Promising review: "This handheld misting fan is perfect for staying cool on hot days. The misting feature adds a refreshing touch, and the fan provides a strong, consistent breeze. It’s lightweight, portable, and easy to operate, making it ideal for outdoor events, travel, or desk use. The battery life is solid, and recharging is quick and convenient.
"Overall, a high-quality, practical, and refreshing portable fan. Highly recommend for anyone looking to beat the heat on the go." —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "These are great for people who sweat profusely. They are very absorbent, soft, comfortable, and they dry quickly, so you can use them throughout the day. A bandana will get saturated and take ages to dry, but I can keep one of these in my pocket throughout the day to dab my forehead. After several washes, they are still in good shape, with no loose threads or worn spots." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two sizes/pack sizes).
The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.
Promising review: "I love love love these! I’ve repurchased this exact pattern multiple times, but the product itself is great for shoes that you can’t wear socks with, but want to make last longer. I work in an environment where I am constantly walking around, both inside and outside, so these are really great. They also add an extra grip for some of my mule-type shoes. Super easy to clean as well; you just take them out, throw them in with your wash, and any smells or dirt come right out." —Quinn Holdridge
Get it from Amazon for $9.32+ (available in two sizes [fits women's sizes 6–13] and three colors).

Amazon
Promising review: "This is an excellent ice pack for injuries, but I also found it to be surprisingly useful when it was really hot this summer and the power was out as a result of a recent hurricane. Sitting and lying on the ice pack really cooled me down and felt amazing!! At the time, I wished that I had bought more than one." —E. J. Tompkins

Promising review: "This is a very powerful fan. It definitely beats the two previous fans that I had (both were different brands). I can't sleep without it. It may be a little loud for some when it's on one of the high settings, but I like white noise while I sleep. I run naturally hot and have fans in every room. I've replaced three of them so far with Dreo. It's my favorite fan." —Idontwanna

Promising review: "I am very happy with this cleansing oil. It does an excellent job of removing dirt, oil, and sunscreen from my face while still feeling gentle on my skin. After using it, my face feels clean and refreshed without feeling dry or tight.
"The oil rinses off easily and leaves my skin feeling smooth. I've noticed that my pores look cleaner, and it has become a regular part of my skincare routine. Overall, a great product that really cleans the face well, and I would buy it again." —Father of 3

Promising reviews: "I have very oily skin and have been dealing with recurrent acne every summer, even in my mid-thirties. This is the ONLY thing that has consistently made my skin clear." —Jimmzi
"My sisters were constantly raving about this toner, so I decided to try it. Since using it, I’ve realized why they love it so much! My skin went from bumpy and textured to smooth and glowy. My clogged pores have completely disappeared. I’ve already recommended this product to a bunch of my friends, and they love it too! I’ve been using this product for about two months, and it’s still doing wonders. Definitely worth buying!" —Noa May
Get it from Amazon for $9.
Promising review: "I love these lip balms. They go on so smoothly. They are very moisturizing with a mild fruity taste. I don't like lip balms that taste like petroleum jelly. These are fantastic. I always seem to need moisturizer on my lips year-round. Either it's the cold and bitter winter winds or hot summer dehydration." —Amazon Goddess
Get it from Amazon for $10.48 (available in five other flavor combinations).
Promising review: "I’m happy to say this product works! I purchased this product due to my inability to provide my skin with appropriate sun protection one day this summer. I proceeded to spend a night wishing that I could safely freeze myself into an ice cube. Midnight discomfort led me to this product. The initial use was a day or two after the day of regret, but it eased the discomfort and moisturized my reddened skin, helping to soften the leather layer I had started to form. Of course, this review would not be complete without me faulting myself a second time. Two times in one summer I proved my inability to adult well. I applied this lotion the MINUTE I realized that I had experienced another exposure to the sun for too long a period. To my absolute joy, this product relieved my discomfort. It left a layer that stayed cool for a few hours (at which time I reapplied it), it was a little tacky to the touch (not sticky or oily), and my skin did not experience the crocodile and subsequent peeling experience it had earlier in the season. The scent is soft and not overpowering. I have experienced skin sensitivity in the past to products, but I had no issues with Burt’s Bees products. Thank you for providing me with such a helpful product." —Meghan

Megababe
Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer.
Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn’t sure if it would work or not, but WOW!!!!! It works!!!! Amazing!! I’ve been to a music festival for the past two years, and from walking too much, I’ve gotten the worst chafing. This year, I decided to buy this and use it during my two days at the music festival. No chafing whatsoever!!! I did reapply a few times (because I was walking tons/sweating). But seriously, this product is wonderful. I tried deodorant last year, and that was no help for me. This is my new go-to, and I’m excited to use it more this summer! Buy this!" —Queen268

Promising review: "I have never used a body pillow before, but this is the best thing ever. It has a nice firmness, but is still soft enough for it to nicely adjust and support. The size is fantastic. It has great shape retention. It also has this super plus of a cooling side, and it really does feel cool to the touch." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling too. No more night sweats for me." —Linda Leynes

