Straighteners in Europe?
Do they work? Or is there a certain brand that does? Thanks!!

Re: Straighteners in Europe?
With an adapter, mine broke. I was so sad.
You can probably pick up one in a drug store cheap.
We just bought a European Babyliss straightener at Bloker for about E20 the first day we arrived.

Ditto this -- if you plan to go to Europe a few times over the next few years you might be better off buying a straightener and/or blow dryer there. On my first trip to Ireland (in 1996) I bought a blow dryer there because I fried my US one (I didn't know about converters back then!). I used it for about a week or two every year (when we were in other parts of Europe I used an adaptor). It finally died last year - but that was after having it for 15 years and then using it daily when we moved abroad.
PPs pretty much covered anything I had to say about adaptors.
However, double check with where you are staying. On my recent trip to London, the hotel had American outlet adaptors built into the room. I brought my adaptors along anyway, since I had them from previous trips and used them on the euro plug ins (and then we could charge multiple electronics at the same time, which was nice).
