    36 Problem-Solving Products That — Shocker — Actually Don't Cost A Ton

    Budget-friendly hacks to handle life's little nitpicks.

    1. A pack of light-dimming stickers that are a godsend for light sleepers who cannot drift off with that annoying router light shining so brightly.

    This game-changing pack comes in a variety of 100-peel-and-stick dimmers shaped to fit lights on most electrical appliances.

    Promising review: "Ingenious little idea. I suffer from migraines, so I know how a little LED light can irritate you in an otherwise pitch-black room. This product does a great job of dimming those harsh LED indicators that EVERYTHING seems to have nowadays. They are neat, not unsightly." —Jarom A. Daszko

    Get them from Amazon for $1.49.

    2. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" that'll get rid of all that food lodged between your teeth that you know is there but just can't seem to reach. These toothbrushes have multilayer bristles that act like floss and can get into those tiny crevasses.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

    Here's what one of our editors, Emma Lord, has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." 

    Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

    Get a pair from Amazon for $8.91 (also available as a four-pack). 

    3. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner because that odor that you can find in your kitchen is probably coming from the drain and no one wants to stick their hand down there to find out what it is. Just drop this in the disposal, run it, and be amazed by its cleaning power.

    Promising review: "Easy to use. I followed directions and it works just like it says. I only use this once every month now. First use I had to do it twice (which it says if it hasn’t been cleaned in a while you may need too). Weekly I follow up with the Glisten garbage disposal freshener and that keeps my disposal working well and smelling great." —Lostbraincell

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in two styles and a multipack).

    4. A natural shoe deodorizer spray because smelly shoes make smelly feet. This spray, which is made with essential oils and smells of lemon and eucalyptus, will make your toes emerge fresh as daisies. 

    Promising review: "This product WORKS! You won’t be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty and this spray helps keep the awful odors away at least four to five days (probably longer but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell haha!) The lemon is strong and the eucalyptus I love, so I would purchase again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also so I’m sure I’ll soon be using this in his shoes also." —Traeannah Brown

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95.

    5. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash with more than 20,000 5-star reviews of people praising how it helps exfoliate without the rough, physical microbeads and buffs away bumpy skin while smoothing — thanks to hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.

    Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year it really flared up during warm weather so I gave this wash along with lotion a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses and after a couple of weeks most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can’t beat this price for the results either." —Ashley Steigerwald

    Get it from Amazon for $13.29.

    6. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier that's here to solve the age-old problem of what to do with your cooking oil after you're done making those homemade fries. Now you have a safe and clean way to dispose of the oil — just sprinkle the powder in the oil while it's still hot, let it cool, then plop it in the trash.

    Promising review: "Honestly I didn’t know if this would work, waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    7. A marvelous humidifier tank cleaner because now that you think about it, you can't quite remember the last time you cleaned your humidifier. *Thinks really hard*

    the fish swimming around a humidifier

    Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew and mold free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

    Get it from Amazon for $5.98.

    8. A bottle of SoCozy curl conditioning spray you'll love every time you breeze through the after-shower bedtime routine with your mini — no more tantrums with this detangling conditioner.

    Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. And it's free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic colors or dyes, propylene glycol, gluten, wheat, and nuts!

    Promising review: "This is the BEST product EVER! I will never use another hair detangler ever again. We use this product daily in my house, my daughter, my son, and I. Both of us girls have long and thick curly hair, and it allows us to brush through our hair with no problems! And my son mostly uses it to style his hair before gel, and because it smells so good! We tried a few products from Walmart, Ulta, and Target, and nothing was good enough. This is now on my Subscribe & Save every month!" —Tamira McLelland

    Get it from Amazon for $7.59 (also available in a pack of two).

    9. A sheet of stick-on sound dampeners that won't disturb your roommates (who aren't early birds like you) when you're rustling around in the kitchen making breakfast.

    Reviewer image of the sheet of noise dampeners
    Another reviewer image with the dampener being used on a cabinet

    Promising review: "These work very well to dampen the sounds of my idiot roommates slamming cabinet doors at all hours of the day. Just make sure you're wiping down the part of the cabinet they'll stick to before applying them. The adhesive is good and should hold for a while." —LMA

    Get a sheet of 100 from Amazon for $8.58.

