Hello Everyone

Welcome to our new website!

I hope you will find it much easier to use. My favourites are Search All Stories, the Failsafe shopping list and FAQs. These pages now offer a wealth of information including reader experiences since 1994.

Thank you for your comments so far:

  • The new website is fantastic. I'll be sure to bookmark it to my facebook as soon as it's officially launched - Margaret
  • Woah! More arresting, clear and convincing than ever before. Totally love it. - Paula
  • The new website is looking awesome. Lots of hard work there. – Sue H

 

Yes, it has been very hard work. Why do we do it? – because we receive stories like this one from Deb that came in on our launch deadline:

It is our anniversary this month - 12 months failsafe - our gift is 2 beautiful children with silky smooth skin, no more rashes, itching or screaming through the night and guess what? They are both calmer and more engaged. Behaviour was not our original motivation to become failsafe but we have noticed the changes in them in this area as well - what an absolute bonus that is. Thanks Sue & Howard for your many years of research & hard work & also for giving us a place to turn when there seemed nowhere else to go, we are forever grateful.

I'd especially like to thank web developer Coreyna at TechiChik for her tireless efforts to drag us into the 21st century.
