Promising review: "I got this for my pillows. Having a 4- and 7-year-old who are constantly making messes in the living room, I was a bit fed up with replacing my pillows due to stains. The spraying was easy and quick, then I left them outside to air out. Today I noticed a big splatter of dried-up ketchup on the pillow. I took a wet paper towel and rubbed off the stain. It came off completely! Nothing seeped through the fabric. I just wish I used this sooner!" —Lidia

Each set comes with one 4-, 5-, and 6-inch dough press (a total of three).
Promising review: "This dough press has been a life saver! Made over 65 empanadas in a fraction of the time it normally takes me. I would usually use a fork to seal the empanadas. By the time I would be done making over 50 empanadas, my fingers would be in so much pain. Gone are the days of having to use a fork!" —Kdub

BuzzFeed editor Marquaysa Battle loves these pads! Here's what she has to say about them:
"I actually factually DO NOT know what life was before I stumbled upon these pads???? Listen, when my menstrual cycle comes around, it's typically brutal and never in my life did I ever think any pad would help me with that in any way. I didn't even buy these Honey Pot Co. pads to do that; they were just available on a cash-back offer on my fave couponing app so I grabbed 'em (I've never been loyal to any period product brand bc they all typically suck for me and so do periods LOL). But these pads!!! They're infused with natural lavender, mint, and aloe meant to soothe you and guess what?! THEY REALLY EASED MY PAIN DOWN THERE! I low-key thought the 'infused with [insert fancy ingredient here]' was really just cute marketing, kinda like how every beauty brand puts 'clean' on their labels now. But I genuinely felt the mint and lavender soothing my soreness/discomfort. It felt like a cooling sensation; it's kinda strong at first but then simmers down. The pads are 100% organic and I had no leakage issues with these during the day or with the overnight versions that I also bought. I also have a fragrance allergy and thankfully these pads didn't break me out. High school and college me? Mad jelly right now. Never using another pad brand again. Period 🤪. Also?! The Honey Pot Co. is a Black-owned and woman-owned brand. 💜"
Promising review: "I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE these. At first, the sensation was a little intense but by the second or third wear it was sensational!!! They smell amazing and the mint soothes my cramps and tenderness. I highly recommend if you are into cooling sensations for pain." —4C Natural Hair

Promising review: "I bought this a while ago because I felt like there was often too much product I couldn’t reach using the built in applicator. Each bottle is 1 ounce, and I had five 'empties' to test this spatula on. I got so much product out of these old bottles that I had to stop before finishing every bottle. My 2-ounce container is practically overflowing! Thanks to this little spatula, I now have two full bottles worth of foundation potted to use. The spatula is pointed and I think for these bottles a square-shaped spatula would have been more efficient, but nevertheless the deed is done! So impressed! (And, considering the cost of each bottle, I saved about $70 worth of foundation that I love and is no longer being sold!)" —Krystal

Promising review: “Excellent product. I highly recommend, especially to those with old toilets that don't have antimicrobial ceramic technology involved. I work as a handyman and do a lot of plumbing work, and I had never seen this type of product used before. I didn't even know it existed. Why hardware stores don't sell these, I'll never understand!” —Matthew Sileo

Promising Review: "This product is amazing! I learned about it after extensively scouring the web for the best detangling comb. After one use, I’m convinced it may be the most transformational element in the detangling process for my and my daughters’ hair. My 11-year-old didn’t even realize I was comb detangling her hair when it was her turn until she heard me singing the product’ praise. It is so important to have a product like this on the market for those with 4c hair looking to maximize the length and strength of our hair; the detangling process often feels like a hindrance to this goal. Recommending this product to everyone!" —Customer

Promising review: "The shelves complement my living room perfectly. After ordering one initially, I ended up buying a second because it looks so good and was able to add decoration into corners of the living room that otherwise were too small to hang anything. I get so many compliments and I’m able to store all of my little trinkets and meaningful small things that are usually bound to get put away somewhere." —Sara

