Review: the Bodyflik
The Bodyflik is a gadget making the rounds lately, and has generated enough net buzz that I was curious as to whether the thing actually worked. At £5 for the large or £4 for the 'sport' version (small enough to conveniently tote to the gym, if it indeed did help you dry off more easily with less recourse to towels, it would be a total steal. Less damp towels means less laundry, and less mould in the bathroom, both of which would be cheap at twice the price. Plus, being brightly coloured (and recyclable) they're just plain happy looking. So do they work?
Not only do they work, they work better than advertised. I recommend you dry your hair first so you're not getting little streams down your back, but after that, a minute or two of flicking the Bodyflik over yourself should significantly reduce how much time you spend toweling and how soggy the towels are afterward. One woman also says they're great for finishing off her pottery - the smooth curves are ideal for creating clean lines. The small one is nearly as effective but much more convenient, so I'd recommend you go for both. P + P is only £1.25 worldwide no matter how many you buy; order now and stuff stockings with them this Christmas. [GT]
