As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

1. A beloved seamless compressive bodysuit that solves the “I want to look sculpted but still breathe” problem that can often come with wearing shapewear. Reviewers say this is a much more comfortable *and* affordable alternative to Skims. It has adjustable straps and breathable mesh that make it easy to wear all day, while the snap closure makes bathroom breaks easy peasy. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Shaperx is a small business that specializes in supportive, compressive bodysuits in a variety of styles.

Promising reviews: "Comparing this to the Skims bodysuit. The size and fit is accurate for this shapewear and way more comfortable than Skims while still contouring my figure. The price is amazing, and [it] shapes my chest nicely; there is no flattening going on, and no need for a bra because this suit holds them well. Because of the shaping strength, it is a bit hard to get on, but that’s just a plus in my eyes once it’s on. Will be ordering different colors!!!" —Mina

"Like you probably did, I found this on TikTok. I was like, hey, it's $40, I have a gift card, let's try it. I received it in the mail, and it is 1/8 the width of my body. I thought: there is NO WAY. Dear reader, it fits INCREDIBLY. It's COMFY. It's not restricting! I've already purchased more. I love this. 10/10." —Allie Lawler

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–4XL and eight colors).

2. A set of reviewer-beloved "Loops Engage 2" if your nights out somehow always turn into loud restaurants, chaotic group hangs, and you always having to yell, “WAIT, WHAT DID YOU SAY?” across a table. If you're still trying to hang, but just want to feel like you're not gonna blow an eardrum, these thoughtfully designed gems lower background noise without muting actual conversations! So now you can enjoy the vibe and actually be in the convo instead of nodding and hoping you didn't just accidentally agree with a terrible hot take.

Amazon

Promising review: "I work in a laboratory, so I am constantly surrounded by lots of sounds varying in pitch and frequency, which can be very overwhelming, especially for someone with noise sensitivities. I have had multiple people recommend these to me, so I decided to give them a try. I'm so happy I did! When I put these in, it feels like I’m coming into my peaceful little bubble. They allow me to have a higher tolerance of noise and have overall reduced my stress and overstimulation of the environment I’m in. It seems like they do a good job at blocking out noises I personally find the most distressing (i.e., high-pitched, constant noises)." —Makayla

Get it from Amazon for $35.95 (available in three colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!). 

3. A Shark ChillPill personal fan for those days when stepping outside feels like walking directly into someone's hair dryer. Instead of melting under the heat, let this innovative (and cute as heck) cooling gadget — which combines a fan, a mister, and a cooling plate — chill you down by up to 16 degrees! Now, if someone asks you to take a chill pill, you can whip this bad boy out and say, "Oh, you bet I will."

Best Buy

Promising review (from Shark Ninja): "This is my new obsession. I’ll carry it with me all summer. It gets very hot in the desert where I live, and this is a lifesaver. The fan itself is powerful, and you can adjust the level to your needs. The dry-touch mist gets very cold without adding humidity to you, so you can target it just where you need it. The 'InstaChill' cooling plate is icy cold, and just touching it to me cools my whole body down instantly. The attachments are easy to change, and it comes with extra wicks for the misting attachment. It’s very fast-charging with a USB cord. The digital dial is simple to use. I simply love this and will be using it all the time!" —Colleen S

Get it in rose gold from Amazon for $149.99, from Macy's for $149.99 (available in four colors), or from Best Buy for $149.99 (available in five colors).

4. A miracle in a bottle called Burt's Bees sunburn soother, because there are two types of people in the summer — the people frantically searching for any type of relief after getting scorched, and the smarty-pantses who keep this sunburn-calming gem on them all season. The aloe vera and coconut oil-based formula is designed to soothe hot, angry skin fast without leaving behind that gross sticky feeling nobody wants in humid weather. It also absorbs quickly, feels incredibly cooling, and is lightweight enough to use on your face if it gets burned, too!

www.amazon.com

Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!

Promising review: "I bought this product to take on our vacation. I am so glad I did. I got burnt on my lower legs and tops of my feet. I thought I had put enough sunscreen on. I didn't. That night, I woke with my legs and feet both burning and itching. The instant I put this on, I had relief. OMG, I cannot say enough about this stuff. Buy it. Keep it on hand. Great product. Thank you, Burt's Bees!" —D.S. 

Get it from Amazon for $7.20 (also available in a pack of three). 

5. A pair of compression socks to hug your arches, heels, and ankles with just the right amount of pressure. They're also crafted with a lightweight, breathable fabric that keeps your toesies cool and comfortable through all-day wear — even if you're being active on your feet.

www.amazon.com

They may also help with foot pain by helping reduce inflammation and improving circulation, according to Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "These help my plantar fasciitis pain more than anything else I’ve tried! I use them with an orthopedic shoe, but they make regular shoes bearable, too. I bought one pair and was so pleased with them, I bought two more the next week." —Jennifer Watts

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in a unisex S–XL that corresponds to a men's size 3–13 and a women's size 4–14 and in 11 colors).

6. Levi's Cinch Baggy Jeans that are basically a solution to the dreaded butt gap that can happen when your jeans fit your lower half like a glove, but someone could swim in the gap around your waist. They feature an adjustable, cinch detail that allows you to get a tailor-made fit around your waist. And they're 100% cotton — so they'll be soft, breathable, and allow you to move around comfortably all day.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite pairs of jeans. I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. 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 

Get them from Amazon for $40.71+ (available in women's sizes 24–40 and 11 non-stretch denims). 

7. A reusable sand eraser if you *despise* the feeling of sand aggressively following you home from the beach. Just rub it against your skin and watch all those lil' flecks magically brush away. Finally, no more jumping and shaking before you get in your car (only to still find sand in there days later 🙄).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a great product and gift for a beach lover. Works great and is a decent size for brushing away the sand after an amazing day at the beach! Going to buy it as a gift!! Easy to use and affordable!" —Sue Krauser

Get it from Amazon for$9.99 (available in six animal prints and in sets of two or three). 

8. A roll-on migraine stick that might seem too good to be true, but *THOUSANDS* of reviewers would beg to differ. It's crafted with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils that, by way of science (or witchcraft), can help to keep your migraines from ruining your day. Just apply to your temples, forehead, and the back of your neck when you think one is coming on.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products. 

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine, and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Read BuzzFeed's review of the migraine stick for more deets!

Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (also available in a pack of three).

9. ~Or~ a cooling adhesive patch originally meant for migraines, but you can also wear it under your clothes to stay chill without anyone knowing for up to eight hours — perfect for surviving weddings, work events, or anything involving a suit.

Amazon

Promising review: "I used these under my wedding dress recently because we decided to get married in June…in the desert…and heat. Plus, my dress was several layers, so I was afraid I was going to have a heat stroke from walking across the room. Enter: these patches! I put one vertically on the back of my neck (my half-up hairstyle covered the patch well), one on my lower back, and one on each hip under my chub-rub shorts. They stayed on for the whole 45-minute ceremony, the one-hour photo session after, and the entire four-hour reception, and I was able to regulate my temperature despite all the fabric on my dress. Not the usual use for these, but bride's gotta do what a bride's gotta do haha." —AmandaG

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $19.49.

10. A tin of Cirepil blue wax that uses a unique gel texture to wrap around the hair for a less painful pull. It also melts at a much lower temp than traditional waxes, which means less redness and irritation for your skin. And it works on all hair types and every body part that you desire to be fuzz-free — your face, arms, bikini, legs, you name it!

www.amazon.com

This stuff is used in a lot of high-end salons, too. So, you'll save a lot of coins when you consider all the trips not taken to get professionally waxed. You'll need a heater to warm up the wax — lots of reviewers mention using this one!

Promising reviews: "I don't like shaving my unibrow because I'm lazy and don't want to shave every other day. I used to tweeze all my unibrow hairs one by one; now I use this, which makes life so much easier. What used to take 15 minutes every week now takes one minute. I still tweeze the edges for accuracy, but this helps take out the entire center of the unibrow in one go, which is 90% of the work." —Ammar

"Holy crap. Please listen to this review. This is the best and easiest-to-use wax I have ever tried. It dries super quickly, and when it dries, it creates a vacuum seal around the hair. It does not stick to the skin in the slightest and cuts the pain down by 75%. I would pay $150 dollars for this stuff because it is so good." —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

11. A splurgey Pluto Puff body pillow — an oversize, fluffy angel crafted to cushion, cradle, and support your body from head to toe. Reviewers report that this thing is much larger than they expected, but that they L-O-V-E the quality, the ~squish~ factor, and the fact that it's cool to the touch. 

Pluto

Pluto is an Asian-owned brand based in Los Angeles, specializing in custom-built pillows and other sleep accessories like their travel Pod. Check out their pitch onShark Tank

Promising reviews: "It's the best snuggle pillow that I've ever had. It's cool (literally and figuratively), and very soft. It's also not super firm, which I like." —Corby

"I absolutely love it as a side sleeper, I am tossing and turning less, and no longer have tight hips or a tight lower back." —Davis W.

Get it from Pluto for $145.

