    36 Practical Products Everyone In Their 30s Should Know About Already

    You're def not ready for how awake you'll look after using this hydrating eye stick — you'll look like a well=rested teen.

    1. A belted portable cordless vibrating heating pad because you've had your period for 20-something years and every time Mother Nature comes around you swear she's trying to kill you. Since you can't use the *I'm bleeding uncontrollably* excuse to get out of work every month, this bad boy is exactly what you need to make your cramps and pain much more bearable. 

    Check out a TikTok of the heating pad in action. Reviewers note you should definitely wear it *over* your clothes! 

    Promising review: "Oh my god. This might be the best thing I have ever bought. It gets so incredibly warm. You do need to wear it over clothes to prevent burns but as someone who never finds any heat pack warm enough the lowest setting is exceptionally hot. As someone who has really bad menstrual cramps and chronic constipation this little belt does it all. The heat is so soothing and adjustable and heats up so fast. The vibration is my favorite part. It helps so much with trapped gas and bloating pains. It breaks up all the little bubbles and can even move things along if you’re having a hard time using the bathroom. The various patterns and heat combinations allow this to be truly customizable to however you feel at the time and it’s fantastic. Absolutely worth every cent." Chloe

    2. A reviewer-beloved Javy cold brew concentrate for some quick, easy, convenient coffee. Iced coffee, lattes...you want it? You got it! Simply mix one or two teaspoons of this yummy stuff with water or milk and there ya have it! Delicious coffee in seconds!

    Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on TikTok, specifically for making iced coffees this summer. I am not going to lie, I was dubious as I love my coffee SUPER STRONG and most other coffee concentrates simply fall short. Many have a terrible, bitter burned flavor and just don't deliver the high impact caffeine that I crave. I am in shock at the quality that this coffee concentrate has! I mixed just one teaspoon (it was getting late and I wanted to get some sleep that evening) with two pumps of my white chocolate syrup, ice, and milk. OMG!! It was amazing. I will be keeping it on hand for iced coffee permanently!" —natalie kehew

    Get it from Amazon for $24.87+ (available in five flavors and in multipacks).

    Promising reviews: "I HAD to write a review. I use this in the morning and night after my whole face routine and putting on moisturizer. I don't have dark bags, however my under-eyes do get a bit puffy and I was noticing fine lines. DUDE, those fine lines are fading. Last night I went to a party and woke up looking like the crypt keeper, and this stuff normalized my creepy zombie eyes in about 20 minutes. It's $9. Do yourself a favor and buy it." —Jasmine Deatherage

    "Better than Tula! I love this cooling stick!! It’s super easy, affordable and smells lovely." —Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (available in two colors and in multipacks).

    4. Trader Joe's cookbook because sometimes you think *I'm 30, maybe I should actually start cooking full meals rather than surviving off of TJ's orange chicken.* I mean, lamb loin with a pomegranate reduction, that sounds so adult-y and delish. Plus, it includes options for different diets like keto, vegan, and vegetarian meals! 

    Promising review: "For Trader Joe's lovers everywhere, this is a fantastic cookbook! It is filled with hints and tips, shopping guidelines, nicely organized recipe categories, and beautiful mouthwatering pictures.

    6. A tea tree and peppermint Remedy soap you'd think was a superhero cuz Captain America has nothing on this stuff (except for being incredibly hot, I'll give him that). This stuff will reduce odors and help calm and soothe skin irritations from dry skin to skin infections to acne to athlete's foot to ringworm, and if I continued to list it all, we could be here all day.

    Check out this review from an actual firefighter with tips on how to use this tool!

    Promising reviews: "Just had to use one of these that I keep on my keychain. I was first on the scene of a nasty wrong-way crash. The driver and a passenger were stuck inside the vehicle. The doors could not be easily opened (on the driver side) so I pulled out my keys and used this tool to pop out the window. It instantly caused the tempered glass to shatter, and I knocked the excess away with my flashlight before using a knife to cut away at the airbags. The woman survived, and it was incredibly comforting for her to see me face to face and know that she had a way out and that she wasn't stuck. We waited for a little, and paramedics arrived and were able to give everyone the care they needed. This was a real-life scenario, and this product worked. Would absolutely recommend." —AmazonShopper949

    "Everyone you know needs one of these. Put it on your keychain. First responders are required to carry it — that should tell you something. Never leave home without it. You may never need to rescue yourself, but you may need to rescue someone else. Don't regret not having one." —OlyBabs

    Get it in orange from Amazon for $10.95 (available in more colors here).

    8. wine wand because you love wine but wine does not love you anymore now that you've entered your 30s.

    Promising review: "OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me." —Penny Froh

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in other multipacks).

    9. A pair of seamless Nippies silicone pasties to help conceal the areola and nipple while also providing comfort and support without the need for an *actual* bra. These are perfect for all those sheer, backless, and strapless tops you've been dying to pull out andddd they aren't all lumpy, so they won't make your tatas look weird.

    reviewer wearing pasties under see through shirt

    Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer etc — nothing budges them) but then they also peel off so easily. It’s magic. They are completely seamless and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin on. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold do any level of nipple start to show through and even then it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase as soon as they wear out without a doubt! No more bras!" —Alison

    Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades, a lifting option, and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+).

    10. And a waterproof bra liner to absorb under-boob sweat and alleviate bra band and underwire pressure, because either it's already warm where you live or it's *about* to start getting warm, and we all know what that means. Keep your boobies in check and sweat-free with this lovely little reusable, machine-washable liner.

    reviewer smiling holding up their bra liner

    Promising review: "I am not making this up, I had been wearing a soft white tube sock under the wire area of my bras this summer. It has been hotter than usual in north Georgia and I’ve had some very uncomfortable chafing and irritation from being so sweaty so much of the time. I had the heel of the sock pointing up in the middle. I don’t even know what I was searching for on Amazon when I found these little blessings! These bra liners are soft, comfortable, well-made for the price, and not nearly as bulky as wearing tube socks! I’m so glad I found these." —Cheryl L. Kennedy

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes M–2XL and in six color combos).

    11. A jar of The Pink Stuff that's totally worth ALL the hype. Your jaw will be on the floor once you see what this magical cleaning potion can do. This paste plays no games when it's time to get tidy. Witchcraft, I swear. 

    Reviewer using it to clear up hard water stains in tub
    A customer review before and after photo showing the results of using The Pink Stuff on their stovetop

    Promising review: "This stuff is some magic sorcery. I’m not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fire place nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that…everything I’ve tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn’t even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." —Kim Montero

    Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in two sizes).

    12. An acupressure mat and pillow because MY GOD 30 came in and took a jackhammer to your back. If you've been feeling tense, this bad boy will help ~relieve~ some of that with 7,000 acupressure points. If that neck/back ache has you super grumpy, 10–30 minutes on this thing will work like a Snickers did on Betty White in that one commercial.

    Promising review: "Honestly a friend sent me a TikTok video on this item. I was like for $20 I'll try it, and oh my God, I have lower back problems and 20 minutes lying on this spiking mat helped relieve pressure. I work remotely and am sitting down for 8–10 hours a day, so tension builds up and this totally worked. So many ways to try using the mat." —Arlington Ink

    Get it from Amazon for $26.45+ (available in 15 colors and two sizes).

    13. A flexible power strip with three outlets, two USB ports, and a 5-foot extension cable designed so you can Tetris this baby through the weird little nooks in your home. Bulky chargers? No worries, they won't block the other outlets!

    Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered one. I absolutely love it. Everyone needs one in their life." —Dani Jo Stengsar

    "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P. 

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in four colors). 

    14. A pack of light-dimming stickers because those little LED lights on the TV have been in the way of you and falling asleep at a normal time since you were 15, and 15 years of being irritated is ENOUGH. If you can only sleep in a room that's basically pitch black, grab yourself these.

    The pack comes with a variety of shapes and sizes so you can dim any light that's annoying you.

    Promising review: "I'm SO happy I ran across these on a TikTok video! They work perfectly to dim the lights on my computer monitors, QI charger, laptop dock at my WFH desk, and blinky cable box lights. No more keeping me up at night with their maddening glow/blinking! I bought the black dim style, and they let me still see that the item is turned on, but it dims the light perfectly. These work WONDERS!" —DKT

    Get 100 stickers from Amazon for $1.49.

    15. A water-based instant Folex carpet spot remover that could clean up that chili Kevin spilled. No joke. I'm literally floored by these before and after pics.

    Promising review:I just removed makeup from my favorite white shirt and my white pillowcases!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn’t bleed the stain further down on cotton and removes on carpet just as well! It's both mind blowing and easy to use! I love spending my money on products that do what they say they are going to do! No regrets. Stop wasting money and effort on everything else!" —JRreview

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in multipacks).

    16. An encouraging daily planner so you can get your life together and keep being 30, flirty, and thriving. It's undated so you can use it whenever, and it has an appointment tracker, a priority list, meal planner, water intake tracker, and so much more. Literally they thought of everything. What's not to love?

    Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

    Promising review: "How did I live without these? Since I began working from home, these sheets are the best. They keep you accountable and I can go back to see what I accomplished each day, since you have to report your daily tasks. About to order more...thanks for making life easier! —Pame66

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 styles and two sizes).

    17. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier because pouring oil down your drain is no bueno and could cause problems in the future. This is a quick, easy way to dispose of that oil you have no clue what to do with. Sprinkle the powder into the leftover oil while it's hot, let it cool, and then throw it out!

    FryAway is a Latine woman-owned small biz founded by Laura Lady, who specializes in planet-friendly ways to dispose of oil. 

    Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two styes).

    18. A bleach-free weekly shower spray that'll clean your shower till it sparkles, but that's not all, my 30-something-year-old friends. This baby also helps prevent future soap scum buildup. Spray it, let it sit for 8–12 hours (so probz spray before bed), then wake up to a totally new shower.

    Promising reviews: "I got this product about three months ago and haven’t had to scrub my shower since! I just use this every week and rinse it off. It’s life changing!!" —Linds

    "I hardly ever leave a review but this stuff is amazing. I regretted getting glass shower doors until I got this stuff. Sprayed it on and waited overnight. All I had to do was spray the glass down and it looked the same as the day it was installed. All of the soap scum was completely gone without scrubbing. Will be buying again." —Rebecca Hash

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in three sizes, two scents, and in a two-pack). 

    19. A portable digital luggage scale because every time you go to the airport, your luggage is a pound overweight and you have to pay those outrageous baggage fees. Hook this bb to your luggage handle, lift it up, and the display will let you know how many more outfits you can cram into your suitcase without going over the weight limit.

    You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements. 

    And check it out on TikTok!

    Promising reviews: "When checking a bag, you always want to know the weight so you don't get charged extra. I was super nervous when this scale weighed a bag at almost 49 pounds knowing that the weight limit was 50 pounds and scales can vary. Was holding my breath when it was put on the scale at the airport and the scale came up as 49 pounds! Relieved and thrilled that this luggage scale was accurate!" —Sky

    "This was a great investment. No more guessing what our suitcases weight before getting to the airport. Found the accuracy to be very spot on. If you check a bag on your travels, you need one of these!" —pax

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in seven colors/styles and as a pack of two). 

    20. Two incredibly helpful blind-spot mirrors to keep you safe and help you see the things you'd normally miss. If you've been having those *where the heck did that biker come from?* moments since you were 17, you should def snag these. Dealing with 13 years of hating merging and switching lanes is enough.

    It comes with an optional adjustable swivel base!

    Promising review: "Well, I never thought I needed one of these until I drove a car that had one. I cannot count how many times I have merged onto a highway only to find out I was about to merge into another car in my blind spot. Well, this little mirror solves that problem. It is easy to install and large enough that you can see what is reflected. Voila! No more blind spot. Safer driving." —Linda P.

    21. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper for my friends who can't dice a vegetable without a potential trip to the hospital even in their 30s — it's all good, they make it look so easy on the Food Network, right?! If chopping those veggies seems too time consuming, then spiral, slice and dice with this super convenient, dishwasher-safe kitchen gadget. 

    Reviewer putting a potato on a flip top lid cutter and bringing the lid down to chop it into pieces

    A plus is that this baby can slice through a potato BUT remember how sharp that means it is and BE CAREFUL touching the blades! You'll get four different blades including a small dicer, large dicer, a spiral blade, and a ribbon blade.

    Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

    Promising reviews: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

    "This is one of the few kitchen gadgets that I've had zero regrets buying. It makes food prep a breeze. Also, the warning about not touching the blades is legit. They are ridiculously sharp." —ben wolf

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four sizes and colors). 

    22. ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller for an easy peasy cleanup. Yes, it's more expensive than a normal lint roller, but what do you do with your lint roller when it runs outta sticky paper? Buy a refill, right? Welll, this baby is reusable and doesn't lose its effectiveness after use! Money saved in the long run!

    Promising review: "This gets a remarkable amount of fur up in a brief time. I expect this will extend the time between me needing to do vacuuming — yay! It seems to do a better job than the vacuum as far as getting hairs out that have slightly woven themselves into fabrics, which is great. I recall thinking it was a little pricy but I'm so pleased with the results that I don't regret it. Let my best friend try it — she immediately bought one! After using it, my best friend said the price didn't even make her blink. We are using this largely in the living room where we hang out and also in the bedroom, our dog sleeps with us, and this seems to be helping more than just shaking out the bedclothes before jumping in." —J.

