Baby Napkins

Keeping your baby's nappy clean and fresh can seem an insurmountable feat at times but a clean baby is a content baby - and a content baby makes for a happy parent! Mygrahak has extended its Baby department at its online wholesales groceries store at http://www.mygrahak.com. It now includes a huge range of nappies and baby toiletries at prices which are hard to beat.

When you have a baby in the house, it can seem like you're living in a sea of nappies and baby wipes. Hygiene for your little one is paramount of course and this is one area where you just can't skimp. But all those nappy changes add up and soon nappies can be a large part of your weekly shopping bill. As a leading online grocery shopping store Mygrahak is used to bringing food to its customers for less, especially when they buy food in bulk, and it wanted to do the same for parents of babies when it came to baby food as well as essential supplies such as nappies and toiletries.
In the Mygrahak Nappies & Toiletries web page you'll find all the big names from the UK's baby products market, such as Pampers, Huggies and Johnson's. There is a large range of sizes and types of both Pampers and Huggies nappies, so you'll find the ones you're looking for regardless of whether you have a newborn or a toddler. To help you dispose of soiled nappies, Mygrahak also stocks baby wipes which are fragranced. Alongside the nappies, there are all the toiletries you need for baby's nappy changes and bath time: baby wipes from Pampers and Johnson's, as well as Johnson's Baby Lotion, Baby Oil, Baby Powder and Cotton Buds.

One of the reasons Mygrahak included baby nappies and toiletries in its online food and groceries store is that parents tend to buy items such as nappies and baby wipes in bulk from supermarkets in their weekly shop to save them running out or continually having to return to the shop. Doing so means they don't benefit from bulk price deals, however, which they would if they were buying from a wholesale bulk provider. That's why Shorters Club made sure their motto of 'wholesale prices for everyone' included those who arguably deserve it most: time-starved and sleep deprived parents of babies! They don't have to pay to be a member, they can place their orders from the comfort of their own home and get them delivered to their door, and while there are some great bulk deals to be had, they can even purchase items in smaller or individual orders should they wish.

This is just part of the full range of baby products now available from online groceries store Mygrahak, which also includes a great array of baby food and drinks. View the entire range of products at mygrahak.com.

Save Money on Toiletries

Toiletries are always a part of the regular grocery list. People need shampoo, soap, toothpaste, tissue paper, etc. to maintain good hygiene all the time. Those who have a bigger household are faced with the challenges of surging grocery prices including bathroom and toilet needs. Some would even apply for cash advances just to make their paychecks meet and buy everything that the family needs. Below are some tried-and-tested money-saving tips to help every household save up on toiletry expenses.

Buy in Bulk.
The key to saving up a huge amount of money on toiletry expenses is buying wholesale instead of retail. Shop for groceries on a monthly basis. Buy the biggest size of shampoo. Buy tissue paper by dozens. It should be enough for the whole month's consumption.

Don't Personalize.
The little girl likes the floral-scented cologne but his big brother likes another. Do not give them an option. Pick neither scent and choose one that goes well with boys and girls as well. Buy items that can be used or shared by everyone in the family.

Buy in Clearance Sales.
Clearance sales give everyone the chance to minimize grocery expenses. There is a clearance rack in every department store. Head out to these aisles first before going around. Find out what items are on sale. Move on only to regular racks for other items that were not found in clearance aisles.

Opt for Cheaper Brands.
Just because the product is endorsed by a dear celebrity does not mean that it is the best. There are other brands sold at more affordable prices that work well as well. Scout the store and check out unheard brand.

Take Advantage of Promos.
Buy-one, take-one promos can help shoppers save a lot of money. For the price of one, they can buy two which could be consumed for a longer period of time. Those who have accumulated coupons can redeem their points to avail of rewards. Some can even get great discounts on selected toiletry and grocery items.

Saving up on toiletries is easy than what most people think.
All it takes is discipline and resourcefulness. It may seem like a huge challenge at first but things are guaranteed to be easier in the long run. There's no need to apply for cash advances or max out credit limits every month. Keep the above tips in mind and reduce regular toiletry costs.

Growing Market - Toiletries and Cosmetics

 Toiletry and cosmetics products are largely dependent on chemicals for their manufacturing. Growing demands for these products in the market for such products has reached nearly $7.6 billion by 2010.

Over the years demands for cosmetic products and especially the beauty products has resulted in corresponding hike in the demands for cosmetic and toiletry chemicals in United States. Annual rate or rise in demands is around 5.4%.

Reasons for Rise


Multiple reasons have contributed to the rise in demands for such chemicals such as –
* Consumer's desire to offset aging effects;
* Preferences among customers for natural products;
* Favorable trends in demographics;
* Growth in demands for active ingredients like enzymes and amino acids; and
* Continued gains in cosmetic skin care products.


