    If “Avoids Problems” Is Practically Written On Your Forehead, These 35 Problem-Solving Products Will Come In Clutch

    A plant moisture meter to face your *killing the plants* problem and a Wet & Forget shower spray that'll help you continue to avoid your cleaning problem — balance, people, it's all about balance.

    1. A pack of detergent cup holders that attach to detergent containers to catch any drip anddd (obvi) hold the little cup. No more mess! We adults (or at least just me) looooove to *avoid* our problems. Well, problem solved rather than problem avoided! 

    Tidy-Cup is a woman-owned small biz founded by Julie Reinhold because she was tired of detergent containers dripping on her laundry room floor.

    Promising review: "I had no idea I needed this until I saw it on TikTok. Listen, it’s the little things that matter. This little thing saves me the headache of a laundry room mess. I love it. Fits perfectly on my liquid detergent. No more messes!" —Christina

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99.

    2. A 12-pack of stackable shoe organizers to beautifully organize your shoe collection AND protect them from dust. If you've got a terrible way of organizing your shoes, like me, you should definitely consider this. 

    reviewers clear shoe containers filled with shoes
    reviewers shoe containers with one open

    They're sturdy and have ventilation holes to allow air flow and prevent odor. All different kinds of shoes fit in them, from heels to sneakers AND the large size fits shoes up to men's size 9 and women's size 10 and the 2XL size fits shoes up to men's size 14 and women's size 15.

    Okay friends! I bought these over the summer because my organization system was literally throwing all of my shoes into a big, plastic bin which was no bueno. One *may* say I have too many shoes but I believe there's no such thing. Regardless, I could never find my shoes so I bought these little clear organization boxes and omg, closet = elevated. I forgot I even had certain shoes! Now I can easily see and access my shoes and figure out which pair to wear. I love these things so much and my closet looks much neater (not at the moment or I'd take a pic, I've got some cleaning to do 😭 ). They do take patience and time to put together but they're so so worth it. 

    Promising review: "Used these to get rid of shoe boxes in order to save space and allow me to see exactly what I have. Initial thought was oh no, cheap plastic but it’s actually pretty sturdy. Doors open fairly easy and it does exactly what I need it to. Only negative is the time putting it together but even that didn’t stop me from ordering another." —Ms.Mary

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes). 

    3. wine wand because you love wine but wine does not love you. This little handheld filter helps remove histamines and sulfites in alcohol that may trigger headaches and other symptoms, so you can treat yourself after having to deal with the day's problems without creating more problems. Plus, it'll help restore the natural taste of your wine after it's been opened.

    And check it out on TikTok!

    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).

    4. A bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower spray that'll clean your shower 'til it sparkles, but that's not all, friends. This baby also prevents 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. So, like, you can still avoid having to clean it but still get it done — genius.

    Promising review: "This stuff is like magic, it has changed my life. I am a disabled senior and had always dreaded cleaning the shower. Now it's a pleasure! I just spray the shower down before bed and rinse it in the morning. That's it! Leaves everything sparkling clean! I don't even have to squeegee the shower doors! I can't say enough about this wonderful product. I very highly recommend! I will be giving it out to my kids and family as gifts. It is the best product I have run across in many years! Get some today! You won't be disappointed!" —Lynne888g

    Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and in a 2-pack). 

    5. A magnetic ironing pad because you'd rather just *not* pull out that big ol' ironing board. Stop going out wrinkled and snap this baby right onto your washer or dryer to make the dreadful task of having to iron your clothes a bit less dreadful. 

    Promising review: "If you're like me and live in a space that doesn't have a ton of room, let alone space for a big old ironing board, this is the perfect solution. This mat easily sticks with the magnets to the top of the dryer. It's a great space-saving solution. If you're looking to minimize, this is what you want!" —JD

    Get it from Amazon for $13.87+ (available in two sizes).

    6. Or a two-pack of Downy wrinkle release spray so you can just avoid ironing all together. It'll also help eliminate odor for neat, fresh clothing. Just spray, smooth, and go! Getting wrinkles out has never been easier.

    Promising review: "We took the Downy Wrinkle Guard spray for our 14-day cruise and to our disbelief all of our clothing looked as sharp as the day that we packed our luggage. A light spray on the wrinkled area, slide your hand over, and the wrinkle is gone. Great product!" —Albert Zayas

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.24 (available in five scents and various multipacks).

    7. belt organizer cuz where the heck are you supposed to put 'em anyway? I literally don't know where I put my belts, like no clue where they are. If you *also* have had zero ways of organizing your belts, now you do! 

