Promising review: "If you're on the fence, just do it. They are half the price of MaxTrax and just as good, I haven't used them as a bridge, but they literally saved my and my wife's lives in a recent Colorado Blizzard on a horrible mountain pass. Good tires, and 4LO couldn't get me up the 12% grade in about 1' of fresh snow on top of 1-2" of ice and we were just sliding sideways toward the literal cliff. We got these babies out, wedged them against the front and rear opposite corners and it got us out of the terrible situation and back home." —Tony

This organizer can hold approximately 100 tea bags.
Promising review: "I love tea. In fact, I don't drink coffee so I buy a lot of varieties of tea and then put it in my cabinet and promptly forget them. I finally saw this product and bought it to help organize them. Who knew I had so many different teas! I totally forgot I had most of them. Now I have a neat display of my teas and can easily choose what tea I am in the mood for without taking things out of my cupboard. It looks great on my countertop near my fridge and doesn't take a lot of room. Love it. It's my new favorite thing. Worth every penny. Now I think I need another one." —Kasia K

This pad has 60 tear off undated sheets that will allow you to plan out your entire year.
Promising review: "This weekly planner pad is perfect! It's very cute with its floral design and the color-coded days are a nice touch. I like the bubble-style bullets, which you can check off or fill in as you complete the tasks. I especially appreciate that Saturday and Sunday get their own individual boxes, rather than having both days crammed into one small box, like many other weekly notepads do. The weekend is when you have the most chores and errands! It totally makes sense to allocate individual boxes for each day! I especially like the "bonus" Next Week box, since I can jot things to do in the following week (things I would otherwise, forget, guaranteed). The cardboard backing is very sturdy and the sheets are nice and thick. I can actually use an eraser on the paper without the paper crinkling or ripping. I also like that there are enough sheets to last a whole year of weekly planning. I'm definitely buying another one to use for next year!" —sooshi

These are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe!
Promising review: "These containers have been a lifesaver for me. I recently am doing the keto diet and prep is a huge part of success, not only for me but my husband as well for packed lunches for work. The size is perfect to fit in lunch boxes and store in an icebox. I cook and freeze as well and they hold up great. All around this was a great buy! Storage containers are expensive, and most don't hold up in the microwave very long and get stains; not the case with these at all." —Paula R.

Promising review: "Best money I’ve ever spent. I used to hate drinking water throughout the day and could never remember to do it, but this bottle turns water intake into a game. I have increased my daily water intake by over five times without even thinking about it, and I feel so much happier and healthier. Don’t even think twice about this purchase. It is SO worth it!!" —Anna

This thing looks small but boy is it mighty! A perfectly safe, spring-loaded stainless steel spike punctures the window with minimal effort so anyone stuck in a vehicle can get out. Similarly, this item also has a stainless steel razor blade that slices through seat belts.
Promising review: "I love that this fits onto a keyring. Many of these products are designed to go into your glove compartment, but the problem that I have with that concept is that in the event of an accident, the glove compartment might pop open, sending the contents flying all over the car, and you might not be able to find or reach the tool. With this product, it's on your keyring, and your keys will almost certainly still be in the ignition, and easily accessible." —Patrick W.

Promising review: "These babies are pretty sturdy and they make putting notes in a book, or planner, or magazine, or whatever a complete breeze. I really like the ease of these and if you are creative you can make these work for any project. I use them in my textbooks to summarize my notes on a chapter. I also have short-term memory loss after a car accident. I like reading novels, but can't remember things. So I use one of these as a bookmark and take a few minutes to jot down key things from the book. I really, really, really like these and I am glad they exist." —Delaney

To use these effectively, place the massage balls under the areas of muscle tension and use your body weight to ease into the massage. Gravity does all the rest!
Promising review: "This is my first ever product review. I think these things are going to save my life. I’ve been having issues with a terrible trigger point in my back from working as a dentist and the last two weeks have been excruciating and constantly painful. 10 (also somewhat excruciating) minutes rolling around on the floor with these things have almost completely wiped away my pain in a way human hands never could. I love you little massage balls." —BabySanta

Souper Cubes are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. Each set comes with two extra large silicone freezing trays with lids.
Promising review: "I purchased these Souper Cubes two years ago for myself, and recently purchased them for my mom as well. I LOVE THEM! I've been making my own chicken stock for over a decade, and have stored/frozen it in both glass Mason jars as well as plastic storage bags. I can't tell you how many jars have broken when I've been in a hurry to defrost the broth, or how many bags have leaked when I've defrosted those in hot water (I don't like using plastic in the microwave). Gallons of homemade stock, lost. :( These cubes completely changed how I freeze and store stock and leftover soups or sauce. These require less space in the freezer than glass Mason jars (they stack on top of each other), and the frozen cubes pop right out of the molds very easily. Defrosting a single cube or four at once is also so much faster. I can go from a frozen cube to hot broth in three minutes in my microwave if I forget to pull it out ahead of time when cooking. I haven't had any staining from tomato-based products, and these wash/store easily when I'm not using them. I would absolutely buy again." —Heather

Promising review: "I have suffered with extremely dry skin on my right hand with severe cracking of the skin. I've tried different lotions and have visited 3 different Dermatologists hoping that somebody could help. I've used prescription hand creams and nothing worked. The reviews for this cream were amazing and I thought, what's the worse that can happen?...cream is amazing." —angelslegacy

