To say the temperatures are *soaring* this summer is an understatement! We're positively melting in this heat, but thankfully, Walmart Canada is stocked with great products to help you get through it (with minimal sweat stains). Pick your faves and thank us later!

1. An ultra-quiet portable generator that'll keep the cool air flowing even during a power outage. Reviewers also love bringing it on camping trips to power fans, fridges, and trailer ACs.

Walmart Canada

You can also use it to power laptops, power chargers, and other gadgets and gizmos you have lying around.

Get it from Walmart Canada for $479.99 CAD (originally $1,299 CAD).

2. A cooling pillow if you're tired of waking up in a pool of your own sweat. The hypoallergenic fill won't aggravate your sinuses, so you can focus on getting some much-needed rest (no matter how hot it gets).

Walmart Canada

It has extra-firm support and can be tossed into your washing machine whenever it needs a refresh.

Get it from Walmart Canada for $21.97+ CAD. Available in two sizes and in packs of two.

3. A Google Nest thermostat that'll give you personalized temperature control right at your fingertips. It also has handy auto-adjusting eco features so you can keep things cool and comfy without blowing your monthly budget.

I wasn't sold on the idea of a smart thermostat — until we got one. I love being able to remotely cool down our house in the summer, and the different preset options are a godsend when you prefer to simply set it and forget it. You can even tell it to automatically adjust the second someone leaves — or arrives — home using the companion app.

Get it from Walmart Canada for $229.99 CAD.

4. An anti-chafe balm you'll love if the heat has your shoes and clothing waging war against your skin. It goes on smooth and dry and won't stain your clothes, so you can apply it wherever (and whenever) the need strikes.

It also works wonders on blister-prone feet.

Get it from Walmart Canada for $12.98 CAD.

5. A bottle of body deodorant spray if staying fresh is your #1 concern. Since it dries quickly and leaves no residue, you can spritz it on whenever you feel those summertime icks coming on.

Daise

It's aluminum-free and completely non-irritating to boot.

Get it from Walmart Canada for $6.96 CAD.

6. A pair of water socks if the thought of dipping your bare feet into a public pool gives you nightmares. Their sturdy rubber soles will hold up to even the rockiest cottage shoreline and slipperiest decks.

Walmart

Walmart

They're septic-safe and come in a convenient snap-top packet to keep each and every one fresh 'til the end.

Get a four-pack from Walmart Canada for $10.98 CAD.

And check out that crank! It'll make opening and closing a lot easier.

Get it from Walmart Canada for $59 CAD (originally $79.98 CAD).

Walmart

Get it from Walmart Canada for $19.98 CAD.

12. A volcanic clay mask because our pores are *not* okay in this heat. It'll suck out whatever dust, sand, pollution, and sweat is hiding in your skin, leaving it fresh and glowing.

Walmart

13. A bottle of hypochlorous acid spray if sunburns, bug bites, and chafing are not your idea of a good time. Just a few spritzes will help soothe all manner of skin irritations.

Get it from Walmart Canada for $23.97 CAD.

14. A soothing sheet mask that'll take your sunburnt skin from "freakout" to "chillout." It's loaded with serum and hyaluronic acid, so you'll get a hefty dose of hydration, too.

Walmart

Get it from Walmart Canada for $1.37 CAD.

15. This window AC unit you'll never want to live without again. It's powerful, quiet, and app-controlled, so you can make adjustments from anywhere.