    Promising review: "For years I have been trying to figure out a way to hold all of my husband's belts — it's been a frustrating task and I have tried many different methods that were all just not right. He doesn't wear the traditional belt, but the homemade leather ones with the ginormous buckles that don't have the D-shaped loop that other people use to hang their belts with. This holds them all, even his thick belts. WOW, I am so relieved that this works so amazingly well. SO HAPPY!! Very nice, beautiful wood, and the design is so simple and works so incredibly well. This makes belts actually look good when stored instead of the jumbled mess they were before." —H and H HONEY

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three types of wood).

    8. cold brew coffee maker for those days where you can't pull yourself out of bed and consequently can't stop at Starbucks. I've been there, every day this week, actually. Add your coffee to the filter, brew for 24 hours, and voila, a perfect cold brew for the morning and five extra minutes of sleep. Plus you'll be able to avoid all your other problems with an iced coffee in hand, soooo win. 

    See it in action on TikTok!

    Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E. 

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 

    9. ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller for an easy peasy cleanup. And this baby doesn't lose its effectiveness after use!

    Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 

    10. Roomba robot vacuum so that your home can stay clean without you, ya know, having to clean it cuz you like to avoid that part. This thing is self-charging, works on carpets and hardwood floors, and can be scheduled to clean through the iRobot Home app orrr Alexa or Google Assistant. If you ever wanted Rosey the Robot from The Jetsons in your house, this'll satisfy that desire. 

    reviewers Roomba opened showing all the dirt and pet hair it collected
    reviewers Roomba vacuuming around their house

    I got myself a robot vacuum to give myself one less daily task and OH MY GOSH. I'm soooo thankful for this thing. It has changed the game. I loved my Dyson vacuum that a family member gifted me, except I hated having to manually vacuum. Anything that takes a little work off my load is a win for me. My hair is constantly everywhere so I was always sweeping, vacuuming, and crying because there's always something to clean (welcome to adulthood, am I right?) but nowwwww, I get home and the hair that was on my bathroom floor after styling in the morning is gone. I almost kiss this thing daily, I love it and it has been the ultimate life upgrade. So so worth it. I have mine programmed to vacuum my house every Wednesday and Sunday morning through the app on my phone, I don't even have to turn the thing on. If you're super busy and cleaning stresses you out, let this vacuum take some of the stress off your plate.

    Get it from Amazon for $219+ (available in two styles).

    11. Or if you're like, "wait, I'm trying to avoid mopping, too," no worries, I got you — a Roborock robot vacuum and mop combo. Yep, two tasks done by one robot. No need for a cleaner or maid because this'll take such a huge load off of your plate. How could you not fall head over heels? This thing is the kinda extra we crave.

    Jessica Hall / BuzzFeed

    Check out why my colleague, BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jessica Hall, looooves this: "I recently got this magical little device and though I've only run it a few times I can genuinely tell you that it is a game changer. Unlike my other robot vacuum, this lil' guy also mops!! Vacuuming feels like a never ending battle with my hair and my three cats' fur because as soon as we are done there's somehow already more hair everywhere. This is going to change our lives forever. We can easily just run it whenever we want through our phone, and it even has a sensor to avoid obstacles so you don't have to worry about picking stuff up off the floor before you start it. And on top of all that, it even empties, cleans, and refills itself!! Like you literally don't have to do anything other than push a button to start it. Yes, I know this thing is expensive, but honestly can you put a price on basically never putting any effort into cleaning your floors again?! 10/10 I would like every cleaning task to have a robot that'll do it for me."

    Get it from Amazon for $1,099.99+ (available in three styles).

    12. A set of two spice shelves so that you can actually see the paprika when you need it rather than picking up every seasoning with a red top and reading the label 'til you find it. And these are non-slip so your spices won't be sliding all around on your aesthetically pleasing shelves. Two problems avoided by one product. 

    Promising review: "This is the best organizer I have ever had. I LOVE to cook and have a million and one spices and this has solved so many problems. I spend more time on my recipes than I do looking for the spice now! It's amazing, just buy it!" —Mar

    Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in two sizes).

    13. A subscription to Blue Apron if grocery shopping and cooking are things you barely have time to fit in and you're tired of Trader Joe's orange chicken and microwave quesadillas. This service will send you all the ingredients and instructions so most of the work is done for you, and you don't have to spend hours that you don't even really have to grocery shop and cook. You'll get some seriously delicious meals and many of 'em take less than a half hour to whip up!

