Promising review: "Great fan. Used while in Disney over the summer, and it was strong and lasted all day. I really like that it tells you the percentage of the battery, so I could judge how much longer I had to use it while we were out in the heat all day. There were a couple of days I used it all day on various speeds and still had 25% left by the time we got to our room at night. Great battery power. Small enough to carry or wear with the strap around your neck. Strong air flow, and it wasn’t loud. I would buy again." —AWright

Promising review: "We purchased three of these neck fans for a summer trip to Greece. I really like that the fans have a display with the battery charge percent as well at the fan speed setting. There are three speed settings. Recharging was easy with the included cable that plugs into any USB outlet or converter. The fans are lightweight, easy to use, relatively quiet, and comfortable to wear. They kept working for hours while we toured ruins in the hot sun." —Jarrid Z.

Promising review: "I have been carrying these with me everywhere I go for over a year. It's easy to throw a couple in a pocket or a handful in your bag on the way out the door. They take up virtually no space. Since each individual portion of Purell is completely self-contained, I can keep them in my car during the Arizona summer with no chance of heat expansion or evaporation. Also, a must for travel! Every time I share them with friends, they order some for themselves. Such a smart product!" —ML

You simply apply to clean, dry, hair-free skin, and press firmly. It's good for 8–12 hours of wear (so, a fun day at the beach!). They're waterproof, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, vegan, latex-free, and paraben-free.

Promising review: "This was one of my best purchases for my international trip. Traveling there aren’t many opportunities to charge your phone but this enabled my phone to stay fully charged the entire day and night. I was able to text, make calls, take videos and photographs without worrying that my phone would die. Fast too charge, small and easy to carry in small purse or pocket. Always keep on hand." —Tenyca

My mom got me this for college, and it truly has been a battery lifesaver. It's so small and doesn't take up too much room in my little black bag when I'm going out with my friends. 

Promising review: “This little battery is great for the purse or wallet for when your phone or electronic device needs more power. It is truly the size of a credit card and about 1/16” thick. I keep it with me everywhere I go.“ —C MCSWAIN

Get it from Amazon for $44.96+ (available in three colors). 

Psst — you should definitely "patch test" this on a small area of skin before putting it on to ensure you don't have any reaction! 

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok, and I decided to give it a shot since it was only like $20 for 10 wipes (that's 10 weeks, 2.5 months) of no underarm sweat. It worked! I was so happy to finally be able to wear all the shirts I own that are not black!" —Nes172011

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months).

Promising review: "A friend of mine told me about these. Brilliant, I can't believe I lived without them for so long! I've been wearing all black on business trips forever because I got tired of stained white top syndrome. The three-pack is perfect: one at home, one in the office, one in my travel bag." —Cathy

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.13.

Promising review: "I walk a lot at night and these bracelets are keeping the mosquitoes at bay! Good product, and it does perform well in bug-central Florida." —C. Cole

Promising review: "There’s probably not too much one can say about a traveling hairbrush, but this one is really smartly designed and well-made. Does not take up a lot of room, and the hinge is good quality, so the item stands up to repeated use. It just does not feel flimsy like other travel hairbrushes." —B. H. 

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 13 colors). 

Promising review: "I never knew what we were missing! My kids HATE putting sunscreen on their faces, but are more than fine grabbing this stick and rubbing it all over! No issues with burning, even in the pool at the height if the sun. Plus, it smells as amazing as the rest of the Sun Bum products! It's a staple around here now!" —LC Ole

Promising review: "In love with this lip gloss, it stays on for SO long so it’s very dependable for any outdoor adventure, plus I love the glow it gave my lips — definitely a must-have item in any summer makeup or skincare kit, plus it’s so small you can even carry it in your pocket!!" —Liz R

Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in five shades). 

Promising review: "Perfect, affordable, useful. Comes in attractive carrying case. Has a protective sleeve. Opens to a good size." —Holly West

Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products. 

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy. I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine medication since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again!

Promising review: "I saw this featured on TikTok and decided to give it a try. It really does work! I have oily skin on my forehead, around my nose, and chin. One swipe in each of the areas and [the] oily, shininess was gone. A must-have in your purse." —Maria S.

