We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A wildly popular anti-dandruff shampoo sure to be your new BFF if you're constantly battling flakiness, itchiness, and dandruff. With the help of this ketoconazole-infused formula, you'll be able to keep your scalp happy and dandruff-free.
Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head, and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo
Get it from Amazon for $15.88.
2. A teeth-whitening pen that's easier and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes. Paying tons of $$$ at the dentist and dealing with whitening strips that never stay on properly are *not* our only options, folks! With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done.
Promising review: "I’ve had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used professional solution in a tray but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I’m proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
3. An anti-humidity spray because there's nothing more obnoxious than when you spend hours doing your 'do only for it to be ruined as soon as you step outside. This spray creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture and prevents frizziness. It lasts — wait for it — up to 72 hours (!!) or through two to three shampoos. Honestly, you'll wish you bought years ago!
Promising review: "I don't usually try all the latest hair things because my hair is very fine and it doesn't like product. But, I received as a sample and I can't believe how nice it made my hair and how long it lasted. I have to wash every single day or my hair would be limp and lifeless. You could tell if I didn't wash my hair for one day. This miracle stuff makes it so that I don't have to wash my hair for a good three days at least and it still looks fresh. It also lasts between washes, so I only have to use it every other wash or sometimes not for three or four. I can't live without this now that I found it. It took me till my 50s to find this amazing product. I sure coulda used this in my 20s!" —B.S.
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).
4. A facial hair trimmer if plucking any unwanted hairs above your lip and between your eyes takes up way too much time in your self-care routine. This ~electric~ option is painless and much faster.
Promising review: "I am beside myself with this purchase!! I bought it hoping it would at least somewhat work, as so many don't. This is absolutely perfection! It works well, it's quiet, small, easy to take with you if you so desire and most importantly...IT WORKS!!! I'm a soon-to-be-65-year-old woman who has hair where I never did before, most annoying. This gets rid of it. I used it again a couple days later and what I am finding is that I need to use it less and less. Really cool!" —Sandy E'Bell
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors).
5. OR a pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors since unwanted peach fuzz can make for uneven makeup application, and who the heck wants to deal with that? This set comes with a handy pack of three, making it easy to remove unwanted facial hair and dead skin cells and shape those brows if you want to as well. Step away from the painful tweezers!
Promising review: "I used to pay a professional to dermaplane my face once a month to remove the peach fuzz, which makes me look older and makes the makeup application more cumbersome. I searched for years for a home product to use to save money and time. This is the closest I have been able to get to professional dermaplaning in the convenience of my home, on my time/schedule, and at a fraction of the price. Love it!" —SEM1969
Get a three-count from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in a pack of nine).
6. A piercing bump solution because those annoying keloids have got to go! This can slowly help reduce the size, hardness, and redness of the keloid around your piercing. After all, your new jewelry should be the star of the show, not the bump!
This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient, as the healing process takes time!
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area." —Jordan C.
Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).
7. A pack of washable bra liners so the always-dreaded under-boob sweat doesn't ruin your outfit. This'll keep you comfortable, dry, and sweat-stain free.
Promising review: "These are so, so soft. I tuck them under my breasts and then ease my bra on top and they stay in place all day. At the end of the day they might be very damp, but my skin is comfy. Also, I'm able to rotate through them, letting them dry in between, and get a good three uses out of each before I wash them. Even then, they don't smell. Hand washing is best, but I've washed them with a mesh bag, and they were mostly ok. Easy to smooth out. I've also worn these without a bra. I needed to adjust them a bit, but I have never lost it. (My bra size is about 38 DDD)." —Leigh B
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors and in packs of three).
8. A shampoo scalp massager because what's the point of washing your hair if you aren't truly getting to the roots?! Wasting money is a BIG time annoying, and this massager will help ensure your shampoo and conditioner reaches every inch of your head — zero wasted. The soft, thick bristles cleanse and exfoliate your scalp and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp.
Fellow BuzzFeeder Emma Lord owns this exact one! Here's what she has to say:
"I started using one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
9. A Squatty Potty so you can prop your feet up while you go to the bathroom. It may seem odd, but this viral stool helps align your colon and makes the process easier and faster so you're not sitting on the toilet for several minutes!
Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am a 54-year-old man. For many years, I have been plagued with recurring hemorrhoids despite a high-fiber diet, regular BMs, and careful hygiene. Any strain would inflame the underlying condition. Dealing with hemorrhoids has been in many ways a life-altering nuisance. I purchased the Squatty Potty after a little research prompted by an online ad. The design made perfect sense, and for the low investment and promised effectiveness, it was worth the try. Well...IT WORKS! And immediately too! I am not exaggerating when I share with you all that it has changed my life. Anyway, with now weeks of usage, I can happily report that I no longer suffer from the condition. I have been able to exert as much effort I needed to evacuate without having to suffer the past consequences." —Maestroso
