that included the word "free" and "sample".  Two of the very sweetest words in the English language.  So, I called the number (1-800-4-GERBER) and got set up for some free samples to be delivered.  I called at 10pm CDT and was shocked to get an answer.  The CSR was super-friendly and my free samples are on their way.   Also, I will still buy some Soothies so I can provide a product comparison and additionally, I'm looking into some other soothing gel pads.  I will be sure to report back on this when the time actually comes for me to slapping those suckers on my sore tatas!  I'd like to provide a nice Benefit vs. Cost analysis.
Have a great weekend and BE SAFE.
