Wait, wait, wait — so with this sippy cup catcher, we can actually go out in public without risking apple juice being launched at an innocent bystander? (*does happy dance*) I'm a BuzzFeed Shopping writer who covers everything from home and organization to travel and gifting, and I'm passionate about staying on top of the latest beauty trends (especially K-beauty) as well as tracking down affordable products for a luxe lifestyle. Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the SweatBlock product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.97 (also available in packs of two or three boxes). Promising review: "If the mosquitoes love you, this is a must-have! I have suffered from being allergic to mosquitoes all my life, which made me miss out on a lot of family events because I did not like to be outside. I actually saw this on the TikTok shop (I see tons of stuff on TikTok shop, but then come and find it on Amazon to buy...comes in much quicker and is often cheaper on Amazon!) This thing really works! I take it with me everywhere I go!" —Patricia Vaughan Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in six colors). Promising review: "Super easy to install and cut down all light from my TV’s LED indicator after two stickers — plus, I can still use the remote, no problem! This made my life so much better with just a sticker. Definitely recommend!" —Em Check out a TikTok of this wedgie-proof underwear. Promising review: "FINALLY, COMFY PANTIES! As a 30-year-old woman, I’ve been on the search for comfy underwear and I finally found them. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of stretch." —Amazon Customer "So freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face. I was worried these would creep up the cheeks into wedgie territory, but no. Blissful cheek hugging all day long. Can’t feel them even if I tried. No weird pinching or odd areas. Perfect chef’s kiss. I typically wear Aerie boy brief–style undies — these are a close match in fit and comfort, and equivocal in size." —Ali Morey Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in 12 color combos and women's sizes XS–3XL). Promising reviews: "This little strap is a lifesaver! No more dropped sippy cups on the floor at restaurants. It clips right onto the stroller and keeps everything secure. The lavender color is super cute too." —Tony Rosati "Found this on TikTok. Only works on thicker bottles. Will not work on the long Nuk sippy cups or Dr. Brown's bottles." —Bellaxwin Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors and as sets). Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the foo,d and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors and seven sets). Check out a TikTok of the dolly trolley in action. Promising review: "I was getting so tired of making several trips to my car to retrieve my groceries after each shopping trip. I saw this trolley on Amazon and decided to buy it. Best purchase ever. I now can bring all my groceries in with one trip to the car. I also love that its wheel design allows the trolley to climb my front steps, making it so easy for me. I have used it in the house to help me carry things upstairs, and the climbing feature makes it safe and easy." —m Robinson Get it from Amazon for $85.99+ (available in black and blue). Promising review: "This product is da bomb! Yeah, I said that, and I am 43 years old. Seriously, for months — heck, probably years — every single day we have to fix the sheet and it still comes off the mattress even when we are sleeping. I clip these things on, and no more issues. You can see the sheet trying to slide up, but the clips hang on tight." —Ivy Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and a larger size). Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action. Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a magic eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne Promising review: "I chose this set because it was the only pair I saw that came with removable drip trays. A genius addition, in my opinion, because inevitably, they will get messy from time to time. They were super easy to slide onto the detergent bottles but feel ultra snug and secure. As if these didn’t already fit my needs perfectly, this company went above and beyond with super cute branding, a thank you note, AND a bonus laundry bag perfect for socks and undies. I’m so impressed with their quality and the company’s eye for detail. If you’re in the market for detergent drip trays, this is the set to buy!!" —Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two styles). Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people that avoids my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela 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 lay 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 1–3 day adjustment period before regular use. Promising review: "My lifesaving tool! Over the last 10+ years, I have always needed to go to a chiropractor (yes, I have gone to various different ones and had different styles) due to my neck. It likes to get out of alignment easily and severely. This has been a source of migraines and headaches for me. I lie on this while I’m lying flat on my back for 10 minutes several times throughout the day. Just the 10 minutes takes the edge off, but using it several times in a day really helps. It doesn’t hurt, but merely puts pressure on a few trigger points in my neck that need it. I am so glad I found this on TikTok and ordered it!" —Angela Myers Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors). Linda's Essentials is a small family-run biz based in London. Promising review: "If you have gaps between your stove and your counters (like most of us), you need these! They wipe up nicely, and I throw them in the dishwasher every couple of weeks for maintenance. The best part? NOTHING falls in that little gap anymore! :)" —Chelzie Get a pair from Linda's Essentials on Amazon Handmade for $9.99+ (available in five sizes and styles). Reviewers also use this balm on their feet, under boobs, underarms, under the waistband — really, all over the body. Promising review: "This stuff really is awesome. It really works, and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." —SweetPea Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes). Promising reviews: "This provides relief to the heartbreak