    Your Body Has All Sorts Of Random Needs And These 31 Things Are Here To Help

    With reviewer testimony, because thinning hair and weak nails aren't just a "you" problem.

    Please note that these aren't medical recommendations. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any kind of treatment.


    1. 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). 

    2. 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: "Like others, I have had morning headaches after even just one glass of wine. I saw this on Amazon, and all of the reviews were favorable and had lots of detail on how well this product worked. I decided to give it a try, and YES! It does work!!! I personally do not detect a change in the taste profile of the wine, and neither could my sister who also tried it one evening. I use three drops for both red and white. For the price, I would say give it a try because I am so happy that I can now enjoy a glass or two and not worry about the onslaught of an allergic reaction!" —Vellichor

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    3. 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 $8.50+ (available in five sizes). 

    4. A pair of anti-nausea bands that'll help soothe churning stomachs from cars, cruises, amusement parks, and even pregnancy without copious amounts of Dramamine.

    Promising review: "I get motion sickness at a drop of a hat. When I decided to go on a second cruise, I bought these thinking they wouldn't do anything and that I would return them once I got home. I was pleasantly surprised and found that these helped me tremendously. I wore them all the time over the course of my five-day cruise and was never sick during my vacation. I was stunned. My first cruise I got so seasick the first day and ended up in a foggy haze the rest of the trip since I took so much Dramamine. Great little product and I can't believe how well they worked. I bought a second pair for the car, so if I ever feel sick, I can just put these on. I would highly recommend, even for the skeptical." —KristinaK

    Get a pair from Amazon for $8.54.

    5. 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 five to 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

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    6. A stick of nongreasy Gold Bond anti-friction stick for preventing sweat-induced thigh chafing and all the painful irritation that comes with it.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I just used it for five days in 90-degree-plus weather at Bonnaroo music festival in the middle of Tennessee on a farm in June with 100,000 people walking several miles, dancing, and sweating every day. I am happy to report that this product is a lifesaver. My thighs didn't chafe once, and I have big ones! I had to reapply once during the day. I strongly recommend buying this if you have large thighs and need relief from chafing. I couldn't wear dresses or skirts in the heat if I was walking anywhere, and now I live in them because of this stuff! Buy it! It works!" —Carwizzle

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

    7. A rechargeable heated eye massager if you need an extra tool in your toolkit to help combat headaches, eye strain, puffy under-eyes, and insomnia. This portable design boasts five massage modes, a 15-minute timer, and built-in Bluetooth speakers so you can really tune out the world and enjoy some R&R. 

    Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (also available in pink). 

    8. 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

    Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $6.96.

    9. 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 $19.99.

    10. A pair of compression gloves that help relieve the muscle and joint pain caused by arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and similar conditions, so you can type that novel or crochet that scarf without all the ouchies.

    Promising review: "As a professional tennis racquet stringer, I often work for 8 to 10 hours straight at the stringing machine. At 58 years old, and having done this work for many years, I have developed arthritis in my hands. I’ve worn out many pairs of gloves similar to these. Most are cheaply made and tear apart at the seams in days. ComfyBrace gloves are the best quality I have found. They provide the relief I need, they’re comfortable, and they last longer than the other brands I’ve tried. With these gloves, I’m able to continue working a trade that I love. Thank you, ComfyBrace! Try these, you will not regret it!" —M. McDonald

    Get them from Amazon for $19.97 (available in three sizes). 

    11. A volcanic stone face roller so you can soak up excess face oil, even if you have makeup on! Unlike blotting papers, this roller is able to be washed and reused, reducing waste and saving you $$$.

    Promising review: "Amazing! I have very oily skin and I’m always shiny. I hate those blotting papers; this is so much better! I roll it all over my face several times a day and in seconds my skin is matte again. Also, it’s like a nice little face massage when I do it. It is super easy to take apart to clean, and after using hot water and my facial cleanser it is dry pretty quick, though I usually just let it sit out overnight. Highly recommend!! I’m going to buy more so I can leave them all over — purse, diaper bag, bathroom, car!" —Brooke Burns

    Get it from Amazon for $17.38.

