A strange thing has happened over the last two decades: the world has come to believe that the most “authentic” American garments are those made in Japan. From high-end denim to oxford button-downs, Japanese brands such as UNIQLO, Kamakura Shirts, Beams, and Kapital have built their global businesses by creating the highest-quality versions of classic American casual garments—a style known in Japan as ametora, or “American traditional.”

In Ametora, cultural historian W. David Marx traces the Japanese assimilation of American fashion over the past 150 years. Now updated with a new afterword covering the last decade, Ametora shows how Japanese trendsetters and entrepreneurs mimicked, adapted, imported, and ultimately perfected American style, dramatically reshaping not only Japan’s culture but also our own.

Must try!
I LOVE the Pampers Sensitive Wipes! Excellent quality. They don't rip or tear when wiping... feel almost like using a real cloth. Much better than other brands I've tried. I've been using this brand faithfully for 3 years and have never been disappointed.

Absorbent but sometimes no indicator.
So sometimes I get the diapers with the indicator stripe and sometimes I get the nice decorative Sesame Street kind that has no clear indicator. Either way no complaints. Haven't had a blowout yet on any size. Tips on preventing blowouts: 1. Make sure you have the right size! 2. Make sure put the diaper on right. (Squirmy kid) 3. Make sure the diaper flares are out around the thighs. 4. Make sure you change the diaper often enough. 5. Too much desitin can make blowouts happen more often.

Just OK
Not too impressed. Thickness is good but I don't like the smell and the fibers/lints it leaves on my baby's skin. I like other brands better.

Great water flosser
Color: Pink+purple
Got it for my 10 year old with braces and it works great! She even takes it to sleepovers! It’s so portable and the travel safe design is great. It’s a very reasonable price as well. Would highly recommend
