Diva Diamondz Review & Giveaway

As much as we don’t like to admit it, it is natural for all of us to have stinky shoes at the end of a long day. After wearing your shoes for a long period of time, moisture builds up in your shoes. With this moisture comes bacteria, which can cause ‘stinky shoes’. Even though stinky shoes are natural, it doesn't mean there is nothing that you can do about it. I found out about a great product that claims to draw moisture and odor out of your shoes overnight. This wonderful product is called ‘Diva Diamondz’. Diva Diamondz are cute little cotton pouches that contain powerful volcanic minerals which are meant to draw the moisture and odor from your shoes. The mineral is also antimicrobial, which means that is fights bacteria and fungus.”

To use Diva Diamondz, all you have to do is place one pouch into each shoe after you are finished wearing them for the day. By the next morning, the smell and the moisture will be absorbed into the pouch. Usually, after 6 months, the pouch will start to smell like your ‘stinky shoes’. When this happens, all you have to do is place the pouches into the sun for approximately 8 hours to recharge these minerals. After the pouches are recharged, the smell will be gone and they will be ready to start eliminating the smell and moisture from your shoes once again.

In addition to Diva Diamondz, owner Wendy has created two other products: SportzGemz (for sports equipment and bags) & Gentlemen Gems (designed especially for men).

Review
I had a chance to try both the Diva Diamondz and the Diva Diamondz casual. I have to admit, when I first received them (before I tried them), I was a bit skeptical. I wondered if the Diva Diamondz would actually do what they claim to do. The first time I tried them was after a long 14 hour day. I got home, placed the Diva Diamondz in my shoes and left them overnight. The next morning, I took the Diva Diamondz out of my shoes and bravely took a sniff. I was extremely surprised! The previous night my shoes smelt horrible but the morning after, my shoes smelt brand new.

In addition to the performance of the Diva Diamondz, I love that they are completely organic and come in a wide array of fabric choices. Also, I love that they come in different styles for various types of shoes: Diva Diamondz casual and Diva Diamondz. The Diva Diamondz casual are perfect for your sneakers or other casual shoes, whereas the Diva Diamondz are a perfect fit for your high heels.

These diamons would be good to place anywhere from lockers to puttine them in your unmentionable drawers. :) I would also think you can put a diamond in a garment bad. i know my formal dresses don't smell too pretty after i put them in a garment bag for too long.

We have to travel 2 hours to every soccer game. I can hardly stand to ride in the car after the games. Maybe these would help.

Annie said...

These sort of work the same way as baking soda in the fridge, in that they absorb odors!

What a great product and I love the idea that by laying them in the sun, they are like new again!

Thanks

Use in the fridge to get rid of odors.

Boy, do we need this! Hubs drove from Virginia to south Texas this summer (with a two-night stay in Nashville) with a refrigerator in the back of his Tahoe... unfortunately, he forgot that it was full of meat!!! By the time he got home, the fridge was staaaaankeeeee!!!

We have tried everything we can think of to get rid of the smell!

mich0825 said...

I like the idea of putting them with your dirty clothes when traveling :)

coriwestphal said...

For hanging in the closet. What a great idea! I really need this. My closet is always really stuffy. Thanks for the great contest!

Tracy said...

Uses are endless, gym bag for sure, closet, one pair dedicated to workout sneakers, one pair for my work heels, and I think they would also be perfect to hide between the sofa cushion backs!

zoe hunter said...

The diamondz would work wonders on making my doggy areas smell better..I could use them on their clothes, near their bed etc. What a brilliant idea, thanks for sharing, and for the contest.

Massage said...

When I bring out my winter clothes after they've been stored, they have this "old clothes" smell even though they're clean. So, I'd stick one in there.

RobynsOnlineWorld said...

These look fantastic! I usually wear my everyday tennis shoes and no socks, so they can definitely start to get smelly. I'm thinking the Diva Diamondz would help out so much for my tennis shoes!

My favorite other use listed on their site is putting them in suitcases when you travel. Nothing ever smells as nice when you open it up for some reason.

Betty C said...

I like this suggestion: Hang the diamondz in a closet for an “odor-free” zone.
My son is a smoker and when he hangs his coat in the hall closet it makes my coats stink too. This would be so great.

Noggy said...

Hall closet where everyone hangs their coats when they come in from the rain...it needs constant attention to keep it from smelling like the local gym...that is why I need Diva Diamonds.
