    These 42 Popular Problem-Solving Products Prove That Hopping On The Bandwagon Isn’t Always A Bad Thing

    From viral skincare products to reviewer beloved gadgets, these products are tried and true by *numerous* customers — I mean, they're popular for a reason.

    1. A boot and shoe spray to stretch your shoes that are just a little too tight to fit just like Cinderella's glass slipper. It works on all types of leather as well as suede and canvas. Just spray it all over your shoes, wear a thick pair of socks, and walk around until they dry.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!! 

    The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up. 

    After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Doc Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!"

    2. MakeUp Eraser that removes ALL makeup (yes, even waterproof makeup) with just water. WATER. The other side exfoliates your face, and afterward you can just toss it into the laundry with everything else.

    When I found out about The MakeUp Eraser I immediately bought it and I wish I did sooner! I stopped using single-use makeup wipes and I've saved sooo much money. It feels so soft on my skin and all it takes is a few swipes to remove everything. I can use it a few times before washing it and if I don't have a load of laundry to do, I just wash the towel with face wash and everything comes right out!

    Promising review: "If it works on a drag queen, it'll work for you. I'm a drag queen with pretty sensitive skin. I CAKE on the cosmetics to create my illusions, and the cold cream and terrycloth removal method was just not working. My skin would be raw, and I'd have to go through three cloths just to get 90% of my face off, and still have to go to bed with some eyeliner on. Cue MakeupEraser. This little puppy made me go from woman back to man in less than two minutes with JUST WATER. I have on full coverage stage foundation, enough powder to choke a horse, 24 hour wear lipstick, and tons of black eyeshadow with glitter. Buy it! It's awesome." —Luke

    3. A car vacuum cleaner to clean all the dirt and leaves your shoes dragged in. It has a flathead nose extension for those hard-to-reach areas, an extension tube for narrow crevices, and even a brush head for carpets and upholstery. Say hello to your shiny, new-looking car!

    Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. The cord attaches to the 12v aux outlet.

    Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. Two kids + snacks in a mini van = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up Goldfish crumbs a breeze." —Anaiz Mendez

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 

    4. A Bluetooth wireless transmitter so the next time you're on a plane, you don't have to pay for a pair of wired headphones if you only have AirPods or other wireless headphones. Just connect your listening device to the transmitter and insert it into any audio jack!

    Promising review: "This was such a gem to find. It connected quickly and seamlessly to my headphones. I’ve only used it on one flight, but that’s all I need to give you a MUST BUY recommendation. This allows people to use their Bluetooth headphones with onboard flight entertainment that is not connected to their phone. Great find and worth the money!" —Savannah

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99

    5. A pack of Mighty Patches to tackle those pesky pimples *white*head on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which helps speed up the healing process. Plus it hides pimples and prevents from you from picking at them! It works so well you'll forget that there was even a pimple there.

    Promising review: "I purchased these for my son, who suffers from cystic acne. He puts them on the pimples at night and in the morning the pimples are dramatically reduced in size and his skin is 'flat' in his words. I highly recommend these to anyone who suffers from any type of acne. They were recommended by another mom on my son's basketball team. Her son was using them and I am so thankful that she shared how great the Mighty Patches are!" —Slade Salisbury

    Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $10.77.

    6. A Squatty Potty so when you have to ~go~, you can do it effortlessly. Our bodies were designed to poop in a squatting position so when you place your feet on the stool, it helps realign you and allows your #2 to release naturally.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I was skeptical when I first heard about the Squatty Potty. After all, I have been pooping just fine for decades. But when a co-worker gave a glowing review of them, I decided to try one. From the first moment that I sat down, I knew it was going to be a good experience. It's just a more natural way to poop. Not only did my business take about half the time to complete, it was a more thorough job. I recommend this product 100%." —LL

    Get it from Amazon for $20.33+ (available in two heights).

    7. A nail-strengthening cream to help renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, the calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong.

made their nails so much longer and stronger

    Promising review: "About a month and a half of use has really transformed my nails! I’ve been using this three to four times a day (as well as the occasional gel manicure and some strengthening polish, no different from my prior routine). My nails have never been this long and strong — even when I picked off gel polish (bad, I know!). I really like the scent (slightly coconut-y) and a little goes a long way. I’m not even halfway through the tub and I basically dip the tips of my nails in and massage the balm into my nail beds. Definitely worth the money." —Madison

    Get it from Amazon for $7.94.

