    33 Products Reviewers Over 60 Rely On For Handling Body Needs

    Helpful products on the lifelong journey of maintaining our needy flesh sacks.

    1. A pair of extra sharp stainless-steel toenail clippers that's similar to the ones used by podiatrists for quick and painless removal of your thickest nails (as well as ingrown ones) so you can rock your extensive sandal collection without hesitation. 

    Promising review: "I am 75-years-old and stiff. Regular clippers are difficult for me to use because of the stiffness in my lower back and legs. I can’t reach my nails well, which ends up hurting my back and I am unable to hold the position. The inch or so I gain with these clippers allows me to bend over and reach my toenails. They are sharp, so I do not have to use much pressure clipping down on the toenail." —Williamtkohut

    2. 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: "Who knew boob sweat was a thing??? I’m 65 and have never had an issue. Moved to a warmer place and found I kept getting rashes under my breast from sweat — sorry if too much info…these are the perfect solution. Cotton, comfortable, and easy to use. Fits right under bra!" —Patti K

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

    3. 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 image of a scar right after surgery, six months after surgery, and how it faded three months after using the oil

    Promising review: "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 notice the changes. Now I am using it on my arms and hands. I hope you have the same result. I am 71-years-old. No one paid me to write this." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    4. A bottle of wine drops if your before-bed glass of wine too often ends in a pounding headache. A few drops added to your glass works to naturally reduce sulfites and tannins in wine — the frequent culprits of "but I only had one glass" headaches.

    Promising review: "This product is allowing me to enjoy wine again. I'm a 62-year-old fit man. Red wine has always given me headaches the day after, and the older I've gotten the worse it's gotten. Six months ago I quit drinking wine (and most everything) because ONE glass would make me feel crappy the next day. I discovered this product and thought I'd give it a try. I'm thrilled to say I've been able to drink a number of glasses in an evening without a nasty headache the next day. And I can't tell any difference in the taste of the wine. For me it works! I've been telling everyone about it." —Eric Schurr

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    5. A tub of rejuvenating eye cream to help tighten, brighten, and lift those tired eyes and make it look like you actually got enough sleep and didn't stay up late rewatching The Office...again.

    Promising review: "I purchased this eye cream with low expectations due to the cost. (I previously spent way more on these type products) I can honestly say the results for me on my 61-year-old skin have been great. Reduction in fine lines around my eyes and better hydration. Try it! You will be pleasantly surprised." —Luv2shop58

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).

    6. An anti-dandruff shampoo for reducing scalp flaking and itching thanks to a little ingredient called ketoconazole, which kills the fungus that causes dandruff. Now you and your favorite black turtleneck can reunite without fear!

    the same reviewer with no visible scalp flakes

    Promising review: "Nizoral is the first product I have ever used that eliminates dandruff. I am 62-years-old and tried about everything and nothing works like this. I use it every other day and rub it in fully on my wet scalp. I leave it to soak on my head/scalp for about four minutes. Then the magic occurs. After about 10 days, my dandruff problem was gone. I have now been using this product for about a year and have a subscription set up as well so I always have it. I have had bad dandruff most of my life but those days are over. Very highly recommend!" —Presto

    Get it from Amazon for $15.88.

    7. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly get your feet sandal season ready by removing 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'm a 60-year-old long-distance runner and have been limping the past week or two from a stubborn callous on the ball of my foot. Out of desperation, I ordered this stuff. It came today and it worked just as advertised — a rarity! Walking pain-free after just one application, wish I knew about this years ago." —Chuck O

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    8. 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: "This product has helped transform my dry cracked cuticles and overall nail issues. I now use this religiously twice a day. As an over-60 woman I’ve never had issues until recently for whatever reason. I’ve tried a couple different brands and just prefer this. Now I have a small one for travel and the larger for everyday use. I keep it parked on my nightstand. Seems to help with the ridges, also. Seldom do I have any cuticle issues at all now. Easy to apply. Nice scent that doesn’t overwhelm. Get the big size!" —Madam Bazam

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

    9. Plus, a subtle nail concealer that adds a semi-sheer, buildable wash of color to easily mask any existing yellowing or uneven discoloration without splurging on an expensive mani.

    a reviewer with the concealer applied on their nails

    Promising reviews: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc., I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail polish...but totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looks better than natural without looking fake or cheap. Totally worth it!" —Unbiased Independent Reviewer

    Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in four shades).

    10. 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 without the lingering sensitivity, so you can smile with confidence in every graduation, vacation, and wedding photo this season. 

    Promising review: "Extremely easy to use. Completely effective in making your teeth white without much hassle. I have used many whitening kits, from trays to lights, but this pen is easy to use, which means that I actually use it more! I am a daily tea drinker and this is able to whiten my tea-stained teeth easily. I am 64-years-old and am very interested in keeping my teeth in top shape. You won't be disappointed in this product." —Lynnette Kozer

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.

    11. A set of silicone Kegel weights if you struggle with incontinence or just want sex that's less painful and more enjoyable. Basically, anyone can benefit from a stronger pelvic floor, and this set is *perfect* for Kegel newbies.

    Intimate Rose is a small biz creating wellness products, like dilators, weights, supplements, and more that help treat issues and pain related to the pelvic floor. 

    Promising review: "Ladies, this is an excellent product that really works. I am 63-years-old. I purchased the kegel weights after having a sneezing, coughing cold in December with the kind of complications I didn't want to live with. I've used the weights each morning, as recommended, and am now on the third weight. It's now the first week of February, I have another cold, and oh, happy day, no complications!!! Thank you to Melissa and her team for developing this product!" —Karen 

    Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $54.99.

    12. A pair of compression socks for anyone whose feet, ankles, or legs tend to swell up after long flights or long shifts on their feet. These cozy socks can help prevent that without uncomfortable constricting.

    Promising review: "These compression socks far exceeded my expectations. I am 65-years-old and work fulltime standing on my feet. I was starting to have problems with swelling in my ankles and lower calfs, and my feet were hurting. My legs felt tired and heavy all the time. I am wearing the socks every day to work and they are amazing! All swelling is gone, my legs feel totally energized, and my feet feel so much better. I just ordered two more pairs and have told all my coworkers about them." —Wigley 

    Get it from Amazon for $22.48+ (available in unisex sizes S–XXL and in 13 colors).

    13. A multipurpose antifungal tea tree balm so itchy, irritated skin can get the relief it needs with a nongreasy formula that's packed with nourishing ingredients like beeswax, eucalyptus, and macadamia oil. It also helps protect your skin's natural barrier, so slather this on before hot, sweaty workouts to help keep your swampiest bits clean and happy.

    Puriya is a family-owned and operated business founded by two Taiwanese sisters who integrated their products with foundational ingredients from their mother's home-brew concoction of herbs and spices that she used to soothe their eczema as children. 

    Promising review: "I am a 69-year-old woman who was getting a rash under her breasts. Nothing worked that I had so I started looking for something different. I came upon the Puriya anti-fungal balm and decided to give it a try. I began using it the day I got it and my rash was almost all gone the next day. It takes just a little to work. Glad I found this product. It REALLY works." —Pamela Z.

    Get it from Amazon for $36.32.

    14. A pair of compression gloves that may help relieve muscle and joint pain caused by arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and similar conditions, so you can type that novel, crochet some socks, or ride your bike without all the ouchies.

    Read more about compression gloves and other strategies to help relieve hand pain at Mayo Clinic

    Promising review: "Great Find! At 70-years-old, I still want to work and good ol' Arthur has taken up residence in my hands. These gloves have allowed me to continue on the keyboard with much less discomfort. I just received my third pair; you need a few to always have a clean pair. They provide comfortable support while not being too restrictive. I’ve tried other gloves, some quickly fall apart or have rough edges that are irritating on the skin. These are the best I found..." —MSE 

    Get them from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes). 

    15. A cult-favorite box of Mighty Patch Original to suck the gunk out of your pimples and help prevent any painful picking or popping. Stick it on before you go to bed, and wake up to clearer-looking skin. A true dream come true!

    Quick skincare FYI — hydrocolloid patches are most effective at treating acne that has already come to the surface (aka when you can see a whitehead). Then, the patch can more easily pull out any fluid, dead skin, and bacteria hiding in there way more easily than if there are multiple layers of skin over the pimple.

    For a true deep-dive, check out our full viral Might Pimple Patch review

    Promising review: "I am a 62-year-old female with rosacea. Mighty patches have been safe, effective, and gentle in treating my acne from rosacea. I put them on the minute a bump starts to form and wear them all night. In the morning, I am so surprised to discover how much impurities have been sucked up into the patch and how much smaller the bump appears." —Karen Keen

    Loads of reviewers compare these to Birkenstocks, saying they offer loads of comfort for a great price.

    18. A pack of Skin1004's zombie masks that'll deliver skin-tightening, fine line-reducing benefits at the small price of looking like an extra in The Walking Dead for 15 minutes. It'll just make the post-facial reveal that much more sweet!

    The kit includes eight Zombie Pack sets (powder and activator), plus one applicator brush!

    Promising review: "I love this mask. I am 61-years-old and have sensitive skin. The mask is not harsh. I put a damp cloth on my face to loosen the mask up before splashing my face with water to remove the mask. It comes off very easily that way. My pores look a little tighter afterwards and my skin feels very soft. I will purchase again." —ck

    19. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle for anyone who suffers from ear wax buildup, blockages, and impaction and wants to skip a pricy (and time-consuming) doctors trip to flush it out. 

    Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients’ earwax impactions.

    Promising review: "At 64-years-old I developed a little hearing loss in one ear. Slight itching and it sounded like I had cotton stuffed in there. I went to the doctor and the first thing they did was have a nurse use the Elephant Ear Washer on both ears. After that I could hear normally. Then they did a hearing test to get my baseline hearing levels, which were normal. The first thing I did when I got home was to purchase my own Elephant washer and I use it in the shower. I will never have plugged earwax problems ever again!" —David Armstrong

    Get it from Amazon for $31.95

    20. 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 rough, bumpy texture. 

    Promising review: "I'm 79 years old and this product has refreshed my skin. Some exfoliating soaps are harsh. This does a great job and does not remove six layers of skin." —Ron Taritas

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    21. A pair of anti-nausea bands that may help soothe churning stomachs from cars, cruises, and amusement park rides without copious amounts of Dramamine.

    For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

    Promising review: "I have used and worn out my first pair of Sea-Band wristbands. I carry them in my purse and slip them on any time I need to sit in the back seat, or in mountainous territory. I would advise putting them on about half an hour before getting in the car, and massaging the button about once an hour, for ultimate effectiveness. I have had to ride in the front seat ever since I was 6 years old because of motion sickness. I am now 74 and this is the first remedy that works short of taking a pill, which makes me groggy and feeling doped up." —J. Williams

    Get a pair from Amazon for $8.59.

    22. A seven-day pill organizer with a.m. and p.m. compartments to help you feel your best by staying on track with all your daily medications and supplements.

    Promising review: "At 66-years-old, I have found that this handy medication case has made my daily routine of taking 11 different pills so much easier. It divides each day into two — a.m. and p.m. It is sturdy and when opened allows you to access only one day's meds at a time. Love it." —Stichez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors).

    23. Some citrusy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets loaded with 3x the electrolytes of a regular sports drink because sometimes you drop the ball on that whole drinking water thing. This helps you maximize the power of every glass for aiding a speedy recovery from a hard workout or killer hangover. 

    Psst — it's also gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free! 

    Promising review: "I’ve tried many different sports drinks this one actually works. The first time I used it, I was amazed at my recoup time after my bike ride to work. I give it two thumbs up. I suggest you get it and try it yourself — everybody’s different. All I know is it works great for me, it might work great for you. I’m 61-years-old and I ride my bike as a daily commuter. I also ride my bike to keep up with my daughter as she’s practicing for cross country and I run our dogs with the bike." —Eric

    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

    25. An easy to apply fungal nail renewal formula if you've got a toenail (or two, or three) that's thick, discolored, or brittle. Apply this fast-acting formula and you could start seeing visual improvements in as little as two days, so start picking out a new pair of sandals — stat! 

    Promising review: “I'm 70 and have had creepy toenails for over 50 years. Doctors have given me anti-fungal meds so strong that I had to have my liver checked. No help. This topical cleared 90% in a couple months and I'm planning to keep using it and to wear toeless sandals to my funeral!" —No Nickname

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99

    Promising review: "I am a redhead with very sensitive skin. These work perfectly for me. I love not wearing a bra. I am 68-years-old and wish that I had had these since my teens. I sometimes forget that I have them on they are so comfortable. My first set, which I bought a year ago, are still just as good as when I bought them. I highly recommend them. I just bought a set for my teenage granddaughter." —Happy

    Promising review: "I am so happy with this shaver! I'm 62 and I have fibromyalgia. Most days it's to hard to shave in the shower. My husband bought me this. No it doesn't shave quite as close as a razor but probably would come close if used every day. I have and love several of the Finishing Touch Flawless products." —Smurray

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99

    28. A supportive U-shaped full-body pillow with a cooling cover that reviewers, both pregnant and not, swear by for getting a good night's sleep, thanks to its head-to-toe coziness and unmatched support.

    Promising review: "I've suffered the severe sweaty hands all my life. Since the first grade, I've learnt to carry a stack of handkerchiefs to combat my hand wetness. I've tried any products available on the market, including the prescription, but there was no success until now...I'm 67-years-old now. This Carpe product is life-saving. The only product so far that gives me the relief. I don't write the review often. This is the second time in my life I've written a review. I wish more doctors knew about this product in order to advise their patients to try." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I am 67-years-old and have very dry skin. I always had trouble exfoliating my skin to my satisfaction. The very first time I used it I was disgusted at how much dead skin I was able to remove! My skin felt so soft afterwards! I use the mitt once a week and have less dead skin to remove. I absolutely love this mitt! Wish I had known about it sooner!" —Sweetwriter

While jury is still out on its effectiveness with respect to my scapula problem, I was very pleased to learn that this self massager's other exercises proved to be downright miraculous with relief of tightness and pain in my lower back and stiff neck. Includes booklet with exercises for neck, shoulder, back, arm, torso, leg and hip. Comes in two pieces that can disassemble for travel.