    14. An Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that's perfect for all skin types and will effectively get rid of any makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while also preventing your pores from clogging up. In fact, it's so effective, reviewers say you can actually see the gunk and oil leave your face. You'll be kinda grossed out by the ick seeping out of your pores while also being totally in love with the results.

    Oh! Anddd reviewers say they use this as a step in their double cleansing routine. What the heck is that, you may ask? Well, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice — first with an oil-based cleanser, and then again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the gross stuff out of your pores.

    Promising review: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" —Myshel Cagle

    15. An extendable Baseboard Buddy to clean molding, your fireplace mantel, and of course, your baseboards. It can reach surfaces both high and low and your back and knees will thank you for ~not~ crouching down, because those are not the same knees you used to use to get low like Lil Jon. No more walking past your baseboards and pretending to not see all that dust.

    a before and after of a reviewer's once dusty baseboards

    The kit includes one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry. Plus the pads are microfiber and will trap and lock dirt so you won't walk past your dusty baseboards thinking *I'll get to that later* every other day. 

    Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

    16. A set of Wonder Hangers because your problem is you have zero space left in your closet but can't resist buying more new, cute clothes.

    Check out a TikTok of the Wonder Hangers in action. 

    Promising review: "I love this for my walk-in closet and my obsession with shopping. 😅 Everything was perfect. I ordered a pack of six in white and everything was intact. Yes they are made of plastic, but very durable — I have a lot of heavy formal dresses and it's holding them up very well, shockingly!! I'm ordering more. ❤❤❤" —Taylor M.

    Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two colors and sizes).

    Oh, and each stamp will last you up to 12 days!

    Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work, but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

    Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.74 (available in a two-pack).

    18. An electric makeup brush cleaner because cleaning your brushes is super time consuming and every time you have to do it, you'd rather just get all new ones. You've avoided cleaning them waaaay too long, so let this baby do its thing and help you out with your least fave task. Big event and need clean, dry beauty tools? This contraption will wash AND dry 'em so you aren't panicking over still-damp brushes.

    Promising reviews: "I gotta admit, I was skeptical. There are items just like this on the market that are triple the price. My makeup brushes have two years worth of caked-on crap, so I thought, no way this $16 gem would work. WRONG!!! I am actually shocked at how well this thing worked. I did have to go back through and scrub by hand but it’s not this cleaner's fault — two years of left-on makeup is my fault. I cannot believe that my foundation brush is white again like the day I bought it and not just a soft beige from washing it by hand. BUY THIS CONTRAPTION — it’s amazing." —sumnerls

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in two colors).

    19. And an eyeshadow color removal sponge so you can dig into the brighter colors you've been avoiding in your favorite makeup palette. If you stick to neutrals because cleaning your makeup tools is a pain, this'll let you experiment with the pinks, blues, and greens you've always wanted to play with. Pull up that Pinterest makeup board and get to work at recreating your saved bold look, cuz cleaning your brushes has never been easier.

    Check out what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord thinks of this awesome little tool: "I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful) and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"

    Promising review: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in a two-pack).

    21. A microfiber dusting glove that'll have you understanding why microfiber is top tier. You know those days where you're super busy but you walk past something that's super dusty in your house? Slip this on and ease your mind knowing the dust on that surface is long gone without it being too time consuming.

    Promising review: "Do you hate having to dust around things? I know I do. This glove is ideal — you can just wipe away dust while easily maneuvering around odds and ends in your way. Because it’s your own hand inside the glove it’s also easy to maneuver over oddly shaped things like silk plants or blinds. I absolutely recommend this!" —Clever_Collectors

    22. A set of legging-organizing hangers because your legging collection is growing and growing and you currently have a drawer full of balled-up pants.

    23. A Cosrx snail mucin serum to help get rid of dark spots, improve skin vitality, and soothe damaged skin. Yep, snail mucin is a Korean skincare product made from snail slime.

    Alright friends, I am here to confirm that the hype surrounding this stuff is SO real. I've had acne since I was literally 8 years old (don't ask, my cousin was a face painter and practiced on me so I broke out BAD) and I'm JUST now starting to get it together. My skin this past year has completely changed, I have gotten super serious about my skincare routine, and I am now ✨ pimple-free ✨ . Now, I am grateful that my skin has cleared up, but it was still kinda dull, uneven, ya know, the little nitpicky stuff. That is until I cracked and bought this little miracle worker. My skin is now ra-di-anttttt! It's never looked better. My only regret is not taking before and after pics but glass skin, I know her. I haven't gone out in public without makeup since I was like 12 because I was so insecure about my skin. Now, chiiiilld, I go out all the time free of makeup. I also bought this for my cousin for Christmas, she's obsessed, a friend slept over and I let them use this, they're now obsessed, I guarantee you'll fall in love after your first use. 

