Carefree Ultra Protection Pantiliners

Motherhood brings a lot of feelings. There is the joy that you're a mother and the feeling of pure love. No matter what though, it doesn't change Mother Nature. Whether it's a little leak when you laugh, or just that regular time of the month, a pantiliner could be in order. Carefree just launched their new Ultra Protection Pantyliner. They have also come out with the new Ultra Pantiliner Protection. I had the opportunity to review these pantiliners on behalf of Mom Central. These pantiliners offer ten times the protection of a regular pantyliner. They also have my personal favorite: wings. Unlike bulky pads, they are very thin and flexible.

In addition to making great pantiliners, Carefree is pairing up with First30Days.com to help women make fresh starts in their life. My own fresh start was a couple of years ago, when I decided to get back into shape. I had just had my second son, and I needed to lose the weight from that pregnancy...and from my first pregnancy as well. I had already been a member of the Y. However, my regular workouts just weren't cutting it. After talking with some friends who had recently lost their baby weight, I decided to take their advice and get a personal trainer. I needed to learn how to come up with workouts for my current body not my teenage or pre-kid body.

It was a lot of hard work. I'll be honest and say that if I hadn't bought the training sessions in a package, I might not have come back for the second session. It was also expensive even with the package deals. I felt like it took one session to see an exercises, a second session to tweak it, and a third session to try something new.

Eventually I decided to train for a triathlon. It started as a joke between a trainer, a friend of mine, and me, but we then realized that it was actually quite doable. Of course this involved getting more exercise clothes and equipment. The cost quickly added up particularly when I bought a bike. I didn't own one and I certainly needed one for the biking portion of the triathlon. The triathlon was well worth the cost and effort that went into it. The equipment, trainer, and bike were a great investment.

I know that I am not alone in planning or making a fresh start. Many women also change their paths. That is why Carefree is giving advice and financial support to women on how to make changes in their lives. Women simply need to go to the Carefree site and describe their fresh start goal, state how they will achieve this goal, and explain why winning money will help them. A panel of judges, including Ariane de Bonvoisin, will then pick ten finalists. The public will then vote for their favorite. The top three winners will receive $3,000, $5,000 and $10, 000 as part of their FreshSstart Fund as well as personal tips from Ariane and a trip to New York City where they will be honored at a Carefree event in partnership with Step Up Women's Network. All other finalists will receive $1,000.

Make sure to check the site out! The deadline is July 10, 2009.
