    45 Products To Handle The Slightly Embarrassing Problems You're Currently Googling

    Avoid the awkward eye contact with a cashier and buy your period underwear online.

    1. A teeth-whitening pen if you avoid smiling with your teeth so folks don't see your yellowing teeth. This brightens without the irritation of whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

    2. A set of kegel weights to not only help with incontinence but also potentially make sex easier, less painful, and more enjoyable. These are especially great for people who've just given birth, though anyone can benefit from strengthening their pelvic floor muscles.

    3. A foot file so you can consider a second career as a foot model. Rub gently and watch the dead skin and calluses fall like shredded cheese to reveal baby soft heels.

    4. A pack of AirPod cleaners because the last time you offered an earbud to your friend so they could listen along, they audibly gasped in horror. Squish the flexible square into your AirPod speaker, peel it off, and get rid of the ear goop that's been dulling the sound quality...and disgusting your friends.

    5. A pair of super absorbent period underwear for handling your business without leaving you feeling like you're wearing a wet diaper.

    6. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover that'll help you wipe away soap scum and residue in your shower so your friends don't know your apartment is usually a pig sty. It's biodegradable so the scent won't singe your nose hairs and make you gag, plus it's safe enough to use on just about anything — including shower glass, tile, granite, stainless-steel, marble, brass, and porcelain.

    7. A Tushy bidet attachment if you're guilty of not wiping well. Not only will it help you use less TP, but it also just leaves you feeling cleaner after you go.

    8. And don't forget a before-you-go toilet spray to hide any evidence. Even if you're one of those weirdly confident people who can poop in a house full of people without issue, having this in your bathroom for others can calm nervous pooers.

    9. A tonsil stone remover so you can *finally* treat the root cause of your bad breath. This tool has a built-in LED light so you can easily locate the tonsil stone. Plus it also comes with a syringe to help you wash out the pocket the tonsil stone left behind.

    10. A jetted tub cleaner, because who knows when the last time you cleaned it was. (I hate to break it to you, but you're probably chillaxing in dirty water.) This cleanser is made to flush out soap scum, body oils, and those black flakes that gunk up your tub's jets.

    11. A soil-free AeroGarden Harvest for gardeners who are embarrassingly bad at keeping their plants alive. Good thing this hydroponic system alerts you when it's time to water and feed your plants.

    12. A pack of Schick dermaplaning razors that'll evict any unwanted stray hairs and help you conquer your PTSD from accidentally shaving off half your eyebrow in middle school thanks to its precision cover. These itty bitty razors are great for stashing in your purse for touch-ups on the go.

    13. A bottle of Drop It — a sulfite and tannin remover — if you're known in your friend group as the one person who can't hang. This may help prevent your post-wine headache so you can still enjoy the night with your friends instead of having to leave after one drink to curl up under the covers to soothe your throbbing head.

    14. A tube of antiperspirant hand cream to dry your hands if you suffer from hyperhidrosis (excess sweating), or if you're just nervous!

    15. A box of wart-removing pads that you apply like bandages so you can be rid of your extra growth. Be gone, appendage!

    16. An odor-eliminating spray because your houseguest is too polite to tell you but they think your living room smells like cat pee. This'll lift stains and odors fast, and each spray releases bacteria that feeds on the ammonia left behind after your pet's accidents, eliminating the urine completely and deterring your pet from peeing in the same spot again.

    The spray

    17. An acne patch for those days when a pimple pops up at the *worst* possible moment. Hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and calendula oil are gentle on the skin while still drawing out fluids and pus from your pimple.

    18. A grout paint pen that'll cover up the mortifyingly large amount of dirt and grime that has fallen into the cracks. It works like a regular marker, so even the people who failed art can use it. And it beats actually having to clean! 🙃

    19. A TubShroom if your relaxing showers have turned into you standing in a puddle of water for 15 minutes because the drain is clogged...again. This little guy snags the hair you shed before it can collect in the pipes.

    20. A Home Chef subscription to put a stop to the sad bowls of ramen or aimlessly walking down aisles at the grocery store waiting for dinner inspiration to hit! You'll get Instagram-worthy meals that are as affordable as they are delicious and all the ingredients you need shipped straight to your door.

    21. A bra liner so you, a sweaty person, can step outside without the dreaded under-boob sweat. I don't care the season; I. Will. Still. Sweat.

    22. A Squatty Potty, because a bout of constipation shouldn't leave you down in the ~dumps~. Squatting changes the angle of your anal canal, opening it up so it's easier for things to exit.

    23. A bottle of dentist-approved mouthwash for beating swamp breath, whether it's caused by a medical issue or because you just drank coffee and orange juice. This one's made sans alcohol so it won't burn when you swish it around your mouth.

    The mouthwash

    24. A cuticle oil that'll restore your shredded nails after a gel mani. A combination of sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba softens the cuticle and strengthens your claws so you'll be proud to show them off.

    25. A denture cleaner if your retainer is coated in some weird white film. These fizzing tablets will blast away odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque from your Invisalign, retainers, dentures, night guards, and more.

    26. A vegan exfoliating body scrub to slough away the rough bumps on the back of your arms and legs (keratosis pilaris is its name but you may have heard it called "strawberry skin" or "chicken skin") with a combination of powerful alpha-hydroxy acids.

    27. Some foaming toilet tablets so your crapper stays sanitized and smelling fresh without you ever having to break a sweat — because no! Your toilet should not smell bad all the time.

