1. A quiet and powerful dehumidifier that'll quite literally suck the humidity right out of the air, which will help keep the indoor temperature down as well!
Promising review: "This fall I went from having never used a dehumidifier to having one on all the time. Before summer turned into fall, I ended up emptying the water reservoir about once a week. It could be that it's really humid during NYC summers, but I had no idea just how much liquid was in the air. To be fair we do keep it by the bathroom, but the kitchen feels a little cooler and the bathroom smells a little less damp. In summary, I hadn't used a dehumidifier before but this one seems to be doing the job well and, most importantly for us, quietly." —PAW
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
2. A cooling mattress topper to keep you cool and comfy in your plush-yet-breathable bed. It's infused with temperature-regulating gel beads, and reviewers who sleep hot swear by it!
Promising review: "I already have a very comfy bed. However, while on vacation we slept on a gel foam mattress and loved it. We had slept on non-gel foam mattresses and hated how hot they made us, so we never thought of purchasing a topper. The gel infusion absolutely works and now our bed is even more comfortable than ever." —DW
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in eight bed sizes and two thickness levels).
3. A breathable tie-dye bodycon I guarantee you'll want to wear to beat the heat, and you can wear it well into fall. It has adjustable straps to give you a perfect fit.
4. An anti-chafing stick so you can finally end the woes of your legs scraping against each other in the heat.
Promising review: "Omg this stuff is the best! I recently went to Thailand, where it was 90 degrees with a 70% humidity every single day I was there. This stuff got me through! I was able to wear dresses and shorts with no chafing! And I only ever had to apply in the morning and once in the middle of the day! My life is forever changed I’ve already ordered two more!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.
5. A personal fan you'll want to wear around your neck to make going outside actually bearable when it's 90°+. Consider this little gadget your own personal breeze machine!
Promising review: "I live in South Florida so it's hot and humid most of the year. This lightweight neck fan really helps! I like to spend time outdoors but sometimes it's just too uncomfortable. The neck fan makes a difference. The three fan speeds are nice but I like the fastest speed because you can really feel the coolness on your neck. There's a section of the neck band in the middle that is flexible and nonslip — this makes it easy to adjust so it fits just right! —R. Helfman
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in two colors).
6. A pair of breathable hipster undies to ensure you're as comfortable as can be where it really matters. Reviewers say these underwear are practically weightless!
Promising review: "Wow. These are some of the best undies I've ever owned. The main thing I am usually looking for in my undies is to forget they exist — i.e.: I'd rather feel like I'm not wearing undies at all! These are some of the only ones to ever fit that bill. The fabric is super super light. They practically feel weightless. They stretch easily in all directions and feel really durable to any stretch test I give them. They are also seamless with a bonded edge, which helps both with keeping them really lightweight and also not showing panty lines. As a non-thong person who still doesn't want to show lines, this is awesome and some of the best I've seen for that." —Cort
Get them from MeUndies for $20 (available in sizes XS–4XL and five prints).
7. A double window fan for anyone who wants to end the hot swamp vibe currently going on in your home — this little fan *might* actually make the room a little chilly, according to satisfied reviewers.
Promising review: "I live in northern California, with a relatively mild climate compared to many other parts of the country. Still, during the late summer/early fall months, we can experience some heat waves and hot days. My bedroom is on the second floor and even with an oscillating floor fan, it would get quite unpleasantly hot and stay too warm for me during the night. I saw the reviews and decided to give this dual window fan a try, as it wasn't too expensive. I am very glad I did. I had to place mine vertically as I have slider-winder, but it was very easy to install. It has made a noticeable difference. I leave it on low all night long, pulling in the cooler night air, and it gets chilly enough in my room that I need to pull the covers over me." —Jane in California
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two styles).
8. A set of cooling pillow cases to ensure your bed is one of the ~chillest~ areas of the house to relax in. Now both sides of your pillow will be the cool side!
Promising review: "I was looking for a nice cooling pillowcase for my memory foam pillow now that it’s summer and this was absolutely perfect. I’m such a hot sleeper and this helps keep me cool. Highly recommend. The other side is also super comfy for when you flip the pillow over." —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $13.55 (available in six colors).
9. A triple-layered, vacuum-insulated S'well water bottle that's worth the investment. If you want your iced water and drinks at brain-freeze inducing temperatures with no condensation (even on super-hot days) — this is the bottle for you.
