    29 Slightly Embarrassing Products You'll Be Happy To Have This Spring

    Don't let chafing, excessive sweating, bad breath, and more stop you from enjoying everything this season has to offer.

    1. A pack of sweat-wicking bra liners made from cotton and bamboo to absorb the dreaded under-boob sweat that appears as soon as the temperature starts to rise outside. Reviewers confirm the liners are comfortable, don't smell, and provide sweet, sweet relief!

    Promising review: "All of you large-breasted people out there, hear me and hear me good! You need these! Don't argue, don't whine, just buy a package of these and enjoy the relief! They are soft and stay in place. I barely notice it at all, and most importantly, they have made under-boob sweat a thing of the past. No more heat rashes or icky moisture under the gals, just sweet relief and easy wash-ability! Buy them now — you'll be so very glad that you did!" — Munkykween

    2. An alcohol-free oral rinse basically guaranteed to help with any bad breath, but especially bad breath caused by allergies. Yes, if allergies were not bad enough, nasal drip can cause some nastiness in your mouth too.

    Just swish a capful for a minute and gargle for 30 seconds after you're done brushing your teeth in the morning and night.

    Promising review: "I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. I've found that gargling and using the TheraBreath throat spray in addition to rinsing with this have greatly improved my breath. Will definitely be buying again." —Alex

    3. A pack of DressWeights designed to prevent you from having a Marilyn Monroe moment when you decide to wear a dress and don't realize it's super windy outside. 🙈

    Dress Strong is a woman-owned small business based in New York City. The weights are reusable and the adhesive on the back should last for about six uses (with proper care).

    Promising review: "This is the best thing I have ever bought. I cannot recommend it enough. I live in the UK, and you know British weather. I always wear dresses to work, and it's always a problem on the train platform with the wind. OMG what a life changer. I got to work and just started telling it to all my coworkers, and I told all of my friends. Honestly, do yourself a favor and buy this. Oh, and it doesn't ruin the fabric, and it's so easy to change from different dresses, and it stays on. Yes, I absolutely recommend it." —Fabia Moizao

    Get one set from Dress Strong on Etsy for $18.99.

    4. A pack of unscented antiperspirant wipes said to keep sweatiness at bay for up to seven days!! Yes, you read that right. Just apply to any area where you sweat a lot before bed, let it air dry for five minutes, wash the treated area in the morning, and then go on living your best life.

    Oh — and just an FYI you should "patch test" this on a small area of your skin to make sure you don't get any type of reaction.

    Promising review: "I've had really bad hyperhidrosis since I was 12 (especially my armpits) and could never find anything that helps. After like 4 days of using these my pits are finally dry! I've been using them for about 2 years now. Even if I don't use them for a few days, my pits are still dry. I can finally wear fitted shirts without feeling embarrassed of my pit stains. Love these! I will say they do kind of dry out your skin but it's worth it to me." —Amazon Customer

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months).

    5. Or a pack of underarm sweat pads if your sweat is centrally located in your armpits. Place one of these pads between your skin and your shirt, and it will help absorb both perspiration and odor.

    Promising review: "These are amazing. The perfect size for me (medium and large women's cut shirts). I wear nice dress shirts outside, even in the warmer months. My fear was always having wet armpits or stains on my shirts, but not anymore. I love them and will be purchasing more when they are needed." —Amanda M.

    6. An exfoliating scrub mitt useful for removing all the excess dead skin and particles on your skin that regular soap doesn't get to. If your legs haven't seen sunlight since last fall, this mitt will help them really enjoy the fresh air when you throw on a spring dress.

    Plus, it's also great for removing self-tanner and can reduce ingrown hairs while also increasing circulation. 

    Promising review: "My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use, its true. All the grime, rolled up skin, flakes and chucks — shudder, that was on me??? All the other customers are saying how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off, and that is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use though — I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about 6 weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, a MUST-HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this! Did I say I recommend this 100%? I do!" — Kindle Customer. g'ma

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of two). 

    7. Some odor eliminators you can put in any of your shoes (from hiking boots to sandals) and remove the smells that come with wearing them outside now that the temperature is above freezing.

    The charcoal bag has no smell and absorbs excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from forming on your clothes and in your bag. You can use them for up to two years, but you should put them outside in the sun for an hour once a month so they can ~rejuvenate~.

    Promising review: "I bought these for my son's smelly golf shoes. The high school boy's team plays in spring, so there's lots of cold, wet weather. His shoes were so bad they smelled up my whole car! These seem to help dry them out, and they don't stink so bad now." —pamelann

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.90.

    8. sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil you should probably just have on hand for that sunny day when it doesn't seem warm enough to burn (but actually is). You'll be so thankful to have this waiting for you when you get home. 

