    23 Things That You’ll Most Likely Rather Purchase Online Than In-Store

    Because some things feel a little TMI for the public eye.

    1. A bottle of Just A Drop if you have difficulty doing your business in any bathroom other than your own. Just squeeze some of the eucalyptus-scented drops into the toilet before sitting down, and no one will suspect a thing afterwards.

    2. An antiperspirant lotion that'll help reduce sweating in your hands and feet. Reviewers love using it to help prevent clammy hands (and say it works better than Botox).

    3. A pack of metal tongue scrapers that'll help eliminate any bacteria that might be causing bad breath. Since they're made of stainless steel, they'll be easy to clean after, too.

    4. A nose hair waxing kit that'll rid your nostrils of pesky hairs, so you won't have to fear them peeking out. Reviewers say it's surprisingly painless and just feels like a lil' bit of pressure, which is good news for anyone sensitive to ouchies.

    5. An earwax removal kit that’ll help clear out any gunky build-up that might be causing irritation in your ears. Reviewers love that it doesn't hurt and actually helps them avoid trips to the doctor's office, too.

    6. A hair removal cream that's safe for sensitive body parts, thanks to its gentle formula. If you're sick of razor bumps from shaving and have a low pain tolerance for waxing, this will be your saviour.

    7. A pack of period panties that might look a little less appealing than your usual pairs, but they'll sure as heck prevent any unwanted leaks. Reviewers say they provide extra protection on heavier flow days and feel just like regular underwear.

    8. Or a pack of absorbent briefs that'll protect against *any* leaks. Reviewers say they're perfect for their postpartum needs, too.

    9. A moisturizing butt sheet mask that'll hydrate your skin so it'll quite literally be as soft as a baby's bum. Reviewers say there's no harsh scent and that it helps with breakouts, too.

    10. A set of kegel weights that'll help strengthen things down there to prevent postpartum prolapse. It'll also help improve bladder control, and reviewers say they no longer leak when laughing too hard (we love that for them).

    11. A plunger and bowl brush set that'll keep your toilet essentials in one spot and save you some space, too. They both have ergonomic handles that'll make it more comfortable to plunge and clean your porcelain throne.

    12. A cold sore ointment that'll help soothe your symptoms. It'll also speed up the healing process, so you can get rid of 'em fast.

    13. A tube of heel balm that'll help fix up your painfully cracked feet if they're starting to resemble sandpaper and keep catching on your sheets. Reviewers say it even softened their calluses and love that it's not greasy, either.

    14. A pack of Sani Sticks that'll keep your pipes free of clogs and backups. Reviewers say they're safe for septic systems and work on every sink in the house.

    15. A topical Canesten anti-fungal cream that'll relieve any uncomfortable itching and burning on your body. It'll help cure athlete's foot and reviewers say it cleared up their ringworm, too.

    16. A tube of Preparation H hemorrhoid cream that'll shrink swollen tissue and relieve itching and irritation. Reviewers say it reduced their symptoms within a matter of hours.

    17. A bottle of Compound W wart remover that'll treat common and plantar warts without any stinging or discomfort. The brush applicator will make it easy to apply the product without your fingers coming in contact with the wart (don't wanna spread that!).

    18. A First Response pregnancy test if it just feels a little too personal or intimate to buy in public.

    19. A pack of toilet bowl tablets that'll get rid of tough rust and keep it at bay for up to 45 days. All you'll have to do is drop one in your toilet bowl and tank, and it'll do the hard work for you.

    20. A lice remover kit with a shampoo, comb, and magnifying pick that'll help you get rid of all the bugs and their remnants from your hair.

    21. A pack of nail repair pens that'll help you painlessly remove fungus from your fingernails and toenails and protect your claws in the process. They'll also hydrate your damaged talons and help them get back to a healthy state — plus, reviewers love how easy they are to use!

    22. A pack of Imodium tablets that'll give you quick relief from gas, cramps, bloating, and diarrhea without needing a prescription. They'll be an absolute godsend on vacation or in any other situation where an upset stomach is not ideal.

    23. And lastly, a strong anti-dandruff shampoo that'll relieve you of your flaky skin and horribly itchy scalp. Since it's anti-fungal, reviewers also use it to treat tinea versicolor and dermatitis.
