    40 Problem-Solving Products That Work So Well, You'll Think You've Died And Gone To Heaven

    Including things to fix common summer problems, e.g. chafing, bug bites, and perspiring beyond belief 💦.

    1. A bottle-emptying kit if you're someone who adds water to ensure you get every last drop out of your shampoo, dish soap, etc. Instead of diluting your most-used products (who wants watery lotion?!), turn them over with this lil' gadget in place so all that good stuff can to come to ~a head~.

    2. A tube of Glossier Boy Brow to fill and shape sparse-looking brows. With just a couple swipes, you can achieve fluffy, full, natural-looking eyebrows that won't collapse out of place.

    3. A carpet cleaner that works so well, you might think it's magic. Don't worry — your eyes aren't deceiving you; this formula literally clears up any evidence of (horrific) accidents, sticky soda spills, pet stains, and shoe markings from your light-colored carpet.

    4. AirPod cleaners to clear out the gunk that's stopping you from getting the full effect of your summer jams on your run. Just squish the putty square into your AirPod speaker, peel off, and proceed to be amazed (read: horrified) at the debris that's been dulling your sound.

    5. A bug bite suction tool if the only thing that gets you down around this time of year are nasty 'quitos. In fact, I just had lunch outside only to find one nibbling my ankle, so yeah — you bet I'm gonna arm myself with this sucker that drains out the irritant and stops swelling and itching in. its. tracks.

    6. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes for anyone who finds themself d-r-i-p-p-i-n-g in salty fluids day after day (even if it's cool outside!). Just peep this before and after; the after could be you...in the future...bone dry. AKA, run — don't walk — for these godsends.

    7. A six-port outlet that — ta-da — SWIVELS, which allows you to plug stuff in behind your couch and other areas without the cord ends protruding or getting damaged.

    8. A nose hair wax kit in case you're looking to avoid eye-watering pain that comes from tweezing those stragglers beneath your nose. This kit contains everything you need to keep that area hair-free for up to four weeks!

    9. An automatic scrubbing brush so you can eliminate unsightly grout with a detachable oscillating brush head that'll provide *instant* gratification. This brightens up the dingy look of backsplashes and floor tiles in your kitchen and bathroom so well that you'll probably find the whole process incredibly therapeutic.

    I mean... just look how graceful this thing is:

    10. A set of Wad-Free pads invented to make sheet-washing day a little more enjoyable. If you've ever pulled out a tangled mess of bedcovers clumped together with other (sopping) items, you're going to want to listen up: These time-savers clip onto the ends of sheets to ensure everything *stays separate* so you don't have to do multiple drying cycles.

    11. A pack of stainless-steel cleaning wipes that'll rid your (usually) shiny surfaces of grubby fingerprints, residue, and watermarks in just a couple swipes. You spent an arm and a leg on that state-of-the-art fridge, so you'll want to see it gleaming no matter how many hands have been all over it.

    12. A Filtrete air purifier because you've gone long enough with allergens like pet hair, dander, and dust flagrantly floating around your home. This true HEPA filter sucks up bacteria- and odor-filled particles to improve indoor air quality, so your space can finally feel clean every day. Now you and Snickles can live in harmony sans litter box stink!

    13. A foot file here to reverse crusty feet epidermis back to its OG baby-soft state. If you want to let your hooves see the light of day now that it's officially sandal season, this miracle worker will gift you with brand-new feet that you'll be proud to parade around.

    14. A hard-boiled egg timer you'll wonder how you lived without once you put it to use. This lil' guy changes color to indicate how your eggs are cookin', so you can ditch the "how long should I" Googling you do every time you decide to boil an egg.

    15. Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets so you can keep the appliance that does your least favorite chore for you in tip-top shape. These dissolve residue buildup and blast away foul odors to get your machine cleaning dishes like it's supposed to.

    16. A chic wooden knife stand designed with magnets on both sides that hold up to eight kitchen knives. So the next time you're facing off against Bobby Flay (in your head), you can reach for your sharpest tool quickly without having to rummage around in multiple drawers.

    17. A wrinkle releaser and fabric freshening spray for when you have last-minute plans and your favorite shirt is covered in unsightly crinkles. This stuff zaps away creases in a pinch, so you don't have to even think about the fact that you're in your late twenties but still don't own an iron....

    18. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid pimple patches that work to absorb pus and shrink zits ~head on~. For those who are not out of the maskne woods (me), these are great to prevent picking and, according to one of our editors, are an effective treatment to avoid scarring and hyperpigmentation.

    19. A pressure washer to power clean every inch of your outdoor space and make it look brand-spanking-new. Layers of muck along your house and driveway have finally met their match with this device that is more satisfying to watch than a five-minute ASMR vid.

    20. An adjustable blind duster because, sure, having your windows dressed with decorative blinds is nice, but did you know that area is a total magnet for not-so-cute dust bunnies?! With one quick swipe, you'll remove allergy-causing particles faster than old you would sneeze and exclaim, "Bless you!" to thin air.

    21. LABeautyologist no-drip cleansing cuffs that you'll look at and think how on earth did I ever live without you?! Their ability to protect clothes and arms from getting all sudsy and soaked during your 10-step routine is enough to leave you short of breath.