    Promising review: "This is a great product. It’s not sticky and has no smell. It's my favorite product to use with any other skincare product. Very gentle and helps with acne. Will be a regular in my skincare routine." —C

    24. 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 thing will handle the rest — psh, a breeze. Kinda like an adult Magic Mixie. Reviewers have made everything in this from pork ribs to cheesecake. I'm fully convinced I need one now.

    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

    Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack).

    26. A dual-sided electronics cleaning tool with a soft-bristled brush on one end and a wedged silicone wiper on the other for cleaning your keyboard or phone. Bet you just looked down at your laptop and were kinda grossed out, huh? Go ahead and *add to cart*.

    The silicone wiper is protected by a cap when not in use and the bristles retract for optimal storage.

    Promising review: "I work from home so my laptop has accumulated its fair share of crumbs, dust, and other debris. This was the perfect cleaning tool. The brush side easily sweeps away particles and the rubbery wedge side helps to scrub out gunk between keys. The best part is that it easily fits into the pen holder on my desk." —Andrea G.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.72+ (available in two styles and two colors).

    27. robot window cleaner because you've wanted to clean your windows for months but likeeee when do you have time? Never. Set this on your windows or shower wall and watch this do its thing.

    The Gladwell Gecko Robot Window Cleaner uses AI to clean every bit of your windows — perfect for those taller areas you can't quite reach. It also comes with an app so you can control it from your phone.

    Promising review: "I was more than a bit leery about ordering this, but decided to take a chance. My sunroom faces the lake and has a beautiful view — but only if the windows are clean! Unfortunately, they are high enough off the ground that washing the outside of the windows is a pain! I put Gecko to work on the outside and I cleaned the inside. I saw some streaks and started to get disappointed — until I noticed the streaks were on the INSIDE where I had cleaned! So glad I took a chance!" —Cathy Harmon

    28. 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. Flossing is just another thing for you to do every day and if some days it slips your mind, this toothbrush has your back. It'll get all up in your gum lines and between teeth to break up plaque and get rid of any food and residue. Your dentist will be proud!

    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 review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

    Promising review: "With our schedules, thawing out our meal for that evening often includes placing the frozen block in water to thaw in a reasonable time. Without this item, I was left to put a heavy pot or iron skillet on top to keep it in submerged to speed the thawing process. This device, with its suction base and spread design, keeps the food item under its fingers to allow the thawing process to complete in less than half the time by just putting it in the water. I recommend this item for anyone, but especially anyone who has time constraints for evening dinner prep or any other time for that matter." —mudhen7

    Promising review: "With three weeks of international travel coming up, I purchased these to combat swelling in my feet during the flights. I had noticed swelling after three-hour domestic flights, so I was worried about what almost 30,000 miles would do! I wore these on every leg of the trip and never noticed any swelling — even after the 10–15-hour flights. They are very comfortable, too!" —J. Beaty

    32. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper for my friends who can't dice a vegetable without a potential trip to the hospital (🙋🏽‍♀️). If chopping those veggies seems too time consuming, this will save you sooo much time. Spiral, slice and dice with this super convenient, dishwasher-safe kitchen gadget.

    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 review: "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

    33. A luggage drink caddy because those early morning flights are no joke and your iced coffee is a travel necessity. This'll stick right onto your wheeled luggage and has two pockets that can be used to hold your Starbies or Dunkin' drink, water bottles, snacks, your phone — whatever you need it to hold so you can keep your hands empty. Problem = dodged. 

    Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

    34. An anti-theft roller stamp so you can ink out your personal info on all those Amazon packages you order. At this point, IDK if I'm an anxious mess or if my irrational fears are justified, but I always freak out thinking someone's gonna steal my whole identity when I throw anything out with my name on it. This thing is perfecccct.

    This little gadget comes with three ink refills.

    Promising review: "My shredder broker a while ago and I didn't want to spend a lot of money for another one. I was saving up my personal documents and taking them to my parents' house to shred. I was getting tired of seeing the box of papers in my house then, one night, I was watching some TikTok videos and came across this product. It's a game changer for me. That box of personal documents is gone and I'm a much happier person. This stamp costs a lot less than a shredder, it's super easy to use, comes with ink refills, takes up a lot less space than a shredder, and it gets the job done." —Laura

    35. A "Cup Claw," because 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*. Anyone who wears a bra, let's send lots of kisses to the inventor who thought of this. 🙌  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.
