These genius products have been waiting to make your life easier.
1. A wireless transmitter because now you can use your wireless headphones anywhere there’s a headphone jack. Easily watch movies while you’re on the plane!
Amazon
Promising review: “I fly a lot and bought this due to my dislike of corded headphones, as either the cable line breaks during flight and/or it gets tangled up. I just recently flew and used this for in-flight entertainment and did not have one issue. I also use these in the gym while connected to my iPhone for music. And I plan to use them on my PC at work for meetings.” —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles and colors).
2. A pack of Bottle Bright cleaning tablets to take care of the tough stains and persistent odors living in your travel mugs and water bottles. The best part is, there’s no scrubbing involved. So you get super clean gear with minimal effort!
Promising review: “My tea mug was horrible: ‘stainless’ steel that was totally brown from tea. It’s now shiny and silver again. I used it on my coffee mug and my gym water bottle as well, and they’re all like new! Highly recommend and works super fast. No scent during or after use.” —afK2
Get 12 tablets from Amazon for $7.99.
3. A dog paw scrubber — just squeeze the bottle to unleash the antibacterial foaming formula within and get those dirty spots off Spot’s paws. This is perfect for at-home and on-the-go use!
Promising review: “I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!” —Thia
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
4. A grape cutter if grapes are your tot’s fave snack, but it takes you forever to cut them up by hand. This will quickly slice grapes into quarters, so they’re less of a hazard for your snacking tot. It’s also safe enough for your tot to use (with your supervision, of course).
Promising reviews: “LOVE it. It took three minutes to cut grapes, which would have taken me at least 10 [by hand]. As a mom of a toddler, those minutes are precious. It was also fun and easy to use.” —Jacqueline
“I wish I would’ve had this a LONG time ago. This little gadget has come in so handy. If you have a toddler or small child, you NEED this. It quarters grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives, etc., so they aren’t choking hazards for little ones. So much faster than slicing every tiny grape up yourself. 10/10 would recommend.” —Sara Waits
Get it from Amazon for $11.76.
5. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that’ll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
Promising review: “Takes away that gross smell. It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don’t really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true.” —KS
Get two packs of four from Amazon for $7.56.
6. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you’ll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: “I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn’t on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I’ve tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed ’til my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner’s TikTok (sorry, I don’t remember which one) and thought, ‘What the heck, might as well give it a try.’ Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I’m spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents).
7. A super smart (and cute) humidifier tank cleaner for keeping your humidifier mold and mildew free for up to 30 days. It also kills up to 99% of odor-causing bacteria, which you need if your humidifier has been spewing out some smelly smells.
Promising review: “I LOVE these little fish. I’ve been using them for about 2.5 years now, and I truly believe they help keep the humidifier and water cleaner. People don’t realize all the nasty mold and bacteria that can be growing in their humidifier and then released into the air in their room! I’ve noticed a huge difference in mold growth when I use these fish.” —Shelly
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
8. A set of bed sheet detanglers from Shark Tank so you can stop spending hours in the jungle of your laundry trying to not get devoured by fitted sheets. These will also ensure your sheets actually dry instead of coming out like a moist hairball.
Wad-Free is a woman-owned small business working to make sure your laundry day isn’t in vain! After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi Bray invented Wad-Free for bedsheets.
Promising review: “I was mildly skeptical, but it works exactly as promoted! I’ve used it five times and each time there’s been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases balled up and still wet when the dryer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the fitted sheet so I don’t have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these as gifts. LOVE it!” —Amazon Customer
9. A Scrubbing Bubbles cleaning stamp since rings have been forming around the inside of your toilet. This will keep your toilet bowl fresh and clean with every flush. Just plop some gel inside the bowl and let it work so you don’t have to.
Scrubbing Bubbles
Promising review: “I absolutely love these things! I have five kiddos. These gel stamps keep my toilet cleaner and fresher-smelling for longer, which is a definite plus with four boys. These have an easy, no-mess application. I finally just put them on my Subscribe & Save so I always have them ready.” —Alyssa M
Get six stamps from Amazon for $5.45.
10. A slim and sleek Echo Auto — this hands-free Alexa accessory easily allows you to listen to music, get caught up on the news, call and message folks, and even get roadside assistance. Not sure if you turned the lights off in your home before you drove off? You can even control your home’s Alexa-compatible lights, thermostat, and more with this device!
Promising review: “From the moment I plugged it in, it interfaced smoothly with the app. It is just like having my Echo Dot in the car. I have a 2008 truck without satellite radio capability. I was immediately able to access my SiriusXM account through the truck speakers using the aux setting. I have used it every day since I got it.” —Cathryn
Get it from Amazon for $54.99.
11. Some deep-reaching, ergonomic “flossing toothbrushes” with dual-layered flossing bristles that are designed to get deep into the grooves of your teeth and gums. Though this shouldn’t replace flossing, these toothbrushes can help rid your teeth of plaque and food residue. Plus, they’re designed with those who have sensitive gums in mind.
Emma Lord / BuzzFeed
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.
Here’s what writer 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 Mouthwatchers on Amazon for $9.90 (also available as a four-pack).
12. A belted cordless vibrating heating pad for those days when period cramps are a lot to handle. It has three temperatures and three different massage modes, so you can get the customized-to-you comfort you deserve.
Promising review: “Oh my god. This might be the best thing I have ever bought. It gets so incredibly warm. You do need to wear it over clothes to prevent burns but as someone who never finds any heat pack warm enough the lowest setting is exceptionally hot. As someone who has really bad menstrual cramps and chronic constipation this little belt does it all. The heat is so soothing and adjustable and heats up so fast. The vibration is my favorite part. It helps so much with trapped gas and bloating pains, and can even move things along if you’re having a hard time using the bathroom. The various patterns and heat combinations allow this to be truly customizable to however you feel at the time and it’s fantastic. Absolutely worth every cent.” —Chloe
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 11 colors).
13. A car seat gap organizer if your phone and other small necessities keep slipping down into that dark abyss. Instead, use that space to keep your things neatly organized and within reach.
Promising review: “Fits perfectly in my 2011 Prius and the seatbelts are still easy to fasten. It offers just enough storage space for things I need at hand. I just slipped it between my seat and the console. After three days of driving it hasn’t moved.” —David E.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.95 (available in three colors).
14. A jewelry cleaning stick with OMG-worthy results! This’ll help bring your tarnished jewelry back to life. This cleanser is safe to use on diamonds as well as precious and semi-precious stones, so break out your jewelry box and sparkle away.
Promising review: “This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn’t sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring since it’s mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I’d give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler’s in April, it just didn’t seem as bright as it was when it was new, and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik, I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I’m so glad I didn’t buy an ultrasonic cleaner since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler — it took me less than a minute to clean, and I can do it whenever I want! And it’s honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!” —KFray
Get it from Amazon for $9.48.
15. A pair of bar soap grips because they attach directly to the bar and elevate it slightly so air can circulate under it, which means your soap will dry faster. This will then keep them from getting slimy and gross. And that means you’ll have soap that lasts longer!
Promising review: “Very good product! I have purchased it for the second time. It allows the soap to hold well in the hand, keeps the countertop neat, and [keeps] the soap dry! This is a great invention and I love love love these little things!” —KINO
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors and two styles).
16. A super clever two-sided travel cup since it has two compartments you can fill with different beverages. If you need your iced coffee but also need H2O to stay hydrated, this is probably the cup for you. I’m saying “probably,” but I mean “definitely.”
Promising review: “You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!” —Megan Huffman
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two colors).
17. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!
Promising reviews: “I have never seen my sink so clean! It removed the limescale with a regular wash cloth and a little scrubbing.” —Cndrla
“I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!” —Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.
18. A rechargeable hand warmer to keep your hands nice and cozy if you’re worried that they won’t survive these lower temperatures. And with three heating levels, it can be customized to your comfort!
Promising review: “My husband and I go to Colorado every winter and when I found these, they became a game changer. They are so helpful, especially on the mountain skiing, or when we went snowmobiling. I didn’t have any trouble with the battery lasting and I would just recharge at the end of each day! I’ll never suffer through the cold elements again without it!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 10 colors/patterns).
19. A pet hair remover so you’ll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that’s been calling it home in a few quick swipes. And because it doesn’t use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and…
Promising review: “I’ve had it in my possession for like two hours and I’ve cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I’m obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights ‘things cat people need.’ It’s better than those sticky rollers, it’s better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It’s the best.” —Meowser
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).
20. A versatile chopping device that’ll dice and grate veggies to your heart’s content. Stop wasting time (and tears) chopping onions by hand.
Promising review: “Such a great product! I used to spend anywhere from 5–15 minutes cutting veggies and now it literally takes seconds! Cuts down on my prep time significantly and doesn’t make cooking a chore anymore!” —Britney
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in four styles and three colors).
21. A makeup-correcting stick because having to completely remove your makeup to correct a mistake wastes time you simply do not have. Plus, it’s infused with vitamin E, which will help your face feel moisturized!
Promising review: “Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using cotton buds dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!” —Katherine
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
22. A Shark Tank-famous grocery bag carrier designed to distribute the weight of heavy objects so you can more easily make it from point A to point B. Because it’s so light and compact, you can toss it in your purse so you’re ready for any impromptu grocery shopping.
Click & Carry is a small business that specializes in easy carry accessories.
Promising review: “TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well-built and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding.” —Hung
Get it from Click & Carry on Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors).
23. A stylish retractable mesh baby gate that won’t throw off your home’s aesthetic.
24. A set of heel caps because you just bought a new pair of stilettos to strut in and you shouldn’t have to risk sinking into dirt, gravel, and grass just to look sharp.
Amazon
Promising review: “I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn’t sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them.” —J L D
Get a pair on Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).
25. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers that changes color to alert you as to when to apply more sunscreen. And because they’re hypoallergenic, latex-free, and pain-free to take off, they’re great for the whole family.
Promising review: “I’m multi-racial with tan skin. I burn when it’s intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I’m not consistent. I’ve never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They’re an absolute essential for parents, especially the ‘sun goddess’ type.” —FlightLife
Get 16 stickers from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a packs of 32 and 48).
26. And a refillable roll-on sponge sunscreen applicator since it’s easy enough for your kids to use (with supervision, of course)! Just fill it with your sunscreen of choice, and let the fun in the sun begin! Plus? There’ll be less mess on your hands.
Promising review: “My children are fair-skinned and extremely easy to burn. Wearing sunscreen is not optional, but they still fight me every time. Using this product was so fast and easy they didn’t even complain!!” —Jeshleigh
Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in seven colors and in packs of two).
27. An adjustable measuring spoon — all you have to do is slide the handle over to the measurement you need, and BAM! You’ve got an entire measuring set all in one.
28. A WD-40 pen — a multi-use lubricant in a convenient pen form! This works great at stopping squeaks, protecting against corrosion, loosening rust, and removing grime!
Promising review: “I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen ‘junk’ drawer, and in the house toolbox.” —BBP623
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
29. An adjustable portable harness seat that’s super easy to travel with. Turn just about any chair into a highchair, whether you’re at a restaurant or visiting family. It has anti-slip pads to prevent it from sliding, as well as padded cushioning for baby’s comfort.
Promising review: “My husband and I are on a European vacation with our 11-month-old and keep singing this item’s praises. It fits on nearly every chair we have tried it on and works great! It’s so easy to set up, get baby into, and then fold up. And the best part is that it is super light and fits in the diaper bag easily. For places like Europe where high chairs are not always common, it is a great way to be able to enjoy your meal as a family without having to hold your little one.” —Blaine
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
30. A pack of two flexible dryer vent cleaners because there’s likely a bunch of trapped lint causing your clothes to still come out kinda damp. Use this to get all that gunk out, which will also help to prevent dryer fires!
Promising review: “I clean my dryer vent after every single use. I was shocked to see so much lint and dust come out! It was very simple to use and it really works! I kept one for myself and gave the other to my daughter.” —Shari Schmidt
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.30.
31. A bug bite suction tool from Shark Tank if you’re excited for tank tops and short shorts to come back, but not the fact that you’ll be exposed to some nasty bloodsuckers. It pretty much sucks the irritant out from under your skin so you can live an itch-free life.
Promising review: “I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) and immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bite = gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but that is a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!” —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors).
32. The Nori Press — no space for an ironing board? No problem! Plus, no more worrying about water leakage or burn marks. The portable and ever-so-sleek Nori Press works without an ironing board and can press and steam your outfits in minutes!
Nori
Nori is a woman-owned small business based in Connecticut hoping to make your life easier with this all-in-one travel iron and steamer.
Promising review: “I am not an iron girl, but this product sold me. It is so easy to use. The Nori is portable, so I take it with me everywhere. It has helped me to look sharp at weddings and weekends away. At home, I can refresh my dresses and shirts before starting work and going out. I would highly recommend this product to everyone who might be thinking of a change. No more heavy irons and dry-cleaning for me. Thank you, Nori!” —Elizabeth M
Get it from Nori on Amazon for $119 (available in five colors) and Nori for $120 (available in five colors).
33. Seamless bra liners made from a cotton and bamboo blend that’ll not only help with boob sweat but will also help alleviate discomfort caused by underwires. These moisture-wicking liners are gentle and breathable.
Promising review: “This is one of those things that I wish I’d found years earlier. I’ve suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I’m a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it’s warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I’ve come back for MORE! For real, I won’t put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it’s a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you’ve helped to care for.” —Niko
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women’s sizes M–XXL and in three colors).
34. A set of stackable starfish-shaped sand cup holders so you don’t have to fight to keep your bottle of water upright in the sand. It’s also great for holding your phone, sunscreen, or keys — anything you don’t want getting lost or covered in sand.
Island Genius is a small biz making fun and unique products for the whole family to enjoy in and outside of the house.
Promising review: “If you are going to the beach these are a must have. Keeps sand off your drinks, easy to clean and travels easily in a beach bag.” —Patti
Get a pack of four from Island Genius on Amazon for $12.99.
35. A can of fire extinguishing spray since it’s easy to store in your kitchen and sprays for four times longer than a traditional (and cumbersome) fire extinguisher. This’ll help provide some peace of mind as you cook.
Promising review: “I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy-to-use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it’s so much easier to grab this and use it and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don’t have time to remember a three-step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I’m not a firefighter! I’d really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn’t it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life and your house.” —K Zander
Get it from Amazon for $11.89.
36. A stainless-steel odor absorber that’ll help you get rid of unwanted smells on your hands. If you’ve just cooked a huge meal with fish, onions, and garlic and your hands smell of all the above, you’re gonna wanna add this to cart immediately.
Promising review: “Just made a dish involving onions, shallots, and garlic. Normally my hands would smell of onion and garlic for two days, no matter how much soap and water scrubbing I did. I did a quick wash with soap, then rubbed this all over my hands and fingertips under running water. Completely eliminated the odor from my skin. I’ve had one of these under my sink for years and sometimes forget to use it. Then every time I do, it’s sort of ‘Eureka!’ all over again. I may be a slow learner, but at least my hands don’t smell. If I wash my hands, then use this, I’ve never had it fail to work.” —CKB
