I depend on people like you buying full price stuff you don't like, using it like once, and then putting it on marketplace at a great discount for me to buy! I appreciate your service 🙏🤣
That crack on the plant stand is because that screw was over tightened. You could probably remove the paint and re-paint it which ever color you like as long as the paint is waterproof.
I moved from Hawaii to Texas and I didn’t realize how much I didn’t wear shoes until I moved here. First couple months, I got some really weird looks being at the park with no shoes with my dogs. Jajaja
If you don't like the white, instead of stripping the paint off go for a different bold color that you do like that matches with the aesthetic of your apartment. That way it will stand out in a way you like rather than a way that you don't
Tip for the tight jeans is to wear them around the house for a few weeks, so you stretch them out a bit. If that’s not an option, take some pix or short video of you putting them on and modelling them, and auction them off, with 1 photo of you in them, for charity. The plant shelf thing, maybe paint over it. Maybe a bold pink or green.
Shopping is hard! There are no stores that sell what I would like to purchase. So that leaves online shopping. You can't try anything on before you buy. And then you have all of that shipping back and forth. It's terrible. The zero waste options in Portland (OR) are pathetic. In a word: Frustrating.
I'm a bit surprised to hear this about Portland! When I look for anything from our state it all seems to be over there. 😂 Though, when the east is all rural and has nothing to begin with, I guess it would feel like that.
Love these annual reviews of best and worst purchases. I use cloth pantyliners in conjuncture w a period cup- works perfectly for me :) No need for extra underwear and you can fold them in on themselves to transport dirty ones mess free. I bought mine from a company, that has a buy 1 donate 1 policy for girls in India, so they won't have to skip school while on their period.
I definitely relate to Leah's initial purchase excitement - especially when it comes to starting a new hobby/activity! It's so easy and fun to imagine being the skilled and interesting person at the end of all the practice and perseverance 🥲
For the period underwear, I like the black on the inside to hide the honestly gross looking (although completely natural) blood because sometimes I just can’t handle that for my morning pee… but the light outside will tell me if I’m somehow bleeding through. Just my opinion and I totally understand that the styles aren’t always the cutest!
Yeah honestly all the ones I own are black on the inside - makes them less likely to stain as well! My faves are from modibodi as they have a range of styles and colours, and are inclusive in terms of catering to everyone who menstruates, not just selling traditionally feminine underwear
Can anyone tell what brand it is that she doesn’t like? I recently switched from Thinx which I think are poorly made to Knix and I’m so happy with the change! Knix are still leak proof but less bulky and way better quality. My Thinx were falling apart and fit unevenly like the leg holes weren’t even, drove me crazy!
Love the Leah intro!! Online purchases are tough to nail when it comes to size. I've gotten it wrong a couple of times when thrifting online and exchange what I can.
I‘ve had the same experience with a local period underwear company. Different brands vary a lot in fitting and comfort and it‘s just hard to find the right ones! Especially since they are expensive. Luckily I found one that‘s been working so far, fingers crossed! This video was great, as always! I like that you are honest about the problems you face when living sustainable and the wrong choices you‘ve made! Very much appreciate that! I am really looking forward to the best purchases you‘ve made!
Levi! Are your new jeans 100% cotton? Have you tried stretching them out with the wet method? Just dunk the parts of the pants you want to stretch in water and then either hand stretch them (make sure you pull in multiple directions to stretch them evenly) or wear them as they begin to dry (about 1-2h). You can get an extra 0.5 inch of room doing this.
Thanks for the video! Leah, you should try Tree Hugger Cloth Pads, not underwear but very comfy reusable pads. I personally prefer the bamboo ones for absorption, but the minky ones are sooo soft. It's a small business owned by a Canadian woman, and they have great customer service :) (plus they plant a tree for every pad sold 🌳).
Yes!!! That was the first company I ever found for cloth pads and I’m so glad I did!! Now I’ve seen the market saturated with other brands but I still love the Tree Hugger ones. I use it interchangeably with a cup and a few pairs of period underwear too, but I have a wide variety of the cloth pads. Bamboo and minky are great, but the cotton ones aren’t too shabby either:)
It is interesting to see how year by year your tastes change! One because everyone changes, and the other is that you get older. Thank you for sharing!
