    32 Products To Help With All Those “Embarrassing” Bodily Functions That You Forget Everyone Else Has Too

    Trust me, these'll keep your oiliest and driest and stinkiest problems at bay.

    1. A manual "flossing" toothbrush that has thin bristles, which help naturally eliminate the buildup and debris that tend to linger on other toothbrushes. The tip of each of its flossing bristles is as thick as a single human hair and reaches between your teeth and under the gum line to help with cavities and give you a minty clean feel. And if you have sensitive teeth, no worries — reviewers say these bristles are super soft.

    Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this toothbrush!! TikTok made me buy it and I will never own anything else again. My teeth feel clean all day long like I went to the dentist but better. I even have a sonic toothbrush and this blows it out of the water. Don’t hesitate…buy this for your teeth!" —Amy

    2. Plus, a stainless-steel tongue scraper because, trust me, your tongue has more gunk on it than you think. This useful tool lets you scrape it allll off and effectively helps freshen up your breath. It works so well, one reviewer even says they can now taste specific flavors they've never detected before!

    Dr. Tung's is a small biz that makes breath-improving dental products.

    Promising review: "I have gone 30 years of my life having the worst breath known to man. I would brush and brush, and within 20 minutes, I'd be back to the same. I never knew how to get rid of it. Then, I came upon this little item on Amazon. I decided to give it a try because I figured I've tried everything else. Wow, just, wow...I couldn't believe how much crap this thing was pulling off my tongue. Seriously, if you have suffered from bad breath, give this a try. You will not regret it." —Me

    Get it from Amazon for $7.34 (also available in packs).

    3. And an alcohol-free oral rinse if you have good oral hygiene but want your minty fresh breath to last all day. This rinse works instantly to target and fight bad breath germs for up to 24 hours. Some reviewers claim it has also helped reduce tonsil stones and prevented new ones from forming.

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Amber Usher says about it: "I've been using this mouthwash for years and it changed my morning routine for the better. Not only does it kick morning breath to the curb, but it also claims to help prevent gum disease. And I love the smell/taste — it's like you just bit into a peppermint patty."

    Promising review: "TikTokers have done it again. This was one of the products on Amazon a person could not live without stating all-day freshness. It's true, I cannot believe it. The taste isn't strong; it does not burn at all. It keeps my breath smelling fresh all day no matter what I eat. This brand will be a new staple in my bathroom and morning routine." —Zac

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34.

    4. A powerful callus remover because it only takes one "before and after" pic to prove that it works wonders on those rough, dry areas that can develop on your feet. Just apply the gel and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then follow up with a foot scrubber. This is the *perfect* addition to your next self-care day.

    Promising review: "I don't think I have EVER left an Amazon review in all the years I've been a member. I have always had rough heels since I was a kid. Grew up in south Florida and was always outside barefoot. I get pedicures regularly and I have NEVER had my feet left as soft as this! I soaked my feet it warm water for 10 minutes, (didn't dry them) put this on for about 5 minutes, then used the foot cheese grater on it and OMG! I couldn't believe it! Smooth as a baby's butt! I put Aquaphor and socks on afterwards. So amazing that I ordered my daughter one. This is better than what they use in salons. You won't regret buying this." –Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available as a two-pack).

    5. keloid remover in case your new piercing came with an unexpected (and unwanted) bumpy little friend that won't stop growing. 🙃 This'll help heal and reduce it so that everyone can focus on your cute new bling instead.

    Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this 2–3 times a day, be patient, and you'll start to see the results.

    Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

    Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it and in less than two weeks my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" —Jordan Caprigno

    Get it from Amazon for $12.85.

    6. An ear-washing bottle, which is a *much* better alternative to cotton swabs and will finally give you that ~clean ear~ feeling. Simply insert the plastic tip, give the bottle a few pumps, and watch as all those icky nuggets get flushed out!

    Promising review: "My son has earaches all the time. Took him to ear doctor and they basically said he's got a lot of ear wax buildup and to purchase this item. I was skeptical at first but as soon as I used it on my son, he had so much relief because all of the hardened wax was pumped out. I use it on myself and it's worth every penny and so much cheaper than going to the ear doctor every other month." —Tootie

    Get it from Amazon for $29.45.