    10. A tube of Jack Black Lip Balm that's jam-packed with hydration to revive the chapped and dry skin around your mouth. It works quickly thanks to ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E — plus it has SPF 25, too! 

    reviewer before and after of chapped lips and healed lips

    Promising review: "So I have been a loyal Eos fan for quite some time but you constantly have to reapply and honestly my lips are still cracked. I found Jack Black balm from a TikTok video and it has been glorious. I keep reaching for it to reapply and I don't need it. It doesn't feel greasy on my lips but it is a bit sticky? Or waxy. Either way, I don't mind it at all, and it also smells pretty darn good." —Trisha

    Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors and also in packs of three).

    11. A pack of AirPods Pro silicone hooks in case I'm not the only one who always loses an ear bud at the most inopportune time. Yes, mine have ended up in the toilet. *hides face* 😝

    GIF of reviewer moving their head around to show the security of the hooks

    And they come with a little carrying case!

    I recently ordered these little lifesavers, and I have to say I am...forgive me lord for I'm about to pun...HOOKED. I'm obsessed with my AirPods Pro as they are, I use them every day for calls and music-listening purposes, but can never leave the house with them in fear of them dropping out of my ears. (If I so much as smile or laugh, they fall out!) Well fear no more, because since I've started using these super-reliable silicone hooks, I've taken my Pods on runs and walks with absolutely no sign of slippage. I highly recommend these for anyone else who'd finally like to use their AirPods Pro in peace.

    Promising review: "Must have, it works. These are absolutely needed, stop my headphones from falling out, perfect fit. Will save you lots of money from replacing missing headphones." —Shevy1280

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.95+ (also available for the AirPods Pro Gen 2).

    12. Or! A pair of AirPod ear hooks for the people who are still repping the first gen AirPods and would like to keep them in their ears instead of on the Subway floor.

    Promising review: "These have been a lifesaver while I work outside!! Comfortable. They also seem to be easily adjustable to different size ears." —Kim

    Get a pair from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in four colors).

    13. A container of the TikTok-famous cleaning putty ideal for those nooks and crannies in your car that never seem to get clean. The best part is that you can reuse it over and over.

    Check it out on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product on TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. It’s also great for the though screen in my car! The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn’t last, just when it’s out of the container!" —Loren

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    14. An easy-to-grip Oxo veggie brush because scrubbing spuds and veggies isn't as easy as it sounds. Thanks to this tiny brush, it can be! I mean...you'll marvel at the difference.

    Promising review: "This brush is awesome!! I added some before and after photos of a potato I was scrubbing, and you can see how well the dirt comes off! Very sturdy and durable and the bristles are stiff, which is optimal for cleaning. Easy to hold and does a great job. Definitely recommend!!" —McKinley

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    15. A silicone toe cap because if you've ever known the pain of walking around with an ingrown toenail, corn, or blister and having each tiny movement induce pain, then you need this. 

    Promising review: "This is an unbelievable product! I work 12-hour shifts in the hospital and need protection for the corn on my left great toe. I purchased the size large and it fit well. Underneath my socks and athletic shoes, I completely forgot I was wearing it — bonus! The silicone is very soft and flexible and cleans easily. The product is priced well for the quality and quantity (six) that is provided. Each toe cap is packaged individually in the bag so the order can be shared with others if desired. I would absolutely recommend this since it has held up quite well for the 17 hours I often have it on (from the time I wake up until I am back from my shift). Cleans and dries easily and has maintained its shape." —LJ

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    16. Maybelline concealer complete with a built-in sponge applicator that treats dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines that have settled around your eyes.

    Kayla Suazo / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    Promising reviews: "I swear by this neutralizer! It covers my dark circles incredibly well (and instantly!), and the coverage is still light and never cakey. I love that it dries and sets very fast as well. This will not crease if you are applying it properly on the area. I have tried EVERY under eye-circle product that exists, and this is now my one and only. I can never find it anywhere except for Amazon, and I'm happy that they offer it." —Jasmine

    "I bought this after seeing a TikTok, and I am very glad I did. I am NOT a makeup expert — but this product allows anyone at any level to successfully conceal under eyes." —Jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (available in 18 shades).

    19. An adorable weekly pill organizer in the shape of a giant pill that unfolds like a tower out of a sci-fi adventure film to help you stay on track with your daily medications and supplements. Reviewers say it isn't just cute but has a lot of room to hold a lot of pills.

