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 flareups and fits seamlessly into my morning (and evening!) skincare routines.

No more popping, picking or scarring!" —VolMom2025Price: $9.79+ (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.

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: $4.59 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: $4.59 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 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: $10.49 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.

It's really absorbent, doesn't look bulky." —BelloPrice: $26.99 (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: $10.99 for a 2-pack A can of antifungal foot spray to 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 $7.99 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: $7.79 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: $29.49 (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: $8.49 A pack of breath-freshening TheraBreath gum: You already know and love their mouthwashes. Now you can follow up throughout the day with bursts of sugar-free, icy mint so after-lunch breath doesn't even cross your mind as a concern. (Enjoy those extra onions if you want! TheraBreath has got you covered.) Price: $7.69 for a 24-count Some Living Proof triple bond complex leave-in treatment if your hair is damaged from color, sun, or just ~existing~ in 2025. (🙋🏻♀️) My hair was dry and hay-like on the ends, but no more with this miracle leave-in treatment! Just leave it on your tresses for about 10 minutes after showering and voila! Price: $45 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: $10.99 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 setup 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: $109.99 (originally $129.99, available in four 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 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: $7.69 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 stainless-steel tongue scraper to give your tongue the same kind of deep clean you like to give your car, your toilet, your everything.

I really like how wide the scraper is. It's light, cleans easy, great feel to it. The quality is more than what I expected for its pricing." —MomoPrice: $11.99 for a two-pack (originally $16.99) 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.

Works great and smells amazing!" —AnnabellePrice: $16.99

A Mosquito Expert Told Me the ‘Bug Bite Thing' Is Bunk. I Love It Anyway.
When I recently asked my Wirecutter colleagues to share their thoughts on the Bug Bite Thing, a suction doohickey that purportedly relieves painful, itchy insect bites and stings without using chemicals, their replies were all over the map: 'I like it. My wife hates it.' 'No, it does not work!' 'It feels like it works pretty good, but not every time.' When I scrolled through the Bug Bite Thing's 58 pages of customer reviews on Amazon (where its average star rating stands at a respectable 4.1 out of 5), I saw the same gamut of opinions, from 'game changer' to 'kinda works' to 'nope.' And when I recently spoke about the Bug Bite Thing with Immo Hansen, an associate professor of biology at New Mexico State University and a principal investigator at the school's Molecular Vector Physiology Lab, he told me, 'I would not recommend this thing. But that's my personal opinion.' Expertise and authority be damned: I still highly recommend it. I bought my first Bug Bite Thing in 2021, two years after the company's founder and CEO, Kelley Higney, ignited a bidding war for the tool on Shark Tank . (She imports the Bug Bite Thing from Denmark; this type of tool has been around Europe for decades.) I've since purchased more Bug Bite Things to stash in places like my car, my beach bag, and my purse. Whenever I use one to treat a mosquito bite (I've never had occasion to try it on a bee or wasp sting, knock on wood), I sing its praises to anyone and everyone within earshot. So it may surprise you that I also agree with all of those other opinions above. The Bug Bite Thing is seemingly based on suspicious-at-best science, and it definitely does not work 100% of the time. And yet, I staunchly believe that for anyone contending with critters — especially mosquitoes — the Bug Bite Thing is an absolutely worthwhile tool to have on hand. For the uninitiated, let me break down how the Bug Bite Thing supposedly works, why it almost certainly does not work the way it claims to, and how it somehow still works (just not always). The Bug Bite Thing is a plastic, syringe-like contraption (don't worry, there's no needle) that's about the size of a glue stick. To treat a bite, you place its mouth over the bite area, and then you slowly pull up its plunger-style handles to create suction. After holding it that way for 10 to 20 seconds, you let go of the handles to release the suction. According to the company that makes the tool, this action will remove whatever foreign substance is causing you discomfort, whether it's mosquito saliva, bee or wasp venom, a bee stinger, or even a splinter. The Bug Bite Thing can create a surprising amount of suction. Rose Maura Lorre Those simple instructions do come with caveats. You might have to repeat the process once, twice, or even three times before you start feeling relief. The quicker you can treat a fresh bite, the company notes, the greater your odds are of treating it successfully. The suctioning can leave a temporary red mark that may resemble a hickey. It's not recommended to use the Bug Bite Thing on your face or neck, where those hickey marks can become more pronounced and welt-like. To use the Bug Bite Thing, place the mouth of the device over your bite or sting, and then pull up on the handles to create suction. After you release the handles, you may find a temporary, reddish mark is left behind (as seen in the second pic). Rose Lorre/NYT Wirecutter The reversible suction cap has two mouth sizes. The smaller one (about a quarter-inch wide) can purportedly be used 'on smaller areas like fingers and toes.' However, I find that the smaller mouth hole provides much weaker suction, so I use only the wider side. The Bug Bite Thing's reversible suction cap has two different mouth sizes. I always use the bigger one (right) because I find that the smaller one (left) creates much weaker suction. Rose Lorre/NYT Wirecutter But perhaps the biggest caveat, as Higney confirmed to me in an email, is that the company doesn't have any clinical trials demonstrating the product's efficacy. Hansen, the mosquito expert, told me in our phone interview that he can't point to any scientific explanation for the Bug Bite Thing, either. 'Without having tested it myself in a scientific way, which would be hard to do, I'd say that I don't think you can remove mosquito saliva from the bite site using it,' he said. 'I'd say there's a 0.000001% chance that it actually has a scientific background.' His main contention is that the puncture wound caused by a mosquito bite is too narrow and shallow to be reused as a channel for removing saliva or venom. Although mosquitoes come in different sizes, a 2022 study measured a female mosquito's proboscis (its long, pointed feeding tube) at 2 millimeters in length and less than a tenth of a millimeter in diameter. 'It's like acupuncture,' Hansen explains. 'When you take an acupuncture needle out, the skin closes and heals right away.' I told Hansen that out of the dozens and dozens of times I've used the Bug Bite Thing, I once saw what looked pretty clearly like a red mist of blood inside its suction cap afterward. To my layperson's brain, this illustrates that you actually can suck saliva out of the puncture wound just as the mosquito created the wound to push its saliva in. But Hansen was still skeptical. 'I think you might have already had a nick there,' he said. He said he thinks there's a more likely reason that Bug Bite Thing users often claim it works: The increase of fresh blood being drawn toward the affected area through the suction may be providing some relief. 'It could be that bringing blood into this area allows for a quicker recovery, but I don't know,' he added. It could also be that the suctioning causes a counter-sensation that distracts you from the itch. Or the whole thing could just be a placebo effect. The Bug Bite Thing isn't 100% effective at relieving bug bites, but it is 100% portable and 0% messy, and it never runs out. Rose Lorre/NYT Wirecutter Here's the thing: Mosquito control is a numbers game. The way I see it, when it comes to warding off mosquitoes, the more prevention methods you use, the better the odds are that you won't get bitten. That's why I use multiple methods