    54 Problem-Solving Products That Will Just Plain Make Your Life More Comfortable

    Including a face mask so comfy you'll never deal with sore ears or breathe in a mouthful of fabric again.

    1. A set of Sea Bands, which target an acupressure point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. Basically, if you're someone who has motion sickness, morning sickness, migraine nausea, or even nausea brought on by cramps, this may be the thing to take you from 🥴 to 😊.

    2. A sleep-focused essential-oils blend made with chamomile, sage, and lavender to help soothe anxiety and reduce stress before bedtime and promote prolonged sleep.

    3. A popular water-resistant Under Armour face mask designed to sit off your lips, giving you plenty of room to breathe without getting fabric sucked into your mouth. It's also made with the company's Iso-Chill fabric, so it doesn't overheat despite being bulkier than other masks.

    4. A knee stabilizer band for knee pain relief both in the short term *and* long term, whether you get it from running, hiking, team sports, or jumping up and down every time you hear a Bruno Mars song start playing at a wedding reception.

    5. A set of silicone anti-snoring nose vents to dilate your nostrils and help promote healthy air flow, so you won't wake yourself (or other people!) up with your snoring.

    6. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that works its magic on your glass in just 20 seconds, so you can rest easy with your nightly glass of Pinot knowing you've spared yourself the infamous Post-Wine Headache or allergic reactions.

    7. A set of migraine relief shower steamers made with rosemary, basil, and peppermint essential oils with menthol, because honestly when you have a migraine, dropping a handy bath bomb on the shower floor is pretty much the most complicated task your brain is willing to roll with.

    8. A 3D mouth bracket that clips to the inside of your face mask to keeps you from breathing in fabric (especially important for someone like me who talks a million miles an hour and needs to suck in a lot of air!!).

    9. A combination sleep mask with wireless headphones so you can listen to white noise, audiobooks, or music to relax without risking your ears getting sore while you snooze. Bonus: It's designed to work for side sleepers, and the inside is contoured with a cooling memory foam so you don't feel pressure on your eyes, either.

    10. A pair of super-comfy period-proof underwear designed to hold two tampons' worth of period blood. Not only are these a great alternative to pads and tampons, they're also ideal for overnight protection (you can pair them with a pad if you have a heavy flow) and for people who are worried about ~leakage~ during sports or physical activities — I personally always wear period-proof undies when I go on runs on my period and it has been a MASSIVE godsend.

    11. A rechargeable hand warmer complete with double-sided heat and three different heat settings that'll make you the envy of everyone gritting their teeth through the winter cold.

    12. A delightful little tool called the Bug Bite Thing that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness right at the source. (Ability to curse mosquitoes into the next dimension not included.)

    13. A facial ice roller you can stash in the fridge or freezer to help with all *kinds* of miscellaneous ouchies, like migraines, sinus pain, and jaw pain.

    14. A foot file to remove painful, aching calluses and cracked skin from your feet with some gentle rubbing. Your feet are gonna be so smug when you're done, TBH.

    15. A pair of compression gloves designed to help alleviate pain from carpal tunnel and arthritis, so you can type at your keyboard without an internal monologue of "ow OW ow owwwww" for the majority of your workday.

    16. A customizable herbal sleep pillow that may help soothe your nerves before bed and give you a calmer, more restful sleep. (As much as we all love having Liz Lemon–esque nightmares about beloved cheese snack mascots.)

    A purple dyed stitched pillow with lavender in it

    17. A set of affordable, highly popular (seriously, these have over 200,000 popular reviews) wireless Bluetooth earbuds made with adjustable silicone tips so you can find your *perfect* fit, and never worry about them falling out or your ears getting sore.

    18. A suuuper popular Bio-Oil made with vitamins A and E, chamomile, and lavender — you may recognize it as a product a lot of people use to help fade scars (both old and new), soothe cracked and dry skin, and help moisturize without affecting your pores, but people are also using it in quarantine to help with dry and painful skin on their hands from hand-washing and sanitizing.

    19. A shampoo scalp massager you can use in the shower to massage and exfoliate your scalp, working wonders on painful irritation caused by dandruff or psoriasis. Also this just feels? Super decadent?? Like, hello, "getting your hair washed at the salon" vibe.

    20. A set of homeopathic jet lag pills to show all time zones and weary post-travel limbs who's boss. This doesn't have any side effects and won't mess with your *actual* attempts to sleep, but may help you feel more refreshed after long flights or (sighs deeply) red-eyes.

    22. An insulated weatherproof and soundproof strip that easily sticks to the outer rims of your door to keep heat and air conditioning from escaping out of your room, so you'll stay cozy all night long. (It also works great as a sound dampener if you *also* have neighbors who like to watch The Office on full blast at 2 a.m!!)

    23. A detangling brush with an easy-to-hold handle that's so effective on all hair types that it's amassed over 31,000 5-star reviews on Amazon — people swear by it for detangling fast without pulling and damaging hair, so you'll win back those ten minutes you usually spend going "ow OW ow ow" in front of the mirror each morning.

    24. A soft silicone ear saver and mask extender that works overtime on problem-solving — not only does it take some of the pressure off your ears, but it helps make a more personalized fit on masks with elastic straps that don't *quite* fit your face.

    27. A bottle of the *constantly* out of stock Glossier Solution, an exfoliating skin perfector formulated with three acid groups to "unglue" dead skin from your face to free your pores at last. Reviewers mention it making a big difference in irritation-inducing dry skin and redness over time.

    28. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors you can use to take care of those lil' unibrow hairs that keep dodging your tweezers or work whatever face fuzzies you might want to take care of in a gentle way, without any of the "YIKESSSS" of plucking or waxing.

    29. A roll-on migraine stick made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to help you soothe away that vague headache you sometimes get from sitting in one place for too long (Big Work From Home Mood, y'all).

    42. A Squatty Potty, one of those internet-famous stools you can put at the base of your toilet to prop your feet up on while you ~go~. The placement helps align your colon to make the process a whole lot easier and faster — like, 20 seconds compared to several minutes! — so you don't end up straining and/or watching all of TikTok while you're waiting yourself out.

    43. A Bevel shave system set, a grooming kit specifically designed for razor bump-free shaving for coarse, curly hair.

A hip belt designed for sciatic, pelvic, lower back, and leg pain you can wear to help stabilize ye olde sacroiliac joint (aka, the joint in your lower back that causes pain in a lot of these areas when it's inflamed). It's super lightweight and breathable so you can wear it for long periods of time, too.

    52. A podiatrist-level toenail clipper to quickly and easily take care of thicker toenails, but also those painful ingrown ones that you usually have to go to a salon or a doctor to get relief from.