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. 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 $9.97 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "These are the best for when my son gets bitten by mosquitoes. He usually welts up pretty bad. These help with the scratching." —Brenda Diaz

Amazon
Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin or doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Vicky Reyes

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! Literally nothing else keeps tangles out of my daughter’s hair like this does. Her hair is so thick and very difficult to brush; this makes it easy-peasy to brush the tangles out after a swim in the pool. It also softens her hair. When not used, the pool chemicals make her hair very stiff and dry. We even use this every once in a while just because! It smells wonderful and doesn’t make the hair greasy in any way. I cannot recommend this product enough!!!" —Emily

Shakalo is a small business based in San Diego.
Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! 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 1–2 times a week. I even use it on my dog's paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of, too. I will definitely be buying the refill and another bag to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti

This spray is safe to be used daily and won't leave behind any residue.
Promising review: "Great spray! You get a lot of product for the price, and it’s an alternative to the Tower 28 spray. I’ve been using it for a week consistently now, and I have noticed improvements in my skin; the blemishes I had before are now gone, and I don’t see any new ones forming. Great to use during the summer if you sweat a lot. You can refresh your face throughout the day if needed to get rid of any extra bacteria from sweating." —Dogmom99

Promising review: "I live in the mid-Atlantic region, where pollen is bad April through June. Despite having an air purifier, washing my hands regularly, changing and washing my linens regularly, etc., I still struggle with itchy, watery eyes and blurry vision. This eye drop is THE BEST! One drop in each eye is plenty. Best for severe allergies." —ESB

Promising reviews: "Keeps my ice water cold for hours! I love the lock-top mechanism for wide-open access for easy cleaning and to fill with ice. No leaks or condensation! Perfect water bottle. Amazingly durable. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally dropped it, and no damage or cracking of the lid was done. Perfect for clumsy me!" —Evee Lee
"The build quality is solid and durable, and it keeps my drinks cold for hours —even in the Texas heat. The size is perfect for staying hydrated throughout the day without constant refills, and the design is sleek and easy to carry. No leaks, no weird metallic taste, and it fits well in my daily routine whether I’m working, traveling, or outdoors. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality water bottle." —donaldt75

Amazon
Promising review: "If you like to wear your hair down in a part, if you have a middle part when you wear your hair up, if you have thinner hair, this is the right product for you. No more sunburn scalp nightmares. We all hate when our scalp gets sunburnt and, as it heals, gets flakes on our scalp or hairline peeling. Fret no more and buy this product. It doesn’t make your hair greasy and is perfect for spraying your hairline, scalp, part, etc. I do this with my child’s hair a lot because the sun just seems to stream right through her hair. She hates wearing hats to the pool, so I take this every time I go to avoid her scalp getting sunburnt. Some of the other scalp sprays are grittier and greasier. This is not. It’s a little pricey but well worth the money!" —Kaylee E Agin
Get it from Amazon for $17.49.
Promising review: "This dehumidifier absolutely slaps — and I say that as someone who lives in a region where the humidity doesn’t just make you sweat, it mocks you while doing it.
"This unit is compact, efficient, and clearly has a personal vendetta against moisture. I run it daily in a mid-sized bedroom, and it pulls water like it’s auditioning for a job in plumbing. You’ll empty the tank and immediately wonder how your walls haven’t grown gills." —SignalNomad

Promising review: "I never understood how people could go more than two days without washing their hair, and now I know. This has been a lifesaver! I was looking for an alternative to my spray dry shampoo, and this is even better. It literally dries up the oil and makes hair look freshly washed." —Mandy

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Amber Usher loves this stuff. She says, "Naturium is a staple in my body care regimen, so when I found out about this version, I knew I needed it immediately. I live in Georgia, and ever since I started using this body wash, I've noticed a significant reduction in body odor throughout the day, whether I'm outdoors gardening or doing my daily Hot Girl Walk. The scent is so light and fresh, and the cooling sensation is especially appreciated."
Promising review: "When I say this works for BO, it’s magic. For someone living in a hot state, working in a hot job, always working out and sweating, this product keeps you in check ALL DAY! No skin irritants, no dryness, and I feel clean. The mint isn’t strong, so you can feel the tingle, but not for long. I let it sit on my skin for at least three minutes before rinsing off. Best soap ever! I will continue to use this. Forget Dove antibacterial, forget Dial, BUY THIS!" —Shelby

Promising review: "I'm mosquito heaven and get eaten alive every spring and summer. I've used the spray bug stuff in the past, but I really don't like spraying it on my skin.

Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth

Promising review: "I seldom write reviews, but this nasal spray deserves its five stars. My nose was SO stopped up I couldn’t breathe through it for several days. When this arrived, I put it to the test, and within 30 seconds, I could breathe. Magic! This stuff would be worth $100 a bottle. It really does work. So far, I’ve been nasal congestion-free for eight hours. If you are looking for a fast remedy, don’t hesitate. This stuff is like having a decongestant genie in a bottle, granting your wish to smell the air once more." —Sad Eyes

Worth the price." —Heather