    23. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner you'll love because you spent a year paying off your couch then dropped pizza on it and you're just thinking, *how the heck am I 30?* It'll help you remove those tough stains from grass to mud to pet accidents using warm water and a special formula.

    Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $24.22

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing, for certain, it's simply magic. We had a stain in the house for YEARS that refused to come up no matter what cleaner you used on it and it was removed in a couple of minutes with this bad boy. Super easy to use, there are lines in the clean water tank that show how full to put the cleaning solution vs. clean water, then you simply hook it back into place and flip the machine on. Suction is constant and there is a trigger pull to help spray the fluid or just focus on suction. What's extra neat is there's a self-cleaning nozzle that simply circulates the clean water through the hose into the dirty tank so you don't have to take everything apart to clean when you are done. The dirty tank is locked in so you don't spill everywhere. The water that came up from that old stain was so dark, it was disturbing, haha. The only problem now is that the spot where the stain was is now so clean that it makes the rest of the carpet look dirty, lol. Definitely 100% would recommend!" —Collin M.

    Get it from Amazon for $122.69 (available in two styles).

    24. A "Cup Claw," because your most annoying problem for the past 20 years has been that every time you throw your bras in the laundry there are only two results. A, "wait, where the heck did the pads go?!" or B, "great, now the pads are so weirdly twisted up in my bra and are making my boobs look strange." This little god-sent miracle help you put the cups back in place. 🙌 Pure GENIUS.

    Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration, trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place I highly recommend this." —Wesley I.

    25. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles and longer ones that are 10 times thinner to reach those places your normal toothbrush doesn't reach. It'll get all up in your gum lines and between teeth to break up plaque and get rid of any food and residue. Finally, your dentist can stop shaming you...only took 17 years.

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

    Promising reviews: "What the what?! How can a manual toothbrush make my mouth feel so good? I bought a pack of these because I had an infection and wanted to use something else instead of my automatic one (the brush heads for that thing are expensive). The first time I brushed with this, it really did feel like I just got back from the dentist. My mouth felt soooo clean — cleaner than when I use my expensive automatic one. I gave my husband one to use because I was so impressed and now he uses one too. It's magic." —Karebear

    "Since switching to these toothbrushes, my dental appointments have been a breeze. My teeth are cleaner, my gums are healthier than they've ever been, and my dentist wanted to know my secret. I told him and his staff about these magical toothbrushes! Thank you for creating such a life-changing product that I am 100% sold on!" —Cricket Windsong

    26. A bottle of Rain-X Original Windshield Treatment to help improve driving visibility and wiper blade performance in those vicious April showers so you don't have a freakout moment since you can't. see. ANYTHING. Rain, snow, and sleet are no match for this magical repellent.

    Promising review: "I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." —Alison J. Gong

    Get it from Amazon for $8.54 (also available in a two-pack).

    27. Nasal gel with ~soothing~ aloe so your dry little nose can get the moisture it so desperately needs. You're in your 30s — you need more than Band-Aids and Tylenol in your med cabinet and this'll be the MVP anytime your allergies act up cuz pollen is literally knocking at your door. It's compatible with your delicate nasal tissues and gentle enough for even babies to use. 

    Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert.

    28. Burt's Bees after-sun soother because getting sunburned sucks and the aftereffects aren't any better. The aloe and coconut oil will work their magic to help soothe your bod. Oh, and reviewers love that it isn't greasy and absorbs quickly into the skin.

    Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into the skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and you can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Even if it does peel later on, it’s minimal compared to what it would be and look like if I had not used this sun soother. I don’t burn easily and love this product; my husband is as fair as they come and it’s his favorite sunburn solution as well. Highly recommend!" —Jessie Patterson

    29. A diagnostic code reader that'll identify your car problems or save you from purchasing a used car that's a total dud. Plus, you won't have to pay a mechanic a ridiculous amount to tell you what's wrong with your car. 

    Promising reviews: "I purchased this after my Ford was misfiring. Plugged it in, it gave me a code, and a quick internet search told me to check ignition wires. Replaced them, perfect solution. Then my Hyundai check engine light came on. Plugged it in, code suggested the gas cap was loose. Saved $175 test fee." —ACB

    "Best investment!!!!! No regrets. I purchased this Foxwell NT301 OBD2 Scanner and I have to say, hands down, this was the best device I have ever used. I used to go to AutoZone for my check engine lights but after so many times it got annoying. The quality of this device is spot on. Very easy to use, I like how it gives you the exact info on what’s wrong. The display is very bright and clear. The best part was the price for the quality." —Steven Perez

    30. The cult-fave programmable Instant Pot Duo because you avoid cooking like that's your full-time job. This thing is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, sauté pan, steamer, and rice cooker...what can't this thing do? Toss the ingredients in, hit the button, and this will handle the rest — psh, a breeze. Kinda like an adult Magic Mixie. The only appliance you'll need to get you through your 30s.

