Promising review: "I am proud to post that I have just completed the 2018 Boston Marathon in torrential rain and hurricane-like winds — one of the absolute worst conditions for a marathon. A friend recommended body and foot glide, so I coated my entire foot, between the toes and all. NO BLISTERS after 26.2 miles in the pouring rain. Sneakers soaked at the start. I cannot rave more about this product. Incredible value to save you a lot of pain. Highly recommended for bad weather, breaking in new shoes, etc." —Amazon Customer

^As you can tell by the photo on the right, a customer actually swabbed two phones for bacteria, and you can see the before and after in each!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I have a weakened immune system due to an autoimmune disorder and I work in a hospital, which means I am around nasty germs ALL the time! I use PhoneSoap on my cell phone once or twice a week and I have noticed a difference in how often I get sick! This product is a little pricey, but it is worth the money. You touch so many different surfaces in a day that you have to regularly clean your phone." —Rebekah Keim

Promising review: "I’m guessing most people buy this great product for stopping sparkling wines, but it works just as well for any large-bottle sparkling drink, including apple ciders. And the ability to pump it once sealed means you don’t waste a single bubble getting the bottle back to its full pressure. Great product. Superb customer service." —DavidAtSwans

Promising review: "So good I had to buy two! Not only are these wine condoms a gift that people will talk about, but they're a responsible way to keep your wine sealed between drinks. First and foremost, they're reusable. I do want to note though that, like any other condom, a wine condom will break if you're too rough with it — however, if you use common sense while putting one on the bottle and don't try to overstretch it, I doubt you'll have any problems (I haven't had any so far). Personally, I prefer using these to traditional corks when storing white wine because I can keep my bottles sideways in the fridge without fear of any spillage. I also want to note that these Wine Condoms were socially conscious: when I received my package, I also received a note stating that a portion of my purchase had gone toward providing clean water for those in need. Definitely worth the purchase from a great company!" —Samantha

All you gotta do is pair Cube with your smartphone and it'll use Bluetooth to do the rest! It has a range of up to 200 feet and a volume of 101dB. And if you lose your phone, you can use your Cube to locate it via ring, vibrate, or flash. It also comes with a battery already inside, plus an extra battery — and since each lasts a year, you already have two years worth of juice right out of the packaging!
Promising review: "I purchased this key finder after a discussion with a friend about how I seem to always lose things. The key finder she had was ridiculously expensive, but I found this one and it works better than the one she bought. I decided to put mine on a carabiner so I can easily move it from my set of keys to my husband's. I had just barely started using this product when this key finder more than saved the day after my husband dropped his keys while we were at a Green Bay Packers family night! I have also found it useful to attach to my purse when I go out with friends. Highly recommend!" —Dee

Promising review: "This was purchased for me as a Christmas gift from a coworker. I only recently started using it, as I've been dealing with some troubles in my life. I don't know what it is, but even if I repeat some of the same stuff, getting this done in the mornings (or sometimes at night) has made such a tremendous difference in my attitude toward myself and to others. So much so, that several people have taken notice. I have since purchased a couple copies for friends who are also dealing with troubles in their lives. I highly recommend it. Even if you aren't dealing with any issues in life, it's such a help for clearing your head before starting your day." —Sumo