    12. A tonsil stone remover for finally treating the root cause of chronic bad breath. The tool has a built-in LED light for easily finding and extracting the stone, while the included syringe makes cleaning out the pocket left behind quick and easy.

    Promising review: "I'm in my early 30s and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! Anyways, I've been struggling with cotton buds to fully remove the stones, but couldn't get rid of them and they would just come back within the week. I received this and OMFG...best investment ever. No struggle holding my phone as a flashlight while awkwardly poking myself in front of my badly lit bathroom mirror. I sat comfortably at my vanity, used one hand, and removed the whole stone in less than a minute. Why did I not know this was a thing? Why have I been struggling? Get it! Stop struggling, suffering, and awkwardly dealing with this ridiculous condition...trust me." —Wren

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two colors and in a multipack).

    13. 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 Gill

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    14. A pack of moisture-proof travel pill organizers to make it easier to manage the ever-growing collection of prescriptions and vitamins now required to maintain your body.

    a reviewer photo of the pill case open with multiple compartments filled with pills

    Promising review: "This was a great pill box for our trip. Takes up a lot less space than a normal pill organizer. I loved it so much that I use one everyday and leave an extra in my backpack for days when I’m out. If you are looking for something that is for a few pills, this is wonderful. I would not use this for my older parents as the compartments would be difficult for them to open and might be a bit confusing. Great for both my husband and myself!" —Deana

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.97

    15. A pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors because that middle school eyebrow mishap has made face shaving and brow shaping feel like a daunting task. These teeny-tiny blades safely remove peach fuzz, exfoliate skin, and include a precision cover for worry-free eyebrow maintenance.

    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.

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.24.

    16. A set of pant waist extenders that'll reunite you and your favorite pair of too-snug pants. With these, your jeans and trousers can gain up to 2 inches of waist space so weight gain, a medical procedure, or early pregnancy doesn't mean saying goodbye to your go-to styles.

    Comfy Clothiers is a a small business that launched in 2015 with the mission to help people dress their best while staying as comfortable as possible in the process. 

    The set includes five fabric pants button extenders, five fabric hook-and-eye extenders, and three denim jeans waist extenders in a variety of colors.

    Promising review: "Why didn't I get these sooner? These work perfectly! These extenders look simple enough but you think that they won't work or will show. The good news is, they never show once you put your belt on and, in my case, I've now got five pairs of chinos, three pairs of dress wool pants, and three pairs of jeans back into my rotation! Buy these!" —JCI

    Get a 13-pack from Amazon for $15.95.

    17. A roll-on migraine stick packed with cooling essential oils so you always have access to painful headache and migraine relief that's compact enough to put in a purse or pocket!

    Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life, and sometimes they hit at the worst moments when I have to miss an important family event. Now I swipe the migraine stick across my forehead and temples, sometimes dabbing a little on my neck and even a little dab below each nostril when sinuses are bad. I lie down in the dark and relax until Imitrex kicks in. At first the scent seemed too strong, but after only two days I loved it! My migraines clear up much faster and I can go on with my day! For milder migraines, especially at night, I use only the stick, which helps me relax and the pain go away. I’ve never used anything like this in my 65 years of suffering and am so thankful I did. Now I’d never be without it! Price is good, too — I’m on a limited budget and one stick lasts a few months." —DebSmith

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

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

    Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad, I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

    Get it from Amazon for $15.47.

    19. The ever-reliable O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream if your dry, cracked hands need something a little stronger than the average moisturizer. This famous formula locks in moisture, while creating a protective barrier to prevent future moisture loss.

    For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime.