12. Or! An adjustable cooling pillow you can fluff, stuff, and shape to perfection, thanks to the zippered inner pillow and shredded memory foam. The pillow cover features a silky fabric that is cool to the touch, and the memory foam helps with air circulation and breathability. That means you can have your perfect squish level — and finally stop waking up to flip your pillow to the "cool side" for the millionth time.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have tried numerous pillows over the years, with only one or two I would really call good. This pillow is GREAT. Not only is it just as advertised, but I would say even better. I fluffed this for a good 48 hours before use by following instructions, and even flipping it over a few times during the 48-hour period. It was like a cloud from heaven and still is after a solid week and a half of use. There is no doubt that if I fluffed it a little more, it would all bounce back, but I love where it has settled in at this point. It is the perfect blend of firmness, softness, and support. I believe it has even had some noticeable cooling effects as well that I have always thought was near impossible to actually do for me, especially because I am super hot-natured. With the quality of the material, removable case, etc. I imagine this pillow will last a very long time. I am going to be ordering more for everyone in the house as well as for our guest room." —jesse76450

Get it from Amazon for $20.69+ (available with one-sided or double-sided cooling, in packs of one or two, and sizes standard through king; also available as a body or camping pillow).

13. A pair of copper arch support sleeves to keep your arches from screaming at you with every step you take. The high copper content, combined with compression, can help provide relief for those with flat feet or those who spend a lot of time on their feet. Reviewers with heel spurs or plantar fasciitis find that these offer amazing comfort and support. And you can wear them over socks or barefoot!

www.amazon.com

Foots Love is a small biz!

Read more about how a lack of arch support can aggravate plantar fasciitis at the American Podiatric Medical Association

Promising review: "These are comfortable and provide good arch support. They a flannel-like lining on the inside that is very comfy. I have very flat feet and suffer from tendonitis, and I’m on my feet all day. I wore these for a couple of days (I walked 5 miles each day), and I felt like this helped to support my arches, which helped relieve my ankle pain and back pain. I can see myself using this while at home since we don’t wear shoes in the house here, just so I can get some arch supports. Great product. Thank you!" —Taratomo

Get them from Amazon for $11.20.

14. A sunscreen applicator if you *hate* getting it all over your hands. Well, this refillable roller allows you to bypass that icky sensation by allowing you to put it inside a container that has a genius roller ball and sponge on the other end to ensure your SPF spreads smoothly and evenly. It's mess-free, travel-friendly, and makes touch-ups super easy.

Amazon

Check out how easy it is to apply sunscreen with this clever gadget in this TikTok. 

Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor, Heather Braga, has also used this and says: "As a parent myself, I can confirm this gadget is fantastic. During the summer, I keep one in my diaper bag to ensure my kids are protected from the sun at all times. My kids loved being 'painted, ' and I loved knowing applying sunscreen wasn't going to be a fight. I typically fill ours with Tubby Todd Mineral Sunscreenor Baby Bum SPF 50."

Solar Buddies is a small business based in the UK, founded by two moms who set out to develop a product that would make applying sunscreen to kiddos easier. 

Promising review: "I hesitated, but I originally saw this item on TikTok and knew it would make life SO MUCH easier when it comes to putting sunscreen on myself and my kids, and I have to say, I am NOT disappointed!! The sunscreen goes on so smoothly and evenly, and I feel like I will be saving so much sunscreen now that I'm not just squirting a huge glob in my hands and spending so much time trying to rub in a ridiculous amount into mine and my children's skin. My only regret with buying these is that I wish I had bought a couple more so that I could have different ones for each of the sunscreens we use! But I will be recommending these to everyone!" —Carmen

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $22.38+ (available in three solid color packs and eight multicolor packs). 

15. A set of breathable, seamless thongs ~THOUSANDS~ of reviewers swear by — especially thong haters. They have a comfy, high-waisted design that is praised for staying in place and for looking smooth and barely there under clothes. Plus, they have an amazing amount of stretch and, most importantly, a moisture-wicking design that keeps your downstairs area airy and dry.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Prefer briefs? Check out this similar seamless design with rave reviews!

Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, what seems like forever ago, and tried every “seamless” thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren’t that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don’t hold sweat. They don’t roll. They don’t move around.  I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I’ve washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They’re wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I’ve ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong about them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they’re my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don’t exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It’s sorcery, I’m convinced." —Ebony

Get a set of six from Amazon for $22.48+ (available in women's sizes XS–4X and 10 color combos).

16. A set of affordable moisture-wicking exercise socks so your feet stay dry and blister-free, whether you’re running, hitting the gym, or just chasing your 5-year-old across the house. They have a *cushion* on the sole and use thicker yarn around high-wear areas for increased durability. They also have compression around your arch and a tab at the back to keep them from slipping. So, it should be totally unsurprising that these are particularly beloved among runners.

Amazon

BuzzFeed Shopping writer, Emma Lord, recommends these *very* highly: "I have been buying a new set of these every year since 2020, and they have kept my VERY blister- and chafing-prone feet snug and moisture-wicked on every single long run. They've essentially phased out any of my other socks, because they're extremely comfortable to boot. As a runner who often clocks in 25+ miles a week and often in some "yikes!" summer heat, I cannot recommend these socks enough." 

Promising review: "These socks are designed perfectly for running socks. The bottoms and toes are thick, the tops are thin, the lower heel is reinforced, the heel top has a tab that provides extra cushion on the Achilles, where some shoes like to wear into you. The size is true to fit.  I've purchased many packs of these, and they are the best I've tried." —SmokeyBear

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in 12 color combos and unisex sizes S–XL).

17. An extremely helpful toenail brace designed to encourage curved or ingrown toenails to grow the way they're supposed to. Just stick the discreet strip to the top of your toenail that's causing all the drama and watch as it gradually lifts and retrains your nail to grow the right way. And because the strip is clear, you can just quietly go about fixing the problem! Many reviewers say they not only saw a change in a few days, but they also felt a lot less pain.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

CurveCorrect is a small biz!

The kit comes with ten toenail braces and the materials needed to apply them.

Promising review: "I never realized how curved and not-OK my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product did I realize that I had a major problem that could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H.

Get the kit from Amazon for $44.99.

18. A splurgey set of Cozy Earth Sheets, because your air conditioner can only do so much (especially if you're trying not to blow your electric bill), and that's where these divinely chilling angels will pick up the slack. The buttery-soft fabric feels incredibly luxurious against your skin. And because they are crafted from bamboo, they also help to regulate your temperature so you're not constantly kicking the covers off at 2 a.m. So, if waking up drenched in sweat has become your nightly routine, consider this your sign to finally upgrade those sheets.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

I know that people say sleeping on quality sheets can make a world of difference. I guess I just really didn't realize HOW big of a difference it makes (or real talk, I totally underestimated the difference) until I tried out these ~divine~ cooling sheets. I live in the desert where temps can get well past the 100s for many days in a row, and our AC has been having issues again this summer. Thankfully, we got a swamp cooler to help with keeping the main part of our house cool, but our bedroom can still feel like a sauna. I can't tell you how delightfully lovely it was to get into bed with this set. Silky is an understatement — this is like a fine, whipped butter against your skin. And I was SO shocked at how cool I felt on them and, again, that's with no AC. I can only imagine we'd be shivering if the AC were working. They've truly been a Godsend during this ongoing heatwave. One thing I will note, though, is that they're pretty thin, and we have a mattress protector on the bed that pills like crazy. So the sheets are thin enough that we can feel all that pilling (which is def motivation to pull out the fabric trimmer). Not a knock against them AT ALL, but just something I wanted to call out.

Promising review: "I’ve never splurged like this on pretty much anything for myself, but this was soooo worth it. I got these sheets to hopefully help with my sleep because I’ve not been sleeping well. It definitely makes a difference to have these. They are nice and cool. They fit great, and they wash great! The wash instructions and everything were included. Because they’re on the spendier side, I wanted to make sure I had all of the info I needed to take care of them. After multiple washes, they still feel as soft as they did when I first got them!" —Kmart76452

Get a full-size set from Amazon for $288 (available in 10 colors and in sizes twin, California king, and split king).

19. Or a more affordable set of cooling sheets so chill, you'll swear the AC is built into the fabric. Made with 100% cotton, these sheets are a pro at temp regulation because of their breathability — which means you'll be nice and cool when summer nights get swampy. And they have a smooth sateen finish that will get softer with each wash. 

www.amazon.com

And can we talk about those deep pockets?! If your mattress is 16 inches deep or less, you'll be obsessed.

Promising review: "I’ve been meaning to buy 100% cotton sheets because I’m a very hot sleeper, and after ordering these, I wish I had done so sooner. Immediate difference in my sleep quality. These sheets are very cooling, insanely soft, and so so comfortable. My only complaint is that I wish they were a little more opaque because you can see the design on my mattress through the sheets; however, they don’t feel thin whatsoever, and I love the color and look they give to my bed." —Nina

Get a full set from Amazon for $41.64+ (available in single or double packs, in 43 colors and sizes twin–California king, including a split king option).

20. Annnd a BedJet for anyone who is ready to stop doing midnight sheet origami from being too hot. This miracle machine pulls heat and moisture out of your bed faster than you can say “night sweats." It’s customizable, fits any mattress, and has smart temp control settings that you can program for every hour of the night.

www.amazon.com

Bonus: It has a heating mode that warms like a sauna for the winter and is great for sleepers with chronically cold feet.

BedJet is a small business that creates climate control bed systems.

Promising review: "Look. I live in Phoenix right now. It gets hotter than hell here. It's disgusting. Sleeping during the summer is a nightmare. It was 90 degrees the other night, and it's not even the worst of the summer. The BedJet actually kept us cool and comfortable all night!!!! It is silent, and it works incredibly. I know it's expensive, but it is worth every penny if you sleep hot or live in a godforsaken place like Phoenix. Other benefits: it was incredibly easy to set up. It fits under my bed, and my comforter hides the tube. It's like it's not even there. The remote is super nifty. And it even CAME WITH BATTERIES. When does that happen these days? I literally don't have a single negative to report. I have already texted my friends and family to spread the gospel of BedJet." —Kaley Repp

Get it from Amazon for $569.

21. Reef Water platform sandals to keep your feet ready for all kinds of possibilities this summer. They have a durable outsole built for handling varied terrain and a lightweight, cushioned footbed so you can survive hours on your feet comfortably. They also have NO break-in period — so you can just pop them on right out of the box. And they're water-friendly, which means you can go from the beach to lunch to wandering around a scenic walking trail without worry.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "BEST SANDALS EVER. I wore these sandals every single day on a 16-day European vacation. I was in the water, streets, sand, and even hiking in these shoes and felt nothing but comfort. Being able to wear something transitional between the water and land was perfect for this trip. The adjustable velcro band stayed fully functional and is still as strong as new. These are by far the best sandals I've ever had." —Jackie Beauvaise

Get it from Amazon for $34.15+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and 21 styles). 

22. ~Or~ some ergonomic FitFlops — the most top-tier flip-flops your feet will ever experience. They have a contoured footbed that helps to distribute pressure more evenly, so you’re not overworking your heels or toes! Add in the shock-absorbing cushioning, and I'd say I think I just found you the shoes you're gonna live in by the pool all summer (you're welcome).

Amazon

They have the APMA Seal of Acceptance, so you know they're legit!

Promising review: "Amazingly comfortable! I have a hard time wearing flip-flops because they give little or no support. However, these flip-flops are so supportive that I walked 4 miles in them without even thinking about my feet!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and 15 colors).

23. A superior eye massager with built-in aluminum plates that offer both heating and cooling to help with morning puffiness or to relax your eyes after loooooong day looking at screens. It also has four compression settings that use air to give you theee most relaxing massage around your temple and brow area. It's the perfect end-of-day treat for peeps whose jobs (or, real talk, TikTok habits) have their eyes begging for mercy.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

When this was offered to me to try out, I legit told the PR person that I'm not sure if there's anything I could love more than my Renpho eye massager, but I'm willing, for the sake of curiosity, to see what Bob and Brad have to offer. Well, y'all... I'm here to report that Bob and Brad have totally dethroned my Renpho eye massager! It's like they took every issue I had with it and created a superior alternative. I cannot believe how quiet this is compared to the Renpho version, which was my biggest complaint. Now, I will say the pressure is a little weaker than the Renpho (even when on high), but for the trade-off of a much quieter machine, I will totally take it. I also love, love, LOVE the built-in aluminum eye plates. They freaked me out at first, but they're actually a lot more comfortable than they look, and they are ~divinely~ cooling. Plus, I love the lil' storage pouch that comes with it. It's definitely a quality bag and goes to show how much this brand cares about even the little details. I'm a huge fan now!

Promising review: "The BEST purchase I have made in a long time. I finally decided to splurge on myself, and this has been the ultimate relaxation tool I have ever used. I have migraines, constantly work with people and computers, and have difficulty falling asleep. The music, different soothing modes, comfort, weight feels so light that I actually fall asleep with it on, and I am notorious for being a terrible sleeper. My mind can’t focus on anything else, which is a reprieve. I love that it does cooling and heating without having to detach another piece. It has a simple look, is durable for daily use (so far), and has been well worth the money. I think the price is spot on for the quality of the product. I do wish the lights turned down on the side or could adjust the volume manually since I have been falling asleep with it, but my husband says it’s not too bothersome. I highly recommend!" —Laura

Get it from Amazon for $125.99.

24. An inflatable lounge pool so you can work on your tan without overheating. This one has built-in cupholders, a detachable headrest, and a refreshing sprinkler (!!) to ensure you are always calm and cool instead of cranky and pissed.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this. I don't have a pool and wanted to cool off. The sprinkler is fun. You have to push the pillow in. Make sure to try to turn it upside down; it will go in. Great quality. I'm so glad I bought this. Thank you.. When I'm done with it, I roll it on its side and let the water out. It's nice to put a radio in your window. Eat a snack and enjoy the sun. The water warms quickly and feels so good." —Melissa L. Brady

Get it from Amazon for $28.45+(available in three sizes and colors).

25. A tube of absolute sorcery otherwise known as Monistat's Chafe Relief Powder Gel to keep your thighs protected from the worst sensation known to mankind — chafing (eeeeyuuuuuckkkk). I've been using this stuff for literal YEARS and just truly can't get over how they managed to give you that same feel as baby powder, but in a lightweight gel that isn't going to get all over your clothes. Witchcraft, I say! Complete witchcraft (that I pray never stops being conjured up by those genius witches 🧙🙏🏾).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

YAAAALLLL! This cream literally changed my life as a lifetime member of the Thick Thigh Posse! It leaves such a silky matte finish between your thighs that feels so divine when wearing shorts or dresses. Trust that I have tried many, many products to beat chafing, and this is by far one of my top faves.

Promising review: "This is the holy grail of no chafing!!! I live by this in the summer, or anytime I have to wear swimsuits, shorts, dresses, or skirts. Goes on easily and does not feel greasy or gross on your thighs. It's unscented, so no strange smells. It also lasts for a long time — lasted all day for a Disney Trip. Best working stuff I have found, works much better than products that are in a deodorant stick style. I will never be without this chafing cream, even my husband has used this!" —aberfitchgr534

Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (also available in a pack of four or 24).

26. ~Or~ Knix cooling shorts that are not only designed to keep your thighs from chafing, but are also crafted from a ❄️cooling❄️ fabric, so you're not sweating buckets down there as well!

Knix

Promising reviews: "I’ve tried many thigh saver type under garments. These are the best ones! Silky so they don’t stick to your clothes, comfy, not shape wear, just comfort." —Heidi M.

"These thigh savers are a must for summer dress season. They are light, comfortable and fabric doesn’t stick or ride up ever. I have them in sand as well. Love them!" —Maggie D.

Get them from Amazon for $44 (available in women's sizes XS–4XL and in eight colors/prints) or from Knix for $39(available in women's sizes XS–4XL, two absorbency levels, three inseams, and in five colors).

27. A splurge-worthy knit hoodie and jogger set you'll basically have to be buried in because once you slip this set on, even parting from it for laundry day will be too much to bear. The fabric is buttery soft, lightweight, stretchy, and wrinkle-resistant. So, even when running errands or traveling, you can look sleek and polished while also being comfy as heck!

Tommy John

My boyfriend got to try this set and y'all... he was FEELING himself the moment he put it on. The fit was perfect, and it really just draped in a way that I could totally understand why he was having fun checking himself out (because I was also checking him out lol). And the fabric is truly the most buttery-feeling fabric that we have ever felt. He legit did not want to take it off.

Promising review: "Soft yet sturdy material. Good thickness to provide warmth but still be breathable. All around good day-to-day hoodie." —Joseph B.

Get it from Tommy John for $187 (originally $208; available in men's sizes S–XXL and in three colors).

28. A relaxing foot massager that combines deep-kneading Shiatsu massage, air compression, and heat to melt away soreness and breathe new life into your exhausted feet after a long day. Reviewers with plantar fasciitis, in particular, find that using it has given them a lot of relief.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased this foot massager after reading an article on CNN about the best foot massagers out there. This is the best $68 I’ve ever spent! I have just about every foot problem known to (wo)man — plantar fasciitis, a bone spur, old scar tissue from a surgery, adhesions, high arches, and the list goes on and on. Yes, this foot massager feels awesome when using it. But I also think it has improved the overall crappiness of my feet — meaning they are now less crappy! They feel better in every way, and they don’t fatigue as easily throughout the day. I stand nearly all day at work, work out daily, and am hard on my feet, and this massager is a welcome treatment when I get home from the gym/work. My only complaint is that due to how high my arches are, that portion of my feet really does not feel the rollers at all. An option for the rollers to roll ‘up’ higher would help. Multiple friends and family members have since purchased this after trying mine out. Buy it now – you will not regret it!" —KNazz

Get it from Amazon for $64.59+ (available in three colors and two sizes).

29. Frida Mom Leg + Foot Swell Spray if swollen feet and/or calves have been stealing your joy. Thoughtfully designed with an easy-to-apply spray bottle that has a 360-degree applicator, this will allow you to apply sweet relief to those swollen areas. Packed with vitamin E and squalane, it cools, hydrates, and calms tired muscles instantly and is a dream for pregnant folks (especially in the second and third trimester), who don't want to twist themselves into a pretzel to get some comfort.

Amazon

Promising review: "I had no idea I would need the in-shower lotion and foot spray this much! Both are amazing, and their usefulness is immediately noticed during the first use!" —Johnny/Victoria Carn

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

30. A pack of shower wipesfor all my peeps who turn into a sweaty mess when the thermostat goes above 80, but would also prefer not to take several showers a day. Thick, soft, and unscented, these wipes are great to use throughout your day, as they gently clean your whole body with no rinsing required. They’re also infused with aloe and vitamin E, so your skin stays happy and hydrated.

Amazon

They're also great to keep in your gym bag for a post-workout pick-me-up if you don't have time to shower.

Promising reviews: "These are excellent for travel and camping. I appreciate that they have no odor and are gentle enough for my sensitive skin." —Cherise

"I bike a short distance to work, and I don't usually get sweaty enough to justify a whole shower, but I do want to freshen up some. These are the perfect answers! The packets of 10 are lightweight. They are nicely moist, and each wipe is bigger than a baby wipe, so one is enough to freshen my entire body. The scent is just right: fresh, but not overly strong. I get to my desk at work feeling clean and professional, not worried that I stink or that I smell like baby wipes. I will be ordering more!" —Kimberly Sandbulte

Get a pack of 50 (five packs with 10 wipes each) from Amazon for $22.99 (also available in a 10-pack or 20-pack of 10 wipes and in a 40-count or 80-count individual sheet pack).

31. Secret's Whole Body Cooling Deodorant Mist, because if you're going to put some on for the day, it might as well help you to stay chill, too. This aluminum -free gem delivers an instant cooling sensation the moment it hits your skin and is strong enough to keep odors at bay for up to 24 hours. ~And~ you can use it beyond your underarms, like on your neck, chest, wrists, or feet, whenever you need an extra burst of refreshment.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was skeptical after I sprayed this on my arm in a nice air-conditioned house. It smelled lovely, and a quick sting of mint hit my skin. I was very underwhelmed. It has been a warm day, and I took this outside since I knew I would be sweaty and warm. I sprayed this on my “underboob” per the package instructions. Holy wintery coolness! It’s been 10 minutes, and I’m still feeling the chill. Apparently, it works REALLY well if you’re sweating. It dries almost instantly, and I’m a tingly fresh still." —Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in mint or lavender).

32. Arm & Hammer's Invisible Foot powder spray to keep your sweaty feet from creating blisters and unwanted smells this summer. It's talc-free and absorbs moisture while also keeping odors in check. And according to some reviewers, as long as you shake it first, it dries quickly and completely clear, so you won't have to worry about leaving a white residue everywhere. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I use this product daily because my feet sweat a lot. It's completely transparent when applied, as long as you shake it before use. Otherwise, it creates a whitish film. It controls perspiration and doesn't dry out the feet. It lasts all day. It doesn't stain socks or shoes. It acts as a deodorant, and a bottle for daily use can last up to two months if used sparingly. It's totally worth it, and its transparent appearance even allows you to wear it in open-toed shoes. It also eliminates bad odors." —Mey

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $17.97.

33. A shoe-stretch spray, because breaking in new shoes doesn’t have to feel like medieval torture on your feet. It softens up everything from leather boots to canvas sneakers and stretches them just enough to fit your feet. So instead of limping into your office or adjusting your heels every five steps, all you have to do is spray a few spritzes of this, and watch as your shoes mold to your feet like they were custom-made.

Promising review: "I purchased my second pair of Dr. Martens three days before I was headed to New Orleans. Seemed like a mistake, right? Maybe it would have been if I didn't have this spray. I used it once and then walked around the house for a bit with some thick socks on. Then I sprayed the boots again, put beer cans inside them, and let them sit overnight. I wore my NEW boots all over three different airports (thanks to layovers) and all over New Orleans. These were the only boots I packed, too. It could have ended up a nightmare, but it didn't! My boots still have a little way to go to be fully broken in, but they're definitely ahead of schedule when I compare them to my first pair. I will use this spray on every pair of boots from now to forever." —lauren

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

34. A splurge-worthy Purple seat cushion that uses a unique gel flex grid insert to ensure that your tushy is comfortably cradled, whether you do long drives or work in cafes with hard chairs. And that grid design not only helps with relieving pressure, but it also allows for maximum airflow, so you never have to worry about your bum overheating and getting sweaty.

www.amazon.com

*And* it comes with a washable cover that has a non-slip backing and handles on the sides for easy portability!

