1. Anย at-home slushy-making cupย so you can ~slushify~ basically any drink you can imagine. (Soda, LaCroix, juice, smoothies, iced coffee, you name it!!) All you do is freeze the cup for four hours, pour in your liquid, and crush the sides until a slush formsโฆcouldn't be easier!
It even comes with a spill-proof lid so it won't leak while you're crushing the cup!ย
Promising review: "These are becoming a daily used item in our house. We ordered multiples for each of our children but they're great for all ages. I like making an Orange Julius and my son loves frozen Dr. Pepper. The options are endless and they work like a charm every time." โVLS
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ย (available in 14 colors and two-packs).ย
2. A volcanic stone face rollerย because let's be honest, you've been out and about before, seen your face in a mirror or reflection and genuinely asked yourself how your face looks so โจshiny.โจ Well, now when that happens you can just whip this bad boy out of your purse and put an end to the shine with a quick swipe.
This roller is better thanย blotting sheetsย because it is reusable and you won't find a stash of used papers in the bottom of your purse after a weekend full of events.
This roller is made with volcanic stone which absorbs the extra oil on your skin. Simply roll it across your face and watch it instantly ~mattify~ without messing up your makeup!ย
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 onย TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful.ย 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 pick up 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." โKelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.49.
3. Aย waterproof pouchย designed to not only protect your phone but to also make sure you can still *actually* use it. Now you can prove you saw a giant turtle instead of just hoping people will believe you.
It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It also keeps out sand, dirt, and rain.ย
Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck, and so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river and I just assumed it would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriffโs Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" โJulie McDonald

4. A mini sprinkler poolย for your kiddos (or you) to splash around in and cool off without having to dump what seems like two TONS of water out of a kiddie pool when the fun is over.ย
Several reviewers shared that this little pool kept their kids engaged for hours.
Promising review: "My kids love this. It is soo easy to plug the hose into and turn the water on and the kids can have hours of fun. Once the kids are done playing, I disconnect the hose, let the water drain, and hang it over the porch." โAustin
Get it from Amazon for $24.96+ย (available in four themes).
5. Or aย portable wading poolย that is big enough to lounge or play in to help cool off your pup (or yourself ๐). And when the season is over you can fold it up for easy storage!
Plus it isn't inflatable like other little pools, so you don't have to worry about your dog puncturing it. And while we're on the subject, check out hot weather pet tips from the ASPCA.
Promising review: "My big dog and my son, who is nine, loved playing in this pool. It's big enough for them both to sit in it and splash around. My dog usually hates getting in water and hates bath time but he really likes this pool. He was hesitant at first but once my son got in he started playing. It is definitely worth it. It's very durable. I had a little trouble folding exactly like the picture but I got it folded into a square and put away fairly easy and fast. It doesn't take up much room at all. It is super easy to clean. We had a lot of grass in ours because my dog kept getting in and out and a little dirt but it came right out with a spray of the water hose. I definitely recommend this for all dog owners who want their pups to have a little fun in the sun. I also saw some reviews of people using it for other animals and I think that it would work for just about anything. It's not big enough for my kid to swim in but I think most kids would have fun splashing around on hot summer days." โBeautifulxxDisaster

6. And a pressure-activated cooling padย because you can't forget about keeping your fur baby cool. It's about 5โ10 degrees cooler than room temperature, so you can anticipate finding them laying on this constantly.
Check out someย hot weather pet tips from the ASPCA.
Promising review: "I have a pug and a toy fox terrier/Chihuahua mix and they absolutely love this thing. I just leave it sitting on the living room floor and they gravitate towards it whenever they need to cool down (they sometimes even fight over it). Both fit simultaneously if they are in the mood for sharing the space. The mat is tough, too! I don't think their nails can penetrate it." โE Marsh

7. Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50ย with a slight tint so you can keep your skin safe (!!) while also evening out complexionโฆ anyone in for a makeup free summer?!
8. And Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30ย designed with dark skin in mind, because why should you have to deal with a sunscreen that is drying and leaves a white cast on your skin? This sunscreen is made with natural ingredients to blend into your skin and leave you protected from the sun *and* moisturized.ย
Black Girl Sunscreenย is a woman- and Black-owned small business hoping to combine sun protection and education while creating a sunscreen to solve one of the main reasons POC don't wear sunscreen โ the white cast left behind. The sunscreen comes in three versions: original SPF 30,ย matte SPF 45, and aย kid's SPF 50. They are all paraben-free, fragrance-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.
My colleague Marquaysa Battle also swears by the stuff (and she's so great about skincare!). Here's what she has to say: "Babyyy! This was the best beauty find of 2020 for me. The first body sunscreen I've found that does NOT leave me looking ashy. Wearing sunscreen regularly (yup, even in the fall) is one of my new self-care methods and I feel good putting this on knowing it a) doesn't look ghostly on me and b) was made by Black women just like me."ย
Promising review: "My daughter used the original formula and I used the kid's version. We wore it outdoors all day in direct sunlight at the beach and pool (without reapplying like we're supposed to). It worked well, and we didn't have that white hue from other sunscreens. Now, I feel more inclined to wear it more often. Even better, our sensitive skin didn't react to it, not even on our faces." โamsirahC

