25 Target Items For Body Things You'd Rather Keep Quiet
A stick of Megababe's Thigh Rescue I can *personally* testify works anti-chafing miracles after wearing it many a task in Texas heat. I've tried a few other brands, but always end up back at Megababe because it lasts the longest and isn't grossly greasy. A Kerasel fungal nail renewal treatment because while we love Shrek, we don't exactly want his nail routine. This magic stuff helps reduce discoloration and thickness, as well as hydrate and exfoliate brittle nails to get them back on track to being ✨shiny✨ and strong. Promising review: "I noticed my big toe had nail fungus, so I tried this treatment. I've been applying it twice daily and after just 18 days, my nail looks much better. I thought it would take longer, but it's already improving." —IvyPrice: $23.99 (originally $26.49) A Bug Bite Thing insect bite suction tool to relieve itchy bites and stings from insects out for their summer ouchie hoorahs. No need to broadcast that you forgot to reapply bug spray to the world: Those meddling insects can ~suck it~. (Or at least your new tool can!) Promising review: "It ONLY works if you use it right away, but it DOES work. People who say it doesn't work are likely waiting too long. You have to keep it with you and use it as soon as you feel the bite. That's the trick to it. Great product." —FeralHousewifePrice: $9.99 A K-beauty snail mucin essence I've not gone without since 2020 because this is a GOOD bandwagon to be on, trust me. This was a big part of the popular glass skin movement on TikTok, but all I care is that it helps tame my adult acne flare-ups and fits seamlessly into my morning (and evening!) skincare routines. Promising review: "This is very hydrating. My bedtime moisturizer wouldn't leave me feeling very hydrated, but after adding this into my bedtime routine my skin feels nice and moisturized for the night!" —Emily Price: $8.50+ (available in two sizes) A Colgate teeth-whitening pen to start getting your smile summer travel pic ready by removing discoloration and stains with a swipe of a pen. Brush and floss before applying, but then get ready to unleash your million-watt smile!

Tip makes it possible to get in between teeth where it is hard to get other whiteners." —MsMacPrice: $26.49 A pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatments that finally broke me of my pimple-popping habit because these work so much better and leave your face less red. Just put them on for six hours or so (I use mine at night) and watch as they work their gunk-removal magic! Promising review: "Hero is the only brand of pimple patches that actually work for me. These pimple patches are part of my necessity items in my bathroom drawer and I carry a few with me when I travel. One patch will help dry a pimple up and these patches work fast. No more popping, picking or scarring!" —VolMom2025Price: $8.99+ (available in two pack sizes) A Dr. Scholl's callus-removing gel and foot file for smoother feet if you're tired of your cracked skin snagging on your socks every day.

It's hypoallergenic, too, so there's a low chance of a weird skin irritation popping up when you give it a go! Promising review: "Gave this moisturizer a try for a few months and very impressed. My skin tone has evened out and dark spots are not getting darker with many hours in the sun every day." —MamagremlinPrice: $8.99 An Aveeno foot mask if your feet are dry, dry, dry from all that sandal wearing. Get them back into tip-top shape by giving them their own personal spa day while you relax on the couch and catch up on your fave shows. Pro tip from someone who loves these: Keep them on a full 30 minutes. There is SO much product in these little booties, give your feet a chance to fully soak them up and then wring out the extra when you're done and give yourself a foot massage. My feet are SO soft after using these and I always have some on hand in my cabinet. Promising review: "Adding to my weekly routine. I've done foot peels and they help but not before a week of sloughing. This is a 10 minute deep conditioning that left my feet super soft and moisturized. Next time I'll use after a proper soak and scrub and expect to have silky soft feet. Well worth the money if you do pedis at home." —DailyJuicerPrice: $3.69 And Aveeno hand masks so your paws can also get in on the pampering action. Nobody wants to fess up to crummy cuticles and flaky fingers, but this will help rehab your hands so you don't even have to mention them before ~they're gone~. (The flakes and crumbs, obviously. Not your hands.) Promising review: "First off super easy to use, not messy at all. I was skeptical, my hands get so dry that they crack and bleed. I put these on and instantly felt relief. I hardly recognized my hands when I took them off! Smooth and pain free! Life changing! I'm stocking up on these bad boys!!!" —MommaBirdPrice: $3.69 A Debrox earwax removal kit if you constantly have earplugs or in-ear headphones clogging up your ear's natural cleaning system. 🙋🏻♀️ Since we're apparently *not* supposed to use cotton swabs in our ear canals, these drops are the answer to helping flush out all that ick. And what a treat this stuff is! I use it about once every three to six months just because I SWEAR my ears feel cleaner afterwards. (And the drops actually foam in your ears which is fun!)Promising review: "This saved me a trip to urgent care. It worked great! My ear was plugged for about a week and nothing was working. It worked the first time using it. I highly recommend!" —KimPrice: $9.99 A pair of Proof overnight period underwear for those nights when you've got a heavy flow but don't wanna bother with tampons or pads.

Tested them on a heavy night and NO leakage. I am so happy to have this comfortable option." —Realtor Mo"Excellent quality. It's really absorbent, doesn't look bulky." —BelloPrice: $24.99 (available in sizes S–XL) A set of acupressure anti-nausea wristbands if motion sickness has plagued you down the years, and enough is finally enough. These work by applying pressure to your wrist, which might just help with car sickness and nausea. Life is stressful enough without wanting to gag at the thought of getting in a plane, train, or automobile, so do yourself a favor and throw these in your cart so you can then throw them in your bag! Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer reviews: "Traveled during 7–8 weeks of pregnancy, and these saved my life more than a couple of times. Highly recommend." —Sbrown9412"These are LIFE-CHANGING for me!!!! I get SO carsick all the time even just staring forward. Driving through the mountains and windy roads while having to work on my laptop, and somehow I'm not carsick while wearing these. Buy them!!!!!! So much better than taking meds." —YummmPrice: $11.19 for a 2-pack A can of antifungal foot spray to help treat and prevent most cases of athlete's foot or jock itch. Use it daily to make sure redness and itchiness stay as far away from you and your cute shoes as possible. Promising review: "This is the best antifungal foot spray I have EVER used. It sprays very easily and doesn't dry out your skin, and it really does the job of keeping my feet clean and dry and itch free. It also prevents my heels from cracking, and my toe nails look super healthy. I look at them now and I swear they look like a child's. …Really beautiful! I've tried several other brands and nothing works as well or feels as nice as this spray. Try this and you'll never use another one, I promise; It's THAT good!" —Diane $6.39 A bottle of Bio-Oil — a friend practically threw one at me when I complained of my nose being scaly. I have since used this on very old scars and can confirm this is a miracle elixir that should cost much more than 10 buckeroos. Sometimes I put a couple of drops in my daily moisturizer ~just for fun~ because it also smells amazing. Promising review: "I've been using this for about a month now and can tell a big difference in a scar I have. Also, just love the moisture it provides my skin. I use it on my whole face, not just the scar area and I think it has brightened my skin." —BoysbaseballandbohoPrice: $6.49+ (available in three sizes) Or an Aquaphor Healing Ointment! I got on the Aquaphor train after having a baby (because this stuff is GREAT for preventing diaper rash), but now it's never leaving my home because I use it on my lips, on my dry elbows, and anywhere else that needs some TLC. My kid calls it "the special lotion" and it really is. Promising review: "Amazing during the drier months. We use on hands, lips, elbows, cheeks, everywhere. It is very oily and thick so it is better to use at night if you don't like the consistency. It works wonderful! I will sometimes out lotion on my kid's hands and wrists then use this on top before bed and it works great to help with very dry skin." —CeebeePrice: $6.29 A pair of Tweezerman slant tweezers so you can kiss stray eyebrow hairs, chin hairs, and everywhere-in-between hairs a not-so-fond farewell. If you can't beat 'em, pluck 'em! That's my motto. Promising reviews: "I will never buy another brand of tweezers. Love Tweezerman. Precise, sharp, excellent quality." —R"I recently bought this tweezer to replace my old tweezer man that I had had for over five years. These are just as good as my old ones. I won't use any other brand! They do the job!" —maggie92Price: $22.05+ (available in three colors) A Dove 72-hour deodorant that helped me get rid of that weird armpit discoloration for good and keeps me from sweating and smelling in Texas summers. (I can't stress how high of praise this is for anything that has to go up against 100+ degree heat on the regular.) It's formulated with "Pro-Ceramide Technology," which works to help replenish and strengthen your skin's natural barrier by potentially boosting ceramide levels (which naturally reduce when you shave) to keep shaving and heat-caused redness away!Promising review: "Hands down my favorite deodorant! Last all day, no residue, and smells so nice. Worth the price." —Target CustomerPrice: $6.99 A pack of breath-freshening TheraBreath gum: You already know and love their mouthwashes.

TheraBreath has got you covered.) Price: $6.99 for a 24-count Some Happy Hair People leave-in conditioner if your hair is damaged from color, sun, or just ~existing~ in 2025.

Also: It really *does* smell amazinggggg. It's like a lil' (happy) treat for taking good care of your hair! Promising reviews: "This product smells amazing and has made my dry, course hair feel considerably softer without feeling sticky or greasy. I really like it!" —chicagomom123"Smells like a dream. Reminds me of a lush scent. It is water based so it doesn't leave me hair oily, does a very good job at hydrating the hair throughout the day. I even apply it on second day hair and it doesn't buildup or make it oily." —SPrice: $7.99 Some of the internet-famous Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil that's famous for a reason: It's affordable. It smells amazing. Oh, and it WORKS. My greatest shopping writer regret is not taking "before" pics of using this stuff because it helped my postpartum thinning spot better than anything else I've tried. (And without the strong chemical smells of some of the other stuff, thank you very much.) Some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This works great! I use it on my hair the night before I am planning on doing a wash. It always leaves my hair feeling great the next day!" —CpowellPrice: $10.49 A rechargeable Philips Sonicare toothbrush your dentist is probably always telling you to buy, and you should. Lazy perfection for oral hygiene is my most favorite kind of lazy perfection because when I brush my teeth, I want them to be set up for success with all the summer sugary treats I'll be eating this season. Snackities before cavities. Promising reviews: "This toothbrush is fantastic. It really leaves your teeth feeling much cleaner. The different intensities and different cleaning modes really allow you to experience a deep clean every time and is much better than other brushes I've tried before." —Gwills"Sonicare makes the best. It's amazing how clean my teeth feel." —Target CustomerPrice: $129.99 (available in two colors) A three-pack of dermaplaning razors so you can shape your brows, remove unwanted facial hair, or exfoliate your face on the cheap. (I'd make a hair pun here, but perhaps I should just cut it out... and put these in my cart already.) Promising reviews: "The blade is sharp, and I love that each one comes with a safety cover. Great for at home dermaplaning." —PTC"These work way better than any other dermaplaning tool I've used. I haven't got cut from them yet (hopefully I don't jinx myself!) Other brands would always cut my face no matter what technique I used or how gentle I was." —RagamuffinPrice: $6.29 A Hyland's topical salve with so many applications, you'd be a silly goose not to have this on hand. Ingrown hairs, splinters, bug bites, and boils... This salve is basically a magic potion ready to aid you at every turn. Promising reviews: "If you get stubborn under the skin pimples, try this! It works so well when applied consistently." —30 something mama"I put this on overnight for any stubborn under skin pimple. The stuff is a must have." —Mel MPrice: $6.99 A warm vanilla-scented Eva NYC dry shampoo because we as a society should not be punished with strong artificial smells and sticky roots for getting rid of our greasy hair. Enhanced with vitamin C and fatty acids, this will actually nourish your hair and make it smell amazing! Promising review: "Tried this for the first time today and I absolutely love it! Works great and smells amazing!" —AnnabellePrice: $15.69

WWII veteran and social media star 'Papa Jake' dies at 102
The TikTok logo hangs in the TikTok media booth near Radio Row in the days leading up to Super Bowl LVII in Phoenix, Arizona in 2023. WWII veteran and social media star "Papa Jake" Larson, who had more than 1.2 million followers on the social media platform, died Saturday at the age of 102. File photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 20 (UPI) -- A World War II veteran who became a social media sensation and captivated millions of people with his stories has died at the age of 102. Jake Larson, who became known as "Papa Jake," died "peacefully and was cracking jokes til the very end," her granddaughter, Mikaela Larson, said in a TikTok post Saturday. "I am so thankful to have shared my Papa Jake with you all," Makaela Larson said in her post. "When the time is right, I will continue to share Papa Jake's stories and keep his memory alive. We appreciate all the kind words and posts. As Papa would say, love you all the mostest." Jake Larson was born in Owatonna, Minn. on Dec. 20, 1922 and joined the National Guard when he was age 15 by claiming that he was 18. He was assigned to the U.S. Army's 135th Infantry Regiment in the 34th Infantry Division, known as the "Red Bull." He was deployed to Ireland during WWII, and then shipped to June 6, 1944, one of 34,000 Allied soldiers who stormed Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, which was occupied by Germany. "Papa Jake" gained a worldwide following on social media with the help of his family, and later created a TikTok page with the "@storytimewithpapajake" handle, where his appeal grew to more than 1.2 million followers, and where his posts have garnered more than 11 million likes. He also has more than 16,000 YouTube subscribers. Many of his social media posts recounted his encounters on Omaha Beach, where he escaped enemy machine gun fire in addition to other recollections of fighting advancing German soldiers. "It seemed like the landing was an eternity, with all the firing going on....I can't describe it. And people would say 'Were you scared?' I was scared of stepping on a landmine, and that's what I was trying to prevent," he said in a video posted by the U.S. Army last month. "I was 5 foot 7 at that time. I weighed 120 pounds and I said, "Thank God the Germans aren't good at shooting toothpicks." At least 2,400 hundred Americans died during the Normandy invasion. "There's going to be casualties but we're willing to risk that," he said in the video. "We had to get this done. We have to relieve the world of this guy called Hitler." Larson was the recipient of a Bronze star from the U.S. Army Legion of Honor, which is France's highest honor. An interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour won an Emmy Award in June.
