Promising review: "I've struggled with the #2 for the last couple years. I've gone from Defecating Toxic Avenger to 'Dear GOD! I feel like I'm passing the Twin King Guardian Statues'. It's been a sphincter nightmare. No matter what I tried: prunes, more water, high fiber, Taco Bell, even White Castle — nothing was working. Usually, in a three-week interval, I'd get very sick and spend three to four hours going to the bathroom nine or ten times. After my sphincter would be tender and I'm damn near positive if this had gone on, it would be the end of me. Then I saw this. Decided to go ahead and plunk down the $25. By day two of using it I started to feel better and my cramps were gone. I swear to god, when I go on my next road trip, I'm taking the damn thing with me, and IDGAF if my friends laugh at me. This damn thing may have saved my health and possibly my life." —DJ_Malsidious

Promising review: "I love these!!! I have suffered from vertigo for the last five years and it is stirred up when I am exposed to loud sounds, but I don't let that stop me from doing what I love. When we decided to attend a three-day electronic music festival last year, I knew I was going to need earplugs. However those foam plugs you see everywhere, block out all sound and make you feel like you are in a tunnel, which would be terrible when you paid a lot of money to hear music. I purchased these and could not have been happier. They block out the sound at really high decibels, but still allow sound to go through. I could still hear the music and did not set my vertigo spinning. I would recommend these to anyone. I also wear them at frequent sporting events, which are also loud." —Julie B.

Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use, but once I got my hands out it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere 2–4 times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create. Also, we ordered a beard oil recently and reached out to customer support about the different scents they offer, they were super helpful! Overall it has been an awesome experience and they’ve truly made me feel like a King!" —Timur

FYI, it's self-sealing and non-plastic. It's also free of BPA, PVC, and latex.
Promising review: "I've tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones just get gross over time. The vinyl ones are hard to clean and aren't usually dishwasher-safe. There are other silicone ones that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose. This one is the most simple and easy to use. No separate pieces to lose. Can withstand any temperature/microwave/dishwasher/whatever. And if they get gunky they are very easy to clean and I trust that they aren't hiding gross crumbs in any of the crevices. My only complaint is the cost — they are the most expensive and I wish they offered a bulk discount. If they were cheaper I would use them for EVERYTHING (open cheese in cheese drawer, all snacks on the go, etc)." —Megan A.

Promising review: "We saw this on Shark Tank, and thought we'd give it a shot. The Chapstick-sized tube is perfect for travel. Walking on a beach with sunglasses on, sweat makes them slide down. Just a couple of dabs of this Nerdwax keeps them in place. It also worked well keeping glasses up during snow blowing in a recent blizzard. So while I'd rather use it walking on a beach, it did the job when I was shoveling snow as well. Is it costly? Yes. But does it work? Yes!" —Ernest DeFelice
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
Promising review: "Okay, so I am a sucker for innovations that I see on Shark Tank so bought this without giving it much thought. When it arrived I thought I had probably made a mistake, but turns out I use them all the time. I keep one in the microwave, which makes clean-up easier but also allows me to use it as a potholder. I keep the other in a drawer and use it as a trivet to protect my counters and table. Stores easily, has lots of uses, cleans in a flash. Pretty cool." —Kathy, Avid Reader

Promising review: "The face wash I use isn't the most economical, but nothing else works better for my skin. I got this to help get the remaining lotion out of the bottles that I was too cheap to throw out (I was running out of space in my shower...). This really gets it all out! Also used it with my other toiletries in my shower, and now I have so much room for activities! Read the dimension before you purchase; I thought I was getting these sleek spatulas, but you could hurt someone with the Spatty Daddy if you tried (not saying you should do that). Regardless of size, these work great!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "We’ve been using these for more than a year, and we like them a lot! Last time I bought soap nuts, I ordered a different brand, because they were cheaper, and I figured they must all be the same thing. Not! There were no whole nuts, just small pieces, and they smelled nasty! Anyway, we finished those off, and we are now back to Eco Nuts; I find it easy to slip the nuts in the cloth bag, and they have a faint, sweet pleasant smell. They last a long time. The smaller boxes lasted us about six months each time. It is a space saver, and not messy. Before we started getting these, I had a jumbo bottle of ecologically safe laundry detergent, and it leaked all over the top of my fridge! (Yuck!) I think using these saves us money, and they are biodegradable!" —Bookfresser

Promising review: "This detangled my hair in seconds. I have very tangled hair but this only takes about 2–3 strokes and that side/knot is out!!! You finish your hair in minutes. Very extremely knotty hair will take about 7–15 minutes, but if you have only a knot and other little knots, it only takes about 2–5 minutes!" —❤️ Naomi ❤️
Get it from Amazon for $11.70 (available for fine, normal, or thick hair).
Promising review: "Comfortable neck pillow. Great for air travel, the hoodie is very easy to adjust over your face, it helps me block out the unwanted light and overall sights on the plane! I also use when riding as a passenger in a car to get in a quick nap. The memory foam is quite comfortable." —TK

Promising review: "I'm a teacher, and every time I leave home it looks like I've packed for a vacation. This bag is bigger than it looks, which enables me to steal more things from home for my classroom. The extendable handle and rolling wheels mean that I can save my back and shoulder from the weight of at least two bags, plus I have a free hand in which to carry my Harry Potter mug of chai. There's also a handy little pocket on front for my classroom door key and dollar bills for the vending machine." —A. Shah
Get it from Amazon for $34.09+ (available in several colors and patterns).
BTW, it's BPA-free, FDA-compliant, heat-resistant up to 450°F, and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "I was frying chicken with lard (yes, I use lard! My chicken is NOT health food.) and I put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape, it's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall

Promising review: "What a perfect gadget for getting your phone clean. After touching who knows what while commuting to work, and it being that time of year everyone around you gets sick, this comes in handy. After the first use it looked great, and then I wiped it down with the sponge that came with it. I feel so much better about using my phone now." —Crystal Gardner
Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in several colors).
Promising review: "This stuff is awesome!!! We used only one pack for our campfire and it kept burning for a long while — well after the logs caught. There was no oily, smelly chemicals or toxic smoke like some fire starters that are paraffin based. This burned clean so we had a nice relaxing fire to enjoy — no poking or prodding necessary to get the fire going." —Mooselady

Promising review: "Very practical ring. I can wear this ring without it getting in the way or even really noticing it. I wear it in the shower, doing dishes, whatever. I got the white one and so far (approx. 1 month use) no discoloration, which I was worried about. I have an allergy to metal so this was a very good non-traditional solution for my wedding ring. (I still have my nice diamond ring to wear out when I dress up). I am usually a 4 3/4 or 5 ring size; I bought a size 4 and it did stretch slightly as other reviewers mentioned so now it fits like a glove. I was worried that it would feel too tight at first and it would freak me out if I couldn't get it off or it would cut off circulation. None of this happened. It was totally comfortable from day one. Very happy! Definitely recommend!" —WWoman6814

Promising review: "I didn't know these even existed until seeing them on an episode of Shark Tank. I gave them a try and wow! No more sweat spots. I have hyperhidrosis and sweat a lot, mostly in my armpits and hands. I would always sweat through my shirts, even with wearing an undershirt. With this shirt, I have yet to see any sweat spots. It fits well as an undershirt." —RoBroKnos

Promising review: "I can't tell you how many reading glasses I've killed in the past few years, largely from jettisoning them from my breast pocket or hooking them awkwardly in my shirt collar. These clips are amazing. They're discreet enough that I don't look like a goon wearing one on my shirt all day, and when I hang my glasses from them I can tie my shoes without spilling them lens-first on the ground. What else can a fellow ask for?" —Phil Selman

Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this." —Tessa Forbes

Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I can't wait to tell people what I use on my hair. I hate going to salons. I think I'm one of the few people that has never left a salon feeling like I look better than before I arrived. It doesn't matter how much I've spent on the visit either. This product has been a lifesaver. I just look up YouTube videos and follow the instructions. I just have myself a layered A-line bob, and it's one of the best cuts I've ever had. It seems like this product would be too good to be true, but if you're patient, it's super easy to use." —Michelle H

Promising review: "This is awesome, perfect, functional. If you have more than one child, be prepared to buy one for each kid (duh, right) as I experienced our two kids fighting in the tub for the shark scrub brush. Oops. Immediately ordering another one, ASAP...DOH!" —urojet12

Promising review: "I don't understand how this mat works, but it's amazing. You set it down on the table and it sticks to it so tightly that even an adult can't move it! But when you peel back a corner, it comes right up and it's like it was never there. We take this with us when we eat at restaurants, because my son will just throw around a plate or tray and make a huge mess. This placemat has made eating out a much more pleasant experience. I picked this particular placemat because it was so highly reviewed on parenting sites. I haven't tried the other brands that are a little less expensive, but I strongly believe that this mat was worth every penny that I paid!" —R & K

Promising review: "After getting my first Turbie Twist over a decade ago, I am never going back to the large towel method or any other brand of hair towel - I even bring them on vacation with me! I just wish I could have picked the colors, because I ended up with bright pink and purple." —Elizabeth

Promising review: "I was looking for a safe natural product that didn't have any ingredients requiring a hazardous waste disposal label. A lot of so-called 'natural' cleaners have ingredients that need an EPA use-and-disposal label. This doesn't.
It is strong enough to really go through grease and grime like a clear organic tornado. I haven't found anything that can't be cleaned with it yet. Plus it's odor free. I feel comfortable spraying it in places where pets, children or myself in bare feet might absorb it by stepping in the residue. It's hard to get excited over cleaning spray but this deserves a level of excitement in my home." —Mark O.

Promising review: "I've had my Bambooee rolls for five months now. I love using it to clean most of the surfaces at home such as kitchen countertops, table, and bathroom surfaces. I still buy paper towels for when I eat. This for me did not replace paper towels but it did replace the amount of paper towels I use. Instead of grabbing a paper towel to wipe down my kitchen countertop, I grab a Bambooee and clean up any mess.
The great part about the Bambooee vs. a rag is that it does not smell! The bamboo never gets moldy or harbors any bacteria. You can tell by smell alone. You can use it multiple times, rinse it with water and soap, and then let it air dry by the sink. I hang mine under they sink. After one week of use, I'll throw it in a bin for wash. I wash it on hot with bleach and detergent. I do not put it in the dryer. It shrinks drastically when you do. Instead I air dry them. Stretch them out when they're still wet. Then after when they're dry I roll them back on to the roller it came with. I stick the whole roll under the sink. I have noticeably spent less on paper towels. I love this product so much!" —AmazonAddict

Promising review: "This thing may seem like just an ordinary Tupperware, but I assure you it will blow that thin plastic garbage out of the water. It retains heat amazingly and does not bend or falter under extreme temperatures. I'm a college student and I have never felt such joy from making ramen in my small dorm microwave, for a 900 watt I recommend five minutes. Buy this product if you live and breathe air, because it is beautiful." —Theron
