1. A miraculous fungal nail renewal treatment because there is indeed a solution to that funky toenail that’s been bothering you. It can help with the discoloration, thickness, and brittleness associated with fungal nail damage. Seriously, where has this stuff been hiding?
Promising review: “I’ve been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I’ve been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It’s pretty much gone and it’s been less than two months. Buy it and don’t think about it! You won’t regret it!” —itslilac

Promising review: “I can finally skip a day or two between washes!! I’ve tried so many dry shampoos, from drug store to salon and none of them really worked for me.

Promising review: “Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it.” —Placeholder

4. A collagen-infused butt mask that’ll shake up your skincare game in ways you couldn’t imagine — so much so that you’ll wish you’d found it sooner.

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

Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It’s recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.
Promising review: “Best product I’ve ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1Mil stars, I would. If you’re someone who’s had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!” —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents and as a two-pack).
7. Plus, a foot file so you can finish the job and obtain the silky-soft footsies you’ve been dreaming about. Instead of going to the nail salon for rough calluses or cracked skin, rub this file on your feet and watch the dead skin fall right off.
Promising review: “BEST THING EVER! It’s a MUST-HAVE! I have the WORST dry heels. It doesn’t matter if I wear socks all the time, I always get dry heels. Bought this thinking it would work pretty average or similar to others I had used. I was sooo wrong. It is literally the most amazing product ever. It works SO WELL! Usually it takes me a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heel. Enter this, it took me five minutes tops. I’ve never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously so happy I found this.” —Mickenzie
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
8. A piercing bump solution because you didn’t go through the pain of a piercing for a pesky keloid to steal the spotlight! This formula is rich in oils, including jojoba, grape seed, and rose to help gradually reduce bumps and scars over time.
This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily two to three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: “This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent, which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area.” —Jordan Caprigno
Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).
9. Sulfate-free Biotin shampoo made with botanical extracts to help thicken and hydrate your hair if that’s your preference. It also clarifies and removes product buildup! If you’re not a fan of taking supplements and hoping it’ll fix thinning hair, try this instead.
Talk to your doctor before using this product if you’re experiencing hair loss. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients.
Promising review: “I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It’s longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I’m not in love with the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair.” —Diane J. Huff
Get the value size bottle from Amazon for $34.95 (also available in smaller sizes and as a two-pack).
10. Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap with magical results that’ll leave your jaw on the floor and your past self feelin’ envious. It uses shea butter, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and Castile olive oil to hydrate and soothe skin while minimizing dark spots, sun damage, and blemishes.
Promising reviews: “I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!” —puppbear
“I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner.” —Michaella Leyein
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in larger multipacks).
11. A two-pack of “flossing toothbrushes”, which may get rid of the stubborn food particles stuck between your teeth. These not-so-ordinary brushes have multilayer bristles that act as strong pieces of floss to get in there REAL good. How are you just now finding out about this?
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 one of our editors, 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 $9.99 (also available as a four-pack).
12. A truly ~wonder~ful balm when you need help resolving just about any persistent skin prob that’s been peeving you. Whether it’s inflammation, itchy/peeling feet, or plain old dry skin, this fast-acting tea tree oil balm may be the solution you’ve been searching for. About time!
Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete’s foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic.
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, 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
Get it from Amazon for $36.32.
13. An exfoliating mitt for achieving ~super smooth~ skin without harsh chemicals or rough dry brushes. Regular exfoliation is great for reducing annoying probs, like bumps and ingrown hairs.
Promising review: “Right out of the box, I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!” —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $9.34+ (available in three colors and as a two-pack).
14. A “why didn’t I try this sooner?” teeth-whitening pen that can help banish stubborn stains from wine, coffee, and tea that you’ve tried literally everything else on. It’s painless, effective, *and* mint-flavored!
Promising review: “I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!” —Mimi Doherty
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.95 (also available as a four-pack or individually).
15. A pore-clearing cleansing oil if you love results you can *actually* see. This stuff removes all traces of makeup and sucks sebum from your pores so that your skin is visibly clearer and smoother! Once you see the photographic evidence, you’ll be mad you waited so long to try it.
BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.
Promising reviews: “BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I’ve gone through 3–4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZINGLY. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly a heaven-send. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum and even now when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don’t wear makeup. BUY IT, it’s amazing.” —rexichor
“Got it because it was all over my TikTok and I wanted to try the double cleansing. And wow, I don’t regret it, it’s amazing!!!! Leaves my skin so soft and so hydrated. I use it before my water-based cleanser and it has helped me reduce my breakouts. I love the texture, the smell is very subtle (you can barely smell it) and I just love it.” —Linette González
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
16. A mouthguard and retainer cleaner when yours is in dire need of a refresh. Drop a tablet in a glass of warm water, then add your mouthguard, retainer, or Invisalign to help demolish odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque.
You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more.
Promising review: “I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have.” —Lisa R.
Get a pack of 120 tablets from Amazon for $21.81+ (available in various multipacks).
17. A blackhead scrub stick — this lil’ dude helps get rid of excess sebum and other impurities that might be clogging your precious pores. After cleansing, rub it on your face to exfoliate *and* eliminate stubborn blackheads and whiteheads.
Psst! TikTokers love this thing!
Promising review: “Years of stubborn whiteheads and blackheads gone after a few uses! I wish I had bought this sooner! I’ve been struggling with deep whiteheads and blackheads on my chin and nose for years. I get monthly facials with microdermabrasion and it barely helps. After about a week’s worth of use out of this, they are finally coming to the surface and can be extracted!” —Allie
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
18. Some wart-removing pads to help with that pesky wart that’s been hanging around for an obscene amount of time. Apply the medicated pads like bandages and replace every 48 hours until your growth goes POOF. And to think you’d accepted it as a fact of life?!
Promising review: “I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandaid. Amazing!!” —K Pic
Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in three styles).
19. Mighty Patches, which are ~tiny but mighty~ and use hydrocolloid to help draw the gunk out of zits. These may also prevent you from picking your face, which lowers your chances of scarring. Stick one on at bedtime and behold the amazing results upon waking. People also love that you can hardly tell you’re wearing one!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says: “I’ve tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it’s even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it’s not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it’s removed, it’s like the healing time was sped up and what would’ve taken a couple of days took just HOURS.”
Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets!
Promising review: “These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it’s gone before it’s even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have.” —Chris C.

20. A stainless-steel tongue scraper for conquering horrific breath while leaving your mouth with a fresh, clean feeling. All that gunk living on the surface of your tongue = GONE! No one will be offering you an unsolicited stick of gum anytime soon.
Promising review: “Embarrassingly Gross. Never had any idea what I’d pull off my tongue each morning… I’ll save you the details – but surprised it took me into my mid-40s to discover [this]. Every human who brushes their teeth needs one… [it] has already helped my breath.” —L. Utton
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.98 (available in various styles and multipacks).
21. And an alcohol-free oral rinse. It helps fight bad breath for 24 hours and doesn’t have a super strong taste that lingers. Put down the mints and pick up the rinse — your oral care routine will appreciate the long overdue upgrade!
Just swish a capful for a minute and gargle for 30 seconds after you’re done brushing your teeth in the morning and night.
Promising review: “I’m actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn’t perfect, and my breath doesn’t stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. Will definitely be buying again.” —Alex
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint).

22. A tattoo aftercare salve that can bring faded tattoos back to life *AND* protect ’em from future environmental stressors. It’s packed with shea butter, cocoa butter, and sweet almond oil to hydrate your skin and brighten up your tattoos.
Mad Rabbit was started by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after noticing a gap in the market for all-natural tattoo care products. The duo pitched their tattoo aftercare balm in season 12 of Shark Tank.
Promising review: “Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy.” —Janson Ward
Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in two scents).
23. Veet’s sensitive hair removal gel — removing unwanted hair doesn’t have to be the most tedious task in the world. This hydrating cream gently removes hair and helps reduce the chance of painful ingrowns. Apply evenly, wait 5 to 10 minutes, remove it with the spatula, then rinse.
It comes with a spatula for removing the cream!
Promising review: “I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin & this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone.” —Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $9.49.
24. An earwax removal kit made with carbamide peroxide to draw out stubborn wax. The results may make ya queasy, but your future self will think twice about sticking cotton swabs in there again!
Promising review: “Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of earwax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP.” —Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
25. TruSkin vitamin C serum, which uses vitamins C, E, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and brighten your skin at the same time. It can also smooth and fade blemishes and dark spots so well, you’ll wish you’d found it many, many moons ago.
It’s great for many skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination!
It’s recommended that you do a patch test 24–48 hours before applying this all over your face, as it’s a strong, concentrated formula. After that, apply three to five drops once daily and follow with a moisturizer (ideally one with SPF if you apply in the morning!). Though the bottle looks small, reviewers say it’ll last you several months with daily use.
Promising reviews: “Best $20 ever spent!!! The results are unbelievable. I was a bit skeptical because all the reviews were from Caucasian [people], and I was slightly worried that my skin would not respond as well, but I was quite mistaken. With or without makeup, my skin is bright and smooth, and my spots are disappearing. One other result I am sure a number of people have not noticed is that your palms get softer too; I guess the residue on the palms makes it soft and supple.” —Mayowa O
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes).
26. Plus, a Live Tinted Superhue Hyperpigmentation Stick when you’re battling dark spots and feel like there’s no end in sight…until now.

Promising review: “I HAVE NEVER HAD A HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. UNTIL NOW!! Literally SO effective. Tons of people have been complimenting my skin from my boyfriend (who doesn’t always notice subtle changes) to my coworkers ONLINE VIA VIDEO! My skin literally looks visibly brighter and smoother. The only thing you have to be careful of is if you freshly wax or thread any part of your face. Wait a day or two to use the product in case you have sensitive skin to be safe!” —Ulta Customer
Get it from Ulta, Live Tinted, or Amazon for $34.
27. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors that’ll help remove stray hairs or peach fuzz *and* reduce your chances of missing a spot. They leave your skin feeling smooth to the touch, which can help your skincare products absorb better and allow for smooth, seamless makeup application!
Promising review: “I bought these blades to try at home dermaplaning. I was nervous at first, but it’s almost impossible to cut yourself with these and it took the peach fuzz right off my face. In fact, as I was staring at my face in a magnifying mirror and removing the fuzz, I noticed my nose hair was a little out of control. I even used one of these in my nose (that’s right) and it worked great! I will be keeping a few of these on hand at all times.” —TKB