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two).
10. A pair of compression gloves that may help you avoid that painfully annoying feeling during your work day when your hands start to feel weak and overworked. These gloves may help relieve pain caused by arthritis, carpal tunnel, and tendonitis, too.
Read more about compression gloves and osteoarthritis at Mayo Clinic.
Promising review: "I’m 70 years old and have arthritis in my hands. I’ve used copper bracelets and other gloves for several years and they are some what helpful but these gloves seems to do a lot better. They have a tight fit and are very comfortable. They are very durable as I wear them while working outside, hunting, fishing or whatever. The other gloves I’ve had would have been torn and ripped up by now but these gloves look like I just took them out of the box and I’ve washed them twice." —Keith Proffer
Get a pair from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four sizes).
11. SOS facial spray to help soothe skin like no other. And because it's made with all-natural ingredients, it calmly and effectively soothes blemishes, dry or flaky skin, intense UV exposure, and even eczema! TL;DR: It's essential!
This has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.
BTW, Tower 28 is a woman-owned small biz!
Promising review: "This was recommended to me by a friend. My skin cleared up within a week or two. I have never gotten so many compliments on my skin. As someone who struggles with adult acne, I would highly recommend this product. I only wish it lasted longer. :)" —Dana
Get it from Amazon, Sephora, or Tower 28 for $12+ (available in two sizes).
12. A tiny toenail brace for anyone dealing with the pain and annoyance of ingrown toenails. This baby is specifically designed to help lift the curved nail and relieve the pain and pressure it causes. Many reviewers say that they see results within days!
This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and tools for application. Each brace lasts 3–6 weeks.
Promising review: "I have had problems with ingrown nails, especially on my big toes, for 50+ years. I've tried everything and over the last decade ended soaking the nails in warm water and then putting a wisp of cotton under each. It was not great but better than nothing. Then I tried CurveCorrects and found they actually work. For this I am delighted." —Michael Cieslak
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.
13. An antifungal tea tree balm to help treat things like athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, or even just dry skin. Essentially, if you've got a foot-related skin condition, this is something you *need* in your bathroom cabinet.
Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I had just about given up with getting relief from jock itch. I'm 70 years old but very active. I exercise six days a week for about 90 minutes. We also live in Florida, which is very humid and hot in the summer. I'm outside a lot during the day. I developed a stubborn case of jock itch. NOTHING WORKED! I ordered a jar of Wonder Balm. Within a couple days I started getting sweet relief!! I still get minor flareups but I'm keeping this around for everyday use!" —Gary C.
Get it from Amazon for $36.32.
14. A hydrocolloid nose patch if pimple-picking is an obnoxious habit you'd like to stop asap (it's hard, I get it😩). This is the bigger, nose-shaped version of the best-selling Mighty Patch and it'll cover your entire nose to banish *multiple* pesky zits, dirt, and oil in one fell swoop.
Promising review: "Sorcery! Wow, I don't know how these things work, but they are incredible. I have been fighting congested nose pores my entire life, with varying success. This is the first time everything just came out. No scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and poking. I am in love!" —IHateCleaning
Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55. You can also shop the original Mighty Patch pimple patches from Amazon for $11.97.
15. Or a pack of Avarelle Acne Cover Patches to help those smaller, peskier zits disappear overnight. Bonus points! These patches also prevent picking and acne scarring. Simply apply the patch right on top of your pimple in the evening and the rest is history.
Promising review: "I found this product on a BuzzFeed list and thought I’d give it a shot. Didn’t have overnight expectations but I am BLOWN AWAY. These patches are awesome little miracle workers that I had to write a review when I rarely do. Would highly recommend. I just used one last night and a spot that has been giving me trouble for a week or two is now completely flush with my skin. I used one on my back from a zit along my bra line that wasn’t healing and now is completely resolved. Plus it’s super satisfying to see all the gunk that comes out. Just make sure you leave it for a while. The first time I took it off too soon and didn’t see a difference. So hours are good. I left the one from yesterday on overnight and it worked again. So happy to find a product that doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or dry me out. Will definitely be purchasing again!" —Heather G.
Get a pack of 40 patches from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three sizes).
16. A pair of period-proof underwear because they work as an amazing alternative to wearing bulky, uncomfortable pads. They're designed to hold up to two tampons' worth of period blood and basically eliminate worry and stress about leakage!
Also, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these. They're designed so they rinse right out in the sink with soap and warm water and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there. You can read the rest of the review on Bambody period underwear for more deets!
Psst — reviewers love these undies but suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "I bought one pair of these, and then bought 20 more. Then I said goodbye to all my tampons and pads!! These never leak, fit extremely well, and are suuuuper comfy!!! If you’re wondering if they would be worth it, do not hesitate any longer!! These are life-changing!!!" —Sj
"I am so thrilled with how soft and comfortable these are! I was wearing another brand… they were fine but had a slight 'swimsuit' quality to them. These are a pleasure to wear! I just purchased two more packages so I can fully switch over to these." —M. Allison
