Pregnant? Suffering from heart burn, nausea or dry mouth? Then you should read on.
At 16 weeks pregnant I have been suffering from feelings of queasiness, that horrible metallic taste in my mouth and indigestion for the past three weeks. Then I heard about Lillipops. These are icepops specially formulated for pregnant women. They have no artificial colours or preservatives and are thought to work in around 70% of cases.
Each multipack contains 20 20ml ice pops in 5 different flavours:
The flavours might sound a bit weird but don’t be put off. They are actually quite tasty and refreshing. My favourite has to be the lime and vanilla ones, a flavour I wouldn’t normally go for but is actually quite delicious.
The ice pops do appear to say what they do on the box. The taste in my mouth disappears for a while being replaced by a fresh one instead. My mouth is left feeling moist and hydrated again and they seem to alleviate the queasiness for a bit too. I guess you could say they make me feel quite good so overall they get the thumbs up from me!
The only negative thing is the cost. I feel they are priced much to steeply. The retail price is £9.99 a box but they are currently on offer for £7.30. Even at this price they seem expensive for what they are.
I would love to order a box a week but with a baby on the way do not feel I could justify it. I am not quite sure what is in them to make them so much more expensive than regular ice pops but I think I might have to stick to ordering them when things are really bad or as a treat. I will order them again though.
If you want to try them for your self they are available from Amazon and are very nice.

Please note I was sent one box of Lillipops for the purpose of this review but all words and opinions are my own.