Promising review: "Sun Juice Body Mist Sunscreen SPF 30 is one of those rare finds that actually makes sunscreen easy. It smells really good (like, no sunscreen dread), goes on light, and doesn’t leave that sticky, “why did I do this” feeling behind. The real win? My teen daughter doesn’t fight me on using it. At all. If you have a teenager, you know that’s basically a miracle. It’s quick to spray on, feels nice on the skin, and doesn’t make her feel greasy or gross—so she actually uses it without an argument." —Wendy P.

Get it from Kopari for $20 (available in four scents). 

The toothbrush's liquid gel toothpaste is different from regular toothpaste since it minimizes foam production so you don't even need to rinse after brushing. This little tool is a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, toothpick, and tongue scraper all in one! 

Promising review: "Freshee is terrific! Anytime you need to refresh/impress! This device offers the ability to brush and floss your teeth on the go; I use it at work or when traveling. The built-in toothpick and tongue scraper are nice additions that really help me feel refreshed on the go! It fits easily into pants pocket or suit coat pocket and is sturdy and durable." —Antonio Abrego

Get 24 individually wrapped toothbrushes from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three styles). 

Promising review: "Quality is great, these are a lifesaver working in the summer with a bunch of gear on, and they keep you cool for a while. All you do is add water, wring it out, and you’re good to go. Comfortable to drape over your neck or head while working outdoors or exercising. The amount of towels you get for your money is great. The size of them is good." —Alexis Gonzalez

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in nine color sets). 

Promising review: "These are great for travel and when you’re at a poorly stocked public bathroom (or behind a tree, whatever the case may be). It is also great for hand-washing and removing sunscreen in a pinch. They are even gentle enough for the face. Good size and thickness.  I have made a lot of people’s day by having these on hand…" —K. Bee

Get a pack of 30 individually wrapped wipes from Amazon for $13.99 (available int three scents and a 90-pack). 

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. 

Promising review: "Wow. I took this on vacation, during which we walked about 20,000 steps daily. And, of course, my shoes begin to rub against parts of my feet, terribly. But I smeared this on, and it was amazing. I did have to reapply a few times a day, in public, but I highly recommend this!! I used it on my toes, ankle area, etc., and my feet felt great (normal)." —Y.

FYI, for the travel Tower 28 SOS spray, it's $12 for 1 ounce where as this is $9.99 for 2 ounces — so even in the travel department you're still saving and getting more bang for your buck!

Promising review: "This is the best product ever! I’ve always been an excessive sweater my whole life. As you know, that can lead to being stinky. I can spray this on my face, arms, and chest after a workout in the afternoon on a hot day, then go back to work without worrying about stinking up the place. Helps to neutralize the bacteria that causes you to smell." —Celinas 

Promising review: "This product feels like whipped cream. So smooth and silky. Not greasy. Smells delicious and not oily. I applied it for the first time after a day at the pool, and it was just what my skin needed. Very happy with the product." —Aimee Brunson

Promising review: "I got absolutely FRIED at the beach this past weekend and tried everything under the sun (literally) to provide some relief for my sunburn. I was in so much pain, and every over-the-counter aloe gel, lidocaine, and cold shower was not helping. I found this wrap on my TikTok and immediately bought it. As soon as I put this on my burn, I was immediately relieved of any burning or irritation. I am wearing four patches right now, and I plan on wearing them all day, every day until this burn heals. I will say the only downside is they slip off the aloe has worn off! And it is a little bit hard to maneuver to cut since it is so slippery. But overall, I love this product and will be a forever customer!" —Nick

Psst, it comes in a mini size perfect for your bag!

Promising review: "This setting spray locks my makeup in. Great for menopausal women too because the makeup doesn't fade off.  I sweat on my forehead and nose area, and my makeup stays on all day." —shelop

Get it from Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes).

Shakalo is a small business based in San Diego.

Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1–2 times a week. And I even use it on my dog's paws and bellies to ensure they're taken care of too. I will definitely be buying the refill and another bag to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti

Promising review: "Absolutely excellent. I’ve taken this to the beach three times now, and it’s awesome. Absolutely massive, and sand doesn’t stick to it. Sure, if you step on it with sandy feet or push sand onto it, it’ll sit on top, but it just brushes off or shakes off without working for it at all. Ideal fabric for lying out at the beach. Great value, a must-have!" —	Amazon Customer