    Promising review: "This little appliance helps expand our menu and I have learned to do so much with it. I love how easy it is and how I throw everything in and it comes out done. No stirring and not many messy dishes. I still don't love it for meats, but I think that's just a matter of needing to experiment more with them. I seriously can't believe how many foods can be cooked in here! And I only have ONE thing to clean afterwards. Since I usually don't have to do many dishes with the Instant Pot, I tend to enjoy experimenting. My family is constantly surprised at how much this has changed how we eat." —Aundrea

    31. A pack of dual-sided shower curtain hooks to address what a pain in the neck it is to hook shower curtains and liners. Easily hang both shower necessities SEPARATELY. I am shooketh. And they're easy to slide?! Heck yes.

    Although they say that they're rust-resistant, everyone's experience is different. Many shower hooks do eventually rust and have to be swapped out. Still a pretty awesome and suuuuuper convenient option. 

    Promising review: "You don't know you need them, but you do! These are one of those things you could live without but once you have them, you never go back. I can easily change the liner curtain now or wash it without having to unhook everything. They also really slide so easy. Its the little things!!" —P. Simone

    32. A dainty auto insurance and registration organizer so you aren't stuck searching for the necessities in an emergency. This'll keep 'em neatly put away so you'll no longer hand the officer a crumpled up registration that took you a whole seven minutes to find under all the napkins in your glove compartment. Ahaaaa, look at usssss, being all responsible and stuff.

    33. A three-piece drill brush cleaning kit you can attach to a drill for some serious scrubbin'. Danny Tanner would have a field day. Your 30-year-old back will thank you, your bathroom surfaces will sparkle, and you will be so thankful it took half the time it usually does.

    The kit includes a 2-inch scrub brush, a 4-inch diameter flat brush, and a power scrubber brush. If you need a drill, here's a good Black & Decker one

    Drill Brush is a New York-based small biz.

    Oh! And each color of the Drill Brush attachments corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is for a specific type of cleaning job (like the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Make sure to check the listing for which color is best for what you wanna clean.

    Promising reviews: "So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'Heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." —A. givens

    "My shower has never been this clean! I have tried so many scrubbers, been sore from trying to remove soap scum, and just left disappointed. This product was easy to use and cleaned dirt I didn’t even know was dirt in my shower!" —Amazon Customer

    34. set of denim button pins because you have a tiny waist and a booty like Beyoncé and in your 30 years on earth, you've never found jeans that fit everywhere. Simply attach these to your denim pants, no sewing required, and boom — you can get rid of all the extra room in your waistband and *finally* have a pair of jeans that actually fit you perfectly.

    Promising review: "You need these, you don’t know it yet, but you do. Very easy to use. They work similar to a pin that you would use on a push pin board. Easy to adjust and move if you want and does not leave any noticeable damage to the jeans. I have a curvy body where if it fits my thighs it’s too lose on the hips, a couple of inches makes all the difference between wearable and worrying my pants will slip down. Just make sure to remove before throwing in the wash." —Rileigh Elizabeth Welsh

    35. A pack of heel stoppers to avoid your heels sinking like the Titanic into the grass. Think of how perfect these would be for outdoor summer weddings if you're gonna be a bridesmaid or even the bride! A total must-have.

    Promising review: "I received this by 12 p.m. using Prime One Day on the DAY of my wedding (yes my bad that I was so busy and completely forgot to get this earlier!) Snapped these on my Jimmy Choo thin heels immediately and they SAVED my day! They stayed on my heels the entire four hours that I walked in them in an outdoor garden with grass and gravel ground. I was greeting guests and taking photos and these protected the heels and they still looked decent afterwards. No sinking into grass, dirt, or gravel, and no embarrassment. They made my heels more stable and comfortable to walk in as well. So glad I got these!" —Jenn H.

    Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in sizes XXS–M for different heel thicknesses).

    36. A pack of four duster sponges because you're realizing in your 30s that your mother's dramatic reaction to dust is valid. Simply dampen one of these bad boys and it's good to go! And by good to go I mean it's ready to catch and remove dust, debris, hair, and stains around your place. 

    Promising review: "I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm, soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box, and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" —Bryn
