OK, I admit I am not the most tech savvy person around. I am over 60 and sometimes I feel like the computer world is literally passing me by, or I should say whizzing by. First I mastered email, then I discovered perusing the Internet and next I found Facebook, but I do all of this kicking and scre

“No! No! No! Yesssss!” Unfortunately, I am not reviewing an "adult" toy (Hey Christine and Steph, can I do a product review of an "adult" toy for BYDLS?) I am talking about why I love Hylunia products. The line has no preservatives, no parabens and no lanolin, which makes it a big yes for me!