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, multiple colors, and in three-packs).
17. And some herbal-infused pantyliners that cool soreness, calm inflammation, and are just a really comfortable addition to a pretty uncomfortable few days of flow.
The Honey Pot is a plant-based, Black woman-owned business that provides clean and effective care products such as sensitive wash, refreshing panty spray, bath bombs, menstrual cups, and more — basically everything you could need to take care of what's downstairs. Every product in the line is recyclable, cruelty-free, and made to soothe and balance the vagina!
Promising review: "This is hands down the best panty liner. I mean, I've never felt so fresh. The plant-derived herbal-infused ingredients make for a very happy, bright, and fresh feminine area. I can't like this enough!" —Lauren
Get a set of 30 from Amazon for $7.99.
18. A bottle of Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite product that reviewers swear by. It has over 85,000 5-star reviewers full of people who use it to help fade scars, soothe dryness, and moisturize without clogging pores. And yes, you can use it literally anywhere on your body!
Promising reviews: "AMAZING PRODUCT! I am amazed! I wash my face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser while in the shower, and immediately after getting out of the shower put BioOil on my skin. That is all I do. I do have a spot treatment from Neutrogena with 10% maximum-strength benzoyl peroxide for those SUPER STUBBORN pimples, but hardly use it since starting with BioOil. I will forever use this product and recommend when I can. I have olive-toned, freckled, medium to dry skin with oily nose and forehead, adult hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation. BioOil has given me a literal GLOW! I feel confident with my face again. I hardly leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Good luck on your healthy skin journey." —Amazon Customer
"Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it twice a day, morning and before i go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see notice the changes." –Amazon Customer
Get a 2-oz. bottle from Amazon for $11.04 (also available in 4.2 oz size).
19. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to treat *and* prevent painful razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn. The annoying worry about irritating sensitive areas is about to go poof!
Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can’t prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "After many years of razor burn on my face/neck, I finally broke down and bought this per a friend's recommendation. I have sensitive skin and had given up hope that anything could help. This totally changed my outlook on shaving. My neck especially would be the worst. I dab it on immediately after I rinse and dry, post-shave. It does burn a bit but that goes away pretty quickly. Totally worth it to not have razor burn/bumps anymore. I only apply it once after shaving even though the directions recommend repeat applications the following day. Go ahead and purchase, you won't be disappointed!" —bill nye
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes).
20. Or a vegan ingrown hair oil for those itchy red bumps that may appear after you shave or wax. (And yes, it can be used down there too.)
Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small biz with a special focus on the pubic zone(s). Their result-driven collection of products targets such grievances as ingrown hair prevention, dark spot treatment, and razor burn relief.
BuzzFeed editor Katy Herman uses this to stay smooth after shaving:
"I just recently received a sample of this lovely stuff, which is from an Ottawa-based small business, and I have already seen a difference in how my bikini line looks after shaving! I always struggle with razor bumps in the down-there area specifically, but this oil helps keep it soft, smooth, and bump free! The brand recommends applying it right after getting out of the shower, and you can even use it to spot-treat ingrown hairs. I'm pretty ~scent~sitive to smells, and the tea tree scent is really lovely and refreshing (it smells like a spa)! I also love the pump-style dispenser, so I don't make a greasy mess every time I use it — which, from now on, is gonna be pretty much all the time. I'm sooo excited to wear swimsuits this summer without all the bumps and irritation!"
Get it from Amazon for $26 or straight from Bushbalm for $26.
21. An earwax removal kit, a quick and easy way to clean those very important things used to hear sounds. No more waking up with clogged-up ears, you're missing the chirping birds!
Y'all, this stuff is no joke — you can check out the earwax removal kit customer reviews to see the GOBS it is taking outta people's canals.
Promising review: "So, my hubs has had issues with his ears and he has been to have them irrigated/ flushed by the doctor. This time, the doctor recommended these drops, and OMG, they worked. We used them for three days and then flushed the ears with a syringe. We had to flush about 6-8 times for each ear and HUGE CHUNKS OF WAX came pouring out. It really works!" —Mom of 2
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
22. Medicated, waterproof bandages because we all know freezing doesn't work every single time. These bandages will help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin. Thousands of reviewers say they've received amazing results, and many after just one use!
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
Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in three versions and multipacks).
23. A Kitsch microfiber hair towel, so can you look back on all those times you waited hours for your hair to dry and laugh like it didn't annoy you at all. This towel is made of super absorbent material designed to prevent frizz as well as gently and QUICKLY dry hair.
Kitsch is an Asian woman-founded business!
BuzzFeed Editor Kayla Boyd loves using this towel: "I've used hair towels for years, but this one is by far the best. Since I have thick, curly hair I try to avoid adding heat to it as much as possible. This allows my hair to dry naturally MUCH faster, and it prevents it from dripping all over me while I'm trying to do my skincare routine or get ready. The elastic around the trim helps it stay sturdily in place without being irritating at all. And obviously, it's super cute, which is always a bonus."