Traditional Toiletry and Cosmetics Products


These days, there is a strong trend in the consumer market towards nanotechnologies and natural products like botanical extracts, soy protein, natural fats as well as oils. In addition the natural inclination of manufacturers is towards non-traditional chemicals instead of traditional chemicals like the petroleum products or commodity surfactants. One of the reasons for such decline in the popularity of non-traditional chemicals is increasing popularity of water based chemicals instead of harsh ones.

Components Gaining Rapid Growth


Some of the articles used as toiletry products and beauty products have been achieving rapid growth during 2010. Male grooming, anti-aging, 50+, and ethnic products are becoming very popular. Facial and skin care items for both men and women and exclusive mail products like higher value shaving components are becoming the craze of the day. Women oriented products like moisturizers and hair care are among the trendy items as well. In result the demand for cosmetics and toiletry products are forever on the rise.

Statistical Features


Studies conducted on the growing demands for the chemicals used in cosmetic as well as toiletry items indicate that the annual growth rates for different components during the decade 2001-2010 are as follows.

* Cosmetic and toiletry chemicals 5.4%
* Cleansing Agents and Foamier 6.9%
* Emollients and Moisturizers 5.6%
* Fragrances and Flavors 4.1%
*Processing Aids 5.0%


Role Played by NPA


Role played by the Natural Products Association or NPA in the matter has been very important. New discounts have been introduced by them to help manufacturers to meet the ever growing demands for natural products. Granting certifications to over 500 products in a period of only two years it has made a wide array of raw materials available for the manufacturers. In the process, NPA is offering the manufacturers great opportunities to bring their "Certified Natural" personal care as well as home care products to the market while availing the discounts offered by NPA.

Discount Features


NPA program has been highly successful reportedly. Discounts offered by NPA on natural ingredients for cosmetics and toiletry products include: -

* 25% in products containing four or more ingredients certified by NPA; and
* 50% in products that uses only NPA certified ingredients.

Most of the ingredients certified by NPA are natural products and it has been a major reason for the current trend in the chemical markets for cosmetics as well as toiletry products.

Christmas Gift - Men's Toiletry Kit

If you are like other women out there who hate to ponder over for a long time on what gifts to give their husbands or boyfriends, you would probably resort to technology. But if you are the thoughtful type, then you would think of ways on how to surprise your man with unusual gifts. Since it's almost Christmas and gift giving day is fast approaching, try out these gift ideas you can present to your partner.

While most men would expect something very predictable, surprise yours with something unusual like a toiletry set. You can either buy a commercial toiletry set or design one yourself. A toiletry set would normally come with a deodorant, cologne, a shower gel, and toilet spray. Buy these items separately and group them together in your personalized toiletry bag.

For men who love to spend time in the gym lifting weights or playing their favorite sport, a set of towel would be a great idea. Since it's Christmas, you can go and look for shops that sell love towels and have them personalized with a Christmas design. If you want to be sweeter, have the towels embellished with your names.

Giving your man a new set of razor accompanied with a shaving cream would surely be a wonderful idea as well. Men who shave almost every day would need a quality razor so make sure you find one that would not wear and tear easily. Meanwhile, buy a shaving cream that is perfect for sensitive skin. Look for ones with Aloe Vera or tea tree extracts on them.

Wrap things up with a trendy toiletry bag. Your man would probably need a place to store his toiletries so giving him a toiletry bag would make him thank you. There are different types of toiletry bags depending on the number of items you want to store inside. Just like your love towel earlier, you can also personalize your toiletry bag by placing your man's initials on it.

Let me say this again, when choosing gifts for your man, think of something that he can make use of everyday especially for his grooming purposes. Men love to look good, and they would appreciate it if you help them in that area.

Toiletries For Trip



We all need some very basic toiletries when we travel. Who can live without a toothbrush or soap, after all? But there are some tricks to eliminating unecessary items or keeping them light and small.


  • Many of the basic items, like shampoos, soap and conditioner, will probably be provided by your hotel. I always THINK I need to pack this stuff, and end up with a suitcase loaded with tiny hotel bottles. Even if you won't be staying somewhere with great toiletries, what could be more fun than having an excuse to by French milled soap?
  • You probably will, however, want to bring your own deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush. Even if you can find it there at a drug store, those are the kind of items that most of us want to have handy at all times. The selection of French deodorants is also just awful.
  • Save yourself the over-charges of buying sample sizes. Get a few small bottles (preferably metal or solid ones) and fill them with your favorites and add a label. Or go around to freebies sites to find companies that give away samples (Oil of Olay gives great ones, as do many other companies). Some come in packets instead of small bottles, which pack even better.
  • Get a small travel toiletries bag to keep this all organized. If you get a small one, it will also help you keep the toiletries under control.
  • Don't pack a hair-dryer if you can avoid it. Check with your hotel first to see if they have hair-dryers.