9. A callus-removing gelย so you can quickly and painlessly remove allllll your calluses. Reviewers praise this for dissolving dead skin in ~minutes~ so buckle up, your feet are about to be as smooth as a baby's bottom (and pool-ready)!
Promising review: "Amazing. Now I know the first pic is gross but that just shows how bad my feet were, scrubbing, pedicures, soaking all just made it worse until I found this cream! I mean it seriously shows in the pics. The other big thing I noticed was how soft my feet were after using it! Too bad you can't tell that from the picture. Idk what makes this work so well but it's a miracle! And yes definitely wear gloves and you're good to go." โAmazon Customer

10. A six pack ofย slow-cooker linersย that'll entice you to throw more meals into your fave appliance before heading out for a day of fun in the sun, knowing not only will you not have to cook when you get home, but you also won't have to clean!
Promising review: "Try these liners once and you will never use your slow cooker without them again. Pop one of these liners in and once your meal is ready you can easily lift the liner out and the mess goes with it. No more soaking and scrubbing. Just rinse it out with soapy water. I find these especially useful if Iโm cooking up big batches and freezing part of the batch. I can pour right out of the liner into a ziplock bag. No messy ladling necessary." โlandr007

11. Hanging vacuum bagsย to help store away those bulky winter clothes because you can confidently say the warmer weather is here to stay.
Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" โJia Yan

12. A cutieย octopus-shaped blackhead removerย that can fit into all the weird crevices on your face to help exfoliate away anything that you can't reach with any of your other tools (or tbh fingernails).ย Plus, look how stinking cute this is, why wouldn't you want to have this little guy be part of your beauty routine??
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." โLuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.ย
13. A bug bite suction toolย to help reduce itching and swelling by aiding in removing the irritant from the bite. If you don't find yourself needing this, consider yourself lucky and buy it for one of your friends who is just soย sweet,ย all the bugs swarm to them.
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times โ so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived on Monday and on Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm. I used this little tool (3x per the instructions) and documented with photos. Immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: itโs awesome. Iโm carrying it with me everywhere!" โRebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ย (available in four colors and multi-packs).
14. An exfoliating scrub mittย that will finally ~effectively~ remove all the dead skin that has been building up on your body for...longer than we might like to admit. Is it gross? Maybe, but is it satisfying? Absolutely.ย
Promising review: "I have very thin and light body hair, so any form of removal (shaving, waxing, etc) usually leaves me with a lot of ingrown hairs. I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist onย TikTokย and thought I'd try it โ it's amazing! I also have very sensitive skin, and this mitt doesn't leave my skin irritated at all. However, absolutely do not use this mitt on your face, neck, or other sensitive areas, it would be way too harsh. I like to use this mitt first when I get in the shower, then use a body wash (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and follow up with body lotion for dry and sensitive skin. This whole routine is fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturized." โKat
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in one- or two-pack).ย
15. An airplane footrestย made out of memory foam so you can kick your feet up and pretend like you're flying in business class to all your summer vacay destinations.
This hammock did not disappoint. I am one of those people who has to have my feet up or propped on something or else I just cannot get comfortable. Because of this, I tend to struggle on flights.ย I bought this for my recent international trip and it completely changed flying for me.ย Instead of constantly moving around to try to find a comfortable position, I just rest my feet on the hammock and can actually be comfortable. Even though I wasn't able to stretch my legs out straight (thx for no legroom @ Delta), just having this to keep my feet propped off the floor made all the difference. HIGHLY recommend for any long flights.
Promising review: "Iโm aย flightย attendantย and I travel A LOT! This is a game changer! Folds up super small in the cute bag they provide and really makes a difference when on those longย flights. The people in front of me had no idea I was using it. Thanks for the great product!!!" โsarah rubin

Promising review: "My boyfriend and I are avid Koozie users for beer and all cold canned beverages so you can imagine how thrilled we were to find this!

Promising review: "I wasnโt expecting these to work that good honestly but they are great! They are easy to apply and they come off leaving no residue at all. I use them on my kitchen window and garage door into the house. Other sticky fly traps havenโt worked for me but these get the job done." โAudrey

20. And a roll of window screen tapeย to patch up any holes to stop flies, bugs, and other unwelcome pests from getting into your home in the first place.
Promising review: "This RHO screen repair tape is fabulous and simple to use! Just cut to size, pull off the clear protective film, and press onto the tear or hole in your screen. That's it! There are 15 feet on a roll and it couldn't be easier. I've patched my screened porch now in five to six spots and while the tape is visible, it prevents bugs from crawling through, which was my goal. If you don't have the time, money, or inclination to completely replace a screen, this is the perfect solution...and the fastest! Will buy again in a heartbeat if I run out of this roll." โsallywally
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors).
21. A stick of anti-chafing balmย you can apply between your thighs, under your arms, or anywhere that one piece of clothing always seems to rub you the wrong way. There's nothing worse than pulling out that cute dress you've been dying to wear just to end up having to change because you started chafing ๐ฉ.
"I own this and yes, can vouch that it's QUITE effective for inner-thigh chafing (the bane of my existence). I also recently rubbed it on the places where dress sandals hit my feet and dance the night away at a wedding reception with no pain or rubbing." โElizabeth Lillyย
Promising review: "Omg this stuff is the best! I am a chubby girl and I recently went to Thailand where it was 90 degrees Fahrenheit 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 Iโve already ordered two more!" โAmazon Customer

Promising review: "If I could leave more than five stars for this swimsuit, I WOULD!!!! I want to scream from the rooftops about how amazing the fit and feel of this beautiful set. I put this on and immediately felt like a million dollars. The top boasts padded cups and adjustable everything, making it fit well no matter your size. I generally have a hard time staying in bikini cups, and I was able to tighten the back AND sides of this suit for a perfect fit. Well-made, well-loved, and I will wear this suit to EVERY beach and pool party from now on!!" โAnnie Hinz

Promising review: "I went out on a limb and bought 24 of these bad boys. I hung them up all throughout my house. I didn't use the adhesive though, I bought an 80-count pack of thumbtacks. I live in Alabama, the temperature outside is 99 today. I do not have my air conditioner on since I have put these up, it has literally cooled off so much in my house. TOTALLY worth it. I'm so happy I didn't drop hundreds of dollars on regular blinds. I'll never go back!!" โAmazon Customer

24. Aย curved shower attachmentย designed to more effectively clean your pup's thick coat that got ~coated~ in mud when you let them roll around outside with the fam.
Promising review: "I wish I purchased this sooner. I have a very hairy double-coated dog, and this gets ALL the shampoo out of his fur. The flow is adjustable, and he will let me spray the top of his head, which he won't let me do with the dog shower attachment at our apartment dog bathing station. The hose is long enough so I can get completely under his belly. I also use this wand to clean the shower walls. I have tried other styles and brands, and this is the best dog shower attachment I have ever purchased. Very easy to install and it looks nice and sleek in the bathroom." โHeather

25. A wide-brim Panama hatย with an adjustable band for sizing and chin strap to keep it on your head in even the most blustery conditions. And it packs up all nice and snug for easy travel to your next beach destination.
Promising review: "I'm not a hat person but I really like this one. It fits well and looks stylish and nice. The chin strap is also handy for windy days. It is large enough to shade your face but not so big and floppy that it's obnoxious. It also came packaged with a plastic form to keep its shape. It has instructions for folding it also. I traveled with it in my suitcase using the plastic form and it kept its shape and didn't get smushed." โMustang Lisa

27. Crave Naturals Detangling brushย to get through any of those extra stubborn tangles *without* pulling out all your hair in the process. Especially after a long day of swimming.
Promising reviews: "This is the BEST detangler EVER!!! Do not use onย dryย hair though, if you have curly or wavy hair. It will straighten your hair and leave it frizzy. But, use this in the shower with your conditioner and you can finger comb your hair,ย airย dryย if possible, and your waves and curls will be the best ever!" โTDHokey
"I love this brush. I have 4c hair and it detangles my hair without a lot of hair loss. I do make sure my hair is wet when using it to detangle. The brush is pretty easy to clean, as well by just pullungbthe hair out and using running water. The only thing that could be better is the handle could be longer." โNikki Jenks
Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in eights colors and two-packs).