Promising reviews: "Kitsch Towel Wrap has made my wash days so much easier. It minimizes frizz and helps lock in all the moisture from the products I use on my hair. I definitely recommend it for all my natural girls or anyone in general 😁." —Mutiat Kakpovi
"The perfect drying towel. This is my second one of these, and I love them! Plenty of room for my long, thick, curly hair, and it helps me cut down on the time it takes to dry. Having the elastic and the button also helps to prevent my curls from being pulled straight while drying. My first one is over a year old and still going strong, so these are great quality!" —M. Jenkins
Get it from Amazon for $18.39+ (available in 10 colors/patterns).
P.S. Kitsch has matching towel scrunchies, too!
24. Burt's Bees sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil that hydrates skin and gently relieves the pain of our mistakes. Because as much as we try to remember, sometimes we forget to put on or reapply our sunscreen! Should we have to suffer with tender, sunburnt skin? Absolutely not.
Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!
Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica, I had it, and trust me when I tell you, it’s saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun, you can use this, and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized. It will not hurt, and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." —Kenneth
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
25. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream that'll hault all annoying comments about how tired you look. The rose hip and hibiscus-infused eye cream helps reduce dark circles and puffiness, leaving your eyes to look bright and wide (or alert and awake).
Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
26. A set of skin tone shaded reusable waterproof silicone Nippies reviewers say can handle even the hottest, sweatiest of days. This way, you can wear your fave backless dress or halter top without annoying bra straps in the way. Spring and summer outfits are about to get next level!
Plus, these covers come in five different skin tones! 👏
Nippies is a Los Angeles-based small biz founded in 2002.
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown says:
"Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties because, quite frankly, I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There, I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable.
I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh, and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5 stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"
Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes and five shades).
27. O'Keeffe's Lip Repair (by the same folks who make the best-selling Working Hand cream) for transforming your dry and cracking lips into the smooth, moisturized, and *healed* surface they once were.
Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." —Anna C. Adams
Get it from Amazon for $8.46.
28. Sweat Block antiperspirant towelettes that'll help keep you dry for up to an entire week! 🤯 All you have to do is wipe under your arms before bed, let them dry for five minutes, and have a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you'll have dry armpits!
Promising review: "So happy I saw this on TikTok! I was skeptical about the product because I am a very heavy sweater. There has been no deodorant that has helped this problem, but these Sweat Block wipes have literally been the best thing I've found that has made the quality of my life so much better!" —Amazon Customer
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months).
29. A stainless-steel tongue cleaner because it'll literally scrape the bad breath away...or at least help get rid of it. This will leave your tongue looking and feeling fresh, so no wincing comes your way.
Promising review: "Unfortunately, I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I [kept] trying to brush my tongue. Of course, we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner, and it had to be a stainless steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use, and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" —jordanb
Get it from Amazon for $7.27 (also available in packs of two or 12).
30. An IceBeanie headache relief cap — a Shark Tank-featured item that can help relieve headaches and migraine pain. And the best part? Instead of tiring your arms holding a cold towel to your head, you can go about your day freely. It's got a removable ice pack inside that you pop in the freezer when needed.
IceBeanie is a small business founded by surfer and migraine sufferer Nick Lamb.
Promising review: "By far one of my favorite everyday essentials. The fit could not be more perfect; it fits on my head like a glove. The fabric is SOOO smooth, soft, and comfortable. It is lightweight and doesn’t feel heavy at all. I love that the entire beanie gets cool, not just sections of it. The color is so aesthetically pleasing, and I will definitely be ordering more for my family. This product is one of my favorites because it is multifunctional; I use it when I need to cool off, when I have a headache, when I do yoga/meditate, and so much more. Do yourself a favor and buy one; you will LOVE it!!!" —Mitchel L
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).
31. Or a miracle-working Migraine Stick that helps provide you relief from headaches almost instantly. It's made with essential oils like peppermint, spearmint, and lavender that can even help clear your sinuses.
Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins.
Promising reviews: "I have had tension and migraine headaches for around 20 years. I have tried everything. OTC medication, prescription medication, pain injections, chiropractor, etc...This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I have only had two to three headaches in that time, and they were mild. I ordered more already, so I have some in my car and at home, and I bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines. It is phenomenal." —Mary D.
"This stuff is my go-to fix when I feel a migraine coming on. I suffer from sinus headaches and migraines, usually once or twice a week. I put this product on each temple, under my nose, and on my wrists when I feel the pressure starting, and it cuts the pain to a minimum.