    Promising review: "Every winter, my fingers and knuckles crack and bleed. I've tried everything on the market to heal my hands. I received this hand cream yesterday, and when I put it on, I could tell right away that this was better than anything I'd tried. This stuff started working immediately. I filled all the cuts and cracks on my hands with this cream, and today they are almost healed. I believe that this is the best hand cream ever made on earth." —Steve

    Get it from Amazon for $8.87.

    20. A pick-and-peel stone kit to help divert your nervous energy with a soothing fidget toy that reviewers swear by to help prevent compulsory skin picking and nail biting.

    Pick 'N Peel Stones is a Pittsburgh-based Etsy shop and inventor of the pick-and-peel stones — a lava rock covered in nooks and crannies that are filled with latex glue. Renee Benn started the company as a channel for their anxiety after they lost their job.

    The full kit includes one porous stone, a dual-sided picking hook, and a 2.5-oz bottle of stone filler, which is able to fill one side of the stone roughly six to seven times.

    Promising review: "This was everything I wanted and more! The glue material is perfect and does not peel off easily, so I have to spend my time with it. Super satisfying and helps with the urge to pick. Would absolutely recommend!" —Kim Bandy

    Get it from Pick 'N Peel Stones on Etsy for $29.99.

    21. 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 scars and stretch marks you thought were going to stick around forever. 

    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 $8.92+ (available in two sizes).

    22. This sulfate-free biotin shampoo with over 22,000 5-star ratings that can help hair look thicker and stimulate regrowth 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 crazy about the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." —Diane J. Huff

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

    23. An ergonomic chiropractic pillow so you can reduce neck and shoulder pain by doing next to nothing. Just spend 10 minutes a day with this pillow to reap the potential spine-aligning benefits.

    a reviewer laying on the floor with the neck and shoulder relaxer supporting their neck
    a reviewer photo of the gray pillow

    Do NOT use this like a regular pillow. It's designed to be used in 10-minute intervals and the seller recommends a one- to three-day adjustment period starting with five minutes at a time. Be sure to consult your doctor before trying any new back/neck treatments just to make sure it's safe for you! 

    The pillow is already sweat-resistant but — bonus — the outer case is removable of easy washing.

    Promising review: "The comfort and stretch that this product provides is exactly what I’ve been needing! If you’re someone who suffers from 'tech neck' or sits at a computer or desk all day for a living, spending 15 or 20 minutes on this neck relaxer at night or after work will undo so much of the tension that builds up and is held in the neck shoulders from work. I’ve personally bought a few of these and given them out to my friends as gifts because they’re so helpful!" —Trafou

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six colors).

    24. An easy-to-use denture cleaner tablet you simply plop in warm water with your dentures, mouth guard, retainer, or aligners for a stain-fighting, odor-busting clean that's worth smiling about.

    Promising review: "I have a TMJ mouth guard that is about 12 years old, and nothing else I've tried had managed to clean it like this stuff. It didn't take everything off the first time, but it makes a HUGE difference. Very satisfied." —Sara Elizabeth Eaton

    Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $13.58.

    25. These hat and helmet sweat liners if you're tired of washing sweat stains out of your go-to cap every time it's over 75 degrees outside.

    Promising review: "I am honestly thrilled that this product works! I live in Arizona and golf often so am constantly washing the sweat lines from my hats. These liners arrived yesterday, I just spent an hour and a half at the range (hot Arizona day), plenty of sweat, and not a single mark on my hat!! Every time I had worn this hat prior to the liner it wound up with sizable sweat marks. I saw other reviewers who show their sweaty hats with these liners and my only guess is that it wasn’t applied correctly/low enough on the hat. Obviously, if any part of your forehead can still make contact with the hat, and not only the liner, sweat will soak into it. Best of luck!" —McCaff

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $32.99 (available in larger multipacks). 

    26. Plus, a super-comfy moisture-wicking bra with adjustable straps and no painful underwire to keep you supported, dry, and stain-free even when temperatures creep toward triple digits.

