Welcome to The Check-Out Line, where I review products (and services) that are designed to make your life easier. I give you my opinion and my opinion only. You decide for yourself. You can see my past product reviews here. This week, I'm reviewing the FUMI. Mmmmkay, I bet you're wondering what FUMI stands for...
Before I tell you more about the FUMI, did you see the ABC news piece a few years ago about how disgusting the bottom of your purse is? If not, here you go! I tend to avoid thinking about stuff like that because I've never really been a germophobe, but there are a few things I admit I've allowed to "get to me" and that's one of them, along with the hotel room glassware expose` which aired more recently. UGH. (That one's worse than the purse thing, but I digress).
Bottom line? The bottom of your purse is a breeding ground for any and all manner of microbes including -- you guessed it -- fecal bacteria! Woohoo party on, poop germs! With such a cornucopia of of microscopic nasties hanging out on the floors, anything you can do to keep your purse (and your tongue) off the floor will help. This is where the FUMI comes in. FUMI stands for Fashionable, Unique, Multipurpose Innovation. It's a bracelet that becomes a hook for your purse. No, seriously. It does.
Purpose: To keep your pretty girlie purse off the dirty, nasty floor when you're dining out.
Suggested Retail: $24.95
Pros: It's cute as a bracelet and is available in several patterns from plain silver or gold to leopard, zebra, and snake. The one I reviewed appears to be faux black snake skin and it's called "Confident." If I were to choose one today, it would be Charming. But regardless of the pattern, the designs are all the same: Clever and really functional and it holds my fully loaded Butler Bag Hybrid like it's nothing. (if you've ever picked up my purse, you know that thing is HEAVY!)
Cons: I haven't found any cons, but if I do, you'll be the first to know.
Value: I think it's a great value for the money because it has more than one function -- you KNOW how I love that!
