Why suffer in silence when you can be *loudly* comfortable?

As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

Prefer briefs? Check out this similar seamless design with rave reviews!

Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, which seems like forever ago, and tried every “seamless” thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren’t that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don’t hold sweat. They don’t roll. They don’t move around.  I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I’ve washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They’re wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I’ve ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong with them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they’re my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don’t exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It’s sorcery, I’m convinced." —Ebony

Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.98 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and eight color combos).

Promising review: "I was extremely skeptical about this product actually working at first. I saw this on TikTok and started reading the comments, which were all positive reviews, so I decided to try. Let me just say I no longer have to awkwardly run to the bathroom after my fiancé and I do the dirty. This product works!" —brittany simmons

And if you're more of a shirt and shorts kind of person, I got chu — here's a similar style for only $19.99.

Promising review: "I get night sweats and overheat very easily. This nightgown was a lifesaver. Keeps me cool, and the fabric is slippery but sturdy too. I wash this with either my undies on hot or my colors on cold, and it comes through without problems. I love it so much, I bought three more in various colors and am looking forward to getting another for Christmas!" —ShortySmak

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4XL and 34 colors).

Promising review: "So glad I bought these. Flying usually makes me terribly nauseous. These helped so much! You need to find the right pressure point, and they are really tight. Other than that, 5 stars." —T. Schneider

Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53+ (available in four colors and packs of one or two).

Promising review: " I absolutely love this little pouch! 💕 It’s so cute and fun, and the chenille lettering makes it stand out. The clear design makes it easy to see what’s inside, and the zipper works smoothly. It’s perfect for carrying small essentials, makeup, accessories, or anything else you want to keep organized. Such a cute and useful purchase! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" —Lisa

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in eight colors and 11 other variations). 

Promising review: "I've been using Hood to Go for years, but my one complaint was wind--the hood wouldn't stay on my head in the slight gust. This new version with a string to tighten the hood around my face is 100% better! I love turning anything I'm wearing into a rain coat!" —Laura H

YAAAALLLL! This cream literally changed my life as a lifetime member of the Thick Thigh Posse! It leaves such a silky matte finish between your thighs that feels so divine when wearing shorts or dresses. Trust that I have tried many, many products to beat chafing, and this is by far one of my top faves.

Promising review: "This is the holy grail of no chafing!!! I live by this in the summer, or anytime I have to wear swimsuits, shorts, dresses, or skirts. Goes on easily and does not feel greasy or gross on your thighs. It's unscented, so no strange smells. It also lasts for a long time — lasted all day for a Disney Trip. Best working stuff I have found, works much better than products that are in a deodorant stick style. I will never be without this chafing cream, even my husband has used this!" —aberfitchgr534

Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (also available in a pack of four or 24).

Promising reviews: "I’ve tried many thigh saver type under garments. These are the best ones! Silky so they don’t stick to your clothes, comfy, not shape wear, just comfort." —Heidi M.

"These thigh savers are a must for summer dress season. They are light, comfortable and fabric doesn’t stick or ride up ever. I have them in sand as well. Love them!" —Maggie D.

I finally got to try one of these out when I was staying at someone's house for several days, and I literally have one being delivered tomorrow. I really meant it when I said having a great poop can just put so much pep in your step, and this thing allows it to just fall right out of you. It's amazing! Easily one of my best purchases this year.

Promising review: "I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." —P.W.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in a pack of two and five). For a more ~aesthetic~ throne, splurge on the acrylic version for $79.99 or the bamboo wood version for $39.99. You can also check out the Squatty Potty storefront for more variations, colors and travel stools!

Shaperx is a small business that specializes in supportive, compressive bodysuits in a variety of styles.