    This comes with a cylindrical travel case and a 7-day organizer!

    Promising review: "Super cute pill holder! I just keep it in my drawer the majority of the time so I don't generally keep the outer shell on it. However, when you do use the outer shell it is completely leakproof for traveling, in your purse, etc. which has been an issue for me in the past. Lots of space for my vitamins!!!" —Jennn

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    20. A jar of the Pink Stuff — a beloved viral sensation that'll give you TikTok review-worthy results on some of your dirtiest items.

    A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.

    Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need so LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    21. A couple of memory foam armrest pads that your elbows will thank you for as they rest in cozy office luxury atop these cushions. You might start to enjoy sitting at your desk again.

    Promising review: "I was having problems with my elbow being sore from sitting at my chair so much while working from home. I wear T-shirts a lot and my elbows were getting raw and annoyed from resting on the hard plastic arm rests all day. They fit my chair perfectly and from the minute I put them on, they gave me instant relief from the hard plastic arm rests on my chair. I highly recommend them to anyone with similar elbow issues." —BoSoxBrent

    Get them from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two colors).

    22. A bottle of Eos shea butter shaving cream for our sensitive skin besties who are prone to razor burn. Reviewers say it glides on like lotion but doesn't get super sudsy, so you can still get a super close shave. 

    Promising review: "I found this on TikTok and decided to try. I have sensitive skin and after using this I had no razor bumps! It’s weird because it doesn’t get sudsy and foamy like regular shaving cream, but this is much more moisturizing and smells great! Will definitely be using from now on." —Luis

    Get it from Amazon for $4.79 (available in five scents and in multipacks). 

    23. A handheld garlic press because mincing garlic has replaced arm day at the gym. This device allows you to simply press and roll for a quick and easy way to get all that garlicky goodness for your next amazing dish. The recipe calls for two cloves, but we'll just eyeball it. The heart knows when it's enough.

    Promising review: "If I could give this product more than 5 stars I would. It cuts through and minces garlic easily and is much easier to clean than the traditional garlic press. I bought another one for my mother-in-law and she LOVES it too. She cooks a lot and said it made her life so much easier too." —Mattix

    Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

    24. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors that reviewers say is a ~game-changer~ that's easy to use and super effective at removing dead skin and unwanted hair.

    Promising reviews: "I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows and they're perfect." —Megan Kopicko

    "I bought these blades to try at-home dermaplaning. I was nervous at first, but it’s almost impossible to cut yourself with these and it took the peach fuzz right off my face. In fact, as I was staring at my face in a magnifying mirror and removing the fuzz, I noticed my nose hair was a little out of control. I even used one of these in my nose (that’s right) and it worked great! I will be keeping a few of these on hand at all times." —TKB 

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.64 (also available in a set of nine).

    25. A pack of medicated, waterproof bandages lauded by reviewers for their ability to conceal, protect, and lift warts from their hiding place. Some people are amazed by the results after just ONE application. 

    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 14-pack from Amazon for $7.29

    26. A bottle of L’Oréal's Wonder Water Lamellar hair treatment that only takes eight seconds to transform your hair from blah to tada! It's practically a magic potion.

    @lorealparis / Via www.instagram.com, www.amazon.com

    Apply this directly to wet hair, avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Effort required = practically zero. You can use one dose for fine- to medium-textured hair, two to three doses for thick- to curly-textured hair, and add one more dose if you have long hair.

    Promising reviews: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle a lot with breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" —Theressa Hailey

    "It does exactly what it says...makes your hair soft, shiny, and cooperative! I have given this to two of my friends ALREADY — one with thick and curly hair, the other with limp and fine hair — and THEY BOTH swear by this product! Just can't think of enough good things to say! I have short bleached hair, so am getting excellent results using less than half as much as they recommend. Buy this stuff — you'll thank yourself later!!!!!" —enamelcamel

    Get it from Amazon for $9.59.

    27. A pack of detergent cup holders ready to make laundry day just a little easier. These nifty cup holders keep those detergent drips from getting on the floor. Have you ever slipped on a drop of detergent? Well, here's hoping you never do. 

    Tidy-Cup is a woman-owned small business that was started by Julie Reinhold, who created this drip catcher as a way to stop her economy-sized detergents (which she loved) from dripping all over her laundry room.

