RIP to boob sweat, stretched earlobes, and the wart that has (somehow?) been on your finger for as long as you can remember. Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head, and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo Promising review: "I’ve had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used professional solution in a tray, but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I’m proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer Promising review: "I don't usually try all the latest hair things because my hair is very fine and it doesn't like product. But, I received as a sample and I can't believe how nice it made my hair and how long it lasted. I have to wash every single day or my hair would be limp and lifeless. You could tell if I didn't wash my hair for one day. This miracle stuff makes it so that I don't have to wash my hair for a good three days at least, and it still looks fresh. It also lasts between washes, so I only have to use it every other wash or sometimes not for three or four. I can't live without this now that I've found it. It took me ’til my fifties to find this amazing product. I sure coulda used this in my twenties!" —B.S. Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes). FYI, reviewers with kinky/coily hair suggest the extra strength version! Promising review: "I used to pay a professional to dermaplane my face once a month to remove the peach fuzz, which makes me look older and makes the makeup application more cumbersome. I searched for years for a home product to use to save money and time. This is the closest I have been able to get to professional dermaplaning in the convenience of my home, on my time/schedule, and at a fraction of the price. Love it!" —SEM1969 Get a three-count from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in a pack of nine). This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient, as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent, which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area." —Jordan C. Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in multipacks). Promising reviews: "Earlier this week, my dentist advised that I get a bite guard. The cost was $700, but I could have one for $500. I decided to try a less expensive alternative. I purchased these and woke up this morning pain-free. They are comfortable, and I had no problem falling asleep. Pain is gone and I saved $500. I would say that's a win-win." —Charles "I’ve tried a handful of different mouth guards, and all have irritated my gums so badly that I had stopped looking and lost hope that there was a type that would work for me. Until I ran across these — oh my gosh! They are so comfortable to wear, I’ve actually woken up feeling myself grinding my back teeth on them, so I know it’s working! It gives just enough cushion to keep my teeth from touching, other than the back teeth the mouthpiece is resting on. I’m so happy with how comfortable this product is; I don’t even feel it on my gums. Do yourself a favor and buy them. I’ve reused the same one for about a week now, so I know the package is going to last a long time. Can’t recommend enough!!" —G. Baird Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $22.97. Promising review: "These are so, so soft. I tuck them under my breasts and then ease my bra on top, and they stay in place all day. At the end of the day, they might be very damp, but my skin is comfy. Also, I'm able to rotate through them, letting them dry in between, and get a good three uses out of each before I wash them. Even then, they don't smell. Hand washing is best, but I've washed them with a mesh bag, and they were mostly ok. Easy to smooth out. I've also worn these without a bra. I needed to adjust them a bit, but I have never lost it. (My bra size is about 38 DDD)." —Leigh B Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three colors and a combo of all three). Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord owns this exact one! Here's what she has to say: "I started using one of these, and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head, so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thoroughly, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice." Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right, and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin, and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend it to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z Get it from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in three colors). Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I am a 54-year-old man. For many years, I have been plagued with recurring hemorrhoids despite a high-fiber diet, regular BMs, and careful hygiene. Any strain would inflame the underlying condition. Dealing with hemorrhoids has been, in many ways, a life-altering nuisance. I purchased the Squatty Potty after a little research prompted by an online ad. The design made perfect sense, and for the low investment and promised effectiveness, it was worth the try. Well...IT WORKS! And immediately too! I am not exaggerating when I share with you all that it has changed my life. Anyway, with now weeks of usage, I can happily report that I no longer suffer from the condition. I have been able to exert as much effort as I needed to evacuate without having to suffer the past consequences." —Maestroso Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and also in a pack of two). Patellar tendon straps like this one can reduce strain on the tendon connecting your kneecap and tibia during physical activity. While