Promising reviews: "Comparing this to the Skims bodysuit. The size and fit is accurate for this shapewear and way more comfortable than Skims while still contouring my figure. The price is amazing, and [it] shapes my chest nicely; there is no flattening going on, and no need for a bra because this suit holds them well. Because of the shaping strength, it is a bit hard to get on, but that’s just a plus in my eyes once it’s on. Will be ordering different colors!!!" —Mina

"Like you probably did, I found this on TikTok. I was like, hey, it's $40, I have a gift card, let's try it. I received it in the mail, and it is 1/8 the width of my body. I thought: there is NO WAY. Dear reader, it fits INCREDIBLY. It's COMFY. It's not restricting! I've already purchased more. I love this. 10/10." —Allie Lawler

Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–4XL and eight colors).

Promising review: "I love to use these after shaving! Since I have sensitive skin, it doesn’t irritate me and actually soothes my skin keeping razor burns or bumps away. It doesn’t have a harsh or intense smell. It mainly just smells like facial cleanser if that makes sense. It’s easy to use. Applies great on the skin. Definitely worth the money. I would say depending on how consistent you are with using this, get the larger quantity." —Rae Chizer

Get a set of 28 pads from Amazon for $18 (also available in a larger size). 

This stuff is used in a lot of high-end salons, too. So, you'll save a lot of coins when you consider all the trips not taken to get professional waxed. You'll need a heater to warm up the wax — lots of reviewers mention using this one!

Promising reviews: "I don't like shaving my unibrow because I'm lazy and don't want to shave every other day. I used to tweeze all my unibrow hairs one by one; now I use this, which makes life so much easier. What used to take 15 minutes every week now takes one minute. I still tweeze the edges for accuracy, but this helps take out the entire center of the unibrow in one go, which is 90% of the work." —Ammar

"Holy crap. Please listen to this review. This is the best and easiest-to-use wax I have ever tried. It dries super quickly, and when it dries, it creates a vacuum seal around the hair. It does not stick to the skin in the slightest and cuts the pain down by 75%. I would pay $150 dollars for this stuff because it is so good." —Amanda

BuzzFeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, recommends these *very* highly: "I have been buying a new set of these every year since 2020, and they have kept my VERY blister- and chafing-prone feet snug and moisture-wicked on every single long run. They've essentially phased out any of my other socks, because they're extremely comfortable to boot. As a runner who often clocks in 25+ miles a week and often in some "yikes!" summer heat, I cannot recommend these socks enough." 

Promising review: "These socks are designed perfectly for running socks. The bottoms and toes are thick, the tops are thin, the lower heel is reinforced, the heel top has a tab that provides extra cushion on the Achilles, where some shoes like to wear into you. The size is true to fit.  I've purchased many packs of these, and they are the best I've tried." —SmokeyBear

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in 12 color combos and unisex sizes S–XL).

Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you, thank you, thank you!" —Niko

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in white or a multicolor pack). 

Fresh Body is a small business that specializes in personal care products. 

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I am a sweaty person. Apparently I have no thermostat because randomly I will just start sweating and it's a lot. Well, I ended up with yeast under my breasts, and it gets red and sore. After you shower, dry off real well and apply this cream (a little dab will do ya) under your breasts and say goodbye to the inflammation and soreness. I also use in down there region too. I will be buying this forever." —Deb Warwick

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in a pack of two, three or four).

Promising review: "I use this religiously at work every afternoon as a pick-me-up when my skin starts to feel hot, flushed, and dry from the stale office air. I also live in Utah, where the air is extra dry anyway. This feels so fresh and light. It calms my skin right down and gives me a little much-needed moisture and glow. And if you just do a light mist and let it completely dry naturally, it won't interfere with your makeup either; no smudging or running." —Angela Thompson

Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

Promising review: "This product is gentle on the skin, but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps like a rash or breakout can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering...I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." —Billie B 

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in a pack of two or three and within three combo packs).

They're great to keep in your gym bag for a post-workout pick-me-up if you don't have time to shower.

Promising review: "These are excellent for travel and camping. I appreciate that they have no odor and are gentle enough for my sensitive skin." —Cherise

Get a pack of 50 (five packs with 10 wipes each) from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a 10-pack or 20-pack of 10 wipes and in an 80-count individual sheet pack).

Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin, or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Vicky Reyes

Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $8.87 (also available in packs of two or four).

Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." —Dragonheart Jo

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in eight other scents).

You can actually even use it to replace your alarm clock by setting it to arouse you with a gentle warming that can trigger your body to wake up naturally!

I have been trying this out for the last few weeks, and Y'ALL — when I tell you this has been a GAME CHANGER! So, the air conditioning system at my house is currently broken, and it's going to take some time before my partner and I have the money to get it replaced. We have a swamp cooler in the main part of our house that actually does an amazing job at keeping us cool, but our bedrooms can still feel like a sauna at night. I have some Cozy Earth cooling sheets that have been incredible, but there's only so much sheets can do on their own. But lemme tell you, when we got the Chilipad on... I set it to 68, and it was the first night all summer where I had to get a blanket because I was SO cold!! It's actually unbelievable to me how warm the room can be, but as soon as I lie on the Chilipad, it's literally like having AC coming through the bed. And trust, it won't feel like you're sleeping on a waterbed from the '90s. You can sometimes hear/feel the water cycling through the pad (but it's very faint and not disruptive).

And I also love that you can set it to different temps throughout the night. Having it be a lil' warm when it's time to get up is such an incredible feeling. If you love to bed rot, this will literally make you never want to leave. I can't wait to use this when the temps drop, too. Just note that you can only use distilled water, but the tank lasts you for quite a while — I believe we refilled around two or three weeks after first filling. And then you will also want to buy their cleaning solution. The brand recommends running a cleaning cycle once a month and then doing a deep clean where you empty out the water pads and wash the cover every six months.

Get it from Sleepme for $1599+ (available in two models, for one or two sleepers, and in sizes Twin XL–Cal King).

Bonus: It has a heating mode that warms like a sauna for the winter and is great for sleepers with chronically cold feet.

BedJet is a small business that creates climate control bed systems.

Promising review: "After using this for over a year, I can confidently say this is one of the BEST purchases I’ve made for comfort and sleep. It is DEFINITELY worth the price! Treat Yourself 🎁 I originally bought it because I run hot at night and night sweats started (not fun!), especially during warmer months, and it has made a noticeable difference in how quickly I fall asleep and how comfortable I stay throughout the night. What stands out most is how fast it works. You don’t have to wait for the whole room to cool down — you can feel the airflow almost immediately, which is a game-changer when you’re trying to fall asleep. I also really appreciate how customizable it is. You can adjust the airflow and temperature settings to fit exactly what your body needs, whether you sleep hot, cold, or somewhere in between. I prefer the remote, and I can say it DOES save on energy bills. I’m an accountant, and with my OCD, I had to check! After a full year of use, it’s still working just as well as when I first got it, which was important to me given the price.

The remote makes it simple to adjust settings without using my phone (though you can if you want). If you wonder what it feels like — the air blows into the Bedjet sheet and provides a cooling feel on you. The fan is like a sound machine to me which I 💗 love. Not too loud and just right! If you struggle with sleeping hot, night sweats or want better control over your sleep environment, this is one of those purchases that is worth it over time. This has more than paid for itself especially now that my night sweats have hit with a vengeance!!This is one of the few products I’ve used that has genuinely improved my sleep. I Love it! I highly recommend this product! It’s worth every penny!! ✨" —Renee

Promising review: "I have tried numerous pillows over the years with only one or two I would really call good. This pillow is GREAT. Not only is it just as advertised, but I would say even better. I fluffed this for a good 48 hours before use by following instructions, and even flipping it over a few times during the 48-hour period. It was like a cloud from heaven and still is after a solid week and a half of use. There is no doubt that if I fluffed it a little more, it would all bounce back, but I love where it has settled in at this point. It is the perfect blend of firmness, softness, and support. I believe it has even had some noticeable cooling effects as well that I have always thought was near impossible to actually do for me, especially because I am super hot-natured. With the quality of the material, removable case, etc. I imagine this pillow will last a very long time. I am going to be ordering more for everyone in the house as well as for our guest room." —jesse76450

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available with one-sided or double-sided cooling, in packs of one or two, and sizes standard through king; also available as a body or camping pillow).

Promising review: "I've been debating buying this clip for months now, but could not justify what seemed to be the outrageous price for a hair clip. I finally decided to just try it, and Oh. My. Gosh! I am so glad I did! This clip is fantastic! I can sit in my recliner, and I can drive my car without issue. I have long, fine hair, but A LOT of it. I also have a ridiculously sensitive scalp and struggle with ways to keep the hair up off the back of my neck without either it pulling and scalp pain or getting a headache. This clip solves that problem. It holds all of my hair up, the entire day, with zero scalp pain or headache or even just tension on my hair. I could probably take a nap wearing it. Yes, it is expensive for a hair clip. But I have spent far more than the price of it searching for something that actually works in my hair. THIS THING DOES!" —Mrs.JCM

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in 11 colors and with or without charms).

Its portable size also makes it great to bring to the office, on a plane, or anywhere else you might be sitting for long periods of time. Some reviewers note that if you identify as plus-size, this might not feel as comfortable. So, here's a larger alternative, too!

Promising review: "I got this as we frequently drive long distances in a straight shot (made the 14-hour trip home from Canada last night, and the trip up there five days prior). I found this to be amazing for my needs (chronic back, hip, and tailbone issues). I am a small person and thought the size was good. Someone much larger may feel it’s too small or doesn’t provide the support they might need. I do have to constantly adjust, but I have to do that in ANY seat. Those are my issues. But I cannot IMAGINE making that trip WITHOUT it! It’s especially nice on bumpy or uneven terrain. It is memory foam, so if it is colder, it will be super firm at first. It does warm up and soften up after a few minutes. I would buy it again with ZERO hesitation!" —Debbie C.

Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and three variations).

Promising review: "This is awesome! I bought it to take on an overseas trip to Greece. We — meaning me — unwisely booked flights that took 30 hours to get to Athens, Greece. That being said, this was a lifesaver. It was comfortable, and I loved being able to configure it the way I wanted for sleeping in the plane seats, and it supported my neck well to help me sleep. The design for that is high marks! The size is also good as I was able to put it in my backpack carry-on everywhere during our 30-hour sojourn. There was no smell to it when I opened it — thank goodness! I also noticed it did not make me hot as some will." —l houwers

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes, five color options, a 360-support option and with a travel blanket).

Promising reviews: "I wasn't sure what to expect with this neck fan, but I'm a huge fan now. I overheat pretty badly in the Florida humidity and this fan has been lovely. I've used it on jobs, around the house, or just to cool off after a game of tennis. It has plenty of power, the battery lasts a good amount of time and honestly it's a lot better than standing underneath one of our ceiling fans. It works so well my wife wants her own one now. :)" —Nicholas Bath

"I love this fan, I overheat really easily and it keeps me cool while I am at work. The battery lasts several hours on high and my entire 7–8-hour shift on low. If you have a portable charger, though, you can still use it while it’s plugged in. My only complaint is that the button is easy to press accidentally, so I have unknowingly drained the battery with it sitting in my backpack." —Genieva

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: My feet STANK in my new shoes that probably had bad ventilation. I started using this, and my feet don’t stank now when I get home after a 12-hour shift. Not only does it work, but it also smells good." —erika

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

Get it from Amazon for $5.48 (also available in a pack of two).

Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has this to say about them: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" 

Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $12.91. 

Promising reviews: "I love everything about these boots. They are well made, very fashionable, and comfortable. I was a little concerned about the height of the heel being uncomfortable but I wore them to work all day and didn't have any problems with my feet hurting. Very happy with my purchase!" —momtojsh

"I have wide feet, so I am always scared to buy boots because they tend to be too tight on my feet and hurt after a while. But I ordered my normal size in these boots and they fit perfectly! I’m glad to finally have a pair of boots that don’t suffocate my feet." —Bethany Shaffer

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.

