    30 Products To Buy On The Internet Instead Of Blushing In Front Of A Cashier

    Because you're not trying to broadcast your dandruff and stinky feet to everyone at this drug store.

    1. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly remove years' (I repeat, YEARS') worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing. 

    Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

    Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the callouses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

    2. A doctor-recommended Squatty Potty because any tough "gotta go" urges will go a little (or a lot) smoother thanks to this stool's natural colon-aligning prowess.

    Promising review: "I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." —P.W.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99. For a more ~aesthetic~ throne, splurge on the acrylic version for $79.99 or the teak wood version for $55.99

    3. A vegan exfoliating body scrub for anyone who struggles with persistent KP. This buffs away bumps by combining the benefits of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into one gentle, at-home treatment. 

    Promising review: So I have keratosis pilaris or goose-like bumps on my bum and have been always super self conscious about it. I’ve used this product five to eight times and they are seriously like GONE. It’s soooo smooth now and I’m super happy. It does say to use once a week but I’ve just been using it every time I shower (which is almost every day lol). I only use a dime size amount and it’s able to cover my bum and some of my legs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who also has pesky bumps on their body. Also this product has no scent, which is a plus for anyone who has sensitive skin!!" —Ang M

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes). 

    4. A box of waterproof medicated pads you apply like bandages to finally force out the wart living rent-free under your skin.

    Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated Band-Aids and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these Band-Aids every day for a week and the next week, my wart is gone. So far, it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth. Highly recommend!" —J

    5. This Korean exfoliating mitt if you spend every shower examining your skin and wondering "How do I get rid of these bumps?" The answer: these gloves, which will slough away dead skin right before your eyes.

    Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a two-pack).

    6. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars that are packed with all the skin-loving good stuff (vitamin C, turmeric, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and MORE) to help even out skin and diminish dark spots wherever you need it. 

    Promising review: "So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I’m usually a "full face of makeup at all times" kind of girl because of my insecurities but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." —Adrienne Jerkins

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99.

    7. A scrub-free mold and mildew stain remover so you can take care of any embarrassingly nasty cleaning challenges in no time at all. Just spray the ready-made formula and watch stubborn stains and odors ~disappear~ right before your eyes.

    RMR Brands is a small business that launched in 2013 creating powerful cleaning solutions for your toughest messes. 

    Promising review: "The caulking between our shower tile and tub was poorly installed and has always been a pain to clean. This product brought my grueling 45-minute process down to about 25 seconds. I NEVER leave reviews but I will happily put my name behind this product!!" —Kelsi 

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes).

    8. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are tough to use, expensive, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. With this pen you can get quick results. And the best part? No lingering sensitivity. 

    Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.

    9. Some seamless bra liners made from an ultra-soft blend of cotton and bamboo to prevent under-boob sweat stains and all the chafing and discomfort that comes with it. 

    Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for" —Niko

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in a variety of color combinations).

    10. A citrus-scented pet odor eliminator if you're going to war against lingering stinks that just won't go away. This pet-safe formula was designed for use in boarding kennels and feedlots, so you can rest assured that the one corner your cat likes to pee in won't be too big of a job.

    Promising review: "I used this on our carpet. My daughter's cat started peeing in the corner. I paid a lot of money to have a company come out and use an enzyme cleaner on just the corner. It did not take the order away!! I used this cleaner, and IT WORKED!! I can’t believe it, but the cat pee smell is completely gone! I even got down on my hands and knees to smell the carpet…this stuff is amazing!!!!" —Lori 

    Get it from Amazon for $14.98

    11. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that'll prove to be a small-but-mighty investment when you see all the weird tongue goo living in your mouth causing bad breath and bacteria buildup.

    before photo of a reviewer with a thick white film on their tongue
    the same reviewer's tongue with the white film scraped off

    Promising review: "I was a little unsure what to expect. I had never used something like this before, but my girlfriend says my breath stinks and she deserves better than that. I brush and floss, but there is still that 'thing'...that stank under the normal mouth breath. Using this has removed that. Not really sure how it works or why that layer of spit and stuff on your tongue has to smell so bad, but this removes it well and also feels kinda nice. Thank you!" —nick

    Get two from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in two finishes and in multipacks).

    12. A box of Mighty Patch pimple patches containing hydrocolloid so you can stop that zit dead in its tracks with gunk-absorbing powers that speed up the pimple healing process. The sticker format can also help prevent you from any habitual picking or popping. 

    Reviewer before and after photo using patches
    reviewer holding the white and red mighty patch box

    Promising review: "I am an older millennial who suffers from adult acne because I can’t stop touching my face throughout the day. I’m usually sitting with my hand on my chin or cheek, so I break out. I also never leave my pimples alone to heal. These little things are amazing. I will put one of them on a pimple overnight, and in the morning, the pimple is completely flat. It heals so fast. These have become a staple in my life. I highly recommend them." —Stella

    Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $11.97.

    13. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches for making your skincare dreams a reality by expunging gunk and excess oil from your nose while you sleep. The hardest part will be resisting the urge to tough your post-treatment skin now that it's as smooth as a baby seal.

    Promising review: "It had to be said. These things are disgusting, thats why you should buy them. Like, squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah if you put one of these puppies on at night you wake up and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery, but it's way less gross now that all that ugh is in that weird paper stuff and not waiting to be squeezed out of my nose like some kind of infected puss sponge." —Jack Sawyer 

    Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.98

    14. A wildly popular Bio-Oil because real-life magic (aka science) has gifted us this powerful blend of moisturizing oils and vitamins to help fade the scars and stretch marks you thought were going to stick around for the foreseeable ever. 

    a reviewer photo of the bottle of bio-oil
    a reviewer image of a scar right after surgery, six months after surgery, and how it faded three months after using the oil

    Promising review: "After just about three weeks of use I’ve seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion." —L T C

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes).