Promising review: "I'm nearly eight months pregnant, and it's gotten harder for me to shave my legs and not miss any spots in the shower, but this has completely been a game-changer for me! So easy to use and gentle on skin, it's a quick and easy solution for painless hair removal with no risk of nicks or cuts. In addition to using it for touch-ups or missed spots, I've used it to fully shave my legs from hips to ankles when I decided at the last minute to wear shorts, and it worked great! I just had to empty the container after each leg. Highly recommend." —Elsa

33. OR Veet's sensitive hair removal gel, a hydrating cream that requires zero razors for smooth, hairless results! It has earned over 27,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, too, so I think it's safe to throw out your old box of razors that never worked well anyway.
Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin & this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leave my skin feeling smooth and silky.

Promising review: "I've struggled with a severe case of hyperhidrosis since I was born. I've tried pretty much everything out there, and besides surgery, this is the only product I've found that WORKS. I cannot say how much I LOVE this product. Other products give you this awful tingling sensation that burns. This doesn't! Once you apply it at night, you can't feel it the next morning. It worked for me after one application, and I just can't say enough great things about this. I NEVER review products, but if my review can help this company get more clients who are struggling with hyperhidrosis to try it, then it's worth it. You will not be sorry you tried this!" —Rachel Alvarez
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in a foot and underarm formula).

