Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day, and it seemed to work SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews, and about 99% of them had great results.
I've only used this bracelet twice, but both times I was outside and untouched. Delivery was very quick so that was a plus. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hypersensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive.

The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Girlies with dark under-eyes, probs like myself, need to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better, in my opinion!! It’s very pigmented and covers a blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer.
It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months.
A little dab goes a long way. It’s extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love.
I’m a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" — Caitlin Newcomb Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades).

I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else.

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! Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97 .

After applying and drying, moisturize. " — Sandy G Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in multipacks).

Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget.

Reviewers note that these work best if you put them somewhere the flies are already attracted to — these will definitely trap them, but they won't attract them on their own. Promising review: "I had a HUGE fruit fly issue after I found a rotting lemon that had called behind a bread box.
I paid $20+ for the liquid fly traps, but nothing worked. I ordered these sticky fly traps, and within two days, the sticky traps caught 50+ fruit flies, and I don’t have any more fruit flies. These were the least expensive options I tried and worked the best.
I HIGHLY recommend!!!" — Lisa Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $5.39 (available in 20 styles and packs). 14.

Promising review: "If I could give this lip mask 100 stars, I would. What is there not to love about this product? It's beyond moisturizing and quite soft as you put it on, like butter. The scent has me perplexed.
Not sure that's the correct word to use. I know that scent. It reminds me of something from the '70s or '80s.
The scent takes me back, but to where I do not know. AAAA++++, it's a must-buy !" — Stina Get it from Amazon for $7 . 15.
A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. I bought this and love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, 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.
I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular. Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you nights be sore like I was.
It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — AN Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.91 .

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.

My hair has been thinning and falling out a lot. There is a prescription shampoo that is over $100, and it used to be the only thing that worked. I thought I'd give this a shot before placing another order with the pharmacy, and so far, it seems to have a similar effect, plumping and strengthening the existing strands while addressing the problems with new growth.
The new fuzzies are visible again at the hairline, always a good sign." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $11.95 .

A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so easy to use that all you have to do is stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll the bag, and watch all the excess air get squished out of them until your clothes magically shrink. Yes, maybe it's only a weekend trip, but some of us need OPTIONS!! HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn't quite believe it.
I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home.
I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny. Psst — just note that airlines will still enforce weight limits , so don't fly TOO close to the sun packing these up!! Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.97 .

Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket.
The portable chargers take about 30–35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." — J Get it from Amazon for $19.

I was so happy to finally be able to wear all the shirts I own that are not black!" — Nes172011 "It works! Really does.
Follow the instructions and you won’t be disappointed. Small downside I have experienced is it makes my underarms itchy that first night. I would say the protection lasts three to four days 100%, then slowly drops off to about ten percent on that seventh day .
I am absolutely buying this again. (From a guy that has tried everything possible.)" — Kyle Moran Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.
73 . 39. A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers designed so that one side of them cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grime, and the other side whitens them, restoring your sneakers and their soles to their former glory.
Take THAT, passage of time. Check out a TikTok of the SneakErasers in action. Promising review : "I have a couple pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy.
Just couldn't justify throwing them away though, because they were still in great shape and not very old. I came across these sponges and took a chance. They work like a charm.
I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome. " — Spencer Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $11.98 .
40. A lightweight, hypoallergenic heat-absorbing cooling blanket with two sides — one made with 100% Egyptian cotton, and the other made with a cooling fabric designed to instantly cool your body by 4 to 9 degrees. They turned Elsa into a blanket, y'all ❄️.
Promising review: "WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS??? I have never once felt a blanket that constantly keeps you cool? I am ALWAYS hot, but I love to be under blankets. This is the PERFECT blanket to keep from overheating. It feels like athletic-type material.
Must buy!!!" — Kenzie Get it from Amazon for $28.79+ (available in four sizes and eight colors). 41.
A set of "wine wands" to remove sulfates and histamines from your beloved cheap Pinots in as little as three minutes, basically making "not getting a hangover" your new superpower. PureWine is a small business that specializes in wine accessories. Read more about sulfite allergies and wine at Cleveland Clinic .
Promising review: "What a difference these have made in my life. With my allergies, it was impossible to enjoy a glass or two of wine without nasty side effects: stuffy nose, red face, and headaches. Now, I can have a glass of wine and not have to dart to a package of antihistamines! Makes a great gift.
Even thinking of splitting a box into stocking stuffers. Each wand is individually wrapped. Have purchased these several times and will continue to do so.

A jewelry-cleaning stick with cleansing solution on a brush designed specifically to get in the nooks and crannies of your jewelry, so you can dig out all the grime that's accumulated over the years on the cheap instead of taking it to the jeweler. Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try.
My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday, and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik.
My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many, many years ago . I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $9.
48 . 43. A bottle of wood polish to instantly make your scuffed-up doors, hardwood floors, and furniture look so spanking new that you'll wonder if it's not actually wood polish but a time machine.
Why get new tables or fancy professional restoration when you've got a $9 secret weapon?? Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough.
This stuff was like a Magic Eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new.
I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." — Kris Get a bottle from Amazon for $4.
