    31 Products To Solve Those Little Problems You Assumed Were Just A Part Of Life

    I don't know who needs to hear this, but there is a world where your fitted sheet stays on your mattress.

    1. A pack of Sticky Stakes that'll FINALLY trap the flies and gnats that have been living rent-free in your home ever since you bought your first houseplant.

    2. A pack of microwavable bowl huggers so you can safely pull piping hot bowls out of the microwave without burning your hands. They'll also absorb minor spillage from too-full bowls as you make the treacherous journey from kitchen to couch.

    3. A gluten- and cruelty-free lengthening mascara if you're tired of getting excited about mascaras that never live up to their promises. This one is different — or at least according to the 13,600+ 5-star reviews.

    4. A jewelry cleaning pen to return cloudy gems to their former, out-of-the-box glory without shelling out the big bucks for a professional cleaning.

    5. An earwax removal kit because cotton swabs really don't cut it (and can sometimes make things worse) when it comes to major wax buildup. With just a couple of drops, you'll be able to see and feel the wax flush from your ear and, with it, the sound-muffled world you'd been residing in.

    6. A hecka durable duck chew toy for eliminating the constant need to clean up stuffed animal guts whenever your adorable-but-destructive good doggo destroys yet another chew toy approximately five minutes after receiving it.

    7. A canvas cup holder that'll cradle your boba or third cup of iced coffee in cuteness, keep your hands from getting cold, and make precarious walks when you have too much stuff to carry a lot easier.

    8. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets so your metal tumblers and impossible-to-clean water bottles can look clean for the first time in forever with NO scrubbing required.

    9. A double-sided hairbrush cleaning brush if you're lowkey disgusted by hair the minute it's no longer on your head. This handy tool will do a better cleaning job than your fingers ever could, with a pointed end for picking out tangles and stiff bristles to remove all that built-up hair, dust, and fluff.

    10. A silicone TubShroom to catch all that slimy wet hair before it sinks to drain depths unknown, meaning you can just skip the lose-lose decision between calling your plumber to clear your drain or doing it yourself (gagging all the while).

    11. An affordable teeth whitening pen because spending tons of money on whitening products that leave you with teeth sensitivity is, in my professional opinion, no fun. For under $20 you can whiten your teeth anytime, anyplace, in just five minutes, and without any lingering pain.

    12. A battery-operated fabric shaver for rescuing well-loved knits from the horrors of aging — lint, matted fibers, and pilling, oh my! It's like a tiny vacuum; just empty the detachable lint catcher when you're done, and enjoy your revitalized sweater.

    13. A reusable pumice stone that'll make quick, clean work of the stubborn stains and brown rings plaguing your toilets, sinks, and tubs for who knows how long.

    14. A sleek wooden charging block so you can skip the sleepy-time hunt for your charging cable that inevitably falls behind your bedside table EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.

    15. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner if you're tired of your appliances not living out the "stainless" in stainless steel. This cleaner will banish stubborn streaks, smudges, and grubby fingerprints with a streak-free formula that simultaneously polishes and protects surfaces from future stains.

    16. A terra-cotta sugar-saver to turn your hard-as-rock clump of brown sugar into a soft pile of ready-to-use sweetness (and keep it that way).

    17. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution because you thought ingrown hairs and razor bumps were just another part of life. This little blue bottle is here to show that you thought wrong.

    18. A length-adjustable pet hair broom with rubber bristles for wrangling the fur trapped in your carpet and a rubber head that works like a magnet on wood and linoleum to attract stray hair. If that wasn't enough, there's also a built-in squeegee for corralling spilled liquids and cleaning glass.

    19. A set of bed sheet fasteners that works like suspenders to keep your fitted sheet in place no matter how much tossing and turning you get up to during the night.

    20. A scratch-free scraper tool so you can stop fruitlessly scrubbing away with any old rag and finally clean out all those grime-caked cracks and crevices once and for all!

    21. A reusable no-fog face mask if you're tired of foggy eyeglasses making simple tasks like going to the grocery store or grabbing the mail a full-on, vision-impairing ordeal.

    22. A powerful mold and mildew stain cleaner to lift the most daunting grout and caulking stains without the back-breaking scrubbing. Just apply the concentrated gel formula, wait six to eight hours, and watch your stains (and your worries) wash down the drain.

    23. A hair finishing stick for making your messy bun look a little less messy by smoothing flyaway hairs up and away in seconds.

    24. Or an edge control gel that'll help smooth edges and baby hairs without any greasiness or flaky residue. Just sleek styles for days.

    25. A pack of DressWeights because your outfit keeps losing its battle with the wind, resulting in one too many accidental flashings. Adhere these heroic little weights to the inner hem of a dress or skirt and walk through the windiest of days with confidence!

    26. A car gap filler fans of Shark Tank might recognize as the simple yet genius invention that prevents loose change, french fries, and earrings from falling into the black hole that is the space between the car seat and the middle console.

    27. A genius waterfall soap dish for saving your bars (and your hands) from a wet and slimy fate, and keeping your soap lasting a lot longer.

    28. A stainless-steel foot file so you can scrape off years' worth of dried, cracked skin and feel like the foot model you were always born to be. Now, go forth and rock your strappiest sandal!

    29. A pair of luxury boxer briefs if you're positively DONE with run-of-the-mill undies that bunch up and stretch out. Specially knitted from lightweight Micro Modal, this pair is naturally more durable, breathable, and comfortable than regular cotton briefs.

    30. A flexible dish squeegee to wipe away greasy, stuck-on messes like ~magic~ and just generally reduce the amount of wet food you have to touch on a regular basis.

    31. A champagne stopper because sometimes (aka all the time) you want to have a glass of champagne or a mimosa at brunch without committing to the whole bottle. This handy gadget reseals your bubbly and keeps it, well, bubbly!

    And just like that, life is a little bit better:
