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 TED Talk." —P.W.

Promising review: "Thank goodness for these pills. These are super fast-acting and so effective. I get so sick whenever I eat basically anything, and these have helped so much. I can take two in the morning, and I'm not in pain or sick all day if I eat. I'm ordering more ASAP." —Nerdy Chic

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

Promising review: "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." —WIAPilot 

Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart, so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped, but not for too long, and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated Band-Aids and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these Band-Aids every day for a week, and the next week, my wart is gone. So far, it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth. Highly recommend!" —J

Promising review: "I was hurting horribly, so I ordered this cream; I’d never used a cream before and always used a suppository. This product was a little pricey, but at this point, I didn’t care. I wanted relief! I now work remotely from home so this was affecting my job as I sit all day, and even using a donut wasn’t helping! This cream is great! It gave me fast relief and shrunk the external hemorrhoids! I will definitely purchase this again and keep on hand always! I wish I would have found this product before this time!" —Pam

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! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." —Niko

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 Sweat Block 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-count box from Amazon for $19.97 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

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 $24.99 (also available as a two-pack and various sets). 

Promising review: "Breathtakingly effective. WOW — This stuff REALLY works. I thought it was just another air freshener. It is not that at all. If you spray just one squirt in the toilet bowl BEFORE the room is stink-free. If you share a bathroom with someone, get this product!" —Dar Hum Bell

Get it from Amazon for $5.39+ (available in six sizes). 

Promising review: "I am one of those women who just hates those thick pads. I tried others that claimed good protection but found out very soon that they leaked. I want to know that I am protected from embarrassing situations. I am an older woman with urinary incontinence. It's bad enough being old and having all the problems old people go through, but add urine leakage and bad urine odor, and you see others turn away from you. These pads are exactly what I like. They are thin and fit comfortably, and you don't smell like you got a diaper on; no leaks and no discomfort." —Elaine Leith

Always consult with your doctor before taking medication and read more about loperamide solution like Immodium at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I can't survive without these things. I have quite a sensitive stomach and any greasy or spicy food works like Drano on my stomach. So if I know I'm going to have some food like that I'll use these to settle my stomach. Without these I would be stuck on the toilet for an hour or two. These things are a lifesaver to keep on you, and are essential for any home." —Reviewer

Promising review: "I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I’ve seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They’ve prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I’ve even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I’m talking itchy, like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I’d do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can’t seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I’m so glad I did." —Jackie

You can reuse them for up to two years! Set them out in the sun for an hour to re-activate the charcoal.

Promising review: "I have a pair of black leather flats that stank so badly my husband would yell at me if I took them off anywhere near him. But I love the shoes!!! So, I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. This was the answer. I honestly couldn’t believe it. A few days after placing them in my prised-off shoes, I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer. Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe that’s pushing things, but I’ve got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone. So happy!!!" —Erin

Promising review: "This product is a life changer. Your mouth feels so clean and helps so much with bad breath bacteria on your tongue. You will be surprised at what comes off while you scrape. HIGHLY recommend for dental hygiene." —Shelby

Get it from Amazon for $8.08 (available in two metals).

Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had and wouldn’t clear up or stop itching/hurting. 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 already these cold sores are healing up 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 15 from Amazon for $12.97 (also available in a pack of 30).

Promising review: "My boyfriend had very sweaty very smelly feet that would give him blisters. I would make him leave his shoes outside in the hall and he would sweat through his socks :( he would regularly have to throw out shoes for sweating through them. OMG CARPE SAVED THE DAY!!!! The first two days we weren’t sure it was working but with diligent application at night and in the morning it had AMAZING results. It’s like my boyfriend has brand new feet. Even on the hottest most humid days his feet socks and shoes are completely dry!!!! Only takes a small amount and it’s doesn't have any irritating scent. If you have smelly feet in your life buy this immediately!!!!" —Nthrivera

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available with or without an applicator). 

Promising review: "I PRAY we are never faced with lice in our house ever again, but if we do, I will 100000% purchase this product again! We’ve got long (and a lot of) hair in this house, and I was able to get several treatments out of this box. Highly recommend if you’re dealing with lice and need an effective treatment!" —Pete

Get it from Amazon for $18.88 (also available as a prevention formula and two-pack with both products).

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

Here's what my colleague Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." 

Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

Get a pair from Amazon for $8.49 (also available as a four-pack). 

Promising review: "The texture is soft and not sticky. As it is water-based, it is comfortable for the skin and easy to clean. It works well, provides good lubrication, and is compatible with latex condoms, which gives more peace of mind when using it." —Fabiana Lopez 

Get a 4 oz. bottle from Amazon for $5.97 (available in three sizes and as a two-pack).

Make sure to first wash your face with your favorite cleanser and one of the *included* silicone heads, using the "Cleaning" and "Ion+" mode. Then, with your skin still being wet, switch to "Lifting" mode and glide the stainless steel spatula over your face at a 45-degree angle to lift up the gunk in your pores. Afterwards, use the "Ion-" mode after applying your favorite skincare products so you can maximize the benefits!

Btw, each mode automatically turns off after five minutes so you don't overuse it!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Negesti Kaudo uses this: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!"

Promising review: "Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can’t reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." —Paige Chaney

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors).

The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs.

Reviewers swear it starts easing pain in days, and full correction happens over time.

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.

The kit includes 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 15 paper cups.

The hairs in your nose play an important role in filtering out any harmful debris. But of course it's your body, and if you want to wax your nose hairs, you're more than welcome to — just be careful, as plucking nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs.

Promising review: "I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of those pesky nose hairs...snag this product!!!" —Julie J.

Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in four kits).

Promising review: "This foot peel is THE TRUTH and got my feet right and smooth as butter! I’ve never done a foot peel in my life, and so I had a lot of hard skin under my foot to get rid of. I followed the instructions on the box, and decided to put on the foot peel on right before bed. You can feel the peel tingling and working while you have it on your feet so I felt relief. It took about three days after I did the peel to see the results starting. Do not get discouraged if you see peeling only at the toes. That’s just the start of it...cause the next day I felt the mid of my foot arch bubble after my bath and a whole piece of skin was peeling. This peel did its job and some more! It has my feet feeling baby smooth and gave me a feeling of being in a salon without the polish. It felt good to pamper myself. This is my go-to from now on, when I want a good smooth foot AFTER a pedicure (because a pumice stone can’t do what this peel can)!" —Shopinista

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents). 

The kit includes the washer bottle and three disposable tips. Using it is simple: Fill the bottle with your preferred ear-cleaning solution, attach the disposable tip, and then spray the cleaner into your ear. This will loosen up the wax and cause it to basically just fall right out of your ear!

Doctor Easy began 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who recognized the need for a better way to treat patients’ earwax impactions.

Promising review: "Gross photos. My husband has had many earwax impaction problems over the years, and until now, we have paid to have a professional remove them. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment, so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read, it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." —Tea

Promising review: "I get corns on the bottom of my foot. This has been going on for 30 years. I’ve tried all the pads sold in drug stores. None of those are anywhere as good as this brand. They stick to the skin very well, and the medication really works on the corns and the thickened skin around them. Well worth it." —Al Symbal

BTW, this is cruelty-free! It's suitable for all hair types, too.

Promising review: "I can finally skip a day or two between washes!! I’ve tried so many dry shampoos, from drugstores to salons, and none of them really worked for me. I can apply this product very sparingly on my scalp and easily skip a shampoo without feeling self-conscious or getting an itchy scalp. Must have for oily hair." —Dino

Get it from Amazon for $11.70+ (available in seven shades and in multipacks).