Promising review: "Love my new personalized S’well bottle! I am a big fan of these bottles as they keep my water cold, even in our Arizona summers! I never leave home without one!" —Lynette R.
Get it from S'well for $35.
10. A bandana cami so you can look fab and stay cool during the next heat wave, thanks to the spaghetti-strap backless cut!
Promising review: "Great fit, versatile piece, and it goes with a lot!" —Morgan Dyer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes L–4X and six colors).
11. A pack of cooling towels you'll run under cold water before you head out into the blazing sun and enjoy the cooling effect that'll lasts for hours.
Promising review: "These towels are awesome. So far, we have used them for working out in our hot Arizona home and plan on using them in the car when the heat is unbearable during the summer. It's nice because they don't drop water on you, but keep you nice and cool. For working out, I ended up tying it around my neck like a scarf so it wouldn't fall off as I jumped around. These are great!" —Breanna Garrison
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four color varieties).
12. A set of blackout curtains you'll want on every window in your home. They dampen sound and block out sunlight to help you get a nice, quiet break from the heat. And they have over 26,000 5-star reviews 👀.
13. A clever misting system so you can create a new go-to spot in your backyard to hang out and cool down. Put it under the umbrella, by the pool, on a fence, or on the deck and you just may feel like you have an AC unit outside!
Promising review: "I love spending time outside and we entertain on our patio, too, but when it's over 100 degrees nobody feels like visiting...till now! I bought one and liked it so much I ordered another to cover both patios. They lower the temps to a more moderate level in just moments and don't use a 100 gallons of water doing it. I put mine along the top of our privacy fence and then put a fan in behind it and made it almost like having an AC unit outside. Easy to put up and take down, convenient hanging hooks, too!" —Sonya Combs
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
14. And a jumbo, three-lane slippery, slidey lawn water toy so you and your S.O. or all three of your kiddos can cool down at the same time and have a blast in the yard! (Rainbow inflatable not included.)
15. A bee-proof and drip-free hummingbird feeder thousands of folks swear by, as will you! Put it near your misting system and you'll go from a person who hated summer to a *chill* bird-watching angel.
16. A super-light silk slip dress for anyone who copes with high temps by adorning themselves in a lightweight, simple, and gorgeous drip.
17. A cold brew maker so you can enjoy all sorts of yummy iced drinks at home. No longer will you have to venture outside in the summer for an iced latte that'll get watered down by the time you get home!
Promising review: "Summer is hot, thankfully it is now more bearable with freshly made cold brew coffee from home. I love this product! Instead of having to drink hot coffee while its sweltering outside or having to drive in the heat to Starbucks, our home is now a café of choices. This is easy to clean and easy to use. The flavor is perfection. Go buy one!" —Manuel and Sonia Almodovar
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
18. A two-pack of static-clinging car window shades to help block out the sun and keep the temp in your car down, so you don't have to keep the AC blasted for comfort. Or so you can simply survive, if you're driving a car with no AC like me 😭.
19. A breathable linen tank that'll help you stay cool — reviewers swear by it for staying comfortable on hot days.
Not Perfect Linen is Lithuania-based Etsy shop offering linen wrap tops, dresses, tank tops, and other lovely finds for your wardrobe.
Promising review: "I really love the color Canyon Clay in summer and am now happy to own one of these special linen tank tops from Not Perfect Linen. The shirt is rather wide in design, so the cut is rather loose, but this makes it very comfortable to wear, especially during these hot summer days. As always, uncomplicated order and delivery as announced!" —Petra
Get it from Not Perfect Linen on Etsy for $61.64 (available in sizes XS–XL and 45 colors).
20. And a set of stainless-steel popsicle molds ideal for those of us who go through popsicles like it's their job, especially when it's hot out there. You'll be enjoying classic and easy-to-make popsicles all summer long for many years with this beauty!
Promising review: "These were very well made. Stainless-steel molds have welded seams that are smooth, well finished, and free of any loose metal as reported by others. I chose these over a plastic version, because the stainless-steel molds release with just a few seconds of cold water. They give you six extra silicone seals. This product should last a lifetime, if you can keep the parts together! Great for anything that will freeze." —Bruce
Get it from Amazon for $35.74.