    Proof

    Proof is a small biz founded by three sisters with a line of leakproof underwear and bras designed to help people live without fear of boob sweat stains, period and postpartum leaking, and incontinence.

    This has become my go-to bra this summer. COVID made me INCREDIBLY intolerant of underwires, so I'm basically cutting them out of my life where possible. This bra still feels really supportive, with the added benefit of managing inevitable heatwave boob sweat when necessary. It was a real trooper during a hot weekend walking around Washington, DC. Even though every inch of me was sweating, there was no lingering wetness and my boobs were left feeling dry and comfortable all day, even when my sunburnt shoulders couldn't say the same.

    Get it from Proof for $55 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in three colors).

    27. A pair of copper-infused compression sleeves because whether you've got bunions or plantar fasciitis, these flexible bands provide comfortable support that can be worn under your socks and shoes to help relieve heel and arch pain. 

    And (like socks) you can toss them in the wash when they start to smell a little funky.

    Promising review: "These have been great at relieving the pain of my plantar fasciitis almost immediately and completely. I was afraid that nothing would help, having read on the internet so many stories of people living with the pain, but I decided to give these a try based on good reviews and the low cost. Needless to say, it was a good decision. The copper compression bands are easy to put on and should fit almost any foot size, being stretchy. I have been using mine for about a month with no discernible breakdown in the elastic. I do wear them all day under my socks and take them off to air out at night. This works for me, and I haven't had any foot pain in the night as I was having before using the compression bands." —Mark Mumma

    Get a pair from Amazon for $19.95.

    28. And a pair of compression socks that help boost circulation to accelerate recovery. These are a great option for anyone whose feet, ankles, or legs tend to swell up on long flights. Plus, they double as a lightweight thermal layer (planes be cold).

    Promising review: "Bought for my long flights. I have larger calves and they fit great. When putting on, be careful — it will bunch up and pinch the back of your knee if you pull too much up. Did this once and learned to pull the sock up evenly. NEVER had a problem again. It was my first time wearing compression socks. They are great for traveling on long flights and when doing lots of walking. I love them would purchase again." —NOVI

    Get it from Amazon for $18.11+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 13 styles).

    29. A concentrated allergen spray so you can spray away those sneezes and quickly reduce the presence of airborne and surface allergens from pets, mites, and more. 

    Allergy Asthma Cleaning Store is a family-owned business making safe cleaning goods for the whole family. If you suffer from pet allergies, it's recommended you spray this daily. For dust mite allergies, try three times a week.

    Promising review: "I have horrible allergies. Dust, certain dogs, all cats, pollen, etc. We have a vacation house that is used by many family members and their pets. Nothing has worked. I tried this and it’s amazing. No smell, no residue. I spray it on everything when I arrive and I’m not bothered by any dander at all. No more scratching my eyeballs raw or itchy throats. Just buy it already. Worth it!" —scoop

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99

    30. An easy-to-use nasal spray for quick relief from seasonal allergies. This saline rinse washes away irritants and helps to reduce tissue swelling so you can stop mouth breathing and rubbing your nose raw with tissues.

    Promising review: "I cannot live without this spray! I have had bad sinuses since I was a kid. My boss recommended Xlear to me, and I have been a believer ever since. It actually burns sometimes when you spray it in your nostrils, but that is due to the Xylitol. After a few minutes, your nose starts to run and then the nasal passages are clear. Don't just try it once and say it doesn't work...use it as directed...it DOES work. At 53-years-old with sinus challenges all my life, I am living proof! I use it all through allergy season...safe, effective, and NATURAL!!!" —KayKay67

    Promising review: "This product actually works. The oil absorbs quickly (especially if you do it right out the shower), smells amazing (I’ve used both the sweet escape and the pumpkin spice) and most importantly I have no ingrown hairs or razor bumps! I had to be patient and consistent when I first started but I now I can’t praise this product enough, I tell everyone I know!" —Jenny W.