    8. Bottle Bright tablets because shoving your hand inside a coffee tumbler to clean it just won't do the job. Just plop a tablet in, let it dissolve, and there you have it, a ✨sparkly✨ clean bottle.

    Promising review: "I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, everything, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought another HydroFlask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. 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." —Amazon Customer

    9. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer that has medium coverage and lasts for up to 12 hours — on top of that, it uses Haloxyl and goji berries to target dark circles and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It's perfect for when you "accidentally" stayed up until 6 a.m. watching Succession but you can't have your boss knowing.

    Promising review: "I'm a snob when it comes to makeup, and I usually avoid drugstore makeup because of my sensitive skin. However, I find most prestige-brand concealers to be really heavy and dry, so I decided to trust the reviews on this product and try it out. And all I can say is it's amazing! Great coverage that I can sheer out when I need, or build up when I want more coverage. The applicator allows me to spot conceal any blemishes and looks natural. And best of all, no heavy feeling and no caking/creasing even with all-day wear. Now my makeup routine is just this concealer and a MAC setting powder! Highly recommend, now my mom, sister, and I all swear by it, and are saving a lot of money as well!" —Sami Ramesh

    Get it from Amazon for $8.70 (available in 18 shades).

    10. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals for all the plant parents out there struggling to maintain their babies. The crystals swell to absorb water and release it at a later time to prevent overwatering. It also can protect your plants from extreme temperatures both indoors and outdoors.

    Mix the crystals in with your regular potting soil, and they'll absorb water and release it when your plant is thirsty.

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $12.23+ (available in packs of one or two).

    11. A bottle of Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant that activates with water to release papain enzymes and salicylic acid to help reduce fine lines, fight acne, shrink pores, and brighten your complexion. The colloidal oatmeal in this formula calms skin and reduces the appearance of redness and irritation — um, YES PLEASE.

    Promising review: "Great product with outstanding results. I love this product. It is really effective and easy to use, as I noticed my skin is cleaner and very fresh after using it. Having never heard of the brand, I was curious about ground rice as an exfoliant. To my surprise, I saw results after daily use within a couple of weeks. My complexion brightened in tone and some dark patches slowly began to fade." —edujapa70

    Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $18+ (available in mini or regular size). 

    12. Or a bottle of Paula's Choice Exfoliant to get to the root of the problem and deep dive into pores to remove oil, dirt, and debris with its 2% BHA formula. So many reviewers have raved about it also clearing acne and reducing breakouts. It can also remove dead skin, shrink and unclog large pores, and smooth the appearance of wrinkles. Talk about benefits on top of benefits!

    In addition to receiving a 4.5-star rating, this exfoliant is under $15 and also a top skincare pick on TikTok

    Promising review: "I had seen several reviews on TikTok about this product and I decided to try it for myself and see how good it was as they said. I had pores and pimples around my cheeks, I've tried different products but none worked as good as this one. Every night before going to bed, I apply it to my face along with a moisturizer. And wow, I am not kidding, the next day you can already see how the redness is fading away and any recent pimples start to get smaller, as well as my pores on my cheek area! I had not seen a difference that fast with other popular products, but this one did. I highly recommend, it really does improves your skin and it looks more healthy and glowing. In my opinion 10/10 :)" —Mariel Garza

    Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in three sizes).

    13. A Tile Mate so when you're about to leave for work and you've just been searching and searching for your keys, you can just tap into the app on your phone and ring the Tile to hear its little jingle. You can attach it to basically anything and track its last known location with both iOS and Android devices!

    The Bluetooth connection works up to 250 feet and if you're further than that, no worries! You can check the app to see the last know location. Or, if you happen to lose your phone, you can double-tap the Tile to find it! If you want to keep track of your wallet and can't connect a keychain to it, check out the Tile Slim.

    Promising review: "Buy it. Just buy it. Have you ever been late and unorganized and you have everything but your keys? This little sucker can be activated thru your phone and the keys sing a little song. You ever lose your phone but know where your keys are? You can use this to find your phone as well. I use it more to find my phone than my keys." —Manda Moore

    Get it from Amazon for $19.73+ (available in two colors and two- and three- packs).

    14. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets because even though this savior of a machine cleans your bowls, plates, and pretty much everything, it doesn't clean itself. Pamper your dishwasher with one tablet to remove limescale and mineral buildup, pump and valve, hose, and tub — think of it as a thank you for all the hard work it has done for you.

    The same dishwasher, which is now stain-free after using the tablets

    Promising review: "I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scale and nothing we tried came close to helping. After using the tablets three times our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine china and everything else looks fabulous. Highly recommend, worth every penny, best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses. Buy this, you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" —Jenny

    Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.95.

    15. A pack of soft flossing toothbrushes that clean those hard-to-reach areas that most toothbrushes don't. The bristles are extra long and are as thin as a strand of human hair which makes it easy to reach in between teeth, under the gum line, and especially in crevices where cavities form. Plus, the brush is so soft — perfect for people with sensitive gums!

    Mouthwatchers is a small business founded by dentist Dr. Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes that are designed to allow people to get a deeper clean in areas that traditional brushes and even floss may miss. 

    Promising review: "I take very good care of my not-so-great teeth (weak enamel, lots of restoration work). I bought this based on an online review. Have been using a big name electric for years, but this feels like is really gets below the gum line and sweeps out the gunk. My gums feel healthier, and I’m very pleased with this inexpensive product; we’ll see what my dentist says in about a month." —Mel

    Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in four colors and four-pack).

    16. A slim pill organizer so you can bring your medication with you on-the-go. Even if you forget to take your meds at home, you'll always have some on you. It comes with six compartments so you can carry pills for every emergency in here. Runny nose? Upset stomach? Headache? Have no fear, your meds are here! 

    It comes with a small pick to help you open each compartment. 

    Promising review: "This thing is my new best friend. Move aside Caitlyn, our 8 years of friendship have been great, but this pill organizer has replaced you. It goes everywhere with me. My body is what I like to call a “needy b****," so EVERY SINGLE ONE of these compartments has something I need in it. Extra antidepressants, daily multivitamins, so much lactaid, gluten enzymes, and four different types of painkillers (I just counted). This is way better than the suspicious-looking drug bags I had to use before ordering this. Basically, 100/10, buy this thing, it’s fantastic." —Sophia B.Y.

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in four colors). 

    17. A pair of Nippies, reusable pasties that *actually* stay on. They provide complete and seamless coverage so nothing shows when you want to wear your favorite see-through shirt or backless dress!

    photo showing the nippies are washable and reusable

    Promising review: "I cannot tell you how much I LOVE these things. I had been using a cheaper pair of pasties, and these are a world apart from those. They cover everything really well and are super comfortable. I literally forget that they are on. I have worn them under really thin white shirts, and you can’t see anything! I LOVE THESE SO MUCH. So much that I just bought another pair so that I’ll never be without." —Sara Reiland

    Get them from Amazon for $22+ (available in five colors and two sizes).

    18. And a scrub-free weekly shower cleaner so you can save your arms from an unwarranted workout session. It requires no elbow grease — just spray your shower once a week, wait 8 to 12 hours, and then rinse with warm water. Say bye-bye to scum- (plus grime-, oil-, and mold-) filled showers, and hello to your shiny new tiles.

    Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98.

    19. A spray bottle of SoCozy Curl Spray Leave-In Conditioner that's made for children but loved by *all* ages. Formulated with olive oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin B5, this spray will maintain bouncy curls and prevent frizziness! 

    This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2a–4c curls swearing by it! 

    Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bed head that looked like this! Now it is gorgeous, soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    20. garbage disposal cleaner because even though you can't see your week-old pasta doesn't mean that it's not still down there. Toss it in the sink and let the water run so you can become your own plumber. Once you see the bath bomb–like blue fizz, the job is done and your sink is free from the backed-up gunk.

    Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.

    21. Bissell Little Green machine that looks like Mike Wazowski but is no monster — it'll be your bestie. This compact cleaner uses warm water and a specialized liquid cleaner to remove all ~oopsies~ from mud, food, pets, you name it. Reviewers love this product so much that they said they can't live without it.

    Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99

    Promising review: "I bought this because I have a cat with a sensitive stomach and, in a house with almost all hardwood flooring, he chooses to only throw up in the room with all WHITE carpeting. The carpet had so many stains from futile clean-up attempts, I thought it was ruined. However I bought this steam cleaner, gave it a try, and the carpet looks brand new!! It was almost fun cleaning up the stains and watching them disappear in seconds. Steamer is super easy to use, very portable, and stores away nicely in my laundry cabinet. Absolutely recommend to anyone ready to give up on their stained carpet." —Carlos 

    Get it from Amazon for $123.59.  

    22. A bottle of Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence to soothe irritated skin and help prevent breakouts with its glycolic acid, allantoin, and of course, snail mucin formula.  Plus, it revives dehydrated skin and helps reduce dullness. It's a cult favorite for a reason — it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin! 

    Promising review: "This is holy grail for me! It's unscented, which I love, and goes on so smooth. I'm a little backwards with my application, being that after toner or exfoliation I put on a few drops of jojoba oil, and then the essence. I found that by doing this, the products absorb better. Since using this in combination with the Korean skincare method, my face has completely cleared up, with only the occasional zit. Honestly, it's my favorite product and soothes my skin, especially after exfoliating. Highly recommended!" —Anjelic

    Get it from Amazon for $16.90.

    23. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll remove everything from any fabric surfaces whether that be your tiny oopsies to your big *OOPS*. Now you'll be able to munch on your burrito without the fear of leaving a stain. 

    Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes).

    24. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods to finally rid your machine from old grinds and residue. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run. It'll extend your Keurig's lifespan and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh!

    Promising review: "These cleaning K-Cups work like magic. So easy a monkey can do it, LOL. No bad smell when cleaning. Coffee tasted great after using one of these cleaning cups." —KIMBERLY R. 

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95.

    25. A fan-favorite ChomChom hair-removing roller that pet owners swear by. It's just like a lint roller but without the paper so it never runs out. It's designed to pick up pet hair efficiently and once it's locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you throw it away.

    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

    26. A TubShroom to catch all the hair before it clogs your drain so you won't be showering in a puddle up to your ankles. This cute little trinket just stays in the shower drain until the hair needs to be removed.

    Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and (as you can see from the picture) stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hairs go down the drain, but I went ahead ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in six colors). 

    27. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher so when you're super-duper comfy in bed and don't want to make the grueling trek to your light switch, you can do it from your phone. Just attach the SwitchBot to any device with an on/off switch and download the app! From there, you can even set it on a timer — all you need is a Bluetooth connection.

    Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed! You can even connect it to your Alexa or Google Home for voice control. 

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little SwitchBot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

    Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in white and black). 

    28. A jar of internet-famous The Pink Stuff to removes grease and grime from quite literally any surface from stoves to bathtubs to even jewelry! It works so well it'll be attached to your hip. For this price? You'll definitely get a bang for your buck.

    A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.

    Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" —May

    29. Elizavecca Cer-100 collagen-coating hair treatment that treats dry and damaged hair from high heats and sun. You can apply it on any type of hair — after shampooing, massage it in, and rinse after 5–20 minutes to see some luxurious locks.

    Former BuzzFeed editor Bek O'Connell has this hair treatment and adores it! Read more details in her full Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review (it's #1).

    Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-size dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long, fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie

    30. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover so you don't have to constantly buy one-time-use pore strips. It exfoliates your skin and removes all whiteheads, blackheads, and other impurities.

    Promising review: "I have awful pores and am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flakey skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done my face looked SO much better and was super smooth I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" —Diane Delfino

    31. Teeth-whitening pen to help eliminate stains, and it only takes 30 seconds! Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers. P.S. if you use this pen every day for a week, your teeth can get up to eight shades whiter.

    Promising review: "These pens are awesome! They are very easy to use and come with good instructions. I haven’t even used it 10 times yet and I’m already seeing results, so I’m excited to see it keep getting better!! The flavor is a little bit unpleasant but not bad at all and definitely worth it. I also haven’t noticed it making my teeth sensitive at all, which I was a little worried about since I already have sensitive teeth, so I’m glad it’s not affecting that!" —Sami Froemke

    32. foot file that scrubs away all the rock-hard calluses your feet have worked up. It's basically like a cheese grater for your dead skin.

    Promising review: "I was BLOWN AWAY by this product! I have dealt with calloused, cracked heels for as long as I can remember. Some things have worked better than others in the past, but I’ve been in a rut of bad feet for the past several months. The foot rasp/file/scraper that I had was not even coming close to doing the job, and it is a similar style to this one, so I wasn’t getting my hopes up for this one. Based on the reviews and before/after pics, I had to give it a shot though! I gave it a go before getting in the shower and was just so impressed with how easy to use it was and how incredibly it worked. It took less than 15 minutes between both feet and VERY LITTLE pressure/effort was required. This $11 product gave me better results than most professional pedicures I’ve had!" Khall

    33. And Lee Beauty callus remover gel to soften your rock hard skin so you can easily exfoliate! Why spend big bucks getting a pedicure when you can DIY at home? Just soak your feet in hot water, apply this gel wherever needed, rinse it off after 5–10 minutes, and use a pumice or rasp to scrub away 🧽.

    Promising review: "I’m shocked. This stuff really works! It’s the only thing I have found that worked this good and this fast. This was easy. I soaked my feet, then put this on my heels for 10 minutes, then used my pumice and almost all my dead skin was gone. Amazing. And I had really bad heels." —Ilovebling

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    34. A Drop Stop (as seen on Shark Tank) because there is nothing more annoying than dropping your phone or keys into the "abyss" that is the gap between your seat. Insert this into the gap for a snug fit — a simple yet genius idea. 

    Sold in a pack of two.

    Promising Review: "For someone who constantly knocks things outta my hands, this product is a lifesaver. I love not having to lose bits of food, my phone, or anything else small and slim down the crevices in my seats. I even went out of my way to buy two more sets for my friends because they are exactly like me with all sorts of stuff. 😂 This product was a hit, I’d highly recommend it to everyone!" —Grace Danyluk

    35. A bottle of Bio-Oil with natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and sunflower) to help reduce the appearance of scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term ~disappearing~ act!

    Promising reviews: "What is this sorcery? I’m pretty sure it’s just straight up whatever liquid comes out of a unicorn when it happy cries. I have scars, stretch marks, and acne that are healing or disappearing literally overnight. It’s hands down some of the best stuff I’ve ever gotten my hands on. Thank you magical wizard for creating this supernatural concoction, you can now have all of my money. If only I’d taken some before and after pictures to capture the results!" —Purpleflowerseverywhere13

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).

    36. A fan-favorite Poo-Pourri spray for restroom-goers so their business can stay their business. Yes, OFC everyone has to ~go~ but that doesn't mean it has to smell!

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to use this product. It seemed silly, but finally broke down and bought some; this smells SO GOOD! My sister asked what was in my bathroom that smelled so great, and when I told her, she had to have some too. Makes a great funny gift they will actually love!" —Josie Morehead

    Promising review: "A VERY noticeable difference after just one use. I was on the fence of buying this for a while because it's more than I usually spend but it is absolutely worth it. I let it sit for about 30 minutes, then after shampooing and blow drying my hair was much shinier, less frizz and my ends looked much more moisturized and with fewer split ends." —Michelle Holly

    Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $30. 

    38. A makeup spatula (as seen on Shark Tank) so you can get every cent out of your favorite beauty products. With this, you won't be cringing every time you throw out your concealer that still has a quarter left in it. 

    Promising review: "I just started using it and it really lets me use all the foundation in the bottle. I feel I'm getting my money's worth when I can see all the foundation gone. Great little tool." —Chavez

    39. collapsible bowl for pets that'll go wherever your furry little creature goes. If you don't want to put in in your bag, you can clip it anywhere with the carabiner it comes with. After a long walk your little pup will be panting for water and ~voila~, it'll be lapping it up in no time.

    Promising review: "I always carry one of these cups in my sling pack, backpack, or whatever I'm using on walks with my pup. We live in a warm climate so it's super important but even in cool weather, dogs need water on a long walk. These foldable cups are so handy — I pop one of them open, pour in some water from my own water bottle, shake it out when he's done and we both continue on! Great for travel as they stow so easily. An inexpensive investment for something that's so super convenient." —Andromeda

    40. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser that does what a bag can't do — keep your loaf airtight so it stays fresh for way longer. No one WANTS to eat stale bread, they just do because they don't have this container.  It dispenses each slice one by one AND prevents it from getting smushed and shriveled up.

    Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

    41. A cute fruit fly trap for anyone who can't stand to see those annoying zoomers multiply on the daily and buzz around the house. These traps last up to 45 days, so you can just toss out that fly swatter and let these do the work.

    Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil monsters took over our house. These apple jobs are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos

    42. A set of Wad-Free pads so that your sheets actually come out dry instead of a dripping ball of fabric. These pads prevent your sheets from getting tangled and keeps them separate from everything else. Once you use these and take out dry, unwrinkled sheets, you'll realize that it was never your poor dryer's fault.

    Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads.

    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