    Promising review: "I had no idea I needed this until I saw it on TikTok. Listen, it’s the little things that matter. This little thing saves me the headache of a laundry room mess. I love it. Fits perfectly on my liquid detergent. No more messes!" —Christina

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a pack of one). 

    28. A jar of Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm in case you're looking for a new makeup remover that'll actually remove all of that residue the first time.

    Promising review: "This cleansing balm is phenomenal. I'm highly sensitive to scents and this has a really nice, light citrus scent to it. I can use this on my entire face, including my eyes with no issue. My face feels clean, not tight, not dry or stripped after using this. And the best part might be the price! I hope they never stop producing this stuff, because I'm a customer for life!" —K

    Get it from Amazon for $12.34

    29. A set of durable, double-sided shower hooks that can hold your shower curtain *and* liner together without having to remove the entire hook, which makes switching them out an easy task to check off the to-do list.

    Promising review: "I hate changing out the liner on my shower because it meant I had to remove the curtain too. Not anymore! I saw this set of hooks in a TikTok review. Now I can swap out the liner with ease. The hooks also slide on the curtain rod very easily, no tugging." —Christina

    Get 12 hooks from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 12 colors).

    30. A super cute glasses display stand just begging to jazz up your nightstand or work desk as your little assistant. Fellow glasses wearers know the struggle of finding your glasses when you wake up but needing to wear them to see where you left them. Now you don't have to search. They have their own adorable home.

    Promising review: "I usually store my glasses in their case. I don't know why that's such a hassle, but I like to be able to just reach for them. But they are also unsafe when they are just sitting on my desk. This little koala solves my problem! He holds my glasses securely and does it in the cutest way possible. Now I can sit at my desk, grab my glasses, and get to work with a smile on my face. And at the end of the day, I just leave them with my koala for safe keeping. Seriously, just get one. I haven't lost my glasses once since I got this." —Bianca

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 11 styles).

    31. A set of Wad-Free pads because anyone who's ever washed bedding knows the annoyance of twisted, crumpled, wet-in-the-middle sheets that have already gone through the dryer cycle twice. These things will put an end to that travesty once and for all.

    Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. 

    Promising review: Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a pack of four).

    32. A cradle cap comb for gently removing the dead skin off your tiny human's head. It's made with the softest rubber bristles, so it won't hurt baby when removing the flakes.

    New parents, don't panic. Cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — is a very common dry scalp condition that affects infants.

    Promising review: "The pictures posted here are legit. It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It’s amazing and gross and wonderful. My babe doesn’t even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then I slowly start to comb in sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in multiple directions. It’s shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I’ve even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!" —ZMomUtah

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    33. A fridge fork for those middle-of-the-day pickle cravings when you just want ONE to scratch that itch. You don't have to worry about dropping your pickle on the ground with this handy fork you can attach to the jar. Genius!

    Promising review: "This is one of my favorite kitchen gizmos, and it doesn't take up room in the drawer! I eat lots of olives, and this keeps me from having to wash or get a clean fork when I'm in the middle of making a salad or just want a snack, and it makes spearing the olives easier, too. It comes with two sizes to fit any jar. (Even though if you need this, I feel like you probably get the big jars, right?). They are stretchy and easy to get on and off. I usually just rinse it between uses and then wash the whole set-up when I open a new jar (which is about weekly)." —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

    34. A podiatrist-level toenail clipper for thick toenails that laugh at traditional clippers. They're also helpful for digging out those ingrown toenails before they become infected.

    Here's why my BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Emma Lord loves this thing: "Hello, my toenails are problem children for two reasons: One is that they're kinda thick, the other is that I'm a long-distance runner, which doesn't play nice with toenails. I bought this recently and the difference it made immediately was ENORMOUS. Like I usually dread approaching my big toenails because they are so thick, but these painlessly and seamlessly lobbed the tops right off; I was also able to ~gently correct~ a toenail that was starting to get ingrown and help cut down a dead toenail that needed trimming but would have been painful to approach with a regular clipper."

    Promising review: "We bought this for our teen grandson to use for an ingrown toenail because he was not able to go to a nail salon that he trusted to fix this problem. It worked perfectly. He was so pleased with the result as it took care of his painful problem! Thank you for making a fantastic product. Every household should own one!" —T.S.
