Thanks for the the link, I will look into it. However, personally, I would not trust Stiftung Warentest results that much. For few other products, I looked deep into how they score them (via their videos and articles and then other resources), and imo, their score didn't seem to reflect a lab-test result, but rather "how we feel about it" result (I can elaborate more if you are interested). Here, from first look, it is much better than its other tests, however, having 10% of score for packaging (it got higher from 5%) is annoying to me. For example, it says "Five experts test how well the packs open and shut": I mean... It is good know, but I rather would have a toothpaste that is better for my teeth and opens badly compared to a toothpaste that is terrible but opens nicely!

Hmm, I always thought coca cola and other beverage brands are the main culprit for this huge plastic pollution... Do you know the percentage that oral b and co are responsible?

Can you elaborate more please? Or give us a link to the report.

In my personal experience, I confirm this meme. Best options are ones recommended by a derm though.

I have recently switched to basic parodontax toothpaste because of a previous advice from this community, and I am really happy about my decision 😁 The toothpaste is not runny, it doesn't over-foam, and seems to have improved my gum/teeth health.

I see your point, however, imo, buyers in EU can signal (with their purchases) that Trump's words/actions have real (financial) consequences, and then those EU/US billionaires (who are benefiting from cross continent trade) would pressure him to stop doing what he is doing...

Unfortunately I am not aware of any at the moment.

To give some context: it is not an alternative to whole Down Dog suite of apps, just its meditation app. Maybe better to call it an alternative to "headspace", as that is probably the most advertised meditation app.

Although it is a great free resource to start, upon initial testing, it is not as flexible as down dog meditation, e.g. you only have two "walking meditation" option compare to various combinations that you can create in Down Dog.

The app seems very nice, thanks for the suggestion :) (update: recommended it to "go European" team).

 

Hi all,

A few years ago (during COVID-19), I played around with a lot of meditation/yoga apps, and finally settled on "Down Dog". Now I wanted to get back into meditation, and almost renewed my down dog subscription, but then remembered that it is US-based.

So I was wondering if you have any suggestions regarding EU-based meditation apps? I searched for alternative on the sites set up for finding EU alternatives, but didn't see any suggestions (will add a few after hearing your inputs).

I have "Meditopia" and "7Mind" on my radar, but before committing to one of them, I wanted to hear about your experiences, and possibly other/better alternatives. In particular, I am looking for an option that allows me to set duration/type/theme flexibly, to use it in different conditions throughout the day.