of sweating balls all day. Your balls will be cool and dry all day and will thank you for the week to come." —Tech Guy "I like the smell. A sweat-proof product that will last a hot 10-hour shift in hot weather. When I say hot weather: 90 degrees or less, it's an effective product. No chafing, and balls are bone dry." —Robert Wind Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three scents or unscented). BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says, "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate." For more deets, check out her full Mighty Patch review! Promising review: "This is a great product! I purchased these patches to hopefully cover up a reoccurring spot. I put a patch on the acne spot and left it on for a few hours per the instructions and the acne disappeared within a few uses. It’s really a great product that doesn’t stick out like most patches." —MB303 Get a pack of 36 stickers from Amazon for $12.99. The key is to start with an already clean shower — then, once a week, spray it down with this for upkeep so you don't have to deep clean quite as often! Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). Promising review: "You know when your life gets better after you purchase a specific product? Well, this is that product. With this Texas summer weather approaching, wearing a bra is like sticking your breasts in a straitjacket! I slapped these bad boys on today and went braless in a white tank top! I'm a happy woman!" —Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in three sizes, five shades, and a version that provides lift). ChooMee is a small biz based in Northern California that specializes in innovative products to solve everyday feeding challenges. Promising review: "I saw this product from an influencer on TikTok and decided to give it a try. We used it for the first time last night and were unsure if our daughter would get the hang of how to use it (I think they have to bite it). It took her a minute or two, but once she understood, she devoured her pouch in about 2 minutes. It fit perfectly on an apple sauce pouch and the squeezable yogurt that we tried. At first, we were skeptical about buying two of them for $9, but it was genuinely worth every penny for helping my daughter be more independent, and also lessening the time of feeding." —Kayleigh S Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.98 (available in five color combos). This contraption provides 360-degree support thanks to a wraparound design and clips that connect it to your seat's headrest. Promising review: "Just took a 15-hour flight with this travel pillow, and this was the best travel pillow by far. I've used inflatable and memory foam neck pillows before; the major problem is that they don't secure your head and torso, so either your muscles have to hold up your body, or your head and torso will end up swinging around, and both are disruptive to sleep. With this travel pillow, my muscles can relax, and the padded eye mask will hold up my head and torso. One minor downside is that the pillow needs to be mounted on your seat's headrest; if someone bumps your seat, it can be disruptive, but this rarely happens. Its size and weight are also much less than memory foam neck pillows, and I don't have to bring an extra eye mask, so it is very travel-friendly." —Sky Get it from Amazon for $19.84+ (available in 10 colors). Moonshine and Glitter is a small, North Carolina-based Etsy shop that makes handmade signs and home decor. Promising review: "I live this, very helpful and looks awesome on my fridge. Shipping was relatively quick considering the holiday. Practical and looks great. Got the 10- inch and it's perfect size." —Alaina Sofia Get it from Moonshine and Glitter on Etsy for $11.99+ (available in four sizes). Check out a TikTok of the cat scratch stopper in action. KittySmart is a small business that specializes in pet-friendly home products. Promising review: "My kitten used to be obsessed with scratching the carpet at the door entry. Slipped this right in, and the problem no longer exists. Now she rests on top of it. The clear plastic isn’t an eyesore either." —Rita Serrano Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five sizes). Promising review: "Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy, and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles). Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok, and it got me curious, so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper, and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much, I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MT Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in two sizes and three shapes). Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. Promising reviews: "Everything I hoped for and everything everyone’s been raving about. There’s a little padding, but it doesn’t feel too extra, and I don’t feel like my boobs are on display like they used to in a push-up bra from Victoria's Secret. There’s a good amount of coverage, and more than I’m used to, but it’s super comfortable. Almost like I’m wearing a sports bra. It looks great under T-shirts. No rolling, pulling, or itching. Just really comfortable." —Allison Lanczki "Saw this on TikTok and decided to try it. It’s absolutely fantastic. Buttery soft, seamless bra. I haven’t bought a different brand bra in years! I’m obsessed." —Bella006 Get it from Amazon for $18.96+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 27 colors). Snug Plugs is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. Promising review: "These are SUCH a game-changer. We rent, so I can't do much about the loose outlets around the house. These have made several outlets usable again!" —Minerva G. Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a glow-in-the-dark version). Promising review: "This product is absolutely fabulous. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I have a collie who I adore, but bless her heart, her fur is like Velcro; she tracks dirt and debris into the house, and it winds up on my furniture. I didn't want to put something on the furniture that would scare her (like many of the sound devices) or zap her (like many training aids) because she is a rescue. This is a very humane way to keep her off the furniture. The paws are hard plastic but have no sharp edges and are larger than I had anticipated, which is great. They come in a set of four; two are sufficient for a chair and four for a loveseat. I like it so much that I ordered another set. When I am ready to sit down, it's easy to lift the protectors off the seat and set them on the floor or against the side table. I also like that it is made in the USA." —Patricia M. Terrell Get four sheets from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two sizes). Southside Plants is a woman-owned small business that was founded in Fort Worth, Texas, by plant-lover Meg Renninger. They create everything from their own potting soil to fertilizer spray. Promising reviews: "I love these wipes for my fiddle leaf fig tree. The wipes are scentless and have a good texture for getting the dust and grime off the leaves of your plants. They’re really convenient, and the packaging is pretty! Highly recommended." —MP "These are amazing, and they look and feel like they should be more expensive, LOL. There are a ton of wipes, and you could honestly cut them in half and do two plants. They stay wet for a long time, so you could wipe each leaf and it will still be damp. I usually wipe with pest prevention spray every six months or so, but this helps keep them clean in the meantime, and the ingredients are actually good for the leaves. Just get it; you'll love it!" —Luke Get a pack of 80 from Amazon for $16.99. Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great product...wish I had bought one sooner!" —Joanna Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.79. Promising review: "This is absolutely genius! This is the best product to hold your kids Legos! Any bigger and the bag would be to heavy to carry. I don’t understand what other reviews are saying about not having the top close, yes the top doesn’t zip but there is a zipper tucked nicely inside the bag so if it does fall over nothing comes out. Looks very nice in a bedroom, doesn’t look like a toy bin." —Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). There's a removable interior panel and a cat hole on the side that measures 8.9 by 10.3 inches. Promising review: "I agonized over which cat furniture to choose to hide my cat's litter box when moving to a smaller apartment space...I am happy I went with this one, which looks really nice. The instructions were surprisingly good and easy to follow; putting it together was simple. You can put the door on either side, and you can also leave out the middle part to fit a larger box." —Wynne Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in seven colors, with or without a top that opens, and an extra-tall style). Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had it for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer Get a four-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles). Promising reviews: "If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! I have been on the hunt for jeans for so long, and I finally found them." —Zoë Van den Berg "This is one of my favorite pairs of jeans. I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. I am usually a 32 and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it’s longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to tighten the waist. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color." —Peace Get it form Amazon for $50.97+ (available in women's sizes 24–34 and seven denim styles). You also get six free months of access to 1:1 chats with certified sleep consultants (and other premium features) — after that, it's behind an optional subscription that costs $6.99/month or $69.99/year. Promising review: "We’ve used the Hatch every day for a few months now and it’s one of the few baby purchases I’d recommend as a MUST for a newborn. The white noise and night light combo has made bedtime feel calmer, and the app control is what really sets it apart. I really love the insights that the app provides about sleep for all stages of life. It’s helpful as a first-time parent! The moment it won me over was the first time our baby was finally asleep and I realized the volume was just slightly too loud. Not enough to wake them, but enough to make me worry I’d regret it later. Instead of creeping into the room and risking a creaky door, I turned it down from my couch on the app. Baby stayed asleep, and I felt like I’d pulled off a tiny miracle. Same goes for the opposite if we’re watching a loud movie and don’t want to wake up our baby. The sound quality is excellent, the light is perfect for middle-of-the-night feeds without blasting the whole room, and the scheduling feature makes it easy to keep a consistent routine. It’s not the cheapest sound machine, but after four months of daily use, it’s been reliable and completely worth it." —Joseph Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in four colors). Because they're flexible, they're also a bit harder to break! Promising reviews: "I WILL NEVER NEED ANOTHER CLAW CLIP AGAIN. This is perfect! I have medium-thick straight medium-long hair, and it holds it all tightly all day long. It is so comfortable, I can wear it while lying on the couch without it digging into my scalp. I've been using it for a few months, and it hasn't broken, like some clips I've had in the past. I don't even wear my old claw clips anymore; this is my go-to! The price is worth it, trust me! And I love the peace of mind I have while wearing it in the car; the flexibility should stop it from getting crushed into my skull if I'm ever in an accident, unlike solid metal clips." —Julia V. "This is the most comfortable hair clip I’ve ever used. My heavy, curly hair usually causes the clip to droop or I have to dig it into my scalp to make it stay. I pressed my head back into my car seat and there is no pain since the tines fold into itself and not my head. I will definitely buy in every color. Completely worth the price." —Melissa Fleischman Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in 12 colors and packs with charms). Promising review: "This product is genius! I LOVE it!! Seriously, I hate putting my sock matches together, and as a wearer of colorful ones, it’s kind of important that I pair them up after the wash! Now I don’t have to! I would totally recommend this to anyone who hates playing the match game, or anyone who loses socks in the washing machine or dryer vortex!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
