All you have to do to "set" it is soak the bear in water for 20 minutes, dry the outside of it, and plop it in with your brown sugar. It also works on baked goods, cakes, cookies, marshmallows, and dried fruit!
Promising review: "Had a large amount of brown sugar and couldn't keep it soft even in a tight container. I purchased new 5-quart jars for my flour, sugar and so forth and quickly realized my brown sugar was a ROCK! I purchased this, soaked it and placed it in the sugar as instructed. Within hours it was soft again which was amazing to me! I have about two pounds of sugar in the 5-quart jar currently. The jar is sealed gasket but I haven't had to resoak the bear yet (only a month in use currently). Would recommend to anyone at this point, just mad I have wasted so much brown sugar over the years." —diosa

Promising review: "Don't get me wrong — my wedding ring was gorgeous before. It did sparkle and still made me smile every day. However...after using this..*oh my goodness*! My ring is absolutely breathtaking! I knew my ring got dirty, simply from sweating and being outside in the elements. However, I never realized just how much dinge and schmutz marred my beautiful diamond until I cleaned it. It literally took my breath away with its fiery, dazzling brilliance! My wedding ring is something that always makes my heart beat a little faster: for its beauty, for what it represents...and now, my smile is even bigger and my heart skips a beat a little more as I gaze upon this amazing clarity. It is an amazing value with mind-blowing, beautiful results!" —liltreeclimber

Reviewers say they blend in with their skin so they can wear them throughout the day!
Promising review: "I’ve been experimenting with these for the last month and a half, and I am in love. They are really thin and blend into my highly freckled face incredibly well...I have gone out in public twice with them on, because when I did my last second mirror check before I got out of the car, I didn’t notice I had them on! While they absolutely help clean out the skin underneath, the biggest thing it does for me is stops me from touching my face. When I'm stressed out, I will absentmindedly touch/run my hands along my face and jaw constantly. Now, when I notice I’m doing that, I run into the bathroom and put these on any spots I have. Since they are thin and stick really well, I am able to leave them alone and stop touching my face." —MelsBells

Promising reviews: "Works extremely well. We haven't done any cleaning on our dishwasher in five years, and there was detergent build-up all over the inside, and a milky film on all our cups. I bought Affresh, ran the dishwasher with two tablets while it was empty, and the difference was astounding. There was still some build-up and I figured it would require another cycle, so I popped another two tablets in, and now it looks and sounds brand new. No more film on the glasses, no more dirty dishes from clogged sprayers, no more odors, or buildup around the door seals." —Martoune

Promising review: "I gotta say this is the best sharpener I ever bought in my whole life. I got it today and brought it to work. I work at a Japanese restaurant as a sushi chef and I sharpened it at work and wow my knife was, like, sharp like a samurai sword! Even my coworkers were surprised and asked me to order one for them. It was so sharp that I barely touched the knife and my pinky fingers got cut and I had to be sent home from work. Thanks for the product! Now I don't have to use the stone or sharpen rod that much anymore." —Are

Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I ordered this posture corrector because I slouch too much, and when I try to stand up straight I feel like I overcompensate and it gets tiring. The reason I like this product is that when I have it on, it doesn't restrict my movements like a brace with a plate might; I don't feel like I'm having to put effort into standing straight so I'm not getting fatigued even after wearing it for a full 8-hour day. I'm really pleased with my purchase; it's well designed and easy to use, and I think will eventually fix my bad posture." —mdantes

Promising review: "I wasn't impressed at first. This doesn't take the place of cleaning the bowl manually, but it does cut down on how often you need to clean your bowl. I had old stains from the previous tenants inside my bowl, but after about four weeks the stains have disappeared. Love this product!" —Dorine Buse

Promising review: "These are the best supplements for your plants. [My] plant was dying and had lost most of its leaves. I didn't want to re-pot it because the plant had already grown. But I didn't want it to die either. Buying the miracle grow indoor plant feeder sticks was a last ditch effort to save this guy and it worked! The fertilizer sticks are easy to use, you just push them into the soil and water. Your plants will flourish once you start feeding them these little guys. I highly recommend this product for happy healthy plants and for plant owners that don't want to re-pot!" —Crystal

Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr

It works on stains from grass, berries, blood, sweat, oil, tomato sauce, watermelon, red wine, mud, cosmetics, pet accidents, and more. Wanna know more on why we love it? Check out our Puracy Natural Stain Remover review!
Promising review: "This stuff is straight magical. It has gotten out tattoo ink, wine, blood, marinara, whiskey, coffee, and other liquids and foods from white and cream colored clothes. I have used it on those weird spots that show up on your clothes when you don’t let the water run before you add the soap and then clothes. Gone like they never happened. This stuff works on pet accidents, child activities, and other spill-able enterprises. It’s also all natural. I keep a small spray bottle of it in my purse. It has come in very handy for not only myself. Whoever invented this, you have my deepest thanks." —Catie