this can help reduce pain, talk to your doctor about recurring pain so you can address any underlying issues. Learn more about patellar tendon straps at Cleveland Clinic, and chat with your doctor to see if this is right for your knee pain. Promising review: "This brace works like magic. I purchased it to help with knee pain from cycling, and I just make sure it's on tight and just underneath my patella. I have zero pain or discomfort now. Would definitely recommend. Comes with two braces!" —Amazon Customer Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). This has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. BTW, Tower 28 is a woman-owned small biz! Promising review: "This was recommended to me by a friend. My skin cleared up within a week or two. I have never gotten so many compliments on my skin. As someone who struggles with adult acne, I would highly recommend this product. I only wish it lasted longer. :)" —Dana Get the standard 4-oz bottle from Amazon, Sephora, or Tower 28 for $28 (available in two other sizes, including a mini for $12). The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs. Promising review: "I never realized how curved my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product did I realize that I had a major problem, and it could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails, that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H. Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I had just about given up with getting relief from jock itch. I'm 70 years old but very active. I exercise six days a week for about 90 minutes. We also live in Florida, which is very humid and hot in the summer. I'm outside a lot during the day. I developed a stubborn case of jock itch. NOTHING WORKED! I ordered a jar of Wonder Balm. Within a couple days I started getting sweet relief!! I still get minor flare-ups, but I'm keeping this around for everyday use!" —Gary C. Promising review: "Sorcery! Wow, I don't know how these things work, but they are incredible. I have been fighting congested nose pores my entire life, with varying success. This is the first time everything just came out. No scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and poking. I am in love!" —IHateCleaning Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.85. You can also shop the original Mighty Patch pimple patches from Amazon for $12.99. Bambody absorbent panties are PFA-free and certified safe to wear. Also, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these. They're designed so they rinse right out in the sink with soap and warm water and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there. You can read the rest of the review on Bambody period underwear for more deets! Psst — reviewers love these undies but suggest sizing up! Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this underwear. Oh my god. Every [person] wants to be as comfortable as humanly possible on [their] period. I have been in the search/buy/return process with period underwear for about two years. I had yet to come across a brand that: • Didn’t cinch at the waist, making bloat and cramps worse• Felt like NORMAL underwear. Not only does Bambody feel like normal underwear, it feels like your favorite pair of underwear. Soft, stretchy, gentle, and light.• Absorbed what it needed to / was built to absorb 8+ hours of free bleeding. I knew it was the one when I put them on. I’m on my period now, and...there is not a single wet spot on my panties when I use the bathroom, yet I am bleeding heavily. No leaks so far. Oh, did I mention I LOVE that they’re high waisted and gently embrace your aching tummy?!... I cannot thank this brand enough for actually knowing what [people] need in [their] period products and making it AVAILABLE and AFFORDABLE. I will continue to be a customer!" —Kelsey Armstrong Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes XS-6X). The Honey Pot is a plant-based, Black woman-founded business that provides clean and effective care products such as sensitive wash, refreshing panty spray, bath bombs, menstrual cups, and more — basically everything you could need to take care of what's downstairs. Every product in the line is recyclable, cruelty-free, and made to soothe and balance the vagina! Promising review: "This is hands down the best panty liner. I mean, I've never felt so fresh. The plant-derived herbal-infused ingredients make for a very happy, bright, and fresh feminine area. I can't like this enough!" —Lauren Get a set of 30 from Amazon for $7.34+ (available in five sizes and also in a larger count size). Powder sunscreen such as this should only be used to supplement other facial sunscreens, since they don't provide as much coverage as regular ones do. Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising reviews: "Love this product! It works so well for my face and my head. I have burned my part too many times, and using this product allows me to never have that issue again. I also love the fact that I can put this on my face after I apply rub-in sunscreen in the morning and it blurs and sets all at the same time. It also lasts a long time and goes pretty far. Great purchase." —Emily Pollard "I have fine hair so anytime I’m in the sun I get burnt on my scalp. Regular sunscreen make my hair super oily and gross and I cannot stand wearing hats. I'm so glad I found this. You do have to apply it more often, and also it doesn’t work if it gets wet. Love this stuff, it's such a lifesaver." —james Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching! Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica, I had it, and trust me when I tell you, it’s saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun, you can use this, and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized. It will not hurt, and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." —Kenneth Promising reviews: "AMAZING PRODUCT! I am amazed! I wash my face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser while in the shower, and immediately after getting out of the shower put BioOil on my skin. That is all I do. I do have a spot treatment from Neutrogena with 10% maximum-strength benzoyl peroxide for those SUPER STUBBORN pimples, but I hardly use it since starting with BioOil. I will forever use this product and recommend it when I can. I have olive-toned, freckled, medium to dry skin with oily nose and forehead, adult hormonal acne, and hyperpigmentation. BioOil has given me a literal GLOW! I feel confident with my face again. I hardly leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Good luck on your healthy skin journey." —Amazon Customer "Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it twice a day, morning and before i go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see notice the changes." –Amazon Customer Get a 6.7-oz. bottle from Amazon for $29.97 (available in two additional sizes, including a mini 2-oz for $10.26). Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can’t prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "After many years of razor burn on my face/neck, I finally broke down and bought this per a friend's recommendation. I have sensitive skin and had given up hope that anything could help. This totally changed my outlook on shaving. My neck, especially, would be the worst. I dab it on immediately after I rinse and dry, post-shave. It does burn a bit, but that goes away pretty quickly. Totally worth it to not have razor burn/bumps anymore. I only apply it once after shaving, even though the directions recommend repeat applications the following day. Go ahead and purchase, you won't be disappointed!" —bill nye Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). (Psst — you should consult with your doctor before trying anything new involving your neck/back area to make sure it's safe for you!) For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lie on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use. Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find, as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors). Y'all, this stuff is no joke — you can check out the earwax removal kit customer reviews to see the GOBS it is taking outta people's canals. Promising review: "So, my hubs has had issues with his ears and he has been to have them irrigated/ flushed by the doctor. This time, the doctor recommended these drops, and OMG, they worked. We used them for three days and then flushed the ears with a syringe. We had to flush about 6-8 times for each ear and HUGE CHUNKS OF WAX came pouring out. It really works!" —Mom of 2 Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed...It felt like I was doomed to have it for forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." —Liz Dube Kitsch is an Asian woman-founded business! BuzzFeed Editor Kayla Boyd loves using this towel: "I've used hair towels for years, but this one is by far the best. Since I have thick, curly hair, I try to avoid adding heat to it as much as possible. This allows my hair to dry naturally MUCH faster, and it prevents it from dripping all over me while I'm trying to do my skincare routine or get ready. The elastic around the trim helps it stay sturdily in place without being irritating at all. And obviously, it's super cute, which is always a bonus." Promising reviews: "Kitsch Towel Wrap has made my wash days so much easier. It minimizes frizz and helps lock in all the moisture from the products I use on my hair. I definitely recommend it for all my natural girls or anyone in general 😁." —Mutiat Kakpovi "The perfect drying towel. This is my second one of these, and I love them! Plenty of room for my long, thick, curly hair, and it helps me cut down on the time it takes to dry. Having the elastic and the button also helps to prevent my curls from being pulled straight while drying. My first one is over a year old and still going strong, so these are great quality!" —M. Jenkins Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 20 colors/patterns). P.S. Kitsch has matching towel scrunchies, too! Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised, as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M. Get a 1.7-oz tube from Amazon for $22.99 (available in two additional sizes, including a mini 0.5-oz for $15.99). Plus, these covers come in six different skin tones! 👏 Nippies is a Los Angeles-based small biz founded in 2002. BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties because, quite frankly, I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There, I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable. I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh, and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5 stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!" Get it from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in three sizes, six shades, and a lift version). Promising review: "So happy I saw this on TikTok! I was skeptical about the product because I am a very heavy sweater. There has been no deodorant that has helped this problem, but these Sweat Block wipes have literally been the best thing I've found that has made the quality of my life so much better!" —Amazon Customer Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.97 (each box lasts two months). Promising review: "Unfortunately, I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I [kept] trying to brush my tongue. Of course, we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner, and it had to be a stainless steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use, and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" —jordanb Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of two or 12). Promising review: "I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. Will definitely be buying again." —Alex Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.04 (also available in mild mint). And if you need more convincing, check out our in-depth review of TheraBreath oral rinse! Promising review: "These are amazing. They are literal lifesavers. I LOVE my heavy Kendra Scott earrings, but I’m pretty sure they’re the culprit of why my right earring hole has ripped slightly. Using these support patches, it’s as if the earrings don’t even exist. I am going to tell all of my friends to get these for their heavy statement earrings!!" —Donthemom50 Get a box of 60 patches from Amazon for $9.99. Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. IceBeanie is a small business founded by surfer and migraine sufferer Nick Lamb. Promising review: "By far one of my favorite everyday essentials. The fit could not be more perfect; it fits on my head like a glove. The fabric is SOOO smooth, soft, and comfortable. It is lightweight and doesn’t feel heavy at all. I love that the entire beanie gets cool, not just sections of it. The color is so aesthetically pleasing, and I will definitely be ordering more for my family. This product is one of my favorites because it is multifunctional; I use it when I need to cool off, when I have a headache, when I do yoga/meditate, and so much more. Do yourself a favor and buy one; you will LOVE it!!!" —Mitchel L Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors). Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising reviews: "I have had tension and migraine headaches for around 20 years. I have tried everything. OTC medication, prescription medication, pain injections, chiropractor, etc...This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I have only had two to three headaches in that time, and they were mild. I ordered more already, so I have some in my car and at home, and I bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines. It is phenomenal." —Mary D. "This stuff is my go-to fix when I feel a migraine coming on. I suffer from sinus headaches and migraines, usually once or twice a week. I put this product on each temple, under my nose, and on my wrists when I feel the pressure starting, and it cuts the pain to a minimum. It seems to stop the worst pain before it has a chance to start. Thank you for a great product! I will buy again and again!" —Brenton1985 Read BuzzFeed's write-up of this miracle migraine stick! Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin & this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leave my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products, so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." —Anna C. Adams Promising review: "I've struggled with a severe case of hyperhidrosis since I was born. I've tried pretty much everything out there, and besides surgery, this is the only product I've found that WORKS. I cannot say how much I LOVE this product. Other products give you this awful tingling sensation that burns. This doesn't! Once you apply it at night, you can't feel it the next morning. It worked for me after one application, and I just can't say enough great things about this. I NEVER review products, but if my review can help this company get more clients who are struggling with hyperhidrosis to try it, then it's worth it. You will not be sorry you tried this!" —Rachel Alvarez Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in a foot and underarm formula). Just so you know, it's a little bit jarring when you first lie on them, but you should feel results within 10 to 30 minutes of lying on the mat. Read more about reflexology, acupressure, and how it can help with stress at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I am so impressed with this mat! I currently experience complete back soreness/tightness + back pain. My calves will also knot up, not release for days at a time. I’ve been using it for five days now and have experienced so much relief, it’s truly unbelievable! I actually want to ensure I wasn’t giving the mat more credit than it deserved, so I almost didn’t use the mat this morning, even though I have a painful jolt down the muscles of one side of my back — I decided to use it anyway because I didn’t want the pain to worsen throughout the day. I’m glad I did because I felt instant relief in my back and neck." —tameeka williams Get it from Amazon for $22.28+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors). Promising review: "Omg GAME-CHANGER. I am astonished. I have actual control over my calluses. My feet are embarrassing unless I literally go every two weeks for pedicures. I slack off? It’s terrible. It was an ongoing joke between me and my ex-husband. After using this ONE TIME, I could cry with excitement. In a few strokes, it shaved off all the hard, thick, ridiculous, callused mess that are my feet. I had to actually be careful to not be so aggressive like I am used to. I had literally resorted to taking a box cutter to shave off calluses. Hoping I didn’t slip. If you know what I’m talking about? Get it. Skip the files (electrics too) and the exfoliating BS. Skip the single-blade shaver. Go. Get this." —A. Donato With these foot mask "socks," you just slide them onto your feet, leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak into your feet, and you should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with remarkably softer feet in two weeks!). Promising review: "I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy, am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let’s be honest, the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet...10/10 would recommend!! " —Alma Elias Get two pairs from Amazon for $19.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $15.19+; available in two sizes and two scents). Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used just about every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" —Melanie Havert Get it from Amazon for $17.60+ (available in five shades, refills, and a set). Promising review: "It comes with three AWESOME AND COMFY bra extensions, they are so easy to clip on and take off. As a plus-size girl, this is a game-changer. I can never find a good-sized bra and this gives me the extra room to breathe. My bra fits so much nicer, and it doesn't squish my side boobs anymore. Good 1-3 inches of extension as needed. I have a size 44 bra, and now it fits like a size 46 or 48 band. GREAT PRODUCT!" —Monica Get a three-piece variety set from Amazon for $7.99 (available with two-, three-, and five-prongs, six colors, and multiple set sizes). Read more about how compression socks may help with foot pain by helping reduce inflammation and improving circulation, according to Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I went on my first walk in years without pain the second day of trying these socks! I had almost given up trying to relieve the intense burning/soreness due to my plantar fasciitis, but I decided to try one last product. These socks have already changed my life and have allowed me to start working out again! Highly recommend." —Emily Get a pair from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in sizes S–XL and 11 colors). Drop It recommends 1-2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2-3 for a glass of red, and 7-9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you're good to go. Drop it also dairy-, soy-, and gluten-free! Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I can finally drink wine again after years of abstinence! I used to get the most awful headache on just one glass of wine; it was so bad, I just stopped drinking wine altogether. Then I discovered these magic drops! I've only had them a couple of weeks but I have drank red and white wine totally headache-free! I even drank half a bottle of heavy red. These drops really are magic! I love that you get two bottles as well, one can stay in your purse and one at home. Brilliant!" —shelleymab Promising review: "I had a terrible summer in Florida this year with the high temps and humidity and started to chafe every time I wore my sports bra (five times a week) so bad. It was painful, and my skin was breaking in places all along my sports bra band. Powder and/or Vaseline did not help. I found this product and have not had even one episode of chafing once I started using it. It's easy to apply; I just put it anywhere my sports bra band touches, front and back. haven't chafed not one time since I started using it." —Heather Get a 1.5-oz stick from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two additional sizes, including a smaller 0.8-oz for $8.99).

I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $24.98 (also available as a pack of 15). Mad Rabbit is a Black-owned small biz founded by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor who specialize in all-natural products to heal, protect, and enhance tattoos. Promising reviews: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward "This stuff is the best! My girlfriend bought this before, but I didn’t like the scent she had — but the spreadability of this was to die for. When I found out they had different scents, I was so excited. I want to get more tattoos just so I can put it all over my body. 🤣" —Iris Kotico Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in three scents). Promising review: "Bought this knee pillow on a whim and regret not purchasing it sooner. I suffer from lower back pain due to a herniated disk and only feel comfortable sleeping on my side. Beforehand, only using pillows I'd find that they were a bit too 'fluffy' and wouldn't hold form, compressing overnight, and causing me to wake with lower back pain from time to time. This product has helped tremendously. It doesn't compress very much whilst sleeping and I find myself to wake up feeling more refreshed with little to no lower back pain. 5/5." —Zed R. These ✨reusable✨ odor absorbers come from small biz Moso Natural! Promising review: "These things are AMAZING!!!! I can't believe how well these work!! I take my shoes off, pop these in, and overnight, any odor that they had is GONE!! I love that you regenerate the inserts by putting them outside in the sun, and after a year of use, you recycle them by sprinkling the carbon in your garden! Such a great and sustainable product!" —Elizabeth Klonowski Get them from Amazon for $11.95 (available in two colors and also in multi-packs). Promising reviews: "I ordered this to help with my mission of correcting my posture. I had such horrible posture as a kid and continued on with my 'desk life' that I always find myself hunched over. I wear it for 30-45 mins at a time, a few times a day. Works great to re-train my body on sitting up straight and with shoulders back. It’s very easy to put on and can tighten it or loosen to fit better." —Amanda "I found myself slumping over my desk by the end of the day and I mentioned it to my hairstylist one day as she was doing my hair, and she recommended a brace for my shoulders. I found this one and I wear it about 20 minutes a day and I can feel such a difference. The tension between my shoulders doesn't turn on as quickly as it did before I started using the brace. This particular brace is just as they named it, extremely comfortable. Easy to put on and easy to take off." —Amazon Customer Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Promising review: "Having been a dental assistant for over 30 years, I found this to be the best brush ever. I am 69 years old and have never had a cavity (genetic and maintenance). For the past 30 years I have used electric toothbrushes. They worked great, but I like Dr. P's brush because of the flossing like bristles. It's also the perfect size for a quick brush for each quadrant. Also, since taste buds are replaced every four days brushing your tongue is important to keep your breath fresh and food will taste better. Everybody brush now! Great idea from a real dentist!" —BenK Promising review: "I LOVE these oil-absorbing sheets! I tried them out a few years ago but didn't get around to writing a review until now. I've tried other blotting sheets, and they've either broken me out or just did not absorb all the oil. Every time I come back to these, I realize they are truly the best. I have SUPER-oily skin (and cystic acne, which I have the scars to show for), and this makes me feel sooo fresh and even calms down active pimples/acne. As you can see, it truly removes all of the oil and keeps it that way for several hours. Very cute design, too, and really easy to use and keep anywhere with you. Amazing price for what it does. If you're hesitating to buy it, just go for it!" —Noopur D. Get a pack of 100 sheets from Amazon for $6.95 (also available in two other formulas and various pack sizes). Promising review: "Over the years, my skin has become extremely oily. This roller is easy to use, portable, and REALLY does what it says!! Don't know how I've lived without this. I will never purchase blotting/oil-absorbing sheets again." —jazmine The patch's scent is a soothing combination of lemon, jasmine, and rose oil! Promising review: "Amazing! If you like heating pads during that lovely time just get it.. It says they last for six hours or something but I've had a few/all stay warm and comforting for over 15 hours! They are perfect." —SFMB Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ or straight from Rael for $17.99. Promising review: "There isn’t anything I don’t like. I bought it for pain relief after my hysterectomy and my gosh is it amazing. It has a two-hour auto shut-off and is super easy to operate. The heat is perfect I use high mostly for the pain relief. It is so soft and comfortable. I have been using it almost 24 hours a day to assist in relief, and it is working. Love it!" —Lisa Socash Get it from Amazon for $33.97+ (available in four sizes and 10 colors). Read more about compression gloves and osteoarthritis at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I’m 70 years old and have arthritis in my hands. I’ve used copper bracelets and other gloves for several years and they are some what helpful but these gloves seems to do a lot better. They have a tight fit and are very comfortable. They are very durable as I wear them while working outside, hunting, fishing or whatever. The other gloves I’ve had would have been torn and ripped up by now but these gloves look like I just took them out of the box and I’ve washed them twice." —Keith Proffer Get a pair from Amazon for $21.97 (available in four sizes). Promising review: "These were a revelation for me. I get VERY sweaty on summer runs (complete shirt and shorts saturation) and that often results in nipple chafing. I've tried bandaids and athletic tape and I sweat them right off. These have held remarkably well for 1.5+ hour runs in July heat and humidity." —lilloquacious Get a set of 20 pairs from Amazon for $15.99. 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 used 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 hard-to-reach spots, such as your back. Since it's extremely rough, I would advise against using it on your face." —Jay G. Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.88. P.S. These fizzing tablets work for Invisalign, retainers, dentures, night guards, and more. Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." —Lisa R. Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $22.81 (also available in two other sizes).

I went on a cruise with my family and I was so nervous about getting seasick. I put these on from the time the cruise started until it ended and I did not get sick at all. Not even for one second. We hit some rough seas, and the ship was pretty rocky and I was nervous as other people in my party were starting to feel the effects of the motion. I didn’t get sick at all. I absolutely recommend these. I also took them on a snorkeling tour in Hawaii and did not get sick at all. Absolutely a must for those who get motion sick. I don’t know how they work but all I can say is amazing." —Francisco "I have used these for all of my pregnancies and I wouldn't have made it through the first trimesters without them! Simple but does the trick!" —Amb R Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.59+ (available in six colors). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