    15. A natural shoe deodorizer spray for protecting your nose from catching a whiff of something foul when you finally remove your sweaty flats after a long day of work. 

    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.

    16. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil you apply like a clear coat of polish to give your nails all the cuticle-softening, nail-strengthening nourishment they've been craving.

    I started using this stuff recently and my nails look presentable for basically the first time ever. It's no one-time-use miracle — you have to be consistent about application. But if you are consistent, you'll be able to maintain happy, hydrated nails and cuticles with pretty minimal effort. Fun bonus: It smells absolutely delicious. 

    Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month with me 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

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 

    17. A tube of antiperspirant hand cream if you experience palmar hyperhidrosis (aka excessive hand sweating), and want a solution that doesn't involve perpetually drying your palms on your pants. Apply a pea-sized dab of this nongreasy formula both day and night to help reduce hand sweat all day.

    Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shook a hand outside of mine ever before in his life...it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment up with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple of weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now and it is working AMAZING." —HECTOR LORENZO

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three scents).

    18. This sulfate-free biotin shampoo with over 34,000 5-star ratings that can help locks look thicker and prevent future loss with regular use. It's 100% safe to use on all hair types — even color-treated hair!

    Promising review: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I’m not a fan of the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." —Diane J. Huff

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

    19. A fragrance-free CeraVe salicylic acid body wash so you can treat your body to a whole new level of ~fresh~ with an allergy-tested formula that hydrates *and* exfoliates skin, locking in moisture while clearing away persistently rough, bumpy texture. 

    Promising review: "I am so grateful for this product! Between high stress levels and a job that makes me sweat a lot in the summer, I was breaking out all over my chest and upper arms. This treated the bad spots I already had and so far seems to be keeping new ones at bay. I'm sad that it didn't help my KP at all, but that's not what I bought it for, so I still give it 5 stars!" —Rachel D.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    20. A mess-free indoor bug trap because somehow these teeny tiny insects feel like the most intrusive eyesores around. This zap-free gadget uses a UV light and powerful fan to attract bugs and a built-in glue trap to keep them out of sight.

    Promising review: "Get this!! We live in Louisiana and we’re having a terrible time with mosquitoes coming into our house. They would attack our kids at night and drive us crazy. The first night we used this we caught 16!!!!!! It’s now a part of our routine to turn a sound machine on and then this misquote catcher for our kids at night. Next month it will be a year that we have had this. We now only caught one or two a week since this is not even giving them a chance to breed. I’m ordering another for my bedroom since I do not dare take the kids from their rooms." —Amazon Customer

    21. Or a fast-acting fruit fly trapper for a budget-friendly option you can place near your trash, sink, or other fruit fly breeding grounds and enjoy 45 days of pest protection.

    Just place the traps where you've spotted fruit flies before and empty half of the lure bottle into the trap.

    Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate-rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil bastards took over our house. These apple traps are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos

    22. A bestselling tightening cream to join the legions of reviewers who have given it 5 stars for its visible results and delicious scent. It's infused with caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to firm and smooth skin while adding a little shimmer. Glow, baby, glow!

    Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three sizes).

    23. A L'Oreal temporary root cover-up spray if stray grays are starting to creep up quicker than your next salon appointment. Just spray on the fast-drying formula for quick, seamless coverage that'll last until your next shampoo. 

    Promising review: "I cannot live without! Let's just say my grays are becoming more aggressive and it's just not possible to avoid them in between colorings. I've used both the dark brown and black depending on how dark my base color is and it works great. Never had an issue with color matching and it stays in until you wash. Easy to apply, just use caution near the hairline — wipes off skin easily but you wouldn't want to miss it haha." —Kristina L.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.47+ (available in 12 shades).

    24. A pack of hypoallergenic deodorant wipes that are a convenient way to freshen up from anywhere by neutralizing odors from all your stinkiest nooks and crannies — underarms, underboob, back of the knees, and, yes, even down there!

    Promising review: "Took me a little while to figure out the right angle to use this effectively but once I did it worked like a charm. I’ve used it for shaping eyebrows and managing the little bit of blonde peach fuzz I have on my upper lip. I haven’t tried it anywhere else but no bad reactions or pain, and relatively easy to maneuver with a bit of practice." —Kelly G.

    Promising review: "I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using cotton buds to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there's stuff built up that's hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five minutes to clean each earbud effectively, and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest giving this product a try. SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I ordered this balm on a whim as a remedy for a skin rash, and was very impressed with its effectiveness! After getting rid of my rash, I decided to try it elsewhere and it worked wonders on dry skin areas like elbows, knees, and feet. I was blown away with how I changed my feet entirely! As a dancer, my feet have always been a war zone: dry skin, callouses, ingrown toenails, and athlete's foot (all frequent problems over the course of many years). I was always embarrassed to wear sandals or any type of shoes that would show off parts of my feet because of all the dry skin, but sometimes it couldn't be avoided. This balm has made my feet the loveliest they have been and now I can choose any type of shoes I want to wear without embarrassment." —anengstrom

    Promising review: "It is very effective at removing ear wax and boogers! It gets both the wet mucus and the dry crusties without any fuss. We have used the classic sucker bulb from the hospital and the NoseFrida for the nose, plus baby and normal cotton swabs for ears...not only does this work better but my 6-month-old daughter HATES all of those other options, but doesn't even flinch with this! She smiles when I bring it out, she sure seems to find it as adorable as I do! Well worth the $$! Three kids and MANY MANY baby gadgets later, this will be added to my very limited 'must-have' list for sure!" —Cassie