It works because the angle it helps you sit (aka squatting) is more conducive to an effortless bowel movement. Check out this BuzzFeeder's full review of the Squatty Potty for all the deets!
Promising review: "This is such a classy squatty potty. The plastic ones are not my style but this thing is so nice and so clean looking. I love that it has two different height options depending on your needs. It was a little confusing to put together because the instructions weren’t very clear but once we figured it out it took two seconds." —Yoshi Yui
Get it from Amazon for $32.83.
Promising review: "Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" —ysar

The Always Pan is made from nontoxic, nonstick ceramic. Each order comes with a steamer basket, spoon rest, a lid, and a pan.
Promising review: "Love this beautiful pan. I've been telling everyone about it! I really do use it for everything. It’s surprisingly light. The nontoxic/non-stick surface makes cooking that much more healthy and easy. I never even put the pan away (it’s always on my stovetop) because I use it so much and I love looking at it......my pride and joy." —Kerby C.

Promising review: "At first, my wife was very weary about using a bidet, and at one point called the idea as "unAmerican" but now, neither of us can't imagine a world without it. Toilet paper lasts longer, water usage is down. Went to a cabin recently without a bidet and using the bathroom was the only bad experience about that cabin, I'm actually back to purchase another for my second bathroom!" —John I.

The balm is also vegan, cruelty free, nontoxic, paraben free, synthetic fragrance free, and PEG free.
Promising review: "I impulse bought this lip balm after dropping my old (cheaper) one of the floor. I was not expecting much, as lip balm is typically a temporary fix for my extremely dry, sensitive lips, but this stuff is MAGICAL! My lip are truly smooth all the time WITHOUT rashes, like I get with other lip products! I love this so much, and I can’t wait to purchase again." —Whitney

Promising review: "Dudes, I can't tell you how much I don't like folding clothes. I also can't express to you how much I don't want to write a review on amazon, but here's the thing. I whip out this thing like it's cash money and flip it around like it a two dollar bill you've never seen before. I get my laundry done in six minutes max. Flat. I'm throwing everything in there, towels. Shirts. Pants. My grandmother's bathrobe. This is the best purchase I've had from Amazon. God bless my clothes looking like the gap." —Mac

They offer a variety of flavors including Cuban black beans, Trini chickpea curry, refried beans, refried black beans, and Creole red beans.
Promising review: "Who writes a review about beans? Somebody who loves beans but had given up on them, until now. This is a great product. Canned beans from my local supermarket are always a disappointment so I stopped getting them. I don't have time to cook beans myself but A Dozen Cousins beans are fresh and taste terrific. I am trying to eat healthier and these are a great way to do that. I've been trying to avoid packaged, processed foods but the natural ingredients make these different. I can feel good about eating them. The beans are whole and not mashed up like in cans. All of the varieties are seasoned well and versatile. I've had them on their own, in salads and in wrap sandwiches. I'm really happy to have found these and hope they continue to add new flavors and products. Do yourself a favor and order some. You won't regret it." —Amazon Customer

Grace Eleyae is a Black woman–owned business helping people protect their hair in style.
This satin-lined cap actually smooths my hair and shields me from my kryptonite (💦) — basically, it delivers on all its promises and also picks up my flat iron's slack. The two I own both have adjustable strings on the back so I can tighten it when I'm using it for bed or loosen it when I'm wearing it outside. After having this cap for two years, I've noticed so many other benefits: My hair is shinier, longer, feels healthier, and has less breakage. Even on days where the humidity is higher than the temperature, my hair stays perfectly coiffed.
Promising review: "I've used silk scarves for years to keep my hair off my face when I sleep and to help with dryness. Tied as tightly as I could stand they always slip and slide and come off during the night. After trying to DIY an old-fashioned style sleep bonnet (ha ha) I found the Sleep Cap. It's quite perfect! Great fit. Not too tight and can be tightened. Enough stretch to cover big heads, big hair, curlers. Doesn't shift much and doesn't come off. It's unbelievably comfortable - doesn't feel like I'm wearing a hat to bed! My hair looks great in the morning when I pull it off and the silk lining does what it's supposed to do - keeps my hair untangled and leaves the moisture in. I don't wear it out because I don't wear hats but it's cute and can be." —CL

Saged Home is a small woman-owned business based in Portland, Oregon founded by Ariel Russell. Some of their most popular items are reusable paper-less towels and all-purpose cleaners.
Promising review: "I adore these! I had bought some cheaper paperless towels that did not hold up particularly well to washing and were not very absorbent. I replaced them with these! I absolutely love the variety of patterns and they’re extremely high quality, soft, thick and durable. They'd be great for use in the kitchen for mopping up spills or wiping surfaces. They arrived quickly and in package-free shipping materials. I highly recommend investing in these." —Sarah

The under eye patches are free of parabens, fragrance, silicones, and dye.
Promising review: "I’ve tried cheaper brands here on Amazon but I think I’ll be a Skyn Iceland fan for life! I’ve used their other eye products, face washes, and masks and they’re of top quality! I put these in the freezer then apply them to my eyes for 10 minutes. They feel great! The coldness helps to wake you up. After your eyes are hydrated and significantly less puffy. I also suffer from dark circles and these have helped immensely. Well worth it." —Student

Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years and I had tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana