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 since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Promising review: "I used these under my wedding dress recently because we decided to get married in June…in the desert…and heat. Plus, my dress was several layers, so I was afraid I was going to have a heat stroke from walking across the room. Enter: these patches! I put one vertically on the back of my neck (my half-up hairstyle covered the patch well), one on my lower back, and one on each hip under my chub-rub shorts. They stayed on for the whole 45-minute ceremony, the one-hour photo session after, and the entire four-hour reception, and I was able to regulate my temperature despite all the fabric on my dress. Not the usual use for these, but bride's gotta do what a bride's gotta do haha." — AmandaG

Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shaken a hand outside of mine ever before in his life...it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple of weeks went by and I came across this product. I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on, and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high-fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now, and it is working AMAZING." —HECTOR LORENZO

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents and packs of two or three).

Reviewers note that fast-food napkins work best when refilling this holder over regular-sized facial tissues that seem to be longer and can be harder to pull out.

Promising review: "As a parent of two energetic toddlers, I can’t emphasize enough how much this tissue holder has transformed our daily outings. With little ones in tow, spills, sneezes, and sticky fingers are par for the course. Having tissues readily accessible in the car has been a game changer. No more frantic searches for napkins or wipes — just a quick pull from the tissue holder! The sleek leather design adds a touch of sophistication to our car interior. It’s not just functional; it’s also a chic accessory. Plus, the rectangular shape fits neatly on the sun visor, making it easy to grab tissues without taking our eyes off the road. In summary, this is a must-have for parents on the go. It’s practical, stylish, and sanity-saving. Trust me, you won’t know how you survived without it!"  —Veronica Smith

Get it from Amazon for $9.79+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "These are perfect to take when traveling, because you never know if you’re gonna come across a nasty bathroom. They’re compact and they come in packs of 10, so they're small enough to put in your bag or even your pocket." —ChrisB_DZ

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. 

Check out a TikTok of the hand sanitizer in action.

For a long time, I didn't get the hype for this. I was like it's just hand sanitizer in an aesthetic case. Are people really going wild over a pretty case?! And don't even get me started on the price — I truly thought people had lost it. For those that don't know, certain scents are FSA eligible. So, I decided to take the plunge with my FSA bucks because my curious mind had to know and... WOW did I totally underestimate the magic that Touchland has bottled up. First, it smells AH-MAZING — it's truly like they bottled up a bouquet of roses. But what's really remarkable for me is the feel. It's super light and moisturizing, and doesn't leave behind that weird, drying sensation that other hand sanitizers do. I might not always have the money to shell out for it regularly, but it's definitely something I would spend the money on when I have it.

Promising reviews: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it’s pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it’s extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I’m especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feeling tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what’s not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R. 

"I love the light fragrance of this sanitizer and how it doesn’t dry my skin. Definitely will buy again." —Lindsey Ogden

Promising review: "Best thing ever. I work outdoors, and I use this for my job. Doesn’t require lots of water, either, but gets the job done. I actually bought it for my fishing trip and can’t wait to see how well it does." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four scents that includes unscented and up to a pack of three). 

I actually got this to compare with the sample of Laneige's lip sleeping mask that I got as my Sephora birthday gift, and I think this is an amazing, inexpensive alternative. I did like the Laneige mask better, but in this economy, I'm not always going to be able to shell out the money for it. So, I think E.l.f.'s version is an excellent backup, especially considering the price.

Promising review: "Hydrates even the driest lips in a 0% humidity New Mexico December. Works fast, smells good, and costs less than a lot of other products. This is my go-to for cracked, dry lips." —Molly Goehring

Promising review: "I can't believe how hydrating this is for how cheap it was. It smells/tastes lovely as well." —Venice De Carlo

SweatBlock is a small business that specializes in antiperspirant products. 

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: "Was pretty skeptical. Bought it and it’s changed my life. First use, and I did not sweat at all for probably a week. I had already been using Lume deodorant for a few years now and was looking for something else, as I felt I was building a resistance to it. I should’ve been using this to begin with. Second application, I applied to other areas of my body, with zero sweat. Amazed." —Hanna L. Hetz

Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. 

Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers." —Earendil