    7. Hard as Hoof nail strengthening cream infused with powerful ingredients like calcium, jojoba oil, and vitamins to stop flimsy nails from breaking and making you re-start your nail growth journey. Your nails will grow to be so strong and beautiful, you might even consider a career in hand modeling.

    Promising review: "Achieved holy grail status. My entire life I have had very weak nails that split. Regular manicures aren't helpful, neither are supplements or a healthy diet. No underlying health issues to contribute to this. I bought this a month ago on a recommendation. I'm pretty amazed that within three days I saw a significant improvement with the cuticles and my nails have been getting stronger ever since. For the first time ever my nails look healthy and strong and I can wear polish and still see benefits. Some of the reviews talk about a weird cherry smell but I think I have a reformulated one that smells light and pleasant, like shea butter. I have since bought two more...one for the office and one for my car. GAME CHANGER!" —R. Weber

    Get it from Amazon for $7.94 (also available in multipacks).

    8. A noncomedogenic CeraVe salicylic acid body wash so that you can finally break up with those scabs and keratosis pilaris bumps. With hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, this gently cleanses and exfoliates your skin.

    Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year it really flared up during warm weather so I gave this wash along with lotion a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses and after a couple of weeks most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can’t beat this price for the results either." —Ashley Steigerwald

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    9. Or an organic antifungal body wash that's sure to give you a spa-like feel and smell. It's enriched with many natural ingredients like eucalyptus, dandelion, and horsetail to help wash away bacteria and relieve itchiness and odor.

    Derma-nu is a family-owned small business based in Clearwater, Florida.

    Promising review: "I have always had a jock itch problem in hot weather. This antifungal wash has cleared all that up. Also works on heat rash and chafing. I can't praise this soap enough." —John O.

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two sizes and as a set of two).

    10. An exfoliating scrub mitt you can use in the bath or shower to achieve that ~buttery soft~ skin. It helps you gently lather off dead skin and eliminate bumps caused by keratosis pilaris. The best part? You can get specific about the exfoliation pressure, since it's on your own hand! Reviewers say it works wonders for ingrown hairs and also to remove spray tan.

    Promising review: "My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use, its true. All the grime, rolled up skin, flakes and chucks — shudder, that was on me??? Everything other customers are saying about how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use though — I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about six weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, a MUST-HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this! Did I say I recommend this 100%? I do!" —Kindle Customer. g'ma

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a set of two). 

    11. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that works like magic to eliminate excess oil and mattify your skin as you roll it around your face. As someone with skin that's always making me look like a glazed donut (not in a cute way, trust me 🙃), I appreciate this wonderful little tool.

    Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on tiktok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable which helps you save money and be less wasteful. The packaging wasn't over the top exciting, but it provided you all the info you needed. (It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep.) After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pickup everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.97

    12. A nonaerosol I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo for tricking people into thinking it most definitely has not been a week since you last washed your hair. This is infused with biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder and comes with a conveniently attached puff so that you can dab, dab, dab away all that excess oil and grease to instantly add some volume back into your hair.

    Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa

    Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in four sizes). 

    13. A skin spatula to really and truly give you that feeling of ~clean skin~. This uses high-frequency vibrations to gently remove gunk and impurities from pores — not only will you feel refreshed, but it'll create the perfect canvas for your expensive skincare products to *actually* absorb.

    A before and after of a reviewer's skin

    Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I could not pass this one up. After my last pregnancy, I started developing cystic acne; my skin was congested with oil, whiteheads, blackheads, you name it. I hated the texture of my skin. I impulsively bought this and tried it the day it was delivered. I was amazed at how well it extracted all the gunk I could and couldn't see lurking under my skin. I use it every night to cleanse, then apply my serum and moisturizer. I am finally happy with the way my skin looks and posted a selfie without a filter for the first time since I can remember! Just try it! (All photos were taken in natural light. No filters on ANY of them! I'm still in shock!)" —Marlena H.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).

    14. A box of wart-removing pads if you've got a wart that seems to think that it should be the center of attention. This pad is disguised as a bandage and is packed with salicylic acid to dry it out and officially give it the boot.

    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 bandages and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these 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." —J

    Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29 (available in two styles and three sizes).

