Promising review: "Love this glove. I have a bob that I like to wear with beach waves and learned from my stylist how to achieve...but it takes a curling iron. Clumsy with it to say the least and fingers suffered. NO more, the glove moves from hand to hand and is thin enough to not challenge finger movement. Best part...it protects my fingers perfectly!" —MRW

Promising review: "Not only is it glass, so it's BPA- and chemical-free, but it's also ridiculously genius to have the cover on it for people like me who are stupid clumsy. Cuz, ya' know, glass breaks. 😂 And above all that — it's adorable!" —Jessie Ann

Promising review: "Usually when I fry fish I get splattered with hot oil and a very big mess to clean. But when I used the Frywall the fish cooked but there was no splatter on me or the stove! This genius kitchen tool really works well. I now keep it in my go-to cabinet near my stove so it’s near when I need it next. I’m looking forward to trying it when I sauté my big bunch of greens. I like that it expands the sides of my pan, it's easy to use and clean, and rolls up for easy storage. Simple, useful design." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are great. I bought them for my biracial children. I decided on the multi-pack so we could see what color was the best match. They were so delighted with them, and loved that there were so many shades. I gave some to friends and they were so excited that these exist! Will definitely buy again. Oh and they are also decent quality as well! They stick very well (not as good for feet, I usually buy 'tough strips' for that) but good for all other general bandage use." —Lori Anderson

Promising review: "I was in a terrible car accident in April 2019. I was beat up by air bags which left deep extremely painful bruises. The one on my left leg gave me the most issues! The ones on my arms are gone. But my leg still has a bruise because it may be a vein issue going on. I was told by a doctor to buy Arnica so help with discoloration of my leg and the hardness. Arnica has help improve the color and some swelling. As far as pain relief, my bruises were extremely painful so it didn’t help with me in that aspect because mine were very large and deep. Two photos are of my leg when the accident happened and now. My doctor says this bruise on my leg will take months to go away but arnica helps though this process. My arm shows just the before picture my arm looks mostly normal now." —Chanel

Promising review: "Easy to use and holds all different size bottles. Stops me from trying to balance or tip nail polish when doing my own manicures. No worry about spilling.

Leak- and spill-proof. Drinks stay hot up to 7 hours and cold up to 18 hours with vacuum insulation.
Promising review: "By far my favorite water bottles. I take them out on whale watch boats, where the auto-seal can save the day. No sloshing in rough seas and they close up tight if I stumble or drop them (yes, I'm that clumsy). No sloshing or spills means no ruined camera equipment! I use one around my computer for the same reason — no ruined equipment if I tip it over (again, clumsy).
For running around town, they do a great job of keeping my water ice cold all day. I'm not really a fan of hot drinks, so I can't comment on their heat retention.
I've had some dents and scratches from dropping them, but that doesn't seem to affect performance." —Sheri Cohen

Promising review: "The majority of my kitchen and laundry room is marble tile and not too safe for normal socks. You are slipping and sliding all over the place. Being a diabetic, my feet are ice cold and very uncomfortable when walking around bare footed. These socks are really very cozy and with the non-slip dots on the underside, very safe on the slipperiest floor. I take these socks with me when visiting and don them as soon as the socks and shoes come off. As for my husband, he also finds them comfortable." —Deedee

Promising review: "I bought these after seeing them on TV. They are so much better than a paper towel and easier to clean up than pulling out the piece of glass from the microwave. The added bonus of their versatility makes me want to give them as stocking stuffers." —Slameador

Made of waterproof canvas fabric with a soft, shock-proof lining.
Promising review: "The inside is soft and plush. Although I haven't dropped my laptop with the case yet, it really seems it would absorb the impact well. The outside is a rugged feeling fabric that reminds me of backpack material. Even so, it feels nice in the hand, and provides decent grip. It seems to repel liquids surprisingly well. What prompted me to log in and write this review was an accident a few moments ago when I spilled coffee on it. Most of the coffee wicked off right away, the rest came off with a napkin; no trace, doesn't even feel wet." —Tony

Promising review: "I'm a really clumsy person so my clothes frequently get things spilled on them. Enter Scotchgard! This stuff stinks bad when you first spray it, but it does a good job protecting my clothes. Most of my clothes are cotton or cotton/poly. I have not noticed any change in color at any point in using this product. This is most effective in protecting my clothes from oil/grease stains. I cannot or have not noticed any perceptible change in the feel or breath-ability of my clothes. For me, the protection lasts about six months." —GM

Promising review: "Life proof is the best phone case, it is pricy but well worth the investment. I know this is an otter box company and these are the most durable case that isn't bulky & best part is its waterproof sand proof and fire proof. I purchased one for my iPhone 6 before I got the 7 & I took it it to Hawaii & was able to film underwater. I will keep purchasing these for all my phones in the future." —Hart

Promising review: "I am really impressed with this product. I have tried other methods of managing my cables and there were always two issues. One was keeping the cables securely in whatever device I was using. The second problem was that the device wasn't heavy enough and kept moving around the table, desk, etc. This product solves both those concerns. It is heavy enough to stay in place, but I can move it around easily if I need to. Also the cables stay in place securely in the slots, but it is easy to switch them if I need to or pull them to get more length. This product is well worth the money in terms of ease of use, quality and convenience." —Kasia

Promising review: "I’ve been tripping over so many wires in my home office I really needed to control the problem. This works! such an easy to use simple thing that made my office organized.

Promising review: "I just used these gloves with a SHARP mandolin to make razor-thin shallots for a made-from-scratch green bean casserole for the holidays. I'm SO happy I bought these because they WORK exceptionally well! I set my mandolin to the thinnest setting and used these gloves to get the finest thinly cut shallots. Love, love, love this product." —Anne