Promising review: "These brushes are freaking fantastic. I tried them on a portion of my shower and bathroom floor tiles and grout. I immediately had to do the rest because it made the cleaner sections look dirty. I also tried it on the side of my fridge that is next to my stove top. It did a pretty good job there as well at removing grease and stains. The only downside is that it made me enjoy cleaning!" —Eric T. Ma

Promising review: "Talked to my vet about this kind of product. She was pretty informative. This stuff isn't a miracle, but it's helpful between cleanings and she said it was worth using as long as the dogs get regular brushing and professional checkups too. So, it's a good thing as part of regular care." —Keith M. Hamm

Promising review: "I have BAD feet. Like genetically bad. I have tried EVERYTHING. I’ve spent an excessive amount of money on foot masks, foot scrubs, pedicures, pumice stones, foot files, etc. Nothing worked. This fixed my feet in five minutes. I was actually in shock. I haven’t had 'soft' feet in years. I literally feel like I have new feet. Best $10 I ever spent." —Hdb

Promising review: "This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often and always get grossed out if I don’t. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! The first photo (above) is with my tub running with the solution. Then I drained it (second photo) and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up, and reran the jets, I kid you not the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! See for yourself in the last photo! I’m so impressed!" —Chelsea

Promising review: "My cat likes nothing. He doesn't go into paper bags, ignores boxes, isn't curious about the birds. Mostly he eats and sleeps and allows us to pet him. But he LOVES this! I took someone's tip to stick it on the corner of a cabinet with looped duct tape. Seems to be holding fine, even though Igor rubs himself senseless on this thing. Also the catnip that came with it must be killer stuff. He really goes for it. So Igor gives it a big five stars!" —AmazonCustomer

Promising review: "The degreaser I have been looking for! This stuff is magic in a bottle. Not making this up at all. If you have nasty buildup in your kitchen, you HAVE to get this. My stove looks brand new. All you do is spray it, let it sit for a little bit, then wipe away. Best cleaning solution yet. I’m going to try their other products." —Alexis Briana Lindsey

Promising review: "Whenever I pull a shirt or pants from my closet that has some wrinkles, I lay it on my bed and spray the material wherever the wrinkles are followed by a sweeping of the material to smooth it out and reduce/remove the wrinkles. Turn and complete on the other side. I then hang it up to dry for a few minutes. I will say that if you have embedded wrinkles or a very thick/rough type fabric, it may not work and you'll need to iron. I find this a convenient item to have as most my shirts are on the thinner side." —Meatballs Mommy

Promising review: "My boyfriend and I were losing the battle to our pillow top mattress that seemed to keep pulling out fitting sheet out from underneath the mattress.

This formula is nontoxic and paraben-free.
Promising review: "I didn't think I would like this, but it works! I was shocked. My husband has very regular BMs and that usually means that the rest of us have to avoid that part of the house for at least a little while. I got this for his birthday as a gag gift, but we tried it and it works amazingly well! The only downside is that I'm starting to associate the pleasant citrus scent with poop as well. It is not a subtle coverup, as anyone who walks by the bathroom will smell a great outpouring of citrus, but it's better than the alternative! Overall, I definitely recommend this product to anyone who poops." —steel_muffins

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Remember those cars that scooted around after you pulled them back to wind 'em up? This device is kind of like that. After you fill it with garlic, simply roll it around to chop up the garlic. It saves time and fingers.
Promising review: "This is my holy grail of kitchen gadgets. Little doodad has been a life saver for me. I have major wrist issues and use garlic in almost all of my recipes. This thing chops garlic like there is no tomorrow! In like 10 seconds I can have four cloves of garlic chopped up. But wait! There’s more!! I have used this to chop ginger, jalapeños (it is excellent for this btw!!) and anything else I need to cut very fine (like onions). It is super easy to empty, take apart, and clean. I literally only rinse it out and set it out to dry. I don’t really 'wash' the inside as there aren’t any germs there. I don’t know how I ever went without this in my life. I’ll probably be buying many more of these as gifts around Christmas time to share in the love." —Crystal Keck

Promising review: "I am that girl who wakes up in the morning with a HUGE knot in the back of my head! I DREAD getting out of the shower, with a wide tooth comb and painfully brushing out my hair. It takes about 15–20 minutes! With this new brush, at first I couldn't believe it was actually brushing my hair (no pain) by the end of a few minutes, ALL of my knots were gone and my hair felt silky and smooth! WOW! Thank you Wetbrush!" —Chrissy

You can use this daily or weekly depending on how you feel about its abrasiveness.
Promising review: "This is a holy grail to my sensitive skin and germaphobic personality! It does take time to get used to due to its rough feel, but once you start to use it daily, it's hard to use anything else! Nothing else gives me such a clean feeling on my skin during my showers. I use to have very bad skin conditions all over my body: eczema, body acne, dry patches, and dark spots. This helped clear basically everything, and now I'm more confident in showing my skin in public than I have ever been. It soaks up very nicely, and you can feel all of the dirt that's on your skin from day-to-day activities getting scrubbed off. The long length is great for reaching in hard to reach spots, such as your back. Since it's extremely rough, I would advise against using it on your face." —Jay G.