    15. A tub of O'Keeffe's hypoallergenic hand cream to help restore moisture to dry, cracked, and sensitive skin. It also creates a protective layer on your skin's surface and gives your hands some hydrating relief.

    the same reviewer's hand, which now looks moisturized, less red, less cracked, and less angry

    Promising review: "I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working HandsCream and within two and a half days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's non-greasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." —T.H.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.58 (available two sizes and in sets of two, five, and 12).

    16. A hairbrush cleaning tool because, hey, humans shed (and we have the nerve to make fun of our pets). But at least we have this tool to effectively remove all those strands, fuzzies, and buildup from your bristles without having to go back in with tweezers.

    The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean.

    Promising review: "When I bought this I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." —HeartsofHavoc

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

    17. And a "Shower Cat" you can use to easily brush those wet, shedded hair strands off of your hand so that they don't end up in other nook and crannies later on. Plus, this helps keep them from making their way down your drain in the first place!

    Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs. 

    Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf

    Get it from Amazon for $14.95

    18. Some seamless bra liners because that's one of the most annoying areas when it comes to sweat. These are made from cotton and bamboo to absorb moisture under and between your boobs — no more sweating through your shirt and ruining your OOTD!

    Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for" —Niko

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in three colors). 

    19. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers that you'll be satisfied to peel off your skin as you see all the gunk they pulled out overnight. No picking or pinching needed. Oh, and they have over 130,000 5-star reviews!

    Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway 

    Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $11.97.

    20. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes to help stop hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating from clashing with your cute fit. Give your pits a swipe of this before bed, wash in the morning, and enjoy going about your activities free of sweat (and sweat stains)!

    Each box lasts two months!

    Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

    21. And a clinical-strength Secret deodorant that can withstand up to 72 hours of stress, heat, and your day-to-day activities while keeping odor and moisture at bay.

    Promising review: "I have been trying all kinds of deodorants for months, trying to find one that works! I sweat a lot at work and this stuff works! I don’t have to reapply. This doesn’t leave any staining on my clothes. The smell is nice and light. Finally found something that works!" —Zindarella

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98 (also available as a two-pack).

    22. Easy-to-use retainer cleaner tablets to helps dissipate your night guard's... uh... ~unpleasant~ smell/taste. Just pop one of these in a glass of water to give your retainers, Invisalign, etc. a refreshing soak. Your mouth will thank you!

    Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." —Lisa R.

    Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $21.81.

    23. A bottle of highly rated dandruff shampoo because we shouldn't be expected to deal with both bad hair days and flakiness. This gentle shampoo uses ketoconazole to help eliminate dandruff-causing fungus, along with the annoying itchiness that comes with it!

    Promising review: "MIRACLE PRODUCT! If you have a flaky scalp from dandruff, BUY THIS. I was about to go to the dermatologist if this stuff didn’t work. Thank goodness I saved myself hundreds of dollars by giving this product a shot. I used it four of five times (over a month) and it cleared my scalp almost completely. One more use and my scalp will be 120% healed! This stuff blew my mind. Totally worth it." —chris

    Get it from Amazon for $14.27.

    24. A bottle of widely popular Bio-Oil multiuse skincare oil with vitamins A and E, chamomile, sunflower, and lavender oils to help fade scars and stretch marks while helping your skin retain moisture and achieve a more even tone. One reviewer even compares this stuff to sorcery.

    Promising reviews: "Holy grail product. This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin, but this has not affected me negatively at all. This product is amazing. It took about three months for me to get wonderful results. There is a slight, somewhat medicinal smell, but I actually kind of like it. If you have scars of any kind, I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I have an old burn scar on my hand; no matter what I used it never seemed to fade in the slightest. I’ve been using Bio-Oil on it for about three months now and it’s made such a difference! It’s basically completely gone! Such a better result than I was expecting! I was only hoping to fade it slightly." —sarah_baerah

    Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in three sizes).

    25. A doctor-recommended Squatty Potty — you won't know how much you actually need it until you try it. It props your feet up for the optimal colon-opening position so that your post-coffee trips to the toilet can be quicker and less painful. The things we look forward to as adults now...am I right?

    Promising review: "I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." —P.W.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (get the acrylic version for $79.99 or the teak wood version for $48.48). 