I think there are a lot of purchases we make for our “fantasy self” new bike, new style clothing...I keep thinking I want to purchase a stand up paddle board for sunrise yoga sessions on the lake.... “Reality me” doesn’t like yoga or mornings so I have not made that purchase. You could probably do a whole video on “fantasy self”
I had a similar experience with Cariumas. They didn't fit well and weren't very comfortable-I can be super picky with shoes, and I'm glad I ended up returning them. Great marketing, but not much else of theirs works for me, haha. The problem for me with online purchases is that I live in a fairly rural area and don't have access to quality things to begin with, so I frequently have to turn to online stores to find something. The whole concept of online shopping (esp for clothes and shoes) really stresses me out, tho, bc of issues like shoes not fitting well.
Loved this video! When Leah said "nice bum where you from?" My brain automatically filled in "Langley, wanna bang me?" So I'm wondering if you both also had those kinds of silly comebacks growing up in Canada or if it was very regional? Can't think of one for Victoria sadly.
I purchased my new bicycle pre-Covid when you could still find 🚴 bicycles in shops. I received $10 on my twenty-five year old trade in which was noted to be dangerous and about to fall apart 😂. I went for the blue bicycle even though the purple one was flashier but did not fit. I love, love 💕 my bicycle! There may be another one in Leah’s future 🤞but the current one sounds great.
Omg! We have the same issues with metal studs in our apartment! The thing that we learned is that you need lath screws/self-drilling screws to mount things onto metal studs. With that change you can drill into the metal studs the same way you would wood studs.
Yeah we actually tried that too... The shelf was probably just too heavy but one of our restoration guys informed us that for more serious mounting jobs they actually just the drywal out, put a pice of wood in behind and mount it to the steel studs, and then use that... 😬👀
Levi, if you read this before Leah, I'm sorry. But Leah, I personally use reusable pads. I don't like the idea of having a menstrual cup or tampon up in me. I found a lady on etsy who's pads I love better than the very first set of pads I bought. Granted, I bought those on Amazon. The second set I bought, I got from a woman run shop called high oh. The two I bought off etsy were basically a spare of the moment deal.
I am a bear to fit so, its brick and mortar for me as long as possible. Even so, I normally check the fiber content before buying and/ or when deciding how much im willing to spend. If im spending more money or at an item I expect to last a long time, I also look at the construction details.
Leah - you should try the Nixit! (Canadian company, too!) I switched from the Diva cup because I was concerned about suction with my IUD and fell in love with the Nixit.
I can second this! When I came off hormonal birth control I started using the intima ziggy cup (also a disc, but somehow named a cup...). Absolutely love it. Easy to remove and has a bonus that it can be used for certain activities mess free during the period. 😏
Third this!!!! I love Nixit, Diva style cups never could sit well with me and the Nixit, being a disk that sits up against the cervix, has been amazing! If you want to try out how a disk will fit, I first started by buying the Flex disposable disks, unfortunately theyre not super sustainable but for a one time purchase to try out a few or for several periods, it might be great before taking the plunge on Nixit.
I do wish that I had known about the Nixit when I still had periods. I liked my Diva cup and all it stood for and the ease of operation, but sometimes it not inserted correctly, it says a bit uncomfortable. Period panties do not look to be my style but would have been good to have for heavier day leakage. Good luck.
Leah - I’ve just decided to try something new and move away from the diva cup which I have been wearing for 10 years now. I was recommended the bfree cup which is a Canada based company. And as for period underwear I wear Knix
The norco’s a nice bike but if you’re going from an upright to a drop bar bar it’s definitely a different ride. And The Levi’s are worth wearing in. They would just form to your body and be oh so nice in a couple months.
Really relating to the Bike purchase. Back in July I got myself a new fancy sports bike. Well what can I say have used it twice so far as I got sick in August and have been on an endless recovery journey ever since (Yes its depressing) couple of times already I really wanted to sell it but decided against it. Hope that I will be able to use it soon.