Promising review: "I am so impressed with this mat! I currently experience complete back soreness/tightness + back pain. My calves will also knot up, not release for days at a time. I’ve been using it for five days now and have experienced so much relief, it’s truly unbelievable! I actually want to ensure I wasn’t giving the mat more credit than it deserved so I almost didn’t use the mat this morning even through I have a painful jolt down the muscles of one side of my back — I decided to use it anyway because I didn’t want the pain to worsen throughout the day. I’m glad I did because I felt instant relief in my back and neck." —tameeka williams
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 11 colors).

Each set comes with four reusable vents in different sizes, so you can find one that perfectly fits your nose.
Promising review: "TL;DR: If you are looking for a way to reduce snoring noise, these are the best ones. For quality, these nasal tubes compared to last version one I own, are made of slightly softer silicone material. As for performance, my snore app record screenshot explains everything: the first half of my sleep has tubes on, and the second half i took it off for experiment, and it shows a significant difference in my snoring noise levels. These are the most effective nasal product I have ever used, worth every dollar I spend on it.." —Winters

37. Colossal's foot file to ensure your feet look the part as you pull your flip-flops out of storage! This tool removes dead skin, calluses, and buildup for baby-smooth skin. The feeling is also oddly satisfying! Sign. Me. Up.
Promising review: "Omg GAME-CHANGER. I am astonished. I have actual control over my calluses. My feet are embarrassing unless I literally go every two weeks for pedicures. I slack off? It’s terrible. It was an ongoing joke between me and my ex-husband. After using this ONE TIME, I could cry with excitement. In a few strokes, it shaved off all the hard, thick, ridiculous, callused mess that are my feet. I had to actually be careful to not be so aggressive like I am used to. I had literally resorted to taking a box cutter to shave off calluses. Hoping I didn’t slip. If you know what I’m talking about? Get it. Skip the files (electrics too) and the exfoliating BS. Skip the single-blade shaver. Go. Get this." —A. Donato
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

Promising review: "I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy, am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let’s be honest, the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet...10/10 would recommend!! " —Alma Elias

Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used just about every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" —Melanie Havert
Get it from Amazon for $18.

Promising review: "Great! Not to long like others I was finding! These are great if you need to go up like one to three clips, instead of two inches like others! These were just what I needed and I love you get three sizes and three colors. Totally awesome!" —Steff
Get a nine-piece variety set from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four set sizes).

Read more about how compression socks may help with foot pain by helping reduce inflammation and improving circulation, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I went on my first walk in years without pain the second day of trying these socks! I had almost given up trying to relieve the intense burning/soreness due to my plantar fasciitis, but I decided to try one last product. These socks have already changed my life and have allowed me to start working out again! Highly recommend." —Emily
Get a pair from Amazon for $14.95 (available in sizes S–XL and nine colors).
42. A bottle of Drop It, a wine sulfate and tannin remover that helps prevent that annoying wine-headache and any sinus or allergic reactions you may have after drinking.
Drop It recommends 1-2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2-3 for a glass of red, and 7-9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you're good to go.
Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab

The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out any harmful debris. But of course, it's your body, and if you want to wax your nose hairs, you're more than welcome to — just be careful, as plucking nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs.

Promising review: "I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose hairs...snag this product!!!" —Julie J.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

Promising review: "I had a terrible summer in Florida this year with the high temps and humidity and started to chafe every time I wore my sports bra (five times a week) so bad. It was painful, and my skin was breaking in places all along my sports bra band. Powder and/or Vaseline did not help. I found this product and have not had even one episode of chafing once I started using it. It's easy to apply; I just put it anywhere my sports bra band touches, front and back. haven't chafed not one time since I started using it." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in three sizes).
45. And a quick-dry lotion that helps prevent chafing and stickiness under your boobs. This product is really heaven-sent as it dries silky smooth AND scent-free.

Mad Rabbit is a Black-owned small biz founded by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor who specialize in all-natural products to heal, protect, and enhance tattoos.
Promising reviews: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward
"This stuff is the best! My girlfriend bought this before but I didn’t like the scent she had, but the spreadability of this was to die for. When I found out they had different scents, I was so excited. I want to get more tattoos just so I can put it all over my body. 🤣" —Iris Kotico
Get it from Amazon for $18.98 (available in two scents).
47. A memory foam orthopedic knee pillow if you're a side sleeper who knows and battles all the struggles of chronic pain like a warrior. LUCKILY, this cushion was made to help you out by potentially reducing back strain, aligning your spine, promoting better circulation, and alleviating pressure on your knees!
Promising review: "Bought this knee pillow on a whim and regret not purchasing it sooner. I suffer from lower back pain due to a herniated disk and only feel comfortable sleeping on my side. Beforehand, only using pillows I'd find that they were a bit too 'fluffy' and wouldn't hold form, compressing overnight, and causing me to wake with lower back pain from time to time. This product has helped tremendously. It doesn't compress very much whilst sleeping and I find myself to wake up feeling more refreshed with little to no lower back pain. 5/5." —Zed R.
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
48. Fragrance-free shoe odor absorbers, a charcoal air purifying bag that prevents the entire room from smelling like stinky feet. You can even toss one in your gym bags or luggage to help with the stench of dirty clothes!
These ✨reusable✨ odor absorbers come from small biz Moso Natural!
Promising review: "These things are AMAZING!!!! I can't believe how well these work!! I take my shoes off, pop these in, and overnight, any odor that they had is GONE!! I love that you regenerate the inserts by putting them outside in the sun, and after a year of use, you recycle them by sprinkling the carbon in your garden! Such a great and sustainable product!" —Elizabeth Klonowski
Get them from Amazon for $9.95 (available in multi-packs).
49. An easy-to-use posture corrector to encourage you to sit up straighter and use better posture. And the benefits of that? No more slumping at your work desk, proper form during workouts, and potentially waaaay less neck, back, and shoulder pain in general.
Promising reviews: "I ordered this to help with my mission of correcting my posture. I had such horrible posture as a kid and continued on with my “desk life” that I always find myself hunched over. I wear it for 30-45 mins at a time a few times a day. Works great to re-train my body on sitting up straight and with shoulders back. It’s very easy to put on and can tighten it or loosen to fit better." —Amanda
"I found myself slumping over my desk by the end of the day and I mentioned it to my hairstylist one day as she was doing my hair, and she recommended a brace for my shoulders. I found this one and I wear it about 20 minutes a day and I can feel such a difference. The tension between my shoulders doesn't turn on as quickly as it did before I started using the brace. This particular brace is just as they named it, extremely comfortable. Easy to put on and easy to take off." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.97.
50. A flossing toothbrush that reviewers with sensitive teeth find ~extremely~ helpful in a sea of tough-bristled options. It's designed with two types of bristles: flossing bristles that are 10 times thinner for really getting into the grooves between your teeth and regular firm bristles that are designed to last longer than the nylon bristles in most common toothbrushes. Also, you get to show off at the dentist now...so, there's that.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS.
Promising review: "Having been a dental assistant for over 30 years, I found this to be the best brush ever. I am 69 years old and have never had a cavity (genetic and maintenance). For the past 30 years I have used electric toothbrushes. They worked great, but I like Dr. P's brush because of the flossing like bristles. It's also the perfect size for a quick brush for each quadrant. Also, since taste buds are replaced every 4 days brushing your tongue is important to keep your breath fresh and food will taste better. Everybody brush now! Great idea from a real dentist!" —BenK
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90.
51. Natural Green Tea blotting sheets to eliminate the obnoxiously ever-present oiliness in your T-zone. (Seriously, why is it always there!?) It can be used without ruining your makeup, too. Score!
Promising review: "I LOVE these oil-absorbing sheets! I tried them out a few years ago but didn't get around to writing a review until now. I've tried other blotting sheets, and they've either broken me out or just did not absorb all the oil. Every time I come back to these, I realize they are truly the best. I have SUPER-oily skin (and cystic acne, which I have the scars to show for), and this makes me feel sooo fresh and even calms down active pimples/acne. As you can see, it truly removes all of the oil and keeps it that way for several hours. Very cute design, too, and really easy to use and keep anywhere with you. Amazing price for what it does. If you're hesitating to buy it, just go for it!" —Noopur D.
Get a pack of 100 sheets from Amazon for $6.95 (available in three formulas and various pack sizes).

The patch's scent is a soothing combination of lemon, jasmine, and rose oil!
Promising review: "Amazing! If you like heating pads during that lovely time just get it.. It says they last for six hours or something but I've had a few/all stay warm and comforting for over 15 hours! They are perfect." —SFMB
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ or straight from Rael for $17.99.

This pad has three different heat settings and an auto-shutoff for safety;* plus* it's totally machine washable.
Promising review: "There isn’t anything I don’t like. I bought it for pain relief after my hysterectomy and my gosh is it amazing. It has a two-hour auto shut-off and is super easy to operate. The heat is perfect I use high mostly for the pain relief. It is so soft and comfortable. I have been using it almost 24 hours a day to assist in relief, and it is working. Love it!" —Lisa Socash

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors and three sizes).
56. A set of Nip Strips aka handy adhesive strips you put on your nipples to prevent chaffing against your bra or T-shirt. Reviewers say they don't hurt to remove, either!
Promising review: "These were a revelation for me. I get VERY sweaty on summer runs (complete shirt and shorts saturation) and that often results in nipple chafing. I've tried bandaids and athletic tape and I sweat them right off. These have held remarkably well for 1.5+ hour runs in July heat and humidity." —lilloquacious
Get a set of 20 pairs from Amazon for $15.99.
57. Lobe support patches so you don't have to worry about any pain or lobe stretching when wearing your favorite big, heavy earrings. Just attach the patches to the back of your lobe to ~literally~ take the weight off.
Promising review: "These are amazing. They are literal lifesavers. I LOVE my heavy Kendra Scott earrings, but I’m pretty sure they’re the culprit of why my right earring hole has ripped slightly. Using these support patches, it’s as if the earrings don’t even exist. I am going to tell all of my friends to get these for their heavy statement earrings!!" —Donthemom50
Get a box of 60 patches from Amazon for $9.99.
58. Reusable exfoliating Japanese towels because no matter how hard or how long you scrub, your old loofah can't remove dead skin like these can! And according to reviewers, these towels help soothe skin conditions like eczema or keratosis pilaris, too. Use the towel in the shower to reveal super soft and super clean skin when you step out.
You can use this daily or weekly, depending on how you feel about its abrasiveness.
Promising review: "This is a holy grail to my sensitive skin and germaphobic personality! It does take time to get used to due to its rough feel, but once you start to use it daily, it's hard to use anything else! Nothing else gives me such a clean feeling on my skin during my showers. I used to have very bad skin conditions all over my body: eczema, body acne, dry patches, and dark spots. This helped clear basically everything, and now I'm more confident in showing my skin in public than I have ever been. It soaks up very nicely, and you can feel all of the dirt that's on your skin from day-to-day activities getting scrubbed off. The long length is great for reaching hard-to-reach spots, such as your back. Since it's extremely rough, I would advise against using it on your face." —Jay G.
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.50 (available in four color variation packs).
59. An effective denture cleaner since brushing your retainers and night guards daily doesn't do as much as you think it does...and it definitely doesn't rid you of the haunting white discoloration, the mild odor, or the building plaque. But surprise! These cleaning tablets will tackle it ALL in a heartbeat.
P.S. These fizzing tablets work for Invisalign, retainers, dentures, night guards, and more.
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." —Lisa R.

Promising reviews: "I get motion sick so ridiculously easy! I went on a cruise with my family and I was so nervous about getting seasick. I put these on from the time the cruise started until it ended and I did not get sick at all. Not even for one second. We hit some rough seas, and the ship was pretty rocky and I was nervous as other people in my party were starting to feel the effects of the motion. I didn’t get sick at all. I absolutely recommend these. I also took them on a snorkeling tour in Hawaii and did not get sick at all. Absolutely a must for those who get motion sick. I don’t know how they work but all I can say is amazing." —Francisco