I've only tried their hiphuggers, which I love for daytime wear, BUT I only wish I had these boyshorts for troublesome (namely, I'm lying on my side) nighttime flows. You just give them a good rinse in the sink (ya' know, to get most of the blood out) before popping them into the washer (in a mesh laundry bag if you're careful like that!) for a ~deep~ cleanse!
Promising review: "Bought the Boyshort in size XL and just had my first try last night, and I had a great sleep with zero leakage. Also, when I woke up I felt dry and clean. It was just amazing — more than I expected, especially since it was the first night of my period. Really happy with the purchase!" —Julia T.
Get it from Thinx for $39 (available in sizes XXS–3XL).
Promising review: "I love these cubes. We have different colors for each person in our family. They keep the suitcase organized and everyone's clothes separate. They can hold a ton of clothes rolled up. I used the biggest size to hold all of my clothes for a 7 day cruise for a total of 11 days all together. I have had these stuffed to the brim and the seams are holding up great. All the different sizes make this a great purchase because they accommodate different trip lengths. I wish I would have bought these much sooner because we travel a lot." —T. McKinzie
Get the set of four from Amazon for $24.99 (comes with a small, medium, large, and extra large bag; available in eight colors).
Promising review: "My new prescription is heavy and wouldn't stop slipping down my nose. They're adjusted well, but that didn't stop them from shifting some. The frame I fell in love with is a bit chunky and oversized too, which doesn't help the weight and slipping. I was a bit weary of these, but these turned out to be perfect. It takes an extra second to put my glasses on because I have to tuck the silicone in place, but it's worth it because I don't have to constantly push my glasses up. They're very soft too. I get migraines and was worried about that, but I read that the black keepons are soft and the clear ones are hard, so I chose the black. They also distribute the weight evenly, so it's not all on my nose. No matter what I do, my glasses aren't moving. Getting them on wasn't too difficult, but it took some testing. Now I keep going to push my glasses up out of habit, something I've been doing for over 20 years, but then I realize I don't even need to. Oh, and no one can see that they're on my glasses!" —A.M.M.
Get 10 pairs from Amazon for $3.99.
Promising review: "I'm 5'11, 150 pounds, and an avid weightlifter who sweats during exercise more than any one person should ever sweat. These are AMAZING and I've since purchased them in two additional colors — I kind of just need all of them now. They are excellent at keeping me dry, and no matter how much booty sweat I create, the color of the pants doesn't darken and give me away. Size small looked tiny coming out of the package, and I was very skeptical about the sizing, but they instantly became my favorite pair of workout pants. They have just the right amount of compression, and they really hold my muscles in place during high intensity training. The design on the front is super flattering to a girl with long legs and big quads, and the fabric has just the right thickness and sheen to show off my shape without being obnoxious. The length is awesome, as I really struggle to find leggings that don't bunch up behind my knees when I squat. They settle right into place within a few minutes of wearing them, and don't move again until I take them off. Give them a try, and you won't regret it." —Quadzilla
Get it from Under Armour for $50 (available in sizes XSS–XXLS in short length, XS–XXL in regular length, and XST–XXLT in tall length, and two colors).
Promising review: "I have a super minimalist beauty routine and rarely invest in products — but let me tell you: this is the real deal. I recently set out to find a unicorn all-in-one product that would moisturize, reduce redness, didn’t feel like makeup, and would have the SPF my fair skin needs. A friend recommended this and...wow. I can’t believe the instant effect this has on my skin! It’s light as air, has a beautiful finish, color corrects my redness, and moisturizes to boot. I. Am. In. Love." —MLRRR

No more bending over backwards to zip up that dang dress!
Promising review: "So in the old days, I rigged up a zipper puller with a paper clip and a string. This was great for the old zippers there the pull had a little hole in it. However, invisible zippers have taken over the fashion world and those pulls are solid. I've found myself getting into all kinds of contortions trying to pull them up so my curiosity was definitely piqued when I saw this little item. Lo and behold, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. This really is a life-changing thing for me. Now I don't have to choose my dresses according to whether or not my spouse is home to help me zip!" —Vicky Embrey

How does it work its magic? Papaya and pineapple enzymes help loosen dead skin cells in preparation for removal, and then soft plant-based fibers act like ~micro-lint rollers~ to capture and roll away dirt and dry, flaky skin.
Promising review: "Let me tell you! I've tried EVERYTHING, including Proactive and Rodan & Fields, and nothing has helped my skin in the way that this (and the cleansing collection) have! My skin is combination that reacts to EVERYTHING, but after two days of using this, my redness, peeling, and oily patches were GONE! I can't get over how much I love this! I actually enjoy taking care of my skin now because I can see almost immediately and feel how much of a difference this has made!" —Anonymous

Alongside motion sickness, these claim to also help with morning sickness, chemotherapy, surgery, and more.
Promising review: "While these may not work for everyone, I have found them to be very effective at staving off vertigo. Even my worst "attacks" are at least lessened when wearing them. As others have said, they need to be tight. I found that washing mine (regular wash) helped to restore the tautness almost 100%." —nanamo
Promising review: "I was a skeptic, but now I AM a believer. This mixed up honey is absolutely fabulous. I ordered three bottles more after my initial order. Why? Because it is really good on everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Soft pretzels, toast, biscuits, waffles, cereal, yogurt, ice cream, and definitely pizza. Gives everything in your kitchen a small kick of sweet heat flavor without burning your mouth. I have told many of my friends about this magical elixir and they all agree — this is the BEST specialty honey any of us have ever had. Don’t hesitate to buy it. It is absolutely wonderful stuff. I most HIGHLY recommended!" —Jeff R. Clow

Promising review: "My hair is somewhere between straight and wavy. I blow dry and flat iron my hair every day. It's long (past mid-back) and, while it's fine, there is a lot of it. Typically, it takes 35-45 minutes to get my hair dry. I came across this product and I decided to give it a try. My hair goes from dripping wet to bone dry in 10 minutes FLAT. This stuff is a lifesaver. I want people who spend five or six hours a week under a blowdryer to know there's a better way!!" —CLL1979

For silver jewelry, it claims to leave an anti-tarnish shield.

