Toiletries include Shampoos, Bath foams, Toothpaste, Facial wash and etc. These are items we use everyday in our life and we usually replace them once every 1 or 2 months.
When you replace them, do you usually buy back the same brands or will you be adventurous enough to try out new brands?
For toiletries like Toothpaste, I always use the same brand. I am very faithful to Darlie toothpaste. In fact, I've been using Darlie since I was very young. This is something which is passed down from my parents.
As for Shampoos and bath foams, I get very easily influenced by advertisements and I will change the brand if I think the new brand is better.
How about you? What's your shopping habit for Toiletries like?

I wasn't that faithful before. But that's because I was going through a phase of trial and error, especially for facial cleansers. I've always had some problems with pimples and I've been trying to find the best facial cleanser and moisturizer. Thankfully, I found one a year ago and I've sticked to both brands.
For toothpaste, I've always bought the same brand for 5 years but my husband sometimes requests that I buy the brand which is much more popular. To this, I just tell him, they're just the same toothpaste. They function the same. And that is, to clean teeth.

I'm using Clear and Clean Oil-Free Facial Cleanser. Have been using it for a long time since it's the only one that doesn't make more trouble pimples for me. 
As for the facial moisturizer, I'm using Myra-E. Before I used Ponds. But I always had pimple problems. So, I switched.

Not absolutely faithful.
I remain faithful till something better comes along.
I am faithful more because of the properties of the product or due to reasons for me liking it.
Not really based on the brand alone.

Hi There,
I guess I am pretty much a creature of habit. I always end up buying the same brands time in and time out. The only way I do not is if the price has gone way up, or the store is out. If the store is out I will sometimes buy nothing at all and do without until they are restocked. I tend to go with what I know instead of the unknown.
cheers, :)

Hello,I am a beauty junkie and always have to awitch everything up. If I like something I will use it for a few months and then I will change it up some. If I really like something I will keep going back to it . I really like lever aloe soap and crest whitening tropical toothpaste.

I am pretty faithful to the brands that I use. I change them every now and then just to try something new. I am usually on a budget though and I usually buy good brands of most things but have to buy a cheaper brand of other things. I am loyal to most brands that I have been with for years though.

I usually will stick to the same brands. Unless the price changes a lot, then I will see if there are cheaper alternatives.
For toilet paper, it is paper you clean your butt with. Not too expensive will do. As long as there is no abrasion after wiping my butt, any brand will do.
As for soaps and detergent, as long as there is a sale, we will get them in bulk!
Cheap and good and it keeps the clothes and body clean.

There used to be a time that I only used certain shampoos and cream rinses because I got them from my sister, for free, from her salon, and they were good stuff. But since I have moved away I have had to buy my own and I only buy it from Walmart because I can't afford to buy the salon stuff. I buy whatever brand, except nothing too cheap. I want to be using something that is at least a little good for my hair. As far as tooth paste I only buy Original Colgate. It is the only one I like the taste of.

I get bored using the same bath products for very long so I usually buy something different whenever I run out. I'm not loyal to any particular brand, I go with the price and/or the smell when it comes to bath soaps and, for hair care products, it's price and what I need it to do at the moment depending on my hair. My daughter loves Herbal Essence so I do buy that for her regularly.

I don't like using the same thing over and over. I use the same Shampoo and Conditioner. Nothing works better for my hair than TRESemme. I use Ultrabrite toothpaste most of the time. I change toilet paper all the time. I buy whatever is closest to where i'm standing at the moment. I don't always buy the same deoderant either. When I buy one I go to Walmart.com and they usually give out samples so I know what i'm buying before I buy it.

Yea. It's good to try out the samples first before making the actual purchase.
My family also change the toilet paper brand all the time. In fact, I do not know what brand I am using now. I just use whatever my mommy buys. I am not fussy with toilet papers.