    Promising review: "I bought this product to take on our vacation. I am so glad I did. I got burnt on my lower legs and tops of my feet. I though I had put enough sunscreen on. I didn't. That night I woke with my legs and feet both burning and itching. The instant I put this on I had relief. OMG I cannot say enough about this stuff. Buy it. Keep it on hand. Great product. Thank you, Burt's Bees!" —D. S. 

    Get it from Amazon for $12.41.

    9. A zipper puller here to be your new BFF when you're alone and realize the beautiful new sundress you want to wear has a stupid back zipper. No need to twist yourself into an impossible position trying to zip it up. This gadget will grab the zipper, and you can be on your way to enjoy the beautiful day.

    Promising review: "I didn’t think it would actually work. It took me a while to figure it out how to use it with the tiny zippers, but once I did, it worked wonders. I suffer from back injuries and have had surgery on my C spine, so zipping up is an absolute pain. I love jumpsuits and dresses, and they happen to all have zippers. It’s a must-have when you don’t have anyone available to zip you up or down." —Ms. Wright

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in three colors).

    10. foot file if it's been a little bit too long since you got your last pedicure. This will scrape off all the dead skin and calluses to make your feet soft and smooth again. Sandal season better watch out because here you come!

    Promising review: "AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them! This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" —Kyla Jackson

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    11. A pair of anti-chafing bands that not only look pretty great, but also do an amazing job of protecting your thighs when you wear dresses and skirts without tights. 🙌

    Promising review: "These things are amazing. Measure your thighs and buy them. Now. They are life-changing and thigh-saving. Cool enough to wear in the summer, though I would recommend only wearing them for like six hours the first few times. I went HAM and wore them for 12 hours in the middle of August, and I had a small welt on one thigh. No biggie, went away after a day or two. If your thighs even kiss each other, BUY THESE." —Kelsy

    Get a pair from Amazon for $20.69+ (available in women's sizes S–3X and in 19 styles).

    Plus, check out BuzzFeed's video review of Bandellettes anti-chafing thigh bands (and a few other things to help chafing) here.

    12. Or some anti-chafe balm for anyone who deals with chafing on more areas than just their thighs. The balm looks like deodorant but will easily glide on any part of your body and protect it as you go about your day. Don't let chafing stop you from soaking up every last bit of spring that you can. (We've been hibernating inside for too long now.)

    Promising review: "This stuff really is awesome. It really works and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." —SweetPea

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in an anti-blister balm).

    13. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to help reduce razor bumps and keep ingrown hairs from being infected. If you've been avoiding eye contact with your razor recently, then this will be a huge help. Just apply a thin layer after your shave to help improve your skin.

    Promising review: "I received this product a little less than a week ago. I was hesitant to purchase at first due to the price, but after reading so many positive reviews and the before and after pictures people were posting, I had to try it. I was very surprised by the scent — smells just like rubbing alcohol. Very easy to apply and dries quickly. Does leave a slight residue. After just one day, I saw a difference! The bumps on my legs that had been causing years of embarrassment were gone. GONE! I am very pleased with this product. Wish it wasn't so expensive for how big the bottle is, but it really is worth it. *Don't forget to put lotion on after it dries, because it did dry my skin out the time I forgot to." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes).

    14. A pair of AirPod ear hooks you can use to keep your AirPods in your ears when you (finally 🎉) head outside for a run, as one reviewer did. You can really go the distance (and soak up the nice weather) knowing that you won't lose an earbud along the way and have to retreat your steps, trying to find it.

    Promising review: "I recently bought the AirPod Pros to use with my Apple Watch to run outside. I was excited for the Pros because they have the smaller ear tips,  but even the smallest size just did not stay in during a run. I bought these over the ear hooks and some inside the ear pieces to see what might work. I just ran 5 miles with these over the ear hooks, and I might not even try the other items. They really kept the AirPods snug, and I didn't feel them at all. The price is right, and they do exactly what I needed. I will be buying more for back ups! Definitely recommend giving these a try!" — Siobhan Anne Franklin

    Get a pair from Amazon for $10.49 (available in four colors).

    15. An anti-fungal polish capable of transforming your toe nails so you can wear your favorite sandals without a second thought. It hydrates and exfoliates brittle nails as well as helps reduce discoloration and thickness. Just apply one coat daily, and you can see results in as little as two days. 

    Promising review: "This is a wonderful product. I was doubtful that a non-prescription would work, but this has. In about two months, the infected nails have peeled off and new nails have grown. All I did was put a layer over the toenail every night before going to bed. Highly recommended!" —Leah

    Get it from Amazon for $17.29.

    16. A caffeinated butt mask about to ~wake up~ your skincare routine and improve the skin texture and tone of your behind. With swimsuit season approaching quickly, you'll be so very thankful to have this arrive at your door.

    Promising review: "I will definitely be investing in more of these masks. I was a bit skeptical to try a mask for my butt (lol) but I actually felt it work! I felt the firmness and detox! I would recommend trying it, I will be purchasing more for sure. Thumbs up!" —Lauren

    17. portable car vacuum, a must-have for car owners who become the designated driver to the park and beach as soon as the temperature hits 60 degrees. No need to apologize to your friends for your messy car anymore. This vacuum is only 2.4 lbs, comes with three different-sized attachments, and plugs into your vehicle's 12-V Aux outlet.

    Promising review: "This portable vacuum is ammmmmazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard to reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one, do it! Hit that "buy now" button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha!" —Abigail

    18. Medicated, waterproof wart remover pads you apply like a bandage. It'll work to help remove that oh-so-annoying wart so you can get back to more important things in your life, such as playing fetch with your dog.

    Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed...It felt like I was doomed to have it for forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it and on a whim tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later the wart just came off. I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." —Liz Dube

    19. A volcanic stone face roller to remove all the oil and shine that appears on your face now that the sun is out when you're outside. Reviewers like this option better than oil-blotting sheets because the ball pops out and can be washed, making it a reusable and more sustainable option.

    Promising review: "I am so extremely oily. Have been dealing with my oily skin since I was in high school and still dealing with my oily skin in my mid-30s. The roller worked better than I could have expected and exceeded my expectations. This is life-changing for me!" —Wow

    20. lawn repair formula that may not be super embarrassing to buy, but it will help solve an embarrassing problem that is your yard post-winter. It's designed to reverse scorch marks, pet urine spots, and wear in high-traffic areas. You can start planning your first backyard BBQ now!

    Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" —Mariah

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five sizes and four pack sizes).

    21. A bottle of signature Fur Oil ready to tackle many of the skin issues you've been covering with long pants and sweaters. Reviewers say it can help clear pores, minimize ingrown hairs and bumps, and even reduce razor burn. You can use it ALLL over your body (yes, even your pubic hair) so you're ready to slip on your bathing suit at a moment's notice.

    Promising reviews: "I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming than shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used fur oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have not removed hair down there and have not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." —In the know

    "Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." —Megan Harmeyer

    Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes).

    22. A CeraVe body wash formulated with salicylic acid that works as an exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling and looking better. Reviewers love it for helping with little bumps, textured skin, dry hands, and even body acne. It also has hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to help keep your skin hydrated and looking its best now that more of it is seeing daylight.

    Promising review: "I’ve had issues with my skin getting tiny red dumps all over my arms and butt. And it’s been extremely embarrassing and uncomfortable! I’m glad I finally found something that has helped! I use this in combination with the body lotion! Which has helped a lot too! Definitely try it out! The bumps have mostly dried up and new skin has healed over, took at least one to two months to see results!" —Amanda

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    23. An ingrown toenail treatment specifically designed as a little brace you can put on your toenail. It applies gentle force to straighten and strengthen your nails back into a more comfortable position. No need to dread open-toe shoes anymore!

    Promising review: "It is really amazing how quickly this worked for me. After having both my big toenails 100% removed as a kid due to ingrown nails, they never grew back the same again. One was ok, but the left to was so painful as it grew extremely curved and caused a lot of dead skin to grow under it. After reading about this product, I decided it would be worth the $50. After using this product for only two weeks, it is completely uncurved! It's insane! Also a tip, paint over the strip with clear nail polish, it helps it last longer." —Guerrero Clan

    Promising review: "I’ve suffered with sweaty hands for all of my life. It’s an issue that has caused me embarrassment and anxiety where there should be neither. I’ve only just started using this lotion, but I can tell it’s making a difference. It definitely has a distinct drying effect and makes my hands feel smooth." —Gary

    25. A stainless-steel tongue scraper reviewers say they bought to help prevent bad breath but found the like it even more because it made their mouths feel super clean and also enhanced their tastebuds. And if that doesn't convince you, maybe the before-and-after pic below will do the trick. 🤢

I pulled over, positioned myself over the bag, and it was easy peezy! The crystals absorbed the urine and there was no mess or smell. I have kids and these will work great for them too. I'm really glad I bought these. We travel with our dog EVERYWHERE and we can't leave him in the car to stop for bathroom breaks at rest stops so these have already proven themselves perfect for traveling." —Ella

It comes in a soft plastic bag within a drawstring bag to keep it clean and easy to carry. It is easy to clean. Just rinse with water and a gentle soap. You can also use a wipe (flushable or baby wipe) until you are able to wash it. Shake it dry or use a napkin or paper towel.
