Guide Review - Mama Mio - Maternity Spa Treatments
I admit it, what made me want to review this product was that one part of the line was called Boob Tube. This line is packaged attractively and has a nice texture to all of the products, though that texture is varied per product. There are at least three products in the line to address different areas: breasts, belly and legs.

I personally liked the Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Cream best. It had the lightest scent and the best texture. It was more whipped and less thick than most of the belly products I've found. It felt good and seeped into my skin the fastest and was not greasy.

I really liked how thick the Wonder-Full Balm was when you put it on. It stayed on your finger and went into just the right spot. It didn't take a lot of the balm to ease severe itching in dry places and it did not leave a greasy feeling.

The other products were very nice, but not as good as the Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Cream. The scents were also a bit stronger, which may turn off some women, particularly if they get nauseated easily or if smells bother them.

I also like the pump packaging. There is nothing like trying to hold on to a tube of belly lube with greasy hands. The pump makes that a bit easier, though the Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Cream comes in a tub. The only issue with the pumps is that some of the moms I talked to reported that they felt there was a bit of product that they couldn't get to in the bottom.
