Reduces the amount of heat in my car, steering wheel and surfaces are cool to the touch after a 90–100-degree day. Caution: When disconnecting, hang on to the tab and slowly put it back into the closed position. Otherwise, you will mess up the accordion folds.

Okay, I caved y'all 🫣. I bought it and have not a single dang regret. Stan is my bestie, my guy, and I am HY-DRA-TEDDDD.
I put stickers all over mine, and I love it so much. It's so cute, so pink, and so *me*. It's like my child.
My water stays cold all day, it fits into my car cup holder, and I'm meeting my water intake goals easily. I'm a fan. I want, *no no*, I need a couple more.
Ugh, I'm gonna be one of those Stanley cup collector girlies, and I'm not even mad. I resisted for as long as I could and then saw that they have lil' fanny packs for 'em *and* they had a pink one?! Pftt, I couldn't add it to my cart quick enough. I love itttt.
Now excuse me as I go buy straw toppers and all the other cute lil' accessories you can get for it. 🤗 Promising reviews: "I understand the hype. As I said, I would never get one.
Fast forward about a month, and I want another. These are great for work as they keep a large amount of water and ice close and all day to make sure I hydrate. I’m not one to really drink water, so having this at the ready is encouraging.
I love all the colors and the accessories you can find for these. Love!" — MamaOthree Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in 45 colors and five sizes). 6.

They fold up, so it's easy to tuck them away or hold them at different angles. They lasted ALL day with intermittent use. Let me tell you, this gal does not like being hot, and these things were a lifesaver! While they did sometimes run out of mist faster than I'd like, even just having the fan blowing on me helped me from feeling sick.
The three speed options were amazing and helped save the battery life. My whole family passed these around while standing in lines, and everyone liked them. Also, the mist is so fine and feels good without soaking your face.
Overall, I was really impressed." — KC Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "After I purchased three different mattress pads, this finally was the one! It kept me cool and no more sweating on those waterproof mattress pads. The other pads were like sleeping on plastic even though they said they'd keep you cool. Well worth the money for this beautiful, cool, cotton mattress pad that fits perfectly on my bed.

It did exactly what it says! The dry cooler box kept our sandwiches nice and cold! It held a good amount of drinks with 20 pounds of ice. After two days in the sun, there was still a bunch of ice left! Best purchase ever! Definitely recommend!" — Leanne Get it from Ninja for $249.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I got these to make ice cubes that I could fit into hot water bottles to make 'cold water bottles.
' I'm in the big heat wave, and it's been over 100 every day for the last week with no sign of it letting up any time soon. These are quick and easy and the cold water bottles have been the only thing helping me sleep in a room anywhere between 80–90 degrees at night. I love the lids! It makes my ice trays easy to stack and more secure.
I wish all ice trays came with lids like this!" — A.J. Stark Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.

Ice cream makes everything better, but you know what makes ice cream better? Sprinkles, of course! And this baby has two condiment containers that'll store your fave toppings. Promising review: "This is one awesome machine; we use it at least once a week and try new flavors and experiment all the time.
Very easy to use, cleaning is a breeze, and the taste and quality rival the big chains out there in soft serve land. This tastes much better because you can use all real ingredients — heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and the list is endless of what your flavors can be. Sometimes, we make so much we seal and freeze it for a later date (just take it out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes, and it's ready).
One of the best items I have ever purchased! In fact, I am down to only three containers of ice cream in the freezer...
gotta run and restock!!! You will enjoy this great machine, and the kids will love to help you make it and serve themselves. I give this 6 stars out of 5!!! " — UMCanes1972 Get it from Amazon for $145.53 .

It comes with 36 included recipes. Check out the soft-serve maker on TikTok . Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild.
But when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally, this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever.
It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." — DMCKAY Get it from Amazon for $35.99 .

No more nice, cool living room and blazing hot bedroom, which means a more balanced feel around your house *and* a lower energy bill.
It features a programmable LCD controller with a heating and cooling thermostat and automated fan speeds. Promising review: "My home was generally too hot in the summer and a bit cooler than I liked in the winter. Now, with this product, the entire house is much more balanced — upstairs and downstairs.
In the winter, after my HVAC system shuts off, the unit continues to run as long as the duct continues to put out heat. In the summer, the unit puts out cold air upstairs event though the HVAC system is off — making upstairs bedrooms very, very comfortable for an afternoon nap. Setup is not difficult.
Best of all, my energy bill went down. I was concerned that it would go up since these units are plugged into a receptacle; but, the units appear to be 12 or 24 volt units (low amperage). Bottom line, an outstanding product that I feel is well worth the money I spent.

A Burt's Bees after-sun soother because getting sunburned sucks and the aftereffects aren't any better. The aloe and coconut oil will work their magic to help soothe your bod. Oh, and reviewers love that it isn't greasy and absorbs quickly into the skin.
Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into the skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and you can immediately put on clothes after application.
A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!) Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Even if it does peel later on, it’s minimal compared to what it would be and look like if I had not used this sun soother. I don’t burn easily and love this product; my husband is as fair as they come and it’s his favorite sunburn solution as well.
Highly recommend!" — Jessie Patterson Get it from Amazon for $10.07 (also available in a three-pack). 15.

These are perfect for all those sheer, backless, and strapless tops you've been dying to pull out, andddd they aren't all lumpy, so they won't make your tatas look weird. Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc — nothing budges them), but then they also peel off so easily. It’s magic.
They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold do any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it’s minimal.
They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. I will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras! " — Alison Get a set from Amazon for $26.

Perfect summer pants! A little baggy but they're very adjustable so you can make them fit how you like. 😎" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL, kid's sizes 6–11 years, and in 25 colors).

It’s much deeper and bigger than I expected . I’m 5’8 and can very comfortably extend all the way across and float without hitting the sides. The seat is so comfortable and can fit three people easily.
We had six adults in the pool the other day and it did not feel crowded at all. We blew it up with an air mattress pump and got a cover for it. I’m pregnant and wanted somewhere to cool down and float comfortably during the summer.
This will also be a great pool for kids! Extremely happy we went with this one. Highly recommend." — Morgan Barry "I buy one of these every year because the price is so low.
I set it on my deck, and it sits four adults very comfortably. My one friend is 6'6 and sits, legs fully stretched, and never touches the other end . Water level is to his chest and it's perfect for chilling out with friends.
Highly recommended, however caution as it is deep for little ones. Must stay and watch them." — Linda B Get it from Amazon for $50.

I had never used one and thought I'd give it a try. After using it for a couple of weeks now, I absolutely love it!! I no longer struggle to meet my daily water goals. Just pop some fruit and/or herbs in and I'm good to go.
The bottle is very sturdy, and I don't have to worry about it leaking. I would definitely recommend this." — Linda L.

No need to try and sneak the ones from the hotel into your bag when ya have these bad boys. Promising review: "These had great reviews, but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob.
I usually require about three pillows for just myself, not including my husband. I like to sleep propped up a bit so my sinuses don't get stopped up at night. My old pillows would require three to nine adjustments a night for me to be comfortable again.
These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It supports me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud.
Soft, but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Now, mind you, I have one very cheap Walmart pillow behind it, so I'm not against my headboard, but even still.
Heaven. I bought two but think that would be too much fluff, so now my husband and I each have one. Buy them.
Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research.
You've found the pillows you were looking for. " — Marissa Urey Get a set of two from Amazon for $47.99+ (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page to get this price; available in queen and king sizes).

What is an oven at this point? I cook just about everything in this thing, from frozen Trader Joe's wings to raw salmon, and I get crispy goodness every single time. I've had it for a year, and it's proven over and over again that it is flawless. I love putting leftovers in it, too, especially fries! Reheated fries in the microwave are bleh, but in this air fryer?! They taste like the first day you ate 'em! Plus, it doesn't make my apartment all hot.
I wouldn't survive without this, lol. Honestly, if you took it away from me, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Promising review: "This unit takes up less counter space than any of my other kitchen appliances and cleans up faster.
It holds just enough for two people to share a meal with no leftovers, not to mention conveniently and quickly heating up leftover food that might go to waste because there's not enough to bother turning on the oven. This air fryer has become my new microwave and it improves the taste and crisps the texture of foods much better than a microwave can do. Compared to other air fryers I've looked at, this unit is easier to use and clean, at the best price.
And it doesn't heat up the kitchen, which matters a lot during our hot Austin summers. " — Austin Shopper Get it from Amazon for $89.99 .

With this sun visor-summer hat combo, I can keep my hair in a top knot and still keep my face and neck protected from the sun while catching a nice breeze. This is perfect (although a little large in circumference and I have a big head 7 3/4 hat size) and it’s adjustable and can fit any head size. It rolls up well and has an elastic to keep it rolled.
I’ll be recommending this item to all my friends!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 10 colors). 35.

Then the next morning, you're all good to go! Plus, it's dishwasher-safe! And take a peek at it on TikTok ! Promising review: "Life changing. I use this for coffee, tea, and alcohol, and it's made my life so much easier. My preference is always iced coffee over hot, but it's hard to do iced coffee without it getting watered down or taking forever.
I usually just drink coffee at the Starbucks where I work, but the easiness of the hyperchiller has me drinking it at home much more often. It cools really fast, almost never taking the full 60 seconds that are recommended. This is one of my favorite coffee tools, and the instructions made it easy to put together.

Flexible curling rods that'll give you the best curls of your lifeeee, no heat involved. You can use them with your hair wet or dry — just put 'em in at night, wake up, take em out, and boom! Perfectly shaped curls without the heat damage and frizz! Alright, so I've recently tried to get into figuring out what to do with my curly hair. I feel like growing up straight hair was considered '"better" so I always had a relaxer, keratin treatment, or just a plain ol' flat iron.
Of course, that's not healthy for my hair, but I was never taught how to style my curls, so I liked to keep it straight. Flash forward 10 years, we're embracing the curls. I recently bought these cuz my mom used to flexi-rod my hair when I was a kid.
I watched a bunch of TikTok videos , put 'em in, woke up, and my curls looked absolutely perfect. And no heat! I have worn my curls in a bun for the past five years, I kid you not. This has been my new go-to this month.
Seriously, people have been shook cuz I let my curls down. I love my hair like this, I think it's so so cute and I'm finally becoming more comfortable with my curls. And the gif of me above is a week after I used these curlers — wizardry at it's finest.
You can use 'em on curly or straight hair; I've used 'em on my hair when it's straight and the curls hold forever. They suck to sleep in but, hey, they weren't lying when they said beauty is pain. Regardless, these are a look and I plan to rock this style all summer.

A breathable crochet swimsuit cover-up so you can throw something on over your bathing suit without being drenched in sweat by the time you take it off. Promising review: "A must-have! This cover-up is perfect! The sleeve length is dreamy. Truly, I've been looking for a cover-up like this since my teens and nothing was ever just right.
If you're on the fence, just do it! Material feels nice. It is a smidge heavy to me, but it will be perfect for the evenings around the pool or on the beach." — Keirsten Get it from Amazon for $33.
99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 27 styles). 38. An energy-efficient 2-in-1 air conditioner that's *also* totally Wi-Fi compatible, which means you can adjust controls right from your smartphone with the app or through voice commands with Alexa or Google Assistant.
The unique U-shaped design uses your window to help block out noise so it'll be much quieter than your standard unit that sounds like it just worked a double shift. Promising review: "I don’t usually write product reviews, but I am now because this is one of the best household products I have ever bought. This Midea U-shaped AC is an ingenious design that is basically a split AC system mounted in a window, with the window closing almost all the way through the middle of the unit.
The result is a much quieter and more efficient unit, with the noisy part that generates heat on the outside of the closed window. It also looks sleek and modern, and the remote control and app are great. I have thought many times, 'I wish someone would make a split AC system that can fit in a window without having to install separate units on the roof or wall,' and now they have!" — Ben Get it from Amazon for $357+ (available in three BTU levels).
39. A totally adorable tennis dress with a laundry list of all the best things a dress can have. *Ahem*, it's got a built-in bra, built-in shorts, ANDDD pockets! Plus, if I were Lululemon, I'd be shakin' right now cuz reviewers say it gives Lulu quality.
Promising review: "I was hesitant to try one of these dresses, but I am so glad I did. I live in Texas and it’s the only thing that got me through this past intensely hot summer. I’m not someone who likes to show my arms or chest, but when it’s so hot, sometimes that just goes out the window, and I think the only reason I was okay with it was because of this dress.
It’s cute and so comfortable! If you’re on the fence, I definitely say go for it! It’s so worth it!!" — HM Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 9 colors). 40.
A mattifying, waterproof On Til' Dawn One/Size setting spray that Beyoncé used at her Renaissance concert in the pouring rain at her DC show. And Queen B's face was still beat 👏 to 👏 the 👏 GODS 👏 through the downpour. You know Beyoncé puts on a *show* so if it's surviving that, you know it's gotta be magical.
One/Size is a queer- and Filipino-owned business founded by makeup expert Patrick Starr to ensure that makeup is really one size fits all, as it should be. OMGGGG, let me collect my thoughts, I am shooketh. I *finally* got my hands on this about a month ago (it's always sold out!) and all I can say it is sorcery.
Patrick Starr is a witch, there's no convincing me otherwise. I did my makeup one morning, set my face with this, and had a full-on day — ran errands, went to Trader Joe's, went to a bar, then a restaurant, sweat, and I kid you not, every time I looked in the mirror my face was M👏 A👏 T👏 T👏 E. When I got home that night, my face had not moved at all and there was literally no oil to be found on my face.
I have expensive setting sprays I love but by the end of the night, I usually have a bit of shine on my face, which seems like no big deal but as an oily girly, I hate that, I look greasy. But this stuff is a magical holy grail, no shine formed against me shall prosper. I see why Beyoncé uses this.
I kept hearing the hype around this, but it is a bit pricey, so I kept putting off buying it. This is worth every bit of hype and every single penny. And I'm frugal! I will find a nice, affordable alternative and run with it forever because some big name-brand products do not work for me and I hate spending a lot of $$ for 💩 results.
If I recommend any name-brand product, it'd be this. I love this stuff and I will forever eat that price and buy this now. Big fan.

Promising review: "GO BUY THIS NOWWWWW!!! My room has been hot for over FIVE months now with no AC. Especially now with summer, I almost feel like I want to pass out.
I’m so glad I got this. It’s been two hours now since we got it in the mail and our room has completely turned around from hot to freezing cold. I can’t believe I’m saying this.
I have purchased over three fans the past few months, and this one tops them all." — Inca Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (also available in a smart Wi-Fi version).

It isn't super noisy so you don't have to worry about it disturbing your meetings and it's small so it won't take up too much precious room on your desk.
Who woulda thought that work would be a ~cool~ place to be. Promising review: "I bought this because I needed a mini fan for my desk and this one is absolutely ADORABLE! When I first started it, I thought it might not be powerful enough (I was not at my desk and just tested it on my hands). Now that it's plugged in and blowing on me at my desk.
...
.PERFECTION! It is quiet, adorable, powerful enough for its size, and super easy to take traveling. This is probably one of my absolute top ten purchases.
