~~The Problem~~ It is so annoying when a banana gets squished inside your bag. This horrific phenomenon presents a double edged sword as not only is your banana bruised, resulting in a disappointingly substandard lunch, but all your stuff is covered in sticky banana mush. Admittedly, this isn't exactly a life or death situation, but if it happens often enough it might just push you to the limit and leave you no choice but to fight back with a Banana Guard. So why not use a simple lunch box? Well, I walk to and from work everyday and carry my things in a cross shoulder bag. If I put a square lunch box in there it knocks uncomfortably against my ...  Read the complete review

Banana's are my favourite fruit. However, they are also the most inconvenient for me to carry around with me as I go shopping or to the gym . They don't fit well in my daughters lunchbox either, but if we carry them in our backpacks or handbags, they inevitable get bashed and bruised, and occasionally even split, smearing banana mess all over everything else. I picked up my Banana guard from Lakeland for £5.49, and there were a range of colours to choose from, all of them bright and bold. I opted for the Yellow, as this looked the least garish and the most like a banana. Essentially, this is a hard plastic case, shaped like a banana with plenty of air-holes , ...  Read the complete review

Bananas are one of my favourite fruits and I always have some in the house. Due to working a lot and going to uni most days of the week, I tend to take my own food with me as it would cost a fortune to eat out all of that time. Along with whatever food I take, I always make sure to have a piece of fruit with me and that is normally a banana. The problem with this is that they tend to get bruised and battered in my handbag quite easily. I buy all sorts of things from Lakeland and these are available from there for £5.49. Now, this is far too expensive to pay for a plastic case so I was happy to find these being sold in my local pound shop which is much better ...  Read the complete review

I originally bought this as a xmas gift for my husband a couple of years ago - admittedly as a bit of a joke! However, to his credit he has used it nearly every day since receiving it, to take his banana to work with him. The banana guard is made of a tough plastic and is (unsurprisingly) moulded into the shape of a banana. It is about 12 inches long and I have found that there are very few bananas that won't fit into it - only the occassional really straight one. The idea is, that by placing your banana into the guard it won't get bruised in transit. The case has a small clip on one side to allow you to fasten the case shut. It also has perforations on both ...  Read the complete review

In this day and age when it seems that when you are hungry, the easiest thing to go for is a chocolate bar or bag of crisps, you can really thank an invention like banana guard. I first saw these in a lakeland catologue and thought it was the best thing ever. Sometimes I eat up to three bananas a day, just because I love them. ( I know it's probably not good for my health but hey it's better than eating malteasers... right?) I dropped a few hints around my boyfriend who knows I am a really banana fan, and low and behold on my birthday I had a banana shaped gift waiting for me. The sweet guy that he is, he had wrapped it with a banana in and said ...  Read the complete review