This TikTok-famous paste can clean literally ANY mess whether it's in your bathroom, kitchen, basement or anywhere in between.
Promising review: "Amazing product. 99% all natural... no chemicals, no toxic odor. Shower wall hard water stains completely wiped out. I used other products on my 10-year-old oven door and it never came as clean. First try, I wiped on, wiped off. (Recommended at least five minutes.) Second try, I applied Pink and left it over night. Baked on grit was softened enough I could use a spoon to scrap. End result...BIG DIFFERENCE. By far the best versatile, nontoxic, gentle abrasive product. I would love a case so I could go crazy." —ap808

Promising review: "Unbelievable that I've been performing a basic bodily function incorrectly my entire life. This is a wonderful product that is well worth the money.

Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a longish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie Martin

Promising review: "So I don’t know how many of you dish out insane amounts of money on make up just to have it fall to the floor and get utterly destroyed. Pretty much the worst feeling ever. Moon mousse saved my make up and my bank account. This product is a god send. Super easy. Apply, wait for magic (I’m pretty sure it’s magic), and then shape it back to its rightful beautiful compacted self. I’ve used it on two different compacts and had amazing results. This 👏🏻Product 👏🏻Is 👏🏻Fabulous!" —Anthony Cacchio

Promising review: "These are magical! I have a favorite pair of shoes that got soaked in the rain. I thought the stench after that meant complete ruin and was ready to throw them away when I found these. I placed them inside the pumps for a week. And that was that. The stench is completely gone!!! Unbelievable." —Amazon Customer

Are you grossed out by the fact that your old toilet brush is sitting in literal filth? Then this scrubber kit is for you. It includes a wand, storage caddy, and six refill sponges, the latter of which you can THROW OUT after just one use.
Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and built up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session!" —Whitney

Promising review: "I’m pleasantly surprised that it is so easy to clean and does a great job quickly with minimal effort!! I’ve only used it for a day now, so can’t comment on sturdiness or durability, but it looks like it should last long. Just to test its limits, I added one single chopped green chile. I had expected that it won’t be able to chop or do anything in such small quantities, but It did great at finely mincing the chile! I tried overloading it with large chunks of onions and it did just as great — didn’t require any extra strength for the 'pulls.' I highly recommend this. I think it is a genius invention and a great product design!" —GDD

Lo and behold, this little tool made short work of the effort, and the results were...well I won't describe the deeply caked mass this little tool unearthed out of concern that you might be eating while you shop online. All I will say is that this was money well spent, and I highly recommend it for your drain clog removal needs." —Jon Jones

A Dozen Cousins is a small Black- and Latino-owned business that creates delicious healthy premade food. Their dishes are a fusion of Caribbean, Creole, and Latin cuisine. The brand name is adorably inspired by the owners daughter, who has 11 cousins who she loves to share these mouthwatering meals with!
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

Promising review: "This is a must-have for every kitchen. I like to put fresh herbs into most of my food. What an ingenious gadget to make it easier. Just clip and there you have it. I use a lot of green onions for various dishes. This was my prime purpose for ordering this item. It does not disappoint. It even handled several stalks at a time. I found that I could cut up the green stalks with ease. I especially like the dual purpose of the guard used to put over the blades when storing. The top of this guard also helps to clear the blades after cutting the herbs or whatever. Brilliant design!" —AZN8TV

Promising review: "How did I ever get along without this thing? We were looking for a way to dry dishes without taking up counter space with a dedicated drying rack. I decided to give this little contraption a try, and boy, am I glad I did. It is incredibly versatile and is a wonderful addition to our kitchen. So far I have used it for drying large items over the sink, filling a pot when the sink was already full, and as a counter trivet for a hot pan, and it performs beautifully in all these roles. The metal rods are strong and sturdy enough to hold heavy items, long enough to span our sink from multiple angles, and, best of all, it rolls up for easy storage when not in use. All around a great kitchen tool, and I'll never be without one again." —T. Eicher

