Hi! I'm at the supermarket. In the bathroom aisle there are so many things and I don't know what to pick.
At home we've run out of toothpaste and shower gel. Do you also want shampoo or deodorant?
Tell me:
- what type (for sensitive skin? scented?)
- if you are allergic to anything
- if I should also get cotton buds or soap
Thanks! - Luca

Hi Luca! Could you please get a toothpaste for sensitive teeth? For shower gel, a gentle, unscented one is fine because I'm allergic to strongly scented products. Also get a shampoo for daily use. I don't need deodorant, I already have one at home. When you can, please also buy a hand soap. Cotton buds aren't necessary. Thanks!