    There are a number of things that bug me in this world, but one thing that consistently grinds my gears is the feeling of soaking wet, sopping sleeves after I've cleansed my face. No matter how high I roll them up, water just finds a way to trickle down towards my sleeves. I've even resorted to just wearing T-shirts to avoid the problem, but then my arms are still soaked and I still end up leaving a puddle of water behind in the bathroom. Enter: these cozy-soft cuffs. They're truly adorable, absorb allll the water, dry quickly, *and* they're machine washable! To me, they're a must-have and worth every single penny to avoid a small but totally annoying problem.

    LABeautyologist is a small biz owned by beauty guru Nayamka Roberts-Smith. She's known for creating the 60-second-rule: cleansing with fingers for a minute to allow your cleanser's ingredients to get to work on your complexion.

    22. A set of bedsheet holders — the (swoonworthy) solution you've been looking for to hold crumpled sheets in place. And if your covers happen to have lost a couple of inches in the dryer, these'll make sure they don't creep around when you're trying to find your comfy, still spot.

    23. Bottle Bright cleaning tablets to remove grime and funky odors that unavoidably build up over time in your trusty water bottle. These miracle workers are biodegradable, chlorine-free, and don't require a finger to be lifted as you just let 'em sit overnight and they do all the work for you.

    24. A set of gold collagen masks if carrying less (under-eye) baggage into the summer has been on your list of to-dos. These little miracle workers are fab if you're experiencing some puffiness thanks to Ms. Pollen — pat 'em on for some cooling and hydrating relief (it's just a bonus that they brighten too!).

    25. A microfiber laundry ball that collects fuzz and microfibers from your clothes — think synthetics like fleece and swimwear. This was cleverly inspired by the way coral filters out the ocean, so by using this in the wash you'll be keeping pollution out of waterways. Less shedding = happier oceans.

    26. A simple-yet-magnificent lid organizer with adjustable dividers so you can *cheers to the sky* finally retrieve missing lids that were previously just chucked in your cupboard by your lovely, but idle roommate.

    27. A Wi-Fi extender that'll strengthen your connection if you happen to be stuck in an internet dead zone in your home. This will boost your service, so you can watch YouTube tutorials all the way through without fear of them freezing.

    28. Drawer organizers if you've ever gone on a treasure hunt for that one nude thong so you can wear your white jeans. Now it's finally a thing of the past, thanks to dividers that take care of your mess of bras, socks, and underwear alike.

    29. A Tushy bidet that'll feel like a visit to the waterpark for your bum! We are here for anything that creates less TP waste, looks sleek (this comes in a silver and bamboo knob style), and cleans our backsides so we don't have to.

    This bathroom must-have doesn't require electricity or any additional plumbing, and can be temperature controlled.

    Promising review: "It is very easy to install. We are addicted to this product because it works wonderfully and it saves so much toilet paper! Also, it is perfect for the elderly or anyone with stiffness or poor range of motion in the back or shoulders...clean-up is efficient and consistent." —Roger Brown

    Get it from Amazon for $54.95+ (available in two styles).

    30. A reusable Revlon oil-absorbing roller stick made with volcanic stone to tackle 4 p.m. T-zone shine. Simply put, you can give your skin a quick roll with this once your face becomes more reflective than the screen you've been staring at all day. A bonus? No white cast leftover from setting powder and no extra makeup tools needed.

    31. An electrical cord box that has a faux wood top and white base that's attractive enough to seamlessly camouflage itself within your living room, *and* hide unsightly wires. (Because we know you're sick of seeing the ivy of cables that run from your TV down the sides of the wall.)

    32. A hanging T-shirt organizer if you're sharing a closet with someone who's ever exclaimed, "Aren't dresser drawers meant to stay open?!" These ingenious rolls can store anything from T-shirts to pants and even linen items, so you can take care of their sloppiness and maximize your wardrobe space.

    33. A clever morning and night dog feeding tracker you'll be so happy you bought, especially if you can never seem to remember if you gave Sparky his breakfast.

    34. Snug and supportive bike shorts (with pockets!) designed with a high waist that won't fall down during workouts. Plus, they'll make the perfect underlayer to defeat thigh-chafing when you're out and about.

    35. Some waterproof screen repair tape that will take care of all those rips that have now become gaping holes in your screen door. In a matter of seconds, this simple DIY task will ensure your home is free from unwelcome guests buzzing around.

    36. A set of ~luxe~ velvet slip covers to update your drab, worn-in sitting area with a living room glow-up that is a lot more affordable than buying a brand-new couch. And it couldn't be easier for a DIY newb, since you just slide these babies over your TV-watching spot and secure them with nonslip straps.

    37. Vacuum seal bags for a serious space-saving solution when you're traveling. Now you can get away with packing a couple extra things...just in case you end up going to a fancy dinner, or if there's a drop in temperature, or you end up needing a spare swimsuit....It's always good to have options, right?

    38. A hanger stacker designed to give you store-worthy organization in an instant. Because the first step to tidying up your closet is arming yourself with the right tools...the right tools NOT being a tangled up mess of coat hangers.

    39. A convenient slide-out pantry that's perfect for two jobs: ridding your countertops of clutter and utilizing the dead, black hole space found between your fridge and kitchen wall.

    40. A five-pan organizing rack to minimize noise (and mess) that's a result of a disaster zone-esque cupboard. Place these in there so your untidy beau finally gets the hint of how to organize the utensil that makes their eggs.