Well we have all been there IE the shelf , but it’s often better to buy used. The plant stand … just paint it out a nice creamy beige to match your other wood. It will blend better and you can dumpster dive behind a hardware store for pieces of wood to replace the cracked one. !!! (Also BTW you spent waaay too much for that. I see cheaper items on marketplace , so be patient and wait for the “deal”.) 😉
Hi Levi and Leah!! Wondering if you have any plans for sustainable options for plus size people that aren't ridiculously expensive. I'm open to spending more money for quality but I find that isn't the case for most things
Hey Delia! This is such a tough thing for small businesses (who typically have better quality stuff). I know that Ecologyst (a local brand that we like) is trying to expand their sizing and they make custom fits for their products sometimes. Sorry to not be more helpful!
I bought primark period underwear (because i simply cannot affored 32+ for a single underpants) and that one is cotton fits very well and looks great and none of them are bulky but very like streamlined
I personally have two pairs of Cariuma shoes that I love. The insole is amazing and lets me stay on my feet comfortably all day. Perhaps the specific shoe type that is for skaters like the one you tried isn’t as comfy but the IBI is so comfy! Also Sustain makes really good period underwear as well as other products including a lubricant that we like.
Has Leah done a video or podcast or something in Period underwear? I"m interested in knowing her thoughts/recommendations on some. I'm def looking into a pair or two... or ten XD Whatever it takes XD Thanks guys!
@@michellereeves5707 I haven’t! But my friend did and she loves them. I’m all about my saalt soft cup though :) I use the regular in soft and the small in original style. :)
For period underwear hands down the best one I've found is knix, they have no show no line ones that feel lovely. You don't feel as secure in them as other brands but I have also never leaked in them and I have a very heavy period normally.
I do not enjoy the Thinx underwear myself. I preferred LunaPads who is now known as Aisle. I felt Thinx wasnt breathable enough and the material reminded me of bathing suit material which was definitely bulky under clothing. And the sizing felt off too.
I use Thinx period underwear and depending on which one I use, it does feel like a diaper. But I don't mind because I use it for sleeping! Then I have the less absorbent but more comfortable pair that I use for the day.
I bought a pair of pants that got that type of pilling after one wash. They were black but all you could see is little tiny white balls that were impossible to remove. I told the store where I bought them and they let me return them.
I hate when period products or underwear doesn't work out because its like great, what the hell do I do with this now? I am not a fan of my menstrual cup but I don't want to buy another because what if that one doesn't work, too? I have some period underwear that was too snug and I would never be able to wear. Fortunately, I altered them to fit so at least that is saved! Great video, y'all. Glad this is an annual thing. :)
Leah, if you are looking for different period underwear, I like the ones from Knix. I haven’t tried the Thinx ones so I don’t know how they compare. Knix is a Canadian company and has a store in Vancouver if you are ever on the mainland:)
Thinx is alright, although their actual sewn seams on the garments left something to be desired--some of my underwear is unraveling in some areas, while in others the seam is so bulky it rubs against my skin too much and leave it irritated. I love Thinx's sleep shorts and think they're fantastic, but I've been itching to give Knix underwear a try.
@@nataliamaliga The Knix ones have no sewn seams and aren't bulky. The issue however then is that the seams are made using some sort of adhesive or something? This isn't an issue for normal wear but does become an issue for long bike rides or other high friction sweat inducing exercise.
I've tried two different pairs of Cariumas. I love the look (we're a skateboard household) but, as you said, the fit...just isn't comfy. I went back to my Etikos.
Hey guys, loved the video! JUst wanted to make a suggestion to look into Blackhorse Lane jeans if you're after a pair that will last a lifetime and can be easily repaired!
Love my Thinx so 🤷🏻♀️ though I do find the black interior also troublesome.. how do i know if I cleaned it well enough!?? Debating on a Diva cup as tampons were a no go 👎🏼
I've had bikes with the drop down handlebars which everyone seems to love and could not stand it! I was so uncomfortable in the really aggressive sitting position. I liked the bike through so I bought new handlebars that allow me to sit up in a more relaxed position and now I love it! Maybe research European commuting bikes?
Leah I just bought a menstrual cup ( the Liberty Cup ) and i am so happy to say goodbye to tampons. I worry about what to do when I work 9 hours during the week though . . . I am curious about how others handle this.
If it is an option, wear also a pair of period underwear. They don't have to be for heavy periods, I find that sometimes wearing a pair with light-moderate absorbency does the trick for me.
What percentage of your Adsense were you able to donate last year? Could you maybe donate the other part this year and complete your commitment? Glad future proof is doing so well! Might make the donation goal of 2021 possible:)
Hi Levi and Leah!! My bro and friends are in Canada for exchange and they are in their Airbnb mainly for online class. What would u suggest that I can order for them as food or gifts to brighten their stay while been stuck in the house? As they are on a budget , I am hoping to send something to spruce up their time there. Any advise is appreciated !
Love this type of videos! :) Regarding the Period underwear: I would assume that the inside is black, so you can't see blood stains that won't remove with washing.
Get barefoot shoes!!!! Also have you tried wearing the jeans around the house and doing lunges and stuff in them? I’ve turned tight jeans into my favs with that method
The shoes, the top, bike and shelf... can´t you let them go back with a "complain" (whatever that is called in english)? Don´t you have that law? If I bought a top that rected like Leahs I would be able to return it and have ALL my money back since it´s not living up to what it should. I can do so within 3 years in Sweden/Europe/EU. To return things like that makes the companys to be aware of that they need to be on top of the quality of their products. If no one points it out for them, how would they know and have a chance to better themself. (unless it´s a dodgy crappy company wh odoesn´t care anyway, on that you hopefully wouldn´t buy from in the first place) Same with Levis shoes, the tipping shelf and the bike. Levis jeans that are to tight, just return them as "doesn´t fit" and you will get all the money back to. Or is that not an option either? The period pants will fall under "hygiene" and can´t be returned tho a friend might want them. For someone who "bleeds" alot those might be ok during sleep.

"Everyone wears shoes and shirts" My aspiration is actually to move to Hawaii and live shirtless and barefoot, no joke.
That sounds fantastic haha. We’ll be sure to think of that next time we say stuff like that 😅
I moved from Hawaii to Texas and I didn’t realize how much I didn’t wear shoes until I moved here. First couple months, I got some really weird looks being at the park with no shoes with my dogs. Jajaja

Reselling things is key...even at a loss. Most people's bad purchases I think just end up in a garage.

Great point! Thanks for commenting Serg!
i’m pretty sure i almost bought that same plant stand off fb marketplace, now i’m feeling glad i didn’t 😅
Not me crying about the fact that Leah introduced the video 🎉😭
You should spray paint the plant stand to match the couch or other furniture

Thinx underwear plus the Organicup have completely changed how I manage my period. Zero waste and so easy, I forget I even have it!

You can't deceive us Levi, the only reason you buy Levi's jeans is out of pure narcissism hahaha

@@nataliamaliga The Knix ones have no sewn seams and aren't bulky. The issue however then is that the seams are made using some sort of adhesive or something? This isn't an issue for normal wear but does become an issue for long bike rides or other high friction sweat inducing exercise.
Oh no! Never buy a bike without test riding it first. hahahah.
I love that Levi is Squamish about the period products. Great roll model. More men should be like that.
I've tried two different pairs of Cariumas. I love the look (we're a skateboard household) but, as you said, the fit...just isn't comfy. I went back to my Etikos.
I've had a set of floating shelves.
Literally how tf are they supposed to not sag. (if you put anything more than idk photos or plushies on it.)
ALSO THINX IS MY FAVE PERIOD UNDERWEAR AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT
Hey guys, loved the video! JUst wanted to make a suggestion to look into Blackhorse Lane jeans if you're after a pair that will last a lifetime and can be easily repaired!
Thanks for the suggestion Oliver!
$150 less than what you bought a bike for is actually really good
The pilling top can be fixed with a razor, and Levi's Levi's.. he should just wear them a bunch so they'll stretch and fit! :D
Love my Thinx so 🤷🏻♀️ though I do find the black interior also troublesome.. how do i know if I cleaned it well enough!?? Debating on a Diva cup as tampons were a no go 👎🏼
I bought a shirt that ripped on the first wear this year. I was very dissatisfied.
