Promising review: "This is by far the best slow cooker. It can be used in the oven as well because it’s basically a clay pot. All the other slow cookers I saw have a bunch of nasty chemicals. This is just a beautifully designed clay pot that comes with an electric heater. You can use it to slow cook, sauté, boil, or just keep the food warm." —Cosmin

Promising review: "Big boob girlie here! (38G) I’ve dealt with excess moisture under my boobs, which can cause problems like a fungal rash. I got this cause I had a breakout under my breast and wanted to get rid of it. I started using this and didn’t pay it any mind for a couple of days, and it was gone! I still use it under my boobs and lightly on my pubic area. It keeps everything nice and dry. 🙂‍↕️ Btw: The powder doesn’t have a strong smell but a hint of lavender. I also live in Florida, so you can imagine the heat and humidity I deal with lol" —Aundria

Promising reviews: "For those that have the sweaty problem, like me, you MUST buy these!! Very impressed how it keeps you more comfortable, they wash up great, and my bra stays dry. Great idea!" —Shellie

"These really work for moisture-wicking! I put them under my sports bra for working out or for working outside, and I am amazed at how they work. Makes working out a lot more pleasant!" —Kathy M.

Promising review: "I have been using this deodorant for a while now, and it has become a staple. The clinical strength formula kept me dry and odor-free for well over 24 hours, even on the most active days. The Summer Rose scent was light and pleasant without being overpowering. The soft, solid formula applied smoothly and left no white marks or residue on clothing. I kept repurchasing because it consistently worked better than anything else I had tried. Highly recommend for anyone looking for all-day protection." —BusyMommyOf5

Get it from Amazon for $8.87 (available in two scents). 

The smell is truly divine on this: Yes, really. Citrusy with a touch of floral, it not only does the job (and does it well!) but it *also* looks lovely and elevated sitting on the back of the toilet or on the bathroom counter. Can't rec this one enough!

Promising review: "I live with chronic lower back discomfort and the Icy Hot combo is perfect for me. The original made it hard for me to fall asleep because of how intense it was, but it was perfect for the day. The Nighttime Recovery was able to help me relax and get to sleep peacefully and without distraction. Great combo!" —Squid

Promising review: "Love this setting spray for the price and the SPF protection. It leaves a dewy finish and makes my makeup last all day! I put it on after I finish my makeup, but it would also be good as a primer." —AMel065

Get it from Amazon for $13.96 (also available in other finishes, styles, and multipacks).

Promising review: "Wish I had purchased this sooner. This lotion feels great on my skin, and I am starting to see an improvement on my neck. I will continue to purchase this item." —Patty

This TikTok of the Wet and Forget shower cleaner will make you see why it's one of the easiest ways to clean your shower.

Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe, but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ

Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small business that's home to a standing weeder design that's been around since 1913. 

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

Promising review: "Not gonna lie, I saw this product on TikTok and thought I’d give it a try. Truly the best eyedrops I’ve ever bought. The pictures speak for themselves. That was within one minute." —Levi 

Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."

Promising review: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product; it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." —Therese-Claire

Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

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

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

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 rarely write reviews, but I am already in love with whatever sorcery is in this bottle! This was a TikTok-influenced buy, so I was skeptical. When I got the product, I was having a horrible breakout with a HUGE irritated pimple in the crevice of my nose, and after two days of using it before and after work, it’s gone! It immediately helped the redness and irritation as well, and I'm blown away! After less than a week, my breakout has almost cleared up completely." —Catherine bunch

Promising review: "This potty seat cover has been amazing for our toddler during potty training and now after. I am relieved not to have to have him sit on gross toilets when out in public, and it's more comfortable for him without fear of him falling into the toilet. It's also nice when traveling if you are in a hotel or Airbnb. It folds up so easily and is nice and compact, so you can take it with you anywhere. It is also easy to clean! Highly recommend." —Whitney 

Just presoak your 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: "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. I 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

Promising review: "I was very hesitant at first to buy this. My sweat issues are HORRIBLE. I can be driving down the road and sweat will just run down my arms. Ruins all my shirts. Nothing helped, Secret, Dove, none of those clinical brands worked. Well Carpe, I am very satisfied. Use it right and it will work. I use it every night on clean dry underarms. I have used it wrong before and still kinda works but best results are when you use it by the directions! I don’t sweat much at all anymore! Nothing through my shirts. Good product!" —Jackie

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.97 (available in eight scents and an unscented version).

Promising review: "I’ve been pretty impressed with this cream. I have hyperhydrosis which mostly affects my hands and feet. I take an oral medication fort condition but I still have sweating sometimes which is why I decided to try this lotion. I’ve been using this product mostly on my feet about three times a week for a little over a month now. This cream has a slight smell but it’s nothing awful at all. I’ve noticed a little bit goes a long way. Before bed I put the cream on the bottoms on my feet. It doesn’t really leave any residue. It almost makes my feet instantly feel dry. I have definitely noticed that it helps maintain minimal sweating without any crazy side effects. I’ve also used this on my hands as well. This is a product that actually does help with my hyperhidrosis and I’ll definitely be ordering more when I run out!" —Lauren p.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents).

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to brush each rug thoroughly, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." —Renee

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder. It blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in a refill size). 

Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn, even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree, zero-clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen, and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah, where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all, this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock

Get a 16-count from Amazon for $16.49 (also available in packs of 32 and 48).

Promising review: "I highly recommend anyone purchase these!! I really enjoy washing my hands with quality soap, and this does the job; just one sheet is enough. I’m on the go a lot, traveling to the gym, different places, and I always use these sheets of soap, and they work perfectly. They’re the right size, very easy to travel with." —Robin Wilson

Get a 300-sheet pack from Amazon for $11.99.

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

Simply fill your dirty mug with water, add a tablet, let it fizz for 30 minutes, and then rinse.

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually, they both turned black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out completely, without even needing to scrub. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask, which I primarily use to store my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer. 

Promising review: "An absolute must-have for anyone prone to chafing. I’ve been using this product for a while now, and it has truly been a game changer. This anti-chafe stick is incredibly effective. The moment you apply it, it creates a smooth, protective barrier on your skin that prevents friction and discomfort. I can now walk, run, and wear skirts or dresses without worrying about painful chafing. The formula is non-greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable.

One of the things I love most about the Megababe Thigh Rescue is its portability. The stick format makes it easy to apply on the go, and it’s compact enough to fit in my bag for touch-ups throughout the day. Plus, the ingredients are gentle and soothing, which is a big plus for sensitive skin. Overall, the Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick is a fantastic product that lives up to its promises. It’s a must-have for anyone who experiences chafing and wants a reliable, effective solution. I highly recommend it!" —EVE

BUT it should be noted you can scan just about any food (so long as it's in the Tovala app database), including my son's fave Eggo waffles. Y'all, I can't say enough nice things about this. The pretzels you see pictured above AND THE CHEESE SAUCE: Both from their meal kit. My husband and I tried the steak one night, thinking it would be "okay for magic oven steak," BUT IT WAS EXCELLENT FOR ANY STEAK. I sound like a Torvala evangelist, but that's because I really am and love having the option to have Real Food with me barely having to lift a finger. Our DoorDash usage plummeted when we subscribed. 😂

Get it from Tovala for $50 (This is the current price for signing up for the free oven and a 4 Meals A Week plan to get you started!) 

Promising reviews: "My old bulky steamer that my mom left me with freshman year kept setting off my dorm fire alarm, so I had to stop using it ages ago. No clue why it took me this long to get a Nori, but I LOVE it. So quick, so easy, and now my clothes actually look good and put together. Obsessed." —Nati

"As a college student who lives in a small dorm, I find that owning an iron or steamer is a hassle in a small space. An iron requires a board, and storage is limited in a tiny college dorm. I just had an event, and my dress arrived very wrinkled; I used my new Nori, which was so easy and efficient! My dress was wrinkle-free! The Nori Press is super lightweight and easy to store due to its small size. This is perfect for travel, too. I am taking it with me for my upcoming spring break trip. I highly recommend it for any college students, travelers, or anyone looking for an iron that's easy to use and store." —Laura Ward

Get it from Amazon for $95.20 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I wish I would have found these sooner. Melted off my plantar wart in four days. I've been pained by this thing for over a year, and this got rid of it quickly. I've been recommending it to all my friends!" —Domingo Douglas

DrTung's is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral-care products. 

Promising review: "I had a tool similar to this years ago, but it was plastic and shaped a little differently, and I just didn’t see much results, so I didn’t stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which in this case is a good thing ;-). I’m very happy with the quality of the product and the way in which this handy little tool performs. An added plus is the cute travel bag that comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" —Lyra18

Promising review: "This product helped clear up an infected daith piercing within days and immediately began to shrink a bump that was forming. I cannot recommend this solution enough! It works so fast and so well to help soothe the area and heal irritated bumps. It is very moisturizing and lasts a long time." —Ania

Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).

Promising review: "So this product is completely worth the money. The quality is amazing. I didn’t notice any smell after a few seconds of using it. My skin was smooth and bright but not sticky. It works like magic. I have sensitive skin, so I can’t use this product too close to my nose, but in the rest, it's amazing!" —Isabela L

I really can't say enough nice things about Brick. I've seen it hyped all over social media, but honestly? I thought it would be just like every other productivity app I've tried, which frankly makes it way too easy for me to turn off. The physical barrier of needing to go to an actual physical location to unblock my phone has been huge, and I'm literally NEVER going back. Plus, it looks kinda cute on my fridge. 10/10 recommend for you *and* anyone on your gifting list who could use a lil' less phone time.

Promising reviews: "Exactly what I needed to stop doomscrolling whenever I start to get bored. Boredom is good! I love the simplicity of the product, and the size is convenient enough that I can throw it in a bag if I feel that I need it on the go. For now, it will live on the fridge because I can't help but use a good magnet." —Eugenia Kritsuk

"Got the Brick because I couldn't find anything that was helping me with my screen time. Over the past two months of having it, my screen habits have changed A TON. I am on my phone way less and am living in the moment a lot more than I used to. It's so helpful to Brick my phone before leaving the house, and whether it's to go to work, hang out with friends, etc., it is making my everyday moments so much better. Couldn't recommend this product enough to people." —Scott

The holder fits two 3/4-inch ordinary transparent tapes with a 1-inch core and four 3/8-inch tapes with a 3-inch core. It also features a compartment for pens and other small items. 

Promising reviews: "Bought it for crafting, but will definitely be using it for regular tape. Wrapping gifts is gonna be sooo easy with this." —Casey

"Oh gosh, this thing is amazing!! I can add three rolls of the yellow heat tape! It dispenses beautifully and makes taping that much easier and faster! I even got one for my mom!" —Kimberly

Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "I prep my meals a month at a time, and these make it much more convenient. These are especially helpful with raw meat, as I can use two hands while prepping the food and don't have to worry about keeping one clean to open the bag. I've also used them to portion out servings and ounces of meat when placed on a scale. They're not made of anything incredibly strong, but they're sturdy enough for full Ziplock bags of food." —Julie M

This is the future the Jetsons promised us, y'all.

Promising review: "The speed on this brush is amazing. After a week, I feel like my teeth are a new level of clean. I bought because I was told by my dentist that I was headed toward gum problems. This feels very good to my gums! It was a bit pricey but I like the brush head stores inside where it is cleaner. The colors available are gorgeous it feels like a better brush." —Sandra Roberts

Get it from Amazon for $129 (available in nine colors).

My partner and I fight over who gets to scrub our kid now, thanks to how nice this smells. Yes, I'm serious. Yes, I usually win. We love ALL of Dabble & Dollops offerings, so be sure to check out their whole line of gentle bath care goodies. 

Some reviewers mention that it has a strong fragrance, so if you are sensitive to smells, this may not be for you!

Promising reviews: "Bought for its clean rating, and was pleasantly surprised by how well it bubbles—more bath time fun! I've even used it to make the best-smelling bubble machine solution." —Emma Gauthier

"The best smelling baby soaps out there. Definitely tear-free. I love how good my babies smell in these I am usually tempted to use them myself. Cantaloupe and tangerine are my faves." —Char Jing