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94 (also available as a nine-pack).
28. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence — believe it or not, snails have the healing touch. Reviewers love it for treating annoying skin probs, like acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and more. Btw, this refreshing formula can be used on all skin types!
This highly concentrated formula contains 96.3% snail secretion filtrate, which helps repair damage while moisturizing your skin. Also, the snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed!
My colleague Gabriela Manjarrez can vouch for it: “I’ve personally been using this for months now and it’s amazing how it’s improved aspects of my skin that I didn’t even know needed improving. I didn’t think my skin looked too dull before, but after seeing how this brightened and soothed my skin, I’m never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it’s still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it’s like your skin is saying ‘gimme gimme gimme!!'”
Promising review: “I’ve been using this morning and night for about two weeks and I can say I understand the hype! My skin looks better than it has in so long. Firstly, the texture surprised me. When you think snail mucin, you think slimy and gross. This wasn’t sticky or slimy whatsoever. I was afraid it was gonna leave my skin feeling gross and slippery. Surprisingly, my skin drank it right up! No residue whatsoever and it’s a nice primer before makeup. I have oily skin and it’s helped with that as well. My skin is so soft, with a nice healthy glow. I’ve noticed my red spots from past acne are fading and my skin just overall looks great. Highly recommend!” —Sarah Downs
Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (also available as a two-pack).
29. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo for keeping your hair free of those bothersome flakes that have been irritating your scalp for far too long. Apply it to wet hair, lather it up, then rinse thoroughly. It’s formulated with 1% ketoconazole to kill the fungus that causes dandruff!
This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them.
Promising review: “I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that’s it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren’t working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one.” —Martin C.
Get it from Amazon for $15.88.
30. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution if you’re done worrying about lifting your arms in fear that someone might catch a glimpse of your razor burn. It’s time to bid farewell to those irritating bumps and never look back!
Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can’t prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic.
This can be applied after shaving and waxing to prevent bumps and burns. It can also be applied at night independent of shaving to help clear any existing ingrown hairs and bumps.
Promising review: “I’m not one to leave a review about many products but I saw a review on this product that made me buy it and I thought it was only fair to pay it forward! I’ve dealt with horrendous ingrown hairs for years! I’ve tried everything to minimize them, expensive wax packages and expensive serums and creams, plucking, not shaving — you name it, I tried it. This product has literally put everything I’ve tried to shame! For the price, it was so worth it! I’ve been using it for about a month every day after I get out of the shower (I saw someone say they put it in a spray bottle to get full use of the product rather than it seeping into a cotton ball, 10/10 would recommend). I haven’t gotten an ingrown since and the ones I had healed! The smell is kind of strong but so are the results. I also have pretty sensitive skin and I was worried about using it after I shave/wax, burns a lil’ bit but it didn’t cause a flare-up. Can’t wait to not be insecure at the beach this summer!” —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
31. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that can make excess oil instantly ✨disappear✨ with a few swipes. It’s more eco-friendly than blotting sheets and you won’t have to keep reapplying powder. Freakin’ finally!!
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.
Get it from Amazon for $9.24.
32. First Aid Beauty’s KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant so you can have the smooth, healthy skin you’ve always dreamed of. No more dry patches or bumps ruining your day! Reviewers with keratosis pilaris and other similar skin textures swear by it.
Promising review: So I have keratosis pilaris or goose-like bumps on my bum and have been always super self-conscious about it. I’ve used this product five to eight times and they are seriously like GONE. It’s soooo smooth now and I’m super happy. It does say to use once a week but I’ve just been using it every time I shower (which is almost every day lol). I only use a dime size amount and it’s able to cover my bum and some of my legs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who also has pesky bumps on their body. Also, this product has no scent, which is a plus for anyone who has sensitive skin!!” —Ang M

33. Silicone Kegel weights when you’re ready to take charge of your health down there. It’s great for beginners and can help with incontinence, especially if you’ve given birth recently. It’s also ideal for anyone who wants more enjoyable *and* less painful sex. Former you is low-key jealous right now.
Intimate Rose is a small biz creating wellness products, like dilators, weights, supplements, and more that help treat issues and pain related to the pelvic floor.
Promising review: “Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that’s right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every [person] who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly.” —Julie Tauber

34. A reusable menstrual cup for anyone who has sworn off pads and tampons. It’ll save you money *and* it’s more environmentally friendly than disposables. Simply empty it out and clean it when you’re done! You’ll feel like a true period wizard when you pass that aisle at the store.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy says: “The menstrual cup factor that freaked me out the most was the thought of having to get up there and break the seal to take it out. So when I saw the Flex Cup, which is specifically designed to make that process easier, I figured why not give it a try. This is a purchase I would definitely file under the ‘life-changing’ category. Yes, there is a learning curve, but by my second cycle with the cup, I felt like a pro. Even with the pull tab, taking it out can be a little messy (I tend to just do it in the shower), but it’s definitely a more controlled experience than if it wasn’t there at all. With my flow, I can leave my cup in for 12 straight hours without fear (can’t say the same about tampons…), meaning the Flex Cup has made my period less awful. A true feat!”
Promising review: “So very happy with my purchase!! Fits comfortably! Easy to insert and remove, just takes some getting used to. Save money on pads and tampons! Very, very, very happy with this purchase.” —Evie
Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in two sizes).
