Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day and it seemed to work SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice but both times I was outside and un-touched. Delivery was very quick so that was a plus. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hyper sensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." —Tracey Agopian

2. Or if it's entirely too late for that, a delightful little tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" for those of you trying to enjoy a nice day out, because nothing ruins a good outing like a painful bug bite. This handy tool sucks up all of the saliva and venom that creepy crawlies leave behind in their wake — reducing any swelling, itchiness, or redness. No smelly creams or chemicals required!

Rebecca O'Connell / BuzzFeed

Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small business established in 2017 that specializes in bug bite relief products. 

This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more (although TBH, if this list of bugs gets any longer I may just stay indoors forever!!).

Promising review: "I cannot stress to you enough how much better this simple little tool has made my quality of life during summer in Ohio. It rains a lot. There are a lot of mosquitoes. I have horrific allergic reactions to mosquito bites. We're talking bumps swelling to the width of softballs within minutes of the bite. This tool doesn't make those bumps go away, but it stops the itch IMMEDIATELY. I was a huge skeptic; how could a little suction cure this agonizingly itchy allergic reaction? I'll be honest. I still really don't know how it does, but it provides instant relief that no pill, cream, or injection ever has ever achieved for me. If you live anywhere where insect bites are common, you need to own one of these." —Customer

3. An easy-to-apply one-hour (!!) self-tanner so you can get that sun-kissed glow without actually having to... you know... brave the sun. This tanner is basically magic in a bottle — it applies evenly, it doesn't leave behind any streaks, and it doesn't have a particularly strong smell like other home self-tanners. This gives you results in under an hour, so you can boast a perfect tan without the risk of your skin resembling the shade of Mr. Krabbs.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: “If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I’ve used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!” —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in 16 styles).

4. A super lightweight, sand-proof minimalist mesh tote bag perfect for all those beach trips you've got planned this summer. Not only is it resistant to those lil' grains of sand that go ~everywhere~, but it'll look super cute slung over your shoulder.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I got the khaki for a beach vacation at an upscale family resort, so I wanted to make sure to have something nice enough yet not over the top. This bag is perfect, nice looking, roomy, does not sag, and though it holds its shape, not at all stiff. You can really stuff it. There’s a good-sized zippered inner pocket for valuables that will protect from sand. It has a modern straw look that is nice enough for beach shops and restaurants. After lots of use, the only thing I did to clean it was to shake it out. It still looks brand new and is ready for next year." —Yellow Rose of Texas 

Get it from Amazon for $13.90+ (available in seven colors and in two-packs).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "After enduring the Texas heat and realizing my car lacked backseat vents, I decided to invest in this. This purchase has been nothing short of a game-changer. The fan's 360-degree rotatable design ensures that my 4-year-old receives ample airflow, eliminating any discomfort from the heat. The speed regulation allows me to adjust the fan's intensity according to the day's temperature, and the ease of setup means it's perfectly tailored for any vehicle. No more sweaty backseat rides; my child can now enjoy a cool and comfortable journey, even on the hottest days." —Ruth

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have been searching for a sunscreen like this for a long time. I really dislike putting anything heavy on my face and prefer a gel-like consistency. I am a big fan of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid serum and the texture of this sunscreen feels pretty close to that. I have tried much more expensive 'serum' sunscreens and find this one my favorite and for a much better price point." —JHoch

Get it from Amazon for $12.30. 

8. Orrrr a handy as heck Burt's Bees sunburn soother perfect for bringing some relief to any sunburns that may occur while you're skipping under the sun.

Thank you Burt's Bees!" —D.S.

It requires four AA batteries to run (not included). 

Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings to adjust the amount of brightness you need. The lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. The brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan

Feel free to take your time enjoying that coffee — this jiggler has got you covered.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep and when I come back, everything is logged out and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings and I use it on the minimal movement so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" —Isaiah

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options).

Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. I just assumed my phone would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" —Julie McDonald

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this case: "With these, I find that they're good for about a day due to condensation. So, for a trip I'll buy two to three. I've used this case to take underwater pics, on boat rides, and have worn it with the lanyard jumping off a boat into water. So, I really trust these!"

13. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm you'll want to apply liberally before starting your day. The last thing you want during your summer is any pain halting your ability to walk freely — with this balm, you can say goodbye to chafing troubles and hello to magical relief! 

Amazon

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. 

I swear by this to the point where if I can't find it in the morning of a run, I just won't go out, LOLOL. My boobs chafe SO BADLY under my sports bra bands, no matter what kind I'm wearing, but putting on a tiny bit of this before I leave works like a charm. Absolutely no more friction and no more going "OW OW OW" in the shower because my literal boob wounds were stinging.

Promising review: "This was a TikTok buy and it was worth it. Highly recommend it. It does the work. Long lasting and not sticky at all." —EBATL

14. A bottle of Nyx matte-setting spray that will protect your flawless makeup look with a matte finish — all without having to fork over the $$$ that Urban Decay's setting sprays cost. This bad boy is not only travel-sized for your convenience, *but* can also keep your makeup in place for over 16 hours — even in the humidity!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of Kleenex. But otherwise, it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I’ve used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray, and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." —Stephanie

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30–35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." —J

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1x–2x a week.

But sometimes there’s not a cold one available, and waiting 30-40 min for one to get cold in the freezer is not always ideal. This will get your room temp can to fridge cold in 90 seconds. I let it run double that to get almost freezer cold. I wish it had a power cord. But I do appreciate the portability that the batteries provide.

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.

I’ve never cut myself with it, it’s very simple, just has one button to turn it off and on, and it comes with a charger. Like Y'ALL, it’s so good." —grydneybean

Promising review: "These are the best floaties!! They are perfect for vacation because they take up no room to pack. You can also sit on them a few ways like laying back or sitting upright with the floats on either side. I bring them on vacation and people always ask where I got them. They're perfect for laying back with a cool drink." —Jenna DiPaolo

Promising review: "I love this stuff!!! In Florida, where the sun can take the moisture out of you between the heat and the humidity, you can tend to get a little dehydrated, no matter how much water you drink. I put one of these packets ion my large water bottle and drink. I start to feel better soon after I drink one. I don't do more than one a day, unless I am working extra hard outside in the summer heat. It reminds me of lemon/lime sports drinks without that awful sugary aftertaste." —N. Abdallah

38. A pack of ~waterproof~ Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages if you tend to get some blisters anytime you walk for more than five minutes. Not only will these help prevent blisters, they'll even actively heal them and help reduce the pain that comes from friction!!

www.amazon.com

Each pack comes with bandages to fit your heel, toe, and foot. People who wear heels also recommend these! 

See what BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has to say about these: As a blister-prone human, I swear by these. A few years ago, before I invested in these running socks that prevent blisters, I got a blister on my big toe so unspeakably large and painful that I am cringing even TYPING about it, and no amount of rest from running seemed to heal it; it just kept coming back. I finally used one of these bandages, and the pain was virtually gone from the moment I put it on. It was also so airtight that nothing got inside, and it didn't loosen in the shower. You're supposed to take it off when it loses adhesive so it can come off gently without disturbing the blister if it hasn't fully healed yet. After using two of these in a row over the course of a week and a half, my blister was finally healed up enough that it stopped coming back.

39. A Sharkbanz magnetic shark repeller, because you wanna enjoy swimming in the deep blue sea without fear of making any sharp-toothed friends while enjoying the waters. This band uses electroreception to deter sharks without causing them harm, so they stay far, far away from the band. Marlin and Dory probably should have invested in these before embarking on their expedition to find Nemo.

Note: Sharkbanz reduce the risk of a shark encounter, but do not eliminate the risk altogether. That said, the effectiveness of this band was tested by the Western Australian Government and verified by an independent third-party university — you can read more about the research conducted in the effectiveness of the Sharkbanz for reference. 

Sharkbanz is a small business that specializes in shark-deterrent products.

Promising review: "This product is a strong magnet you wear on your ankle. (Watch out where you store it!) It is comfortable and easy to put on. I'm not sure if it really works; however, I never saw any sharks while swimming/snorkeling in Hawaii where there are tons of aggressive tiger sharks. In fact, the Sharkbanz was mandatory equipment to swim in a local group of shoreline swimmers. It comes in several colors to match your style. I strongly recommend this product — better safe than bitten!" —Jennifer Keene