    26. And a before-you-go toilet spray that packs such a punch, it should be considered the Rocky of all bathroom sprays. It's infused with a blend of lemon, bergamot, and lemongrass essential oils to trap the funk before it even gets the chance to wreak its havoc. Like Apollo Creed said, be a thinker, not a stinker.

    Promising review: "I’m boarder line ecstatic with this product!! Marital bliss may now ensue. I was skeptical of the product, simply because I wondered if ANY product could remedy the smell factor emanating from my husband’s deification situations. Y’all. They. Were. TOXIC. And worst of all, we only have one bathroom AND the fan in the bathroom is BROKEN!! So if I’m taking a shower and he needs some throne time, guess who gets to choke on the aftermath? 🤢 This toilet spray arrived a couple of days ago and *heavenly chorus* IT. WORKS. I’m so so SOOOO beyond happy!! Buy this product. It’s awesome!! 10/10 would recommend." —Stewed iOS 

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in seven sizes).

    27. A natural shoe deodorizer spray with a concentrated formula of eucalyptus and lemongrass essential oils that'll kick the funky odor in your favorite Nikes to the curb.

    Promising review: "This product WORKS! You won’t be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty and this spray helps keep the awful odors away at least four to five days (probably longer but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell haha!) The lemon is strong and the eucalyptus I love, so I would purchase again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also so I’m sure I’ll soon be using this in his shoes also." —Traeannah Brown

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95.

    28. A nifty gadget called the Bug Bite Thing that suctions on bites to help remove venom, saliva, and other irritants and stop that dreaded itch.

    See it in action on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "I never write reviews but I’m amazed by this product. I saw it on TikTok and I usually get bit by mosquitoes a lot during the summer so I thought I would try it. After a few suctions it was like the mosquito bite was never there." —Ryan

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in three colors as well as multipacks).

    29. Finishing Touch's nick-free Flawless Hair Remover for those of us who shave and must brace ourselves for the incoming ingrowns and cuts. This helpful little tool keeps your skin nice and smooth *without* the dreaded nicks that can come with a standard razor. Reviewers who are used to razor burn and ingrown hairs say it's a lifesaver.

    Or just let that bodily hair see the light. Remember, removing any bodily hair is optional, not necessary!

    Promising review: "I love love love this shaver. It works great. Easy to use. Its design is a comfortable fit in my hand. The side grips allow no slipping. The more I use it the smoother my legs are. I have coarse hair and trouble with razor burn and ingrown hairs. This unit feels like an exfoliant treatment each time I use it. Really great. No irritation. I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $41.71

    30. A cradle cap comb, which is being hailed as a *lifesaver* for parents with little ones that have flaky scalps. Simply rub the bumpy silicone side on your kiddo's scalp to loosen up those flakes, and then use the fine teeth to comb them out. Bathtime just got a whole lot more fun!

    New parents, don't panic. Cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — is a very common dry scalp condition that affects infants.

    Promising review: "The pictures posted here are legit. It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It’s amazing and gross and wonderful. My babe doesn’t even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then I slowly start to comb in sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in different directions. It’s shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I’ve even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!" —ZMomUtah

    Get it from Amazon for $4.19.

    31. And speaking of ingrown hairs, a vegan ingrown hair oil for those little bumps that are like visiting guests who Just. Won't. Leave. (You can't just magically make them disappear, but you also don't want the consequences of agitating them too much.) Have no fear! Infused with jojoba, tea tree, and grapeseed, this oil will help keep your skin smooth, calm redness, *and* help prevent ingrowns.

    32. A pack of earbud-cleaning putty because, no, Beyoncé isn't singing underwater — your earbuds are just a *bit* clogged up. 😬 Just gently press on your earbud and bask in satisfying disgust as you watch allll that gunk being peeled away.

    Promising review: "After seeing this on BuzzFeed and looking at the reviews along the way, I literally bought this because of another review that said it fixed her muffled iPhone 11. So glad I did!! I had the exact same issue with hearing people on my iPhone 11 and was SO frustrated. But this worked instantly. Stuffed a square of the putty into the very small receiver you hear out of and for the first time in months I can hear people clearly and loudly out of my iPhone without being on speakerphone. I am so happy I don't have to get a new phone. I used them to clean my AirPods as well; it was good to see all the gunk come out despite not having an issue with sound for them. Definitely a great purchase." —jtd