Promising review: "I was originally looking for silk pillowcases, but decided to give these a try because they were a better price. I am not disappointed! I have seen a noticeable difference in my hair in the mornings and overall they are so smooth and comfortable to sleep on. Iโve washed them several times and havenโt seen a difference in the quality. I would buy again." โKate

30. An automatic bleach toilet cleaning systemย that'll send cleaner into your bowl with every flush, so you don't have to get up close and personal with a toilet brush in hand. And less time cleaning means more time laying in the sun or playing in the pool!
It's super quick to install, and one cartridge can last up to three months!
Promising review: "I've installed these in all six toilets in my home and they are a great idea. I've been using this for about 4โ5 years. This device circulates bleach product into the toilet bowl after every flush, where it is needed to prevent staining such as water lines from calcium buildup. The chlorine water is restricted to the bowl, not the tank. If chlorine is in the tank it will erode away the flapper and foam seal which separates the tank from the bowl, requiring more expensive repairs. This product solves that problem with no drawbacks and don't look unsightly like the clamp-on bars of chlorine that are permanently inside the bowl." โDr. D123

Promising review: "I put some in my hair for the first time today and I'm impressed! I towel dried my hair and then put about a quarter size in my palm and spread throughout my hair, scrunched my hair, and then let it air dry.

Macarena Collection is a Buena Park, Californiaโbased small shop that specializes in Mexican-made shoes and embroidered clothing.ย
"I have these huaraches from the shop and, I swear, they are the comfiest shoes I've ever worn straight out of the box. On my first day of wearing them, I walked about 40 city blocks with no pain, blistering, or rubbing. Zilch! I basically live in them now and, it turns out, they match with basically everything I wear when it's at least 70 degrees out so they've been pounding the NYC pavement quite a bit in the past month since I got them. Since initially reviewing these, I took them on a two-week summer vacation to Italy where I pounded all kinds of ancient pavement in them, including at the Roman Coliseum, the Vatican Museum, Venice, and all other places with all kinds of uneven ground. They were comfy the whole time and *still* didn't rub or give me blisters. Plus! They were super airy and helped air circulate around my feet despite the heat." โElizabeth Lilly

Brassybra is a woman-owned small biz that was inspired by the founder Katherina's fruitless search to find a supportive bra alternative to wear with her wedding dress. She went with duct tape and now, well, you don't have to!
This kit includes three one-time use bra sets, three sets of nipple covers, and one test strip. It's latex-free, hypoallergenic, and can be cut to accommodate necklines. If you've never used anything like this before, definitely try out the test strip for a couple of hours to ensure you don't end up with skin irritation!
Promising review: "Brassybra is phenomenal!!! I am a big chested woman and I am in awe at how well this was able to support me. Itโs the first time Iโve been able to wear a strapless outfit and be completely comfortable. My traditional strapless bras dig into my back and theyโre so tight and uncomfortable. Brassybra allowed me to dance all night and be comfortable and supported. I have found my new go to strapless solution, thank you a million times over!!!" โChanelleย D

"I've tried these before on some weekend friend getaways where we drank a LOT of wine and I think they really work! Just don't get overeager squeezing the bottle because then you can put way too much in your glass and make your wine taste weird. Yep, I did that and learned my lesson. Drop It recommends 1โ2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2โ3 for a glass of red, and 7โ9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be g2g!" โElizabeth Lilly
Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine, it was so bad I just stopped drinking wine altogether, then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" โshelleymab

Promising review: "I originally bought this at Sam's Club and ended up loving it! I ordered my next bottle on Amazon because Sam's no longer carried it. I have long hair and I only put it on as if it were conditioner. I stay away from the scalp. I leave it in for eight seconds then rinse. My hair is so silky soft and it makes it not frizzy the next day when I let it air dry. It is very liquidity so what I do is just squirt it directly on the hair instead of putting it in my hands. You waste a lot because it drips if you put it in your hand. I highly recommend!" โJenelle McNeely

Promising review: "Easy to use, easy to keep the nozzle working and I would buy it again. Adhesion was outstanding! The color saturation after a few light coats is a perfect match to the cap color. I tend to shy away from dark colors because they are difficult to work with, this line from Rust-Oleum has changed my view and I will definitely be using more of the dark colors because this can was amazing. Whether the surface in question is smooth or textured the paint stuck and is still sticking. I recommend wearing gloves just in case your finger slips off the trigger, it's good paint, sticks to your nails and skin pretty tightly so protect them when you work with it." โLuther-sMom