Promising review: "I don't have many drawers, and the silverware drawer seems like there should be so much more room....so I see these weird silverware trays. I figure, why not? I love them! I got two and put one on each side of the drawer. This allowed me to put random things in between them that I had a hard time finding a place for. I should probably mention that I have a service for 16, and it is REALLY, REALLY heavy Oneida flatware. I have a standard size drawer and even the height is fine. They also stay where the heck you put them, even with drawer liner and the way that my husband slams those drawers shut! All around a great purchase!" —Stephanie M. Campbell

Promising review: "Whoa, these things work! I have acne on my face, chest, and back. Occasional at this point in my life (aside from that time of the month), but still VERY annoying. I have a terrible habit of picking at the blemishes on my chest and back too, especially the whiteheads. I bought these thinking they might halt my urges to pick, and to my surprise it completely sucked out all of the grossness of a pesky pimple that I had (you know, the ones that you pop but they keep coming back). It helped me not focus on it in the four-ish hours it was on as well. Definitely worth a try if you suffer from large, painful whiteheads." —Megan Shoewalter

All you have to do is apply a dot to totally clean skin and gently press it into your skin for 5–10 seconds. And fret not, they won't irritate sensitive skin or hurt like professional microneedling! Also, their Sephora page says it "best treats dark spots from post-acne inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and age spots."
Promising review: "I have a litany of dark spots from acne and dermatillomania issues. These spots definitely helped with any resulting hyperpigmentation. It did take a couple of nights to see results, but it did lighten my spots much quicker than waiting for them to heal on their own. I definitely recommend abiding by the instructions and using them only a few times a week with a day-or-so's break in between. I used them on back-to-back nights for a while and noticed some irritation from constantly peeling and sticking the adhesive ring on the same spot. Other than that, these are great! I imagine if you first use a Peace Out Acne Dot to reduce a pimple and most of its redness, then follow it up with these for any remaining discoloration, you'll be golden." —RedFoxHeidi

Promising review: "My cat never really enjoyed being brushed; we had one of those ones with flexible metal bristles. He would sit for a very short time and then walk away. Not anymore! My cat is very skittish so the sound of the Velcro scared him in the beginning, but he quickly got used to it. He lays still, purrs, allows me to get his under belly a bit, and even allows me to groom his fur 'against the grain,' which he would never do before. Love it!" —Alicia Mead

Promising review (for the photo on the right): "I have thin fingers (size 4) and my rings always spin all the way around. So I either skip wearing them, or I leave them at my office desk all day and put them back on when I am leaving.
This product was very easy to install. I used both sizes, one for my bridal set that is soldered together, and the thin one for my other ring. You can customize the fit by using more or less turns of the twine. It will be fairly easy to remove and attach again on swollen finger days. And it's super cheap. I think I should be able to resize 10 rings without having to reuse any of the twine. Very satisfied!" —new mom 2
Promising review: "I've used decorative, single-magnet holders for my ID badge with retractable pull cord for a few years now, but they were never strong enough to handle the abuse of a nurse badging in and out of departments all night. I gave this a shot. It's THE BEST holder I've had yet! It can hold clip or slide holders. With two magnets, it doesn't budge no matter how many times I use it. Recommending it to coworkers!" —Amazon Customer

Once scanned, the RocketBook app will automatically send your notes to preselected apps or email. There are QR codes on each page that'll let the app know what page number you're scanning, and you can also mark each page with one of several special symbols that the app will read and send the notes on that page to the location you've matched with that symbol. It comes with a pen but also works with any Pilot Frixion writing utensils.
Promising review (for the photo on the right): "EXCEPTIONAL! This will change your life! This product amazed me and exceeded my expectations. It works exceptionally and as described. The Rocketbook app is so simple and easy to use. The scanning is perfect — it captures the colors, exposes the page with the right lighting, and crops and adjusts the page properly. Each scan takes less than a second, and you can combine multiple pages into one scan and upload them as one document. This is brilliant and I'm so glad I purchased it for school. I have seven classes, and so I assigned each symbol in the notebook to my respective Google Drive folders. The Frixion highlighters and pens erase easily with the included erasers on the pens and effortlessly with a damp microfiber cloth (I provided the link to a very compact microfiber cloth that I use, I'd highly recommend it). Anyway, the product is great, and definitely worth the money." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "We are foster parents to a LOT of kittens and while we wait for them to find their forever homes — even though we clean the litter twice daily — things can get smelly. I was certainly skeptical about this candle because all the reviews heralded it as some sort of miracle product. But it totally is. The first night I came home after it had been delivered, my partner had already lit it and I walked into a house that DID NOT SMELL LIKE CAT, despite there being eleven kittens actively everywhere. Poop smell, gone. Kitten fart smell, GONE. General messy kitten smell, GONE. This helps us feel a little more sane while we take care of our own cats as well. We will continue buying FOR SURE — the candy cane smell is nice: not overwhelming, not too sweet. I'm looking forward to trying new ones as the seasons change." —Elizabeth Lincoln