I've had bikes with the drop down handlebars which everyone seems to love and could not stand it! I was so uncomfortable in the really aggressive sitting position. I liked the bike through so I bought new handlebars that allow me to sit up in a more relaxed position and now I love it! Maybe research European commuting bikes?
Thanks for sharing! We love the dutch bicycles but here in victoria the hills are too big. So we need something that can handle more terrain sadly.
Those shoes might not have been comfortable, but they are so cute!
Why not get the proper size?
Leah I just bought a menstrual cup ( the Liberty Cup ) and i am so happy to say goodbye to tampons. I worry about what to do when I work 9 hours during the week though . . . I am curious about how others handle this.
If it is an option, wear also a pair of period underwear. They don't have to be for heavy periods, I find that sometimes wearing a pair with light-moderate absorbency does the trick for me.
Diva cup are awesome you won't regret that precious.
6:18 …do Canadians pronounce some words differently to avoid redundancy? You said project two different ways.
What percentage of your Adsense were you able to donate last year? Could you maybe donate the other part this year and complete your commitment? Glad future proof is doing so well! Might make the donation goal of 2021 possible:)
thinx period undies changed my life and my period is a breeze for three years now (:
you can sand and stain the plant stand tho? or just paint it in general if you don't want to sand
Where’d you get that sweater Levi?
Will those jeans break in and soften? They do look nice!
the secret to being comfortable in tight jeans is briefs. idk why we're so obsessed with boxer briefs as a culture.
Nice tentree sweater 😀
Do you still like your Nothing new shoes?
Hi Levi and Leah!! My bro and friends are in Canada for exchange and they are in their Airbnb mainly for online class. What would u suggest that I can order for them as food or gifts to brighten their stay while been stuck in the house? As they are on a budget , I am hoping to send something to spruce up their time there. Any advise is appreciated !
On the cariuma box I saw 3M which pollutes a lot in my country (Belgium) so if cariuma is related to 3M it’s definitely not environmentally good
What was the brand of the period underwear?
It doesn't do any good to tell us you should not have bought the shoes if you don't tell us why.
Love this type of videos! :)
Regarding the Period underwear: I would assume that the inside is black, so you can't see blood stains that won't remove with washing.
Thanks for being here!
Cariuma is a skate shoe
My glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't like period underwear 😂
Cariuma shoes are so nice you guys are trippin the quality is wayyyyyyy better than most other skate shoe brands
You forgot to include the name of the company of the period underwear. There are quite a few now.
Sorry yeah it's called Lilova!
I've had the same bike since i think 2009 and i'm not looking forward to haveing to buy a new one haha
I love this! Life is too short to ride new bikes!
Get barefoot shoes!!!! Also have you tried wearing the jeans around the house and doing lunges and stuff in them? I’ve turned tight jeans into my favs with that method
I think its time we get bearded Levi
This comment is for the planet.
The reason why those shoes are sustainable is that you will never wear them!! LOL they will last forever!!
Didnt really explain the shoes tbh. Sounds like you bought the wrong size and you couldn't coherently come up with a way to explain it
The shoes, the top, bike and shelf... can´t you let them go back with a "complain" (whatever that is called in english)? Don´t you have that law?
If I bought a top that rected like Leahs I would be able to return it and have ALL my money back since it´s not living up to what it should. I can do so within 3 years in Sweden/Europe/EU. To return things like that makes the companys to be aware of that they need to be on top of the quality of their products. If no one points it out for them, how would they know and have a chance to better themself. (unless it´s a dodgy crappy company wh odoesn´t care anyway, on that you hopefully wouldn´t buy from in the first place) Same with Levis shoes, the tipping shelf and the bike. Levis jeans that are to tight, just return them as "doesn´t fit" and you will get all the money back to. Or is that not an option either?
The period pants will fall under "hygiene" and can´t be returned tho a friend might want them. For someone who "bleeds" alot those might be ok during sleep.
Y'all are super cute together, I'm in... sign me up, er, I'll sign myself up.
Hahaha! We’ll thanks for being here!
Here's my weekly comment; barp.