    Blueland

    Blueland is an Asian-owned business. You might recognize them from Shark Tank!

    Promising review: "I love love LOVE how easy these are to use. Plop it in, wait a few, and swish the brush then flush. Plus they smell great!" —Alyson D.

    Get 14 tablets from Blueland for $18 (available in larger quantities; try out the Toilet Cleaner Starter Set and get 14 tablets plus a reusable storage tin).

    28. Some stain-removing tablets for lifting spills, set-in stains, and all the other mess you've made. Toss one in with a regular load and your whites will emerge dramatically whiter.

    The Fizz Whizz / Etsy

    The Fizz Whiz is a small business based in Brandon, Florida.

    Promising review: "Washed my clothes and they came out very clean. I put my sneakers in the wash and they were very gross. They came out so clean that they almost looked new. Will buy again, and recommend." —Daniel Law

    Get 50 tablets from The Fizz Whiz on Etsy for $16.

    29. A nail repair pen because your discolored, dry, brittle fingernails and toenails aren't ready for manis and pedis just yet.

    Before and after of reviewer's toenail showing the pen got rid of their toenail fungus

    30. An aluminum-free deodorant that'll help save the day when "down there" doesn't smell so fresh. Obviously you should talk to your doc if your private parts smell funky, but this is an option if they've cleared you of any health conditions and you're still put off by any odors.

    Promising review: "This stuff truly is amazing! It didn’t smell like I expected it to when I opened it up, especially considering I ordered coconut, but that doesn’t really matter. I’m plus sized so i got it to help with the sweat under my breasts, and the crease at the top of my thighs. You know how you get that kinda musty smell when you’ve been sweating in certain parts of your body? This stuff puts a stop to it!! Once you put it on, the scent dissipates and it doesn’t smell like anything at all. I can put it on in the morning and it’s still working when I shower at night. So if you’ve been thinking about trying this, do it!" —Amanda B

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven scents).

    31. An earwax removal kit if it's a little embarrassing how much $$$ you've spent at the doctors getting your ears rinsed out when you could've tried this first. Good thing you don't need your ears to read the 21,000+ 5-star reviews this product has garnered.

    32. A powerful glycolic acid peel to help improve pitted texture, reduce fine lines, and soften skin. Glycolic acid helps sort of unglue skin cells, so the softer, brighter layer underneath can emerge. But it can be a bit irritating to your skin so start slowly — especially because this peel also contains retinol, a collagen-boosting ingredient that can make your skin more sensitive.

    33. A natural shoe deodorizer spray so you don't have to wash your feet the minute you get home to get rid of the funk from your work flats. It's made with essential oils and smells like lemon and eucalyptus so you'll probably want to spray it around the rest of your house, too.

    The spray

    34. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream because you're tired of your mom constantly asking you, "Are you getting enough sleep?" on your weekly FaceTime even though she should darn well know that your dark circles are hereditary (thnx a lot Mom!).

    35. An antifungal tea tree balm for treating basically any somewhat embarrassing skin condition you can think of: athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and even just dry skin.

    36. A pack of clinical-strength antiperspirant wipes that'll protect you from excessive sweating for up to seven — SEVEN! — days.

    Promising review: "Cannot recommend enough!!! If you suffer from excessive sweat like I do, this stuff is a lifesaver!! I've always had a problem with underarm sweat and I've tried every kind of antiperspirant available and nothing worked. I finally saw this on BuzzFeed and decided to give it a try. I can't believe I've suffered this long without this product. I showered at night, dabbed the wipe on, took another shower in the morning and it's been almost three days now and almost no sweat! It did itch a little but nothing unbearable and I can deal with that for the pay off!!!" —Kathy

    Get 10 wipes from Amazon for $19.99.

    37. A bottle of Burt's Bees dander-reducing spray if you want your cat's coat soft, shiny, and free of dander and flakes. It's made with aloe vera and oatmeal to condition dry skin and reduce redness.

    Reviewer's before and after showing the spray dramatically reduced their cat's dander

    38. A stainless-steel tongue scraper to banish bad bacteria your toothbrush can't lift. It should help improve stinky breath so you won't suffer the embarrassment of someone offering you a breath mint.

    39. A bottle of dandruff shampoo so you can banish white flakes from your scalp. It's made with ketoconazole 1%, an antifungal ingredient that'll tell your dandruff it's no longer welcome here.

    40. A soothing mist because it'll make your skin ~smooth like butter~. Seriously — it's in the name. It's especially great for folks with sensitive, red, eczema-prone skin thanks to calming and soothing ingredients like centella asiatica (which we've covered) and allantoin. And lactic acid helps unglue the dead skin cells to reveal glowy skin underneath.

    41. A pumice cleaning stone for powering through tough rust, lime, and calcium streaks you have to explain to your S.O. are not poop stains — you swear! Give your tired arms a break and let this little guy scrub away discoloration with ease. This non-toxic cleaner is tough on dirt but gentle on porcelain so you can sit atop the listening throne you deserve.

    42. A collagen-coating hair treatment that'll revitalize a dry, damaged, and overprocessed mane overnight, and is safe for all hair types!

    43. A pet hair roller if you love your fur babies but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

    44. A pack of DressWeights to hold down your dress so you don't need to waddle like a penguin until the breeze dies down.

    45. An eyeliner stamp so no one learns you were today years old when you learned how to finally draw even wings.