Promising review: "This is the best pack I've ever owned. I don't use a bladder in it, but I can easily carry more than half a liter of water (two 20 oz. bottles in the side pockets and a 32 oz. bottle in the main compartment) in it. I generally keep a rain jacket in the main compartment and can fit another light layer in, both in addition to a quart-sized bottle of water. Oh, and I carry my wallet and bug spray in there too. I carry food in the medium-size compartment, as well as tissues, bandages, etc. in the small upper compartment. The best thing is the way the pack fits me and I really don't feel the weight I'm carrying at all. (I don't use the waist belt since it's actually too high for me, and I'm short-waisted.) Did I mention I absolutely LOVE this pack?!? Love the bright pink color too. Update, May 2018: I've been using this pack for two years and it's still going strong (still a bright color too). Still *the best day pack ever.*" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for! I live in Miami so I’ve always been looking for bedding that won’t capture too much heat or any at all. I’ve tried a bunch in the past, but THIS IS IT. It’s truly lightweight and perfect to put inside a duvet. It lays pretty flat and isn’t too puffy or thick. I just purchased all linen bedding and this comforter is absolutely made to be inside a duvet. The linen duvet has strings in the inside corners and THIS COMFORTER has little loops on the corners so the comforter can be tied to the duvet and never slide around. Genius! Maybe I’m new to the bedding world and missed this in the description, but it’s like it was meant for the duvet. Needless to say, it’s the only comforter/duvet insert I’d ever recommend to anyone needing something light, not too puffy or bulky, yet still keeps you cozy." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "How did I ever get along without this?!? And why have I never seen anything similar before? It just makes so much sense to have a spreader that conforms to the curve of corn. Makes buttering corn on the cob a snap — like half the time than with a regular butter knife. Which is amazing, when making a lot of corn at once. Sure, it's a little pricey for a single use gadget, but I really love it. We eat a lot of corn during the summer and I have enjoyed using this spreader. A+ for originality and function." —MaryPies

I put in three credit cards, an ID, and about four business cards. It’s super sturdy and still fits in my pocket. I think this one might last the lifetime of my phone. Honestly though if it lasts over a year I will be extremely happy and I am so far. If I upgrade my phone I will be looking for another one of these." —Jack S.

Promising review: "Backstory: I've had migraines for over 22 years. About five years ago, they turned chronic. Headache Hat changed my life. I know that sounds wild, but hear me out. Anyone with daily, chronic pain knows that it can take a toll not only on your life, but your family's. I've been stuck in dark rooms with blinding migraines more times than you would think is possible. While they help dull the pain, traditional ice packs are a pain to use because you either have to lie down on them or sit holding them to your head. I've tried almost every single wearable ice pack contraption out there, and they are all AWFUL! They are either uncomfortable or only stay cold for about 15 minutes. The Headache Hat is not only comfortable, but lasts for HOURS! I love the fact that you can move the little ice cubes around within the band, which means that I can place the cubes directly on certain pressure points like my temples or forehead. It's a life-changer because I can now wear it around while participating in activities with my husband, taking my dogs out, or even driving if needed (of course not covering the eyes)! It doesn't look completely ridiculous if you need to wear it outside. I am a Headache Hat fangirl — this thing is AMAZING and has allowed me to do so many things I wasn't able to in the past!" —Rachel G.

Promising review: "I originally saw this on Shark Tank and thought it was a good idea. I have purchased at least 50 different pain relief and massage tools over the years and most don't do much or you can't easily hold the item in place to get relief. But this is amazing. Everyone that has tried it, including my niece with Lupus and my massage therapist can't believe how great it is. It can take pain away in minutes. In love! You will not be disappointed and you do not need to have arm strength to use." —PrincessandBuddiesMom

Not only are these gels part of UD's Sparkle Out Loud Collection, but they're the *best* part of the collection, in my humble opinion. They're incredibly glittery yet totally manageable — meaning they're self-adhesive, not messy, easy to work with, and don't come off until you want them to (of course, with any glitter, it might take a little more time to take off, and I'm ok with that). I love to smear them around my eyes and on my cheekbones for extra flair.

The straw's microfiltration membrane eliminates bacteria and parasites and filters up to 1000 liters of water **safely** (aka without iodine, chlorine, or other chemicals), so you can safely drink from any available water source. Stay hydrated, folks!
Promising review: "I used this on a hike recently; tried different configurations as shown, with the drinking straight out of the river, and out of a wide-mouth bottle. The flow-rate through the LifeStraw is a little reminiscent of drinking a really thick milkshake, which is understandable considering the filter basically gets everything. When I filled up my Nalgene with water from the stream, I could see the sediment start to settle; I even made sure to get some with the straw just to see. Worked like a charm. You just need to remember to blow into it afterwards to clear out the straw." —Kingston