Promising review: "This year I have been attending medical school interviews all over the country. I have ONE suit that I do not have the money to continuously dry clean between interviews. I bought these to keep with me when traveling so my suit remains pressed and fresh. I typically spray it and do not hot iron it (as it's time consuming and I have other things to worry about on interview day, like answer prep and transportation). Really does what it says, is great at keeping clothes crisp and nice-smelling, especially if you have a garment that wrinkles easily and you don't feel like ironing before each wear." —Taylor

Promising review: "This holster is a great space saver and prevents me from knocking my straightener off my counter, which always results in a broken flat iron! I was surprised by how big it was. It fits my standard flat iron perfectly with some space to spare so I could fit a brush in there. I love that it resists heat for up to 500 degrees because my flat iron goes up to 450 degrees, so I am able to keep my flat iron in there while using it. As long as you follow the directions and clean your countertop as directed, the holster will stay put. It held strong on top of my wooden desk. I highly recommend this!" —ashleywhy

Promising review: "This item replaced a solid plastic noncollapsible microwave food cover that melted when a popcorn bag was placed on top. But I digress. This thing is easy to clean (the collapsible part is silicone, so spattered food washes off easily), and is very well made. It's tall enough to cover most plates of food and shallow bowls. It folds pretty flat, so it can be easily stored somewhere other than in your microwave, but we just leave ours in the microwave all the time until we need to microwave something other than a plate of food." —JRB

Great price; also, I think this bottle will last a very long time." —Bebe

Promising review: "These have been amazing during my pregnancy. I really can't rave enough. When my body started changing, I went out and bought a new bra (I'm a 32 and got a 34), but soon it started feeling tight on me. I didn't need another bra because the cups still fit fine, then I found these extenders, and they made all the difference! I can extend without buying new bras! They are sooo soft and comfortable, you can't really feel or tell they are there. I've already recommended them to all of my pregnant friends!" —Mari

Promising review: "This literally changed my life. I was one of those people who used to complain about needing to wash my hair DAILY. I have thin, light-blonde hair. I looked greasy and unkempt after one day, not even taking into consideration working out or sweating. But now?! A whole new world. Now, my hair can look smooth and straight, because I don't need to wash, dry, then straighten every morning (what a time suck!). Now, I just straighten and dry shampoo. I've used the extra time in mornings to improve my makeup routine, take my dog on longer walks, etc. AND I look more put together at work. Get this stuff. Conserve water. Never look back." —Eemn83

Promising review: "I really like this! I am 71, with arthritis, and cleaning tubs and showers was difficult. The extendable handle is very sturdy. The scrubbing pad is tough, but did not scratch the vinyl tub or shower. We have iron in our water and if the water softener runs low on salt, the orange color in the water accumulates. I used 401 spray cleaner and the Oxo scrubber and the orange stain is gone from the white tub! Perfect!" —Carol Miller

Promising review: "I am shocked with how well this product works. I used this on a HEAVILY rusted fiberglass bathtub (worse than any photo you could find online of a rusty bathtub). I got my best results by letting my shower run with HOT water for about five minutes, and after it drained while the tub was still wet, I sprinkled Iron-Out pretty generously over the rusty areas then let it sit for about 30 mins. and then used a bristled drill bit to really work it in. When I came back the tub was sparkling white. Buy this stuff, don't even bother with anything else." —chris carp

Promising review: "I LOVE THESE. I swear these are better than the commercial stain remover pens!! For reference, immediately after buying my first one of these I had a period *incident* that pretty heavily stained our white tencel sheets. I treated the area immediately with warm water and this stain stick and it got every last bit out. I’ve also removed oil and spice stains with these. I tell everyone about these goat milk stain sticks and my mom buys them now (she is also amazed), and I mailed one to my friend. These really work incredibly well, if you’re on the fence about buying just try one." —Tori Diaz
