  • Love that my clothes smelt like an Oriental Kiss!

    Prior to being selected to review Clean sensitive washing powder, I had been given a bottle of Soften oriental kiss by my mother in law. I have been known to stand in the aisle and select my fabric softener based on fragrance- so it's safe to say that I'm fairly picky about the scents that I choose. As you could imagine, the first thing I did upon receiving the bottle was open it and take a whiff. So far, so good, but would the fragrance remain on my clothes after they were dry? I have been known to 'break up' with softeners in the past because they failed to do this. Soften had big shoes to fill, and it delivered! My clothes came out smelling like roses! (actually more like oriental kiss, but you get what I mean ????).

    The fragrance remained on the fabric, and my husband didn't complain that he smelt like a lady. When I found out the price, it was the icing on a very delicious smelling cake! I made sure this product made its way into my shopping list.

  • Best Product for Sensitive Skin

    My husband has a couple of skin conditions and we have tried a dozen different products and the Soften Sensitive has been the best yet. His skin does not seem to react to this product. I would thoroughly recommend this range.

  • Fabulous value for the money!

    I love to use Fabric Softener for all my clothes, linen and towels but have been scrimping on some items because of the cost .... Soften is not only an effective product but a great cost saving too! At a fraction of the cost of other fabric softeners, it delivers big time! Cost savings, effectiveness and scent - it more than exceeds my expectations! I've finely found the perfect solution to my laundry needs!

  • Beautiful fresh smelling laundry

    I'm so glad to find Soften Island Oasis Fabric Softener. It has the best smell by far and stays in the fabrics. Towels smell wonderful and feel so soft. The first time I used Island Oasis Fabric Softener, I had a bag of clothes that I had washed with Island Oasis Fabric Softener in the car. After parking and getting back into the car I could smell the clothes. It made my car smell good too! Very easy to order using Woolworths online shopping. Gets delivered to your door

  • Best brand on the market

    Soften really is the best brand of softener on the market. It is quite easy to make up - you just need a 2L bottle, and then also easy to use. I find that I don't use much of the product, so it probably reaches the 25 washes limit posted on the bottle. It leaves my clothes soft and smelling great. I am not a fan of the ocean blue smell, and prefer the sunny yellow one (name escapes me right now).

  • Love this product

    I switched to soften a year ago. I have always made up my softener, jut like my grandmother before me. I found that a lot of softeners on the market were quite expensive for what they offered. Soften on the other hand is inexpensive, and easy to make up. It leaves my clothes soft and smelling great. Would recommend.

  • Freshness

    Love the variety of clean products. There is such a great variety that it is all you need to fill the laundry. The freshness smell of each product and the ingredients with no harmful ingredients in each product. I found the smell was long lasting especially the fabric softener which made me feeling refreshed all day. The sheets on the bed are relaxing also.

    When I first used this soften I was like ok let's see just give this a try I know it won't work. But I was wrong it did. It really soften my clothes in the first go and after that it is just a must buy product at least for me. It smells so good that after washing you will feel so fresh. As you know your family members are going to happy .

  • Ladies, stop wasting your money on Fabric Softeners

    They don't work.

    I bought this by mistake thinking it was "soft" detergent for delicates but decided to try it anyway. I feel nor smell no difference in my towels. Granted, I don't have a dryer and hang my towels in the sun so they will always go back to that crunchy feeling. White Vinegar is all you need. It does exactly the same thing as fabric softener. Cheaper. And probably nicer to the environment.

  • Worth the money

    I never used to use fabric softener. To me it was just another unnecessary expense for something that didn't really do much.

    I have been using the Soften Sensitive and am now sure to include it in every wash. For a sensitive product it still has a great smell, and I know that I can wash my family's clothes with Soften Sensitive and whether it's my partner, my teenagers or my 9 month old baby, everyone will have fresh, pleasant smelling and comfortable clothes without having to worry about reactions. Definitely a product I will continue to use.

  • Soft, Fresh & Value for Money

    I have been using "Soften Sensitive" for quite a few weeks now and I am totally converted. Excellent value for money. It smells great; a clean fresh scent that the family loves. I just wish it was available in a bigger container.

  • Softness is the word

    My DIL gave me some of this when I ran out , trying to get me to change. I was amazed at how well it softened my towels. The family loves how it smells and their softer clothing. Upon finding the costs I now no longer use any other softener. I would recommend this to anyone who asks about it.

  • Great value for money

    I was pleasantly surprised by the results of Soften.

    Given the price, you would not expect the best results. The fragrance is noticeable - though I wouldn't say it lasts as long as more expensive softeners.

    Clothes did come out nice and soft.

    Overall, great value for money and I'll be trying out different scents to find my favourite one! The pocket friendly price is definitely a winner.

  • Soften my ideas on softeners

    I'm just a bit mixed about my opinion. I tried ocean fresh which I thought had a lovely fragrance. It was on special and I felt good value for money. I'm not sure it made that big of a difference to my clothes and felt that my ironing was the same as usual.

    I love the low cost price for these softening conditioners, they are so affordable and makes them desirable on their own. I love the different types and smells that come with them, they leave your clothes smelling lovely every time. I love that they do a great job to condition and soften the clothes, the most important reason for using them I would easily say. I would let me friend / family / or strangers know how good I think these are. I like the product and will use frequently

  • Softening goodness

    I love fabric softeners and would never wash my, my kids or my hubbies clothes without them. I love the smell of the soft brand and I also love the price - it is very affordable and sustainable for young families. I would highly recommend this to all of my family and friends with children and those who like soft and nice smelling clothes. Thanks for the nice products

Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.

Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.

Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.

“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”

Even then, it’s not ideal.

“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”

A New Loaf On The Block

Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.

It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.

“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”

Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.

For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”

“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”

The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved

Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.

“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”

Bec says she was impressed too.

“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”

A Simpler Option For Everyday Families

Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.

“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”

It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.

Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.

JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.

Little Changes, Big Difference

 

For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.

“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”

Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.

And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.

JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.

  • I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

  • Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
    I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.

    Reply

  • I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.

  • This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo

  • what about gluten is it gluten free thats what i need

    Reply

  • I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.

  • I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it

  • Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!

    Reply

  • This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
