As I child I remember going to school after the night before my mum doing a Nit treatment & smelling like tea tree oil & all the kids asking if my hair has nits because they can smell the treatment hahah. I love that this doesn’t cause a smell. It’s so much easier than trying to clean the nit brush. Would definitely recommend the price seems reasonable.

Somehow my little girl got nits in lockdown.
I panicked and then I remembered we had the V Comb.
She has long curly hair but the comb was easy to use, easy to clean.
She was more than happy to sit and watch tv while Mummy played with her hair.

With 5 young children, it’s inevitable that our household faces a headlice issue from time to time. It’s always a nightmare when it comes to the girls’ long hair – we’ve tried the old-fashioned lice combs, a variety of sprays, oils and other commercially available and home remedies, and it’s always hard. The Licetec comb was so easy to use and didn’t require any products to be added to the hair, which was probably my favourite part. It was so satisfying to be able pull the comb through the hair and see the results in the little mesh catcher! We actually also used the comb on the baby’s cradlecap and it worked an absolute dream. I would absolutely recommend the Licetec comb to any parent with kids at school and preschool, it solves the headlice problem in one go without buying any chemicals or making up home remedies.

I have two kids at primary school and one at daycare. Unfortunately head lice is a reoccurring issue for us, and the kids hate the usual treatment they have to endure. This device is a game changer. It is so simple to use, and less painful than the traditional method of combining out over and over. It’s great that you can see all the nasties caught in the bag. I will recommend this to all the school parents!

The v comb a1 is such a brilliant invention, my mum is so upset that they didnt have these around when she was raising us six kidsand 4 of us being girls with very long hair. My daughter actually looked forward to me doing her hair for the first time ever, she didnt once complain and we captured ecerything. Just make sure to brush your childs hair before using.

This was one of those reviews that I was super happy to test out, but at the same time my worse nightmare. The thought of head lice makes me feel ill in the stomach.
Before being selected to review the Licetec V-Comb A1 I was actually unaware that anything like this was available. My usual method of removing head lice from my kids hair involved using a nit/head lice removal chemical, hair conditioner and a truck load patience. So being able to use a product like the Licetec V Comb A1 really excites me.
The V-Comb A1 comes with everything you need to remove head lice. The best part is that is rechargeable, which means you can use it anywhere. It comes in a convenient container which stores all of the parts neatly. The V-Comb comes with some charge, so I was able to get straight to work.
If I had to describe the V-Comb A1 it would be a combination of a comb and vacuum to remove and suck head lice and eggs into an internal barrel. One button to turn on and off and it wasn’t too noisy. You can hygienically dispose of the internal capture filter without the need to touch it. Simply unlock the main body of the unit, then place over the bin and the capture filter will slide straight out. You get a total of 4 capture filters, but you can purchase these separately once you run out.
I used this on my 5 year old son who’s hair is short and on my 11 year old daughter who’s hair is shoulder length. I used a brush first to ensure there were no knots in the kid’s hair. They recommend starting from the nape of the neck and going up. The comb has two angle settings, straight and raking.
With my daughter’s hair I did have to section it off first, then I separated her hair into small sections no wider than the teeth of the comb before passing the comb through. You start as close to the sculp as possible and pass the comb through each section a few times.
With my son’s hair I just started from the nape of his neck and just worked my way up passing the comb through over and over. The comb easily glided through both the kid’s hair, but the comb did snag a few times and the kids were quite quick to yell out when this happened.
It was not long before I could see the live head lice moving around trapped in the capture filter. YUCK!!! I could see both the live head lice and their eggs. While this was disgusting to see, I knew the V-Comb A1 was actually working.
Overall, I think the Licetec V-Comb A1 is a brilliant product for anyone who is after an allergen & chemical free headlice removal system. No matter when my next head lice infestation is, I’m ready thanks to Licetec V Comb A1. Highly recommend.