39. A lemon-eucalyptus sprayย to keep you bite free and smelling lemony fresh. ๐ ๐ฆ
It's made with lemon eucalyptus oil (not DEET!) and is supposed to last for up to six hours.
Promising review: "After an endless amount of North Carolina spring/summers searching for a 'safe for the family' repellent, I stumbled upon this. I had ordered a bottle of Skedattle repellent and a three-pack of this because the reviews for both were high and seemed like a sure thing. The three-pack of this was the same price as one bottle of the other. Well, the Skedattle didn't do anything for those freaking mosquitoes, they still swarmed us like we weren't even wearing anything. But this product, OMG! It actually worked, and not only did it just work, it worked GREAT! I tried a few different trips with this stuff on, and the kids use it every time they go out, and we hadn't had a single bite with it on. I will say though, it has a VERY strong smell, and you definitely want to make sure you reapply this as needed, but other than that, it's a great product. I won't use any other spray from now on." โWill M.

40. Or a pack of insect-repellent wipesย you can keep in your purse or pocket (and easily take on planes!) for a quick way to keep those pesky insects from ~bugging~ you.
"When I was a kid, someone told me that mosquitoes love me because I'm so sweet. And I FULLY believe that as an adult because I still get eaten alive if I'm out for long periods of time without wearing some kind of repellent. I've used these wipes on several park days here in NYC (sitting on a picnic blanket drinking wine with friends is more or less screaming COME GET ME to skeeters). But I've really found success with them on a recent hot weekend trip to Savannah, Georgia. I don't notice any smell when using them and have found one wipe to have enough repellant for my arms and legs. So basically, a one and done. I don't think that I've gotten *any* bug bites on days I've used these wipes. Plus, I have extremely sensitive skin but haven't had any irritation from these seemingly powerful wipes!" โElizabeth Lilly

Promising review: "I am so in love with these, mostly use them for running, etc. I use them at night a lot because Iโm going through menopause. It has been a miracle for me, Iโve tried all kinds of supplements they help but this actually works better for me. Also had a virus and used one to cool me down and help with fever. So they have so many uses, I suggest that everyone get these!" โAnnette Looper

45. A sunshade triangleย to protect your backyard oasis from the sun's rays that are sometimes just aย bitย too muchโฆbut not enough that you want to actually go inside.
Promising review: "My pool is awesome when it gets into the hundreds of degrees here in California. We decided to grab a 20x20x20 triangle and holy cow does it do a number on the backyard! Not only does it keep my pool better-shaded, but it also keeps the sun off of my back patio during the hottest part of the day." โThe Tiki Lab

Promising review: "Another amazing productย TikTokย made me buy. Was looking for something for when I wet my hair in the mornings. My old typical spray bottles kept breaking or leaking. This one has a longer spray time and the mist is perfect when I donโt want to get my hair too wet. All in all worth it especially for the price." โM. Zunigaย

48. A camping hammock with a mosquito netย so you can kick back and relax in nature without worrying about all those annoying bugs crawling on you. Maybe now you can convince your ~nature-hesistant~ friend to take a trip with you.
The net isn't removable but if you choose not to use it, you can flip it to the underside while in use.
Promising review: "We recently took two of these camping and they worked well. Hammock sleeping takes some getting used to. They are initially comfy but, depending on how you set it up, your legs can end up high which caused me to wake up a few times to adjust my sleeping position. The mosquito netting is a great add. Be careful getting into the hammock as one of the lines we used to hold up the netting was caught in our hand and snapped when the full weight of your body was applied. It's not really a product flaw, you just have to make sure you are only putting your weight on the sleeping surface and not the netting when getting in. Common sense really, just something to watch for." โTony
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in two sizes, 11 color combos, and two styles).
49. A pair ofย quick-dry water shoesย perfect for protecting your feet during the adventure excursion you've had planned for months.
Promising review: "I bought these shoes a couple of years ago before a river hike. UM THESE ARE AWESOME. They lasted a long time and the only reason I bought these yellow ones were because I wanted a new color, haha. My older pair did start to wear out in the toes from scraping them on rocks and such when hiking but still no holes in them. These shoes feel like socks but with enough of a sole that you can walk on gravel with no problem. It really is like walking barefoot. Also, these are the only water shoes that I have worn that do NOT let a bunch of debris into the shoe making you constantly have to take it off to empty it or just deal with the irritant. You can play on the beach with minimal sand stuck between your toes. Thoroughly impressed by that. So with that, I do recommend if you are a half size to size down so they are snug, otherwise the sock like ability to keep stuff out might not work so well." โSamantha Lindsay
