A portable bidet, a detoxifying armpit mask for odor, and thong panty liners all under $15 — as Maui would say, “you’re welcome.”

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in the DC/Maryland area who loves glitter, Marvel, Beyoncé, pink, wine, traveling, all things beauty and fashion, and shopping, of course!

I have these and can absolutely say that I've never seen strands of my hair on these scrunchies when I take them out. Major freakin' win. I have curly hair and can't tell you how many times I've had to rip my hair out because it was stuck on the stupid plastic-y part of a traditional hair tie. I wear them to bed every single night without any aching feeling. I love these. I'm always annoyed when I lose a hair tie, but when I lose these, I'm so upset... I think about it the entire week.

Promising review: "These have saved my hair’s health! They don’t break my hair like most hair bands! They still stay and are so soft. I can even wear them to bed without discomfort. Not to mention, they are a great price for how many you get! So many color choices as well." —Kindle Customer

The brand suggests sizing up for a relaxed fit!

Promising review: "Wasn’t sure how leakproof thong underwear would actually work, but these totally surprised me. They’re sexy, comfortable, and actually do the job. The coverage is right where you need it, but you still get that minimal look — no bulky lines or extra padding. I love that I can wear them with anything, feel confident, and no one knows they’re leakproof.

Finally, period protection that doesn’t look or feel like 'period underwear.' These make me feel put-together and secure at the same time. Definitely keeping these in rotation." —Ebony Enchantress

Get it from Amazon for $11.45 (available in sizes S–XXL, two colors, and in three-packs with more colors).

Promising review: "These are my go-to liners — comfortable, breathable, and stay in place all day. They’re thin, but still offer great protection, and they don’t bunch or irritate. Perfect for thong underwear and daily freshness. I always keep a box on hand — great value for the pack size!" —Lorena Rodriguez

Get them from Amazon for $3.58 (available in multipacks).

This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 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.

Oh! BTW, I bought this. I got a dermal piercing on my chest, and since literally just about every piercing I've ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too. I got the piercing in February of 2023, and around May of that year, I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I always try to save my piercings because I really like them, I spent the money, and I went through the pain. I had written about this stuff a few times, so the light bulb went off and I immediately bought it. I consistently used it twice a day, and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic, within a month. Keloids are a serious nightmare, and I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I've even *accidentally* ripped it out and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming, cuz I just knew it'd get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada. This stuff always gets rid of keloids for me; it's such a lifesaver. You do have to be patient and consistent; this is NOT an overnight miracle, but it's worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for like another week or two, even after your keloid goes away, juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life. I personally will never be without this.

Promising review: "These Listerine Cool Mint PocketPaks are a must-have in my purse! They dissolve instantly on the tongue and leave my mouth feeling incredibly fresh within seconds.

Promising review: "If you love the idea of a bidet but don’t want the hassle of installing or are looking for an easier portable option, look no further. I recently purchased one and they’re not kidding when they say it will cut your toilet paper usage by half. It’s easy to use and keep clean, water pressure is controlled by you, and it’s a good size. I loved it so much, I bought another one!" —Ali Ruzgani

Promising review: "I have had a problem with underarm odor my entire life and I've always had to wear heavy deodorant, and even then it didn't always help. I read the reviews on the soap before I purchased it, and in my head I was thinking that there's no way that a bar of soap is going to get rid of persistent underarm odor. Well, I was completely wrong! After just one time of using the soap, the B.O. is gone! I have never found anything that has worked, even prescription strength deodorants. I will definitely be using this product for the rest of my life!" —D. May

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in multipacks).

Promising review: "The Dove Clinical+ Antiperspirant deserves nothing less than five stars. This product truly stands out in the crowded field of antiperspirants. Its long-lasting protection keeps me feeling fresh and confident all day, even during intense workouts and high-pressure situations.

One of the best features is its advanced formula that effectively combats sweat and odor without leaving any residue or irritation. The fragrance is subtle yet invigorating, providing an extra boost of freshness. It's clear that Dove has put a lot of thought and innovation into this product.

For anyone looking for a reliable, high-performance antiperspirant, the Dove Clinical+ formula is a must-try. It's a game changer that delivers on its promises and then some. Highly recommended!" —XLARRYBEARX

Promising review: "Wow, this is a million times better than tampons or pads. Zero leaks, less cramps, and you don’t feel it at all. It made my heavy period a breeze." —Justyna

Promising review: "Before I got this cuticle oil, four of my nails were cracked and broken, and the cracks were regularly spreading any time I typed or otherwise hit my nail against anything. The brush-on application is easy to use, and its citrus fragrance is pleasant but not overbearing. I keep it at my desk and apply it every few hours. Now, my nails are healthier, the cracks in two nails have fully grown out, and the other two are almost fully grown out without spreading any more." —E. Rausch

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in eight scents).

Promising review: "This stuff is like pure magic!!!! Plus, when you use it to shave literally anywhere, a little goes a very long way, so this bottle will definitely be lasting me a long time! The scent is immaculate — smells so good, I could eat it! It's also super moisturizing, and I’ve noticed since using it that I’ve had a lot less razor bumps on my inner thighs! I use it to shave everywhere, not just the 'coochie'!” —Summer Rogers

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "This facial hair remover works great! It gives a close, smooth shave and is easy to maneuver, making it simple to get all those hard-to-reach spots. The battery lasts a long time. I also love how small and lightweight it is — it’s perfect to keep in a makeup bag or take while traveling. It’s easy to use, effective, and a great value. I highly recommend it!" —Chad R Gaskey

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors, a rechargeable version, and a rechargeable version with a replacement head).

