    24 Things People Swear Are 100% Worth It After Buying Them From Our Posts

    A comfy-cute maxi dress, a useful pet hair picker-upper, a pocketed shower curtain liner, and other products we you told were worth it — and other readers agreed.

    1. A squeegee broom to sweep up every last bit of the cat or dog hair both embedded in your carpet and scattered over your hardwood or tile floor.

    2. A pocketed shower curtain liner, because it lets you move everything off the edges of the tub (making it easy to clean the entire thing in one go) *and* is sturdy and spacious enough to hold several people's stuff with no problems.

    The curtain, with two big pockets on the bottom, three medium pockets in the middle, and four small pockets at the top

    3. A mini white noise machine with non-looping audio so you can finally get the solid night's sleep you deserve, construction and neighbor noises be damned.

    The hexagonal machine, which most adults could hold in one hand

    4. A handheld fabric defuzzer that will eliminate the pills on all sorts of fabrics after just a few leisurely passes so all your sweaters, pillows, sofa cushions, tees, upholstered chairs, fleece, and slippers can look brand new again.

    A reviewer's piece of knit clothing with a bunch of pills on it, then the same piece with all the pills removed and the knit looking and feeling smooth

    5. A tongue scraper — yes it can be gross, but it also can remove any lurking gunk or grime causing you bad breath with a few quick, gentle swipes that won't trigger that gag reflex.

    6. A post-waxing, post-shaving skin solution formulated to reduce the appearance of razor bumps and redness. All you do is apply a very thin layer to your dry skin once a day (then top with gentle moisturizer, if you'd like) and it will work its magic.

    7. A toenail brace kit that will relieve that stabbing pain from your ingrown after just a few days, then continue to flatten it out the rest of the way so you can be well on your way to happier, healthier nails.

    A reviewer's before photo dated 9/12/17, showing a curved toenail, and their after photo dated 11/9/17 (two months later), and their toenail has straightened out

    8. A set of three drill brushes because they'll transform essentially any grimy surface — from cooked-on grease on a stovetop to built-up dirt in a bathtub to the accumulated years of grime on tile and grout — without requiring any elbow grease on your part.

    9. And a rust stain removing—powder cleanser that's powerful enough to make even years worth of built-up minerals vanish in a matter of minutes.

    10. A bottle of gentle but genuinely effective dandruff shampoo to swap into your routine a few times a week, so you can start to restore ~balance~ to your scalp — or potentially even irritated skin elsewhere you haven't found another solution for.

    11. A pair of headrest hooks for your car, because it's nice to have somewhere to put your bag besides the laps of everyone in the backseat.

    The hooks, which clip onto the metal poles under a raised headrest, holding a purse

    12. A pack of hydrocolloid acne patches to suck out a bunch of the gunk lurking in your zits until they basically vanish, or at least have been somewhat diminished.

    13. A tie-dye maxi dress so you can strike that perfect balance between incredibly comfortable and impeccably cute (no one need ever know your secret: that it feels like wearing PJs all. damn. day).

    14. Some monthly washing machine tablets to dissolve and wash away any odor-causing residue so your clothes stop coming out smelling like they're not as clean as they could be.

    15. An exfoliating foot peel — slip on the pair of plastic booties, remove 'em after just one hour, wash all the excess off your feet, then four to seven days later you'll start to shed more layers of dead skin than you realized you even had to begin with.

    16. A collagen and protein–infused hair mask treatment so you can restore some shine and luster to your damaged, over-processed locks, one shower at a time.

    17. An ice cube tray with an attached silicone lid, which creates a seal over the top of the cubes so you can stash them every-which-way in your freezer without a single worry that they'll leak at all. (Plus they're less likely to be infused with whatever other flavors they find themselves sitting next to!)

    18. A bottle of makeup brush and sponge shampoo that will break up all the various layers of stubborn foundation, contour, concealer, powder, and eye makeup that's embedded itself in your tools. Even the ones you use most often will look fresh out of their packaging in no time!

    A reviewer's blending sponge "before", discolored with layers and layers of foundation, then their "after", where the makeup's all washed out and the sponge is orange again

    19. A pack of light-dimming sheets because your alarm clock, boombox, and other electronics have exactly zero business keeping you awake (or even just annoying you) with their overly bright displays.

    20. A mini steamer that will do a *much* better job of turning your crumpled dress into something you'll look presentable in at work than hanging that dress up in the bathroom while you shower ever would.

    21. An insect repellant because it's made with 20% picaridin instead of DEET, which means a) you won't smell terrible (it's unscented) and b) you can worry less about SO many bugs, including mosquitos, ticks, biting flies, stable flies, black flies, gnats, chiggers, and sand flies.

    22. An oil-free hydrating cream designed specifically to help nourish dry skin with the help of vitamin E (which can help protect your skin from pollution) and hyaluronic acid (which gives your skin even more moisture).

    The 1.7 l oz bottle of Pacifica Coconut Probiotic Technology Water Rehab Cream, for all skin types

    23. A space-saving cutlery tray that capitalizes on vertical space to store the same number of forks, spoons, and knives without taking up the entire drawer.

    The tray, taking up just a fraction of the drawer, with three full sections filled with silverware and one section divided in half, but also packed with silverware

    24. A set of three disposable drain decloggers, which extract every last bit of hair and whatever other mysteriously gross gunk lurks below the surface, clogging up your tub and sink drains.

    You, enjoying all these products that actually do exactly what they say they will:
