33 Products You'll Want For Your Embarrassing Problems
A teeth-whitening pen if you want a brighter smile without the irritation of whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades. Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houskaGet a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95 (also available individually and in packs of four). A set of Kegel weights to not only help with incontinence but also potentially make sex easier, less painful, and more enjoyable. These are especially great for people who've just given birth, though anyone can benefit from strengthening their pelvic floor muscles. Read more about Kegel exercises at Cleveland review: "Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program, you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, and no more mad dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth, you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." —Lady TauberGet a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.99. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover that'll help you wipe away soap scum and residue in your shower in half the time it normally takes you to clean. It's biodegradable, so the scent won't singe your nose hairs and make you gag.

I bought this product because of the reviews, and wow!!! I just bought my home, and my water is from a new well, which stained my toilets and I was so embarrassed when anyone would go to a brand new house with a dirty, stained toilet, but this did the job!!!! I have used many products, and this worked perfectly!!! You need to do a bit of scrubbing, but it's all worth it. Extremely happy with the results!!!" —Luis RoqueGet it from Amazon for $19.99. Some acne patches for those days when a pimple pops up at the *worst* possible moment. They absorb all the gunk lurking in your whiteheads and create a barrier to prevent you from picking or popping. And they're sheer enough that you can wear them out in public. A Squatty Potty, because a bout of constipation shouldn't leave you down in the ~dumps~. Squatting changes the angle of your anal canal, opening it up so it's easier for things to exit. Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland review: "I have known about this product for years since seeing it on Shark Tank. I know lots of people who use it and always thought to myself, 'I don't have problems, so I don't need it.' Well, a pelvic physical therapist suggested it to me to help with my issue with a large prostate. The results are pretty amazing, not only for the issue I had but for clearing my bowels, which was an issue I didn't think I had a problem with. The best thing is that I used to wait until I couldn't hold it any longer. When using this product, I can go even if I don't feel an urgent urge. I strongly recommend it!" —L HudsonIf you want more Squatty Potty content before making the best purchase of your life, check out our Squatty Potty it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes).

I won't go back!" —Cale it from Amazon and Tushy for $129+ (available in nine colors). And don't forget a before-you-go toilet spray to hide any evidence. Even if you're one of those weirdly confident people who can poop in a house full of people without issue, having this in your bathroom for others can calm nervous pooers. Promising review: "New Year's Day 2019 I wake up at my friend's house after a night of partying to the smell of fresh coffee and bacon frying in the kitchen. So I get up and say good morning to everyone, get me some coffee, and think to myself, 'Hey! The entire house smells like bacon. It's probably an opportune time for me to 'drop the kids off at the pool' because no one will notice anything I'm making in the bathroom over what Michelle is making in her kitchen.' Anyway, I look on top of the bowl and there's this stuff. For added protection against embarrassment, I pump a couple of sprays into the bowl and do my stuff. Yup now I totally smell bacon and oranges, but not a whiff of anything else that might cause my friends to ask me if I need to see a doctor or something. So now I keep a bottle with me just in case I'm in one of those situations when I have, you know, a brown dog scratching at the back door, but don't want anyone to know that I'm letting him out." —D. Grieco it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in a variety of sizes). A cuticle oil that'll restore your shredded nails after a gel mani.

Plus it also comes with a syringe to help you wash out the pocket the tonsil stone left behind. If you suspect you have tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths), talk to your dentist or doctor! They can perform a physical exam or imaging scan and deliver a review: "I'm in my early 30s and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! I've been struggling with cotton swabs to fully remove the stones, but couldn't get rid of them, and they would just come back within the week. I received this and investment ever. No struggle holding my phone as a flashlight while awkwardly posing myself in front of my badly lit bathroom mirror. I sat comfortably at my vanity, used one hand, and removed the whole stone in less than a minute. Why did I not know this was a thing? Why have I been struggling? Get it! Stop struggling, suffering, and awkwardly dealing with this ridiculous me." —WrenGet it from Amazon for $9.93+ (available in two colors and a two-pack). A jetted tub cleaner, because who knows when the last time you cleaned it was. (I hate to break it to you, but you're probably chillaxing in dirty water.) This cleanser is made to flush out soap scum, body oils, and those black flakes that gunk up your tub's jets. Promising review: "They don't call this Oh Yuk! for no reason. I previously used Jacuzzi's two-part system, and this worked sooo much better. I was totally embarrassed, not to mention grossed out, at how much funk came out. It was NASTY! It definitely cleans your tub. You will probably have to clean the sides of your tub after it's finished because of how much stuff might come out. I swear I clean my tub on a regular basis, but I was amazed at how much better this worked. Highly recommend!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $18.73.

Give your tired arms a break and let this little guy scrub away discoloration with ease. This non-toxic cleaner is tough on dirt but gentle on porcelain so you can sit atop the listening throne you deserve. Promising review: "I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly, the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple of years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" —Stephanie RayGet it from Amazon for $11.99. A foot file so your heels are in sandal-ready condition. Rub gently and watch the dead skin and calluses fall like shredded cheese to reveal baby soft heels. Promising review: "I'm not one to talk about my feet. I've had circulation problems for years that are just now resolving, and that has led to deep calluses on the heel of both feet. I bought this on a whim as I have tried other products in the past with no luck. Twenty minutes later, I'm touching baby-smooth skin where there used to be deep cracks and rough broken skin. This thing is a miracle-worker, and if I could rate it 10 stars, I would." —Gully176Get it from Amazon for $9.95. A pack of earbud cleaners because you wanna clearly hear your true crime podcast. Squish the flexible square into your AirPods, peel it off, and gasp in horror at the ear goop that's been dulling the sound quality. That photo! That goop! Promising review: "I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using cotton buds to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there's stuff built up and hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five minutes to clean each ear bud effectively and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest giving this product. You don't need a full square to clean them, so you can pull a piece off or reuse a square with a side you haven't used! SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon CustomerGet 12 from Amazon for $15.99. A TubShroom if your relaxing showers have turned into you standing in a puddle of water for 15 minutes because the drain is This little guy snags the hair you shed before it can collect in the pipes. Promising review: "I have long hair and recently had a baby. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair, then it would be worth its salt. Holy moly. When they say it catches every hair, they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice A WEEK! And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —sasamoGet it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors and in packs of two). A tube of antiperspirant hand cream to dry your hands if you suffer from hyperhidrosis (excess sweating), or if you're just nervous! Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shaken a hand outside of mine ever before in his life. It broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set up an appointment with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on, and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high-fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now, and it is working AMAZING." —HECTOR LORENZOGet it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three scents and multi-packs). A collagen-coating hair treatment that's safe for all hair types and will revitalize a dry, damaged, and overprocessed mane overnight. This reparative five-minute hair mask will revive your mane and leave it soft, silky, and smooth. An antifungal tea tree balm for treating basically any somewhat embarrassing skin condition you can think of: athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and even just dry skin. Promising review: "I ordered this balm on a whim as a remedy for a skin rash, and was very impressed with its effectiveness! After getting rid of my rash, I decided to try it elsewhere, and it worked wonders on dry skin areas like elbows, knees, and feet. I was blown away by how I changed my feet entirely! As a dancer, my feet have always been a war zone: dry skin, calluses, ingrown toenails, and athlete's foot (all frequent problems over the course of many years). I was always embarrassed to wear sandals or any type of shoes that would show off parts of my feet because of all the dry skin, but sometimes it couldn't be avoided. This balm has made my feet the loveliest they have been, and now I can choose any type of shoes I want to wear without embarrassment." —anengstromGet it from Amazon for $36.33. A box of wart-removing pads that you apply like bandages so you can be rid of your extra growth. Be gone, appendage! Promising review: "This stuff works! I've never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to Google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! Eww, embarrassing! So I got the freeze off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the freeze off three times and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus, but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! Bought the invisible strips and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn't believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying the strip. By the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!" —Audrey 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in two styles and in larger packs). A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating eye cream because you're tired of your mom constantly asking you, "Are you getting enough sleep?" on your weekly FaceTime, even though she should darn well know that your dark circles are hereditary (thnx a lot, Mom!). Promising review: "This is the second review I've done on Amazon. I rarely go out of my way to write a review unless I'm truly amazed by the product. I have terrible sunken-in eyes (due to genetics) that can't really be fixed without fillers (which I'd never do). No matter how much sleep I get, I have bad dark circles, so I decided that I had to invest in an eye cream. I'm so glad I did! I used a cheap drugstore eye cream that really only made it look like I had water under my eyes, and it did nothing else. This eye cream is so hydrating and smooth! It really evens out my skin tone and wakes up my face in the morning! I feel so refreshed and dare I It's boosted my confidence a ton. I'm so happy with this product!" —casie ackermanGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). A grout paint pen to cover up the mortifyingly large amount of dirt and grime that has fallen into the cracks. It works like a regular marker, so even the people who failed art can use it. And it beats actually having to clean! 🙃 Promising review: "I don't hate my old tile as much! My husband and I renovated our ground level into an entertaining area. The tile, on the other hand, was old and just would have cost way too much money to pull up. Needless to say, the area came out amazing. Now I don't hate the tile because the grout was so dirty, and I could not get it clean as much. I highly recommend this product. Now, when I walk downstairs, I don't cringe looking at the floor anymore. I will purchase another pen or two just to go over it later on. I'm not embarrassed by my floors anymore." —LUCYANNGet it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two tip widths and a variety of colors). A bottle of dentist-approved mouthwash for helping reduce the severity of your swamp breath, whether it's caused by a medical issue or because you just drank coffee and orange juice. This one's made sans alcohol, so it won't burn when you swish it around your mouth. Promising review: "Why didn't I find it before? It's very embarrassing to admit, but I had very stinky breath. It did smell like s..t and I tried many products that didn't work. Just follow instructions and 'deep throat' gargle for 30 seconds or so for best results. I can say that my breath has improved by 50%, which is a huge huge difference. Morning breath is not as bad. I can talk to people with confidence and that all it counts. Thank you Amazon!!!" —Shopper5Get a pack of two from Amazon for $ You can learn more by reading my colleague's in-depth TheraBreath oral rinse deep dive. A natural shoe deodorizer spray so you don't have to wash your feet the minute you get home to get rid of the funk from your work flats. It's made with essential oils and smells like lemon and eucalyptus so you'll probably want to spray it around the rest of your house, too. Promising review: "This product WORKS! You won't be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty, and this spray helps keep the awful odors away at least four to five days (probably longer, but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell haha!) The lemon is strong and the eucalyptus I love, so I would purchase again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also, so I'm sure I'll soon be using this in his shoes also." —Traeannah BrownGet it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in three scents). A denture cleaner because, despite brushing your retainer each night, it's somehow coated in some weird white film. These fizzing tablets will blast away odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque from your Invisalign, retainers, dentures, night guards, and more. A box of extra strength Gas-X chewables if you know you should avoid dairy but your Friday night plans include mac 'n' cheese, nachos, and ice cream. Promising review: "Sometimes you eat something that is too rich on an empty stomach and wham — the pain, the bloating, the weird weird noises start. And then if you have this, within minutes, it helps relieve the gas, bloating, and discomfort. Taking this is nothing to be ashamed about; it happens to everyone whether they like to admit it or not." —MusicLoverGet a pack of 72 chewable tablets from Amazon for $14.48.

These itty bitty razors are great for stashing in your purse for touch-ups on the go. Promising review: "I'm a hairy gal. Hormonal problems ruled out by my physician; it's just hereditary. My cheeks, neck, forehead, and chin are covered in a fine ever-growing peach fuzz. If I cease shaving, I shall acquire a boat and thus forth be dubbed blonde beard. My mustache is darker and thicker, something I think a lot of women experience. I have been shaving for a while with a men's razor (Gillette Fusion ProGlide for reference) and shaving cream but it just couldn't give me a close enough shave. ENTER SCHICK SILK TOUCH-UP! Holy wow! I've been dry shaving my entire face and some of my neck with these and no irritation, plus it is the closest shave I have gotten. No pulling or scraping like other 'mini razors.' It's quicker than doing what I call a 'dad shave' in the shower, and I can see what I'm shaving because I'm at my makeup table and there's no shaving cream obstructing my view (I don't want to accidentally hack off the hair by my ears or forehead). Plus, I compared this to other (what I call) mini razors and it's twice the size. So very efficient for doing your whole face, easy for detailing those brows. I love this product and hope that they sell it forever. It works on my peach fuzz, mustache, and brows. If I ever get word that they are going to stop making them, I will hoard them all." —Dr. Eleanor AbernathyGet a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94 (or Subscribe & Save for $5.64/month). A clay mask for vacuuming the gunk out of your pores. It may also help reduce the frequency of your breakouts and soften your skin. Promising review: "I bought this as a last hope for cystic acne. I bought raw apple cider vinegar with the mother to mix with the clay powder because I heard that worked best for people experiencing skin problems. My skin has been a rollercoaster for the past five years. But recently, things have gotten really out of control. My self-esteem is the lowest it's been. This mask had been such a lifesaver. I'm not sure words can describe how impressed I am with this healing clay mask. Since my skin has been through hell and I've literally tried everything, it's pretty resilient, so I've been using this mask every night for the last four days. It's not nearly as drying as I thought it would be, so that hasn't been an issue. But the mask has dried up everything, and I have no new breakouts. I was so happy that I cried. If I could give this product a million stars, I would!" —Afton StAmourGet it from Amazon for $ our Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay deep dive and discover more of its many uses.

Thank goodness I saved myself hundreds of dollars by giving this product a shot. I used it four of five times (over a month) and it cleared my scalp almost completely. One more use and my scalp will be 120% healed! This stuff blew my mind. Totally worth it." —chrisGet it from Amazon for $15.88. An odor-eliminating spray because you're pretty sure your houseguests think your living room smells like cat pee (you definitely think so!) since your kitty urinates in the same corner. This'll lift stains and odors fast. Plus, each spray releases bacteria that feed on the ammonia left behind after your pet's accidents, eliminating the urine completely and deterring your pet from peeing in the same spot again. Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem, and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pods, I saturate the area with Rocco & Roxie's odor remover and let it dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee!" —mona miaGet it from Amazon for $20.39+ (available in two scents). A pack of gas-neutralizing pads if your farts smell worse than the dog's (and the dog eats poop!). Each antimicrobial activated charcoal pad traps foul-smelling gas molecules so toxic toots are a thing of the past. Promising review: "My significant other has a butt that wants to violently suffocate everyone. This was originally a gag (pun intended) gift but, when used, it actually worked. Most, if not all, of the smell went away with the particularly terrible poots. We joke that we should get some more." —SunshineGet a pack of five from Amazon for $12.99.

Beware these 3 supplements that can be really harmful if you take too much
Talk about supplemental damage. Today's world of wellness can sometimes seem like a merry-go-round of supplements promising you better sleep, healthier skin and extended longevity. But while many of these supplements can be a true healthy hack — what happens if you take too much? 3 A new study proves there really can be too much of a good thing. Diana Vyshniakova – A recent study published in the journal Cureus warns of the dangers of overdosing on three popular supplements. Selenium Found in Brazil nuts, organ meat, seafood, grains and dairy products, selenium is a mineral that can protect the body from infection. It can also help protect telomeres, the tiny caps at the ends of our chromosomes that shrink as we age and are linked to cancer, heart issues and other chronic conditions. But, taken in excess, selenium supplementation can lead to selenosis — an unpleasant condition marked by hair loss, nail brittleness and a metallic taste in your mouth. It can also be accompanied by gastrointestinal issues, fatigue and garlic breath. While symptoms generally abate after you stop taking it, nail growth might be slow to improve. 3 Taken in excess, selenium supplementation can lead to selenosis — an unpleasant condition marked by hair loss, nail brittleness and a metallic taste in your mouth. YULIYA – Niacin Niacin (Vitamin B3) is commonly added to 'detox' supplements and even energy drinks — and is often touted for its cholesterol-lowering properties. But, when taken in large doses, it can cause a bright red facial flush, burning skin sensation, itchiness and even liver toxicity. These symptoms are often misdiagnosed as rosacea or allergic reaction, especially among women following influencer-approved 'cleanse' regimens. 3 When taken in large doses, zinc can cause a bright red facial flush, burning skin sensation, itchiness and even liver toxicity. dream@do – Zinc Zinc is an electrolyte that's important for immunity, skin and hair health. However, taken in excess, zinc can cause skin irritation, copper deficiency and anemia — and may worsen acne in sensitive individuals. Overall, the study points to the fact that, while sometimes helpful, many social media trends can be harmful to the health of viewers. 'Recent analyses indicate that a significant proportion of nutrition-related content on platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and TikTok may lack scientific rigor or present unverified claims,' the study's authors write. 'A recent study evaluating nutrition-related TikTok posts found that 55% lacked evidence-based information, and 90% failed to adequately discuss the risks and benefits of the nutritional advice provided. 'Moreover, only 36% of analyzed posts were classified as completely accurate, highlighting the extent of misinformation prevalent on popular social media channels.'

Pregnant Woman Goes Into Labor, Then Sees Her Doctor From Hospital Window
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The dramatic moment when a doctor sprinted across a hospital car park to deliver a baby has gone viral on TikTok, racking up 4.6 million views. The footage, shared by mom-of-four Angelica (@epicangelicanatalie), shows Dr. Christopher Kraft racing against time, as she was already 10cm dilated when he got the call. Angelica, who lives in Houston, Texas, told Newsweek: "Dr. Kraft came in perfectly calm with a 'ready to have a baby?' As if he wasn't just running in July Florida heat." The text layered over the clip states Piece Epic was born five minutes later. Angelica holding her newborn son and her family visiting them in hospital. Angelica holding her newborn son and her family visiting them in hospital. Provided by Angelica According to CDC data, a total of 3,596,017 births occurred in the United States in 2023, down 2 percent from 2022. The general fertility rate also declined 3 percent, falling to 54.5 births per 1,000 females aged 15–44 in 2023. Kraft has been Angelica's doctor for the past five years, but Epic is the first one he has delivered—just over a week ago. She told Newsweek: "The last office visit I had with him I insisted that I did not want him to miss this one! "We timed it perfectly with a very light induction considering I was very far dilated already, and my son was born eight hours later." Before filming the now-viral clip—which has gained almost 557,000 likes—Angelica said a nurse had mentioned how they often see Dr. Kraft running from his office to see patients. Then, like clockwork, they looked out of a third-floor window and saw him doing exactly that. "We found it so caring that he puts in that effort, and funny at the same time," she said. "I'm usually the one with a camera in my hand, but this time my husband Sage was the one who was recording, and his commentary made the video so perfectly wholesome." Indeed, Sage can be heard laughing, saying "he is ready," and complimenting the doctor's pace. Kraft told Newsweek: "While she was in labor, I was seeing patients in my office and monitoring her progress very closely. The nurse had reached out to me and informed me that delivery appeared imminent. "Once I got the word, I rushed from my office down four flights of stairs and ran out the backdoor to the hospital. I needed to get there as quickly as possible to ensure her safety and the safety of her baby, and running was my only option." Angelica requested a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC), and Kraft was supportive of her decision. According to the American Pregnancy Association, most studies show that 60–80%—or about 3 to 4 out of every 5 women—who've had a previous C-section can have a successful vaginal birth. However, there are risks, which is why Kraft didn't want to miss a thing. TikTok Reacts So far, the clip has over 3,000 comments - some from parents who recognize Kraft and others sharing their birthing experiences. "My doctor came literally stumbling in. Dude got caught in the curtain got twisted up and fell and popped back up and said it's baby time," said one user. Another wrote: "My doc knew I'd deliver within minutes, we called him and he was half asleep and said "IM ON MY WAY, LOVE YOU BYE" I said "love you too." "With my 2nd the doctor said it would be 2-3 hours until I had to push. Wrong, it was 10 minutes. He came crashing into the room said "whoops" and caught my son one handed," said a third commenter.