Promising review: "When I ordered this product, I admit, I didn't think it would work. I have adult acne and visit a dermatologist regularly, my chin area is especially bad. I used one the first night I received them. It's acne sorcery. I honestly could not believe it worked. Pimple gone overnight and a flat surface remained. I do not know how they get this pimple magic to work but I am sold and have literally texted all the people in my life. It's complete magic! Do it, I promise you will be shocked!" —Heather L.

Promising review: "I’ve tried a lot of lotions over the years, but EOS Vanilla Cashmere has become one of my absolute favorites. The scent is warm, cozy, and slightly sweet without being overpowering. It honestly smells like a comforting vanilla dessert with a soft cashmere finish. Besides smelling amazing, it leaves my skin feeling soft, moisturized, and never greasy. It absorbs quickly, so I don’t have to wait before getting dressed. If you love warm vanilla fragrances and want a lotion that actually lasts and gets compliments, I highly recommend trying this one. I’ll definitely keep buying it! 💕" —Jenny's Cozy Corner

Get it from Amazon for $9.12 (available in six scents).

Promising review: "I purchased these pads after giving birth, and they became one of my favorite postpartum recovery products. I developed hemorrhoids after delivery, and these pads gave me fast relief from pain, swelling, and irritation. I also kept them in the refrigerator, which made them even more soothing and cooling to use. That extra cold feeling brought amazing comfort, especially during the first days of recovery." —Mechela Barrett

Promising review: "These Medicube Salmon DNA PDRN one-day serum ampoules leave my skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and refreshed. They’re easy to apply, absorb quickly, and don’t feel sticky. My skin looks brighter and glows after using them. Great for adding extra moisture to my skincare routine, and I would definitely purchase them again!" —Sheryl Doropan

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 (available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I’m currently camping in the heat, and these Megababe Cucumber Mint Shower Sheets are saving me. They’re individually wrapped, so I can throw a few in my camping bag, gym bag, or purse — super convenient. The scent is clean and refreshing, not overpowering, and they leave me feeling fresh without any sticky residue.

They’re perfect for hot, sweaty days when a shower isn’t an option — seriously, they make me feel like I just stepped out of one. The packaging is adorable, the wipes are generously sized, and the aloe and hyaluronic acid formula feels amazing on my skin.If you’re outdoors, traveling, or just need a quick refresh, these are a must-have. I love everything about them — the smell, the feel, the convenience, the vibe. Total game-changer for summer!" —Andi White

Promising review: "My hair is in love! I have protein-sensitive hair and was looking for something that would strengthen my hair without drying it out. THIS IS IT! It was easy to apply and rinse out. My hair had more elasticity and was definitely stronger. There was little to no breakage during detangling, blowout, or styling during the week. My hair was soft, and the curls were defined. I followed up with a conditioner and a leave-in conditioner. I will definitely make this a staple in my haircare routine. I absolutely recommend it! You will not be disappointed." —Shiloh_B

If you suspect you have tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths), talk to your dentist or doctor! They can perform a physical exam or imaging scan and deliver a diagnosis.

These also come with an LED light to get right to the source of the problem.

Promising review: "I'm in my early 30s and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! Anyway, I've been struggling with cotton buds to fully remove the stones, but I couldn't get rid of them, and they would just come back within the week. I received this and OMFG...best investment ever. No struggle holding my phone as a flashlight while awkwardly poking myself in front of my badly lit bathroom mirror. I sat comfortably at my vanity, used one hand, and removed the whole stone in less than a minute. Why did I not know this was a thing? Why have I been struggling? Get it! Stop struggling, suffering, and awkwardly dealing with this ridiculous condition...trust me." —Wren

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "If you have wavy, curly, or coily hair, this brush is a total must-have. It glides through wet hair with minimal tugging, making detangling so much faster and virtually pain-free. What sets it apart is how effortlessly it forms defined, clumped curl ribbons when styling with product — it leaves curls looking bouncy, frizz-free, and well-defined without breaking up your natural curl pattern. It’s durable, easy to clean, and fits comfortably in hand while styling in the shower or at the vanity. Highly recommend for anyone looking to simplify their curl routine!" —Jake

Get it from Amazon for $5.50+ (available in four colors).

Just pre-soak your feet, apply the gel, let it 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: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in a two-pack and bundled with a foot file).

Promising review: "This product is a must-have! The scrub itself makes my lips super soft, and the smell is delicious! Followed by a lip mask or balm, my lips are the best they have ever been." —Nattie

Promising review: "I have a 3b-4a curl pattern that is prone to dehydration. I live in South Florida, so the weather doesn’t always help with all the humidity. This brand has helped SO much with frizz-control, softness, and manageability. It has a lot of slip and doesn’t weigh my curls down, which is amazing for air drying. The scent is light and clean — kind of reminds me of melons." —Silvana

Get it from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in two sizes).

You will need a pH bonder, non-acidic primer, extend gel, a UV lamp, and gel polish to apply them!

Promising review: "These are the most durable nails I have ever come across in the 12 years that I have been doing my own nails. They are thick at the end where they need to be and super thin at the cuticle. Subtle pink color that can be covered, which I originally planned to do but they looked so good that I left them as is. Going to order more for sure. Oh! And I have clubbed thumbs. The 00 size they offered was originally why I purchased these. The super durability was just a big plus!" —R Grimm

Get them from Amazon for $11.98 (available in 14 shape, length, and color combos).