I love to work at coffee shops from time to time since I work remotely. But the one thing that can literally make working there a pain in the butt is the hard, uncomfy seats. When I got to try this similar Purple seat cushion, it made a HUGE difference in how long I was able to handle sitting on the hard chairs there. And it's so soft (but equally supportive) that I actually use it when I'm working at my dining room table too, which is pretty much every day. There's just something so unique about sitting on the gel flex grid that they put inside — it's super cushy, but it also keeps it at a comfortable temp no matter how long you're sitting on it. I've never felt overheated or anything after sitting on it all day. And as someone that's part of the 🍑 big booty brigade 🍑, it's very generous in sizing. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this Purple seat cushion pillow! It’s incredibly comfortable, and I really appreciate that it has two different sides — one firm and one softer — so you can choose what feels best. It provides great lumbar support and has completely relieved my tailbone pain. I can now stand up with ease without that sharp discomfort I used to feel. I truly wish I had bought this sooner — it’s a total game changer and nothing like any other cushion on the market. The material is also amazing; it stays cool and doesn’t give you that hot, sweaty seat feeling. Highly recommend!" —Andrew Velez

Get it from Amazon for $139 (and you can also get a complementary back cushion!).

35. Or a more affordable memory foam seat cushion to help keep your back from throwing a fit while you sit in stop-and-go traffic. This U-shaped memory foam cushion cradles your backside like a cloud and can help with spinal alignment. Back pain while being out and about? Not with this bad boy!

www.amazon.com

Its portable size also makes it great to bring to the office, on a plane, or anywhere else you might be sitting for long periods of time. Some reviewers note that if you identify as plus size, this might not feel as comfortable. So, here's a larger alternative, too!

Promising review: "I got this as we frequently drive long distances in a straight shot (made the 14-hour trip home from Canada last night, and the trip up there five days prior). I found this to be amazing for my needs (chronic back, hip, and tailbone issues). I am a small person and thought the size was good. Someone much larger may feel it’s too small or doesn’t provide the support they might need. I do have to constantly adjust, but I have to do that in ANY seat. Those are my issues. But I cannot IMAGINE making that trip WITHOUT it! It’s especially nice on bumpy or uneven terrain. It is memory foam, so if it is colder, it will be super firm at first. It does warm up and soften up after a few minutes. I would buy it again with ZERO hesitation!" —Debbie C.

Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in sizes L or XL, in black or gray and with an airflow or cooling pad).

36. A genius Mello claw clip that you could literally take a nap in if you wanted to, because it's crafted from a flexible material that won't dig into your scalp. Finally, you can now keep your hair off your back and comfortably lie down at the same time! Reviewers with thick, curly hair and straight hair both report loving this thing.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been debating buying this clip for months now, but could not justify what seemed to be the outrageous price for a hair clip. I finally decided to just try it and oh.my.gosh! I am so glad I did! This clip is fantastic! I can sit in my recliner, and I can drive my car without issue. I have long, fine hair, but A LOT of it. I also have a ridiculously sensitive scalp and struggle with ways to keep the hair up off the back of my neck without either it pulling and scalp pain or getting a headache. This clip solves that problem. It holds all of my hair up, the entire day, with zero scalp pain or headache or even just tension on my hair. I could probably take a nap wearing it. Yes, it is expensive for a hair clip. But I have spent far more than the price of it searching for something that actually works in my hair. THIS THING DOES!" —Mrs.JCM

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in 15 colors).

37. A wearable gel pack wrap so you can finally say goodbye to throbbing heels and sore arches from long days, workouts, or stubborn plantar fasciitis. It's reusable and can help with reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation by combining both cold and compression therapy. 

Amazon

NatraCure is a small biz that creates products to help with body aches.

Promising review: "This is a great ice pack kit. It holds the ice pack firmly in place against the needed area, and you can put it on as loosely or as tightly as you like. It is only good for the ankle, wrist, or foot as the wrap is just the right size for these applications. I used it for a sprained ankle/ foot, and it was very helpful. The ice pack is removable and doesn't take up much room in the freezer either. After being frozen, the ice pack keeps cool for about 20 minutes, which is a perfect ice application time. I plan to buy a second one!" —KnockKnock

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a two-pack).

38. A pair of clogsthat one might call the fraternal twin of the Birkenstock Bostons — they look v similar, but these have their own flair, too! They have cushioned arch support, a deep heel cup, and a soft suede touch that will feel like clouds on your feet — all while looking like you spent way more than you actually did.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the difference. The suede is soft and high-quality, and the cork footbed molds beautifully to my feet. The arch support is outstanding — something I usually only find in much more expensive brands. I love that these clogs work for both men and women, and the design is that perfect mix of simple, stylish, and practical. They’re incredibly lightweight, and the interior feels cushioned without being bulky. I’ve worn them around the house, on quick errands, and even for long shifts on my feet, no soreness at all. If you’re looking for comfort, support, and great craftsmanship, these “potato shoes” are a total winner. I’m already planning to grab a second pair in another color. Highly recommend!" —GastonPartyof4

Get them from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–16 and men's sizes 3.5–14.5 and in 10 colors).
