Reviewers recommend using a more watery sunscreen; if your preferred sunscreen is quite thick, this may not work for you. And JSYK, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says most adults need about an ounce (the equivalent of a shot glass) of sunscreen to cover their face and body adequately.

Promising review: “Not just for kids. I told all my friends it’s awesome. Pricey, but better than wasting expensive sunscreen in globs. This makes the sun screening process much less messy and not as much of a drudgery. They even have replacement pads available so the ergonomic container can be reused indefinitely. Consider one to keep at home and one packed to travel. MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR KIDS. They can almost apply sunscreen on their own with little assistance.” — Bette Henry

Emmy’s Best is a small business that creates various pet and home care products made from gentle ingredients.

Promising review: “This has been a wonderful product! I was a little skeptical because of the price, and our pit has skin issues, as many pits do, but this works great. He was going out and getting very pink colored on the white parts of his coat, becoming even more itchy than usual with his skin issues, and you could tell it was bothersome. I asked my vet about this, and she said it was OK to use, so I tried it a little bit first to see if he had any issues. There were none, so I used it all over.

I couldn’t believe the difference! This is definitely worth the price!He can now go out even in the hot sun (of course, with breaks) and not get pinkish/red all where the white is. He knows he has to get it on and really doesn’t like it but he doesn’t like baths, rain, or to be wet at all. Once it’s put on, I let him sit inside or in the shade for it to dry before going out in sun exposure, just as I do for regular sunscreen, and it seems to work great. I could tell a difference when my husband took him out without it; you could see he was pink again compared to going out with it on.” — Awesome Amazon Customer

An electric travel kettle

Promising review: “This gorgeous lil’ portable kettle has been the best companion during all my travels this year! I drink a LOT of tea and am religious about making my special elixirs and healing potions every morning. I appreciate how quickly it heats up, and how long it keeps water hot. I have always followed the directions and use common sense when handling it, and have never had any issues with anything so far. Very satisfied with this purchase! Would highly recommend.” — Sassy Mama

Promising review: “Perfect floating table. We have an above-ground pool without a deck and nowhere really to put our stuff. This is a perfect solution. I put my phone in a dry box and set it on this float. I keep my sunscreen, my waterproof speaker, lip balm, and snacks all in the middle, and then, of course, drinks in the DEEP cup holders, no tipping or spilling! I bought this one because I can put a small umbrella in it and just lean it against the rainbow — it shades my phone and speaker from the sun and keeps my drink in the shade. I love this float! Highly recommend!” — Marshall

A neck and shoulder relaxer

A neck and shoulder relaxer

(Psst — you should consult with your doctor before trying anything new involving your neck/back area to make sure it’s safe for you!)

For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you’re supposed to lay on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: “This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now.” — Mary Beth

Promising review:I didn’t really expect this to work, but it was so cheap I figured it was worth a try. I can’t believe a head of iceberg lettuce was still crisp after two weeks in the fridge. It’s not a miracle — it did not seem to help my cilantro last longer, but if I can stop throwing away a fraction of the produce I currently toss each week, I think it’s worth it.” — momin8er

Promising review:Best. Purchase. Ever! I purchased this dog bed for our two pups when we moved to our new house. We wanted to make sure they were feeling safe and comfortable in the new home. First day we got it, I slept in it with them for hours! It is extremely comfortable and very soft. Thankfully, it is larger than I expected and I can fit myself and both of my dogs (both are over 60 pounds) in it at the same time. Total winner!!” — Allison S.

A jumpsuit that’s also shapewear

I own this in both green and brown, and I’m planning to grab every color so I can rock a new one every day of the week! Initially, when you hear “shapewear,” workout clothes might not be the first thing that pops into your mind — it certainly wasn’t for me. But let me tell you, the support is phenomenal. Despite the thick material, it’s surprisingly breathable, keeping you comfortable and cool even while you’re working up a sweat. Also, I was never really a fan of activewear with that scrunch on the butt crack — these don’t have that but still have some booty-lifting magic!

Promising review: “Run to get this! PURCHASE!! I ordered a large — I usually wear an XL; however, it fit perfectly. It does not cut off my thighs, and it’s so, so comfy! No bra is needed; it will be a staple this summer. It’s not overly thick, but it’s not cheap material. I’m obsessed!” — Andrea

A silicone toe cap

Promising review: “This is an unbelievable product! I work 12-hour shifts in the hospital and need protection for the corn on my left great toe. I purchased the size large and it fit well. Underneath my socks and athletic shoes, I completely forgot I was wearing it — bonus! The silicone is very soft and flexible and cleans easily. The product is priced well for the quality and quantity (six) that is provided. Each toe cap is packaged individually in the bag so the order can be shared with others if desired. I would absolutely recommend this since it has held up quite well for the 17 hours I often have it on (from the time I wake up until I am back from my shift). Cleans and dries easily and has maintained its shape.” — LJ

And an itty-bitty toenail brace

This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and tools for application. Each brace lasts three to six weeks.

Former BuzzFeeder Haley Zovickian says, “After spending hours upon hours of my youth in tight cleats playing sports, I now deal with gross, painful ingrown toenails. I put off seeking a solution for them for a long time — I hoped they’d improve on their own (spoiler: they didn’t) and was resistant to shelling out any money to deal with them. A few months ago, I lightly brushed my big toe against the floor, was met with bloodcurdling pain from an ingrown, and finally decided enough was enough. I ordered this kit, and stuck the brace on my most severe ingrown. 

“Honestly, I was astonished by the improvement this made, even within just a few days. Now, a few weeks later, my nail is straight and evened out like a healthy toenail should be, and it doesn’t hurt at all when I wear shoes or when it knocks against something. They recommend you keep the brace on for a full nail growth cycle to fully correct the ingrown, so it’ll be a longer road for me, but I couldn’t be happier with the results so far. Note: The brace causes a very slight discomfort at first. If you feel any pain, you should take the brace off immediately and apply it with less pressure.”

Promising review: “This is one of my favorite pair of jeans. I am usually a 32, and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it’s longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to tighten the waist. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color.” — Peace

It can hold up to 54 AA, 36 AAA, five 9-volt, five C, four D, and 10 button batteries. It comes with everything you need if you want to mount it, or you can just leave it in a drawer.

Promising review: “A really compact and ingenious way to store and keep track of your batteries. Whenever I needed to search for batteries in the past, I had to rummage through a box of loose, assorted-size batteries. Now the batteries are arranged neatly and securely in this storage case. The removable battery tester works great and is a real asset in trying to determine the remaining life of a battery. It can be stored lying down in a drawer, on a shelf, or mounted on a wall for convenience. Hardware was even included. Being the neat freak I can be at times, I highly recommend this battery organizer.” — Ron Williams

After using it for the first time on my 13-hour flight to Tokyo, I will never fly without it again! If you’re traveling with a companion, it was also very comfortable being used between two people. I especially love how there are holes for your arms and can be used at different angles/positions. It made for a very restful flight overall.” — Elizabeth B

Promising review: “I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!” — Barbie

Promising review: “If you are like me and watch TikToks while working out, you typically have to hold your phone to swipe. Not anymore with this gadget. Put it on your finger and click away. I get so many people coming up to me and asking me how I am doing that — I show them the ring, and they order right away. Wish I could give more stars. Definitely worth the money.