I have tried using different head lice shampoo for my kid but I found Licetec V Comb to be the most effective and safe one to use. Other shampoos have a chemical kind of smell and are unable to immediately kill all lice so you keep on using the shampoo.
With Licetec V Comb , you can immediately see results by 80% compared to shampoos. You are also saving money with the Liecetec V Comb as you do not need to keep on buying shampoo. What a way to save on money.
I highly recommend Licetec V Comb!

This device is so easy to use and helped resolve our little lice issue pain-free and stink-free. My son loved avoiding the shampoo smell & we loved the fact you can use it on the whole family quickly.

I have been excited and waiting for head lice to rear their ugly heads since i received the V-COMB A1 in the mail. Today i finally got to try it out on my 17yr old Daughter’s head. We set it up and charged it which was pretty simple. Then we brushed out the knots and started the process of combing. This is where the claim of it being gentle is proven to be nothing but lies. Metal combs are never gentle when my children’s hair is involved. Besides the hair continuously getting caught in the comb, we had to keep stopping to re-brush all the knots out.
We were kinda grossed out at the live bugs running around in the capture filter thing. But also excited to see that at least that claim was true. After the comb being too time consuming, loud and painful my Daughter opted for conditioner and combing method.

Ok – it was a while before we got to use it for the first time, but now we have backed it up with a second round. I freaking love this!! No trauma and screaming from the chemical washes and metal comb. This is a billion time easier and without all the yelling and drama

With the warmer weather and ending lockdown, my kids and their friends not only share happiness of getting together again, however, they also shared head lice.
Thanks to V-Comb A1. Made my job much easier and also much less Ouches… The only thing I am not 100% happy with V-Comb A1 is that with longer hair, it is a little hard to comb through.

This product is great. We had our first case of lice this week, I tried a few swipes on my own hair and it even got my dandruff and dirt, it collected the eggs and few lice. we tried over wet and dry hair, worked wonderfully over both. We’ve been using it daily with success although not all completely gone still highly recommend this product

My step-daughter was coming home with headlice every other week for a good period of a year. This comb made life a hell of a lot simpler as I found the combs would just sweep past alot of the smaller headlice. I absolutely dread getting rid of the headline as they totally grose me out and the work you have to put in, with washing everything each time there is a outbreak, and doing each kids head at the same time. It’s so time consuming and very tiring.

My stepdaughter has issues with “bugs” coming home from school. This product made combing and checking her hair fun. It was easy to use and she was using it herself after school. The light and mesh catch feature is great to see if there are any love or eggs being removed from the hair. I love that it is gentle on the hair while being very effective at removing any lice and eggs. I haven’t tried this wet yet but probably wouldn’t recommend it for this. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to trial this product in our home.

I love that this is rechargeable and that it’s allergen-and chemical-free. I think it will come in handy throughout the primary school years and will save me from having to re-buy lice shampoo anytime there is a breakout at the school. Highly recommend!

This was easy to use and saved so much time. When you have children with sensory issues with their hair, getting lice is a nightmare for you. This product made this a lot easier for myself and my children. It meant no meltdowns and less time with me touching their hair.

Before the V-Comb it was what seemed like endless hair combing searching for the little pests and their eggs with the biggest problem being that there was no one to check Mum’s head and paranoid or not we all know that when we hear that word our heads start to itch. The V-Comb cut the combing time by more than half, capturing the live critters so they couldn’t escape and jump back on and removed the eggs. No more putting gunk on their hair to kill them, washing it out and then combing several times and repeating the process every 3-4 days. I found it best to V-Comb every 3 days for a week, just to be sure, and it only took a few minutes once I got the hang of it. Best part was that if I was feeling itchy I could run it through my own hair and have peace of mind.

We have used several different chemical based treatments before… including ‘sensitive’ or gentle ones – my kids ages 6 and 2 find that process quite traumatic with the smell.
We recently had an infestation at home and had to treat the whole family. Mess, smell and chemical free – it was a simple and easy process.
At first I was not sure that the price warranted the device, but as an RN I have spoken to many nurse colleagues and more mothers about the benefits and that the price tag is week worth it.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus

Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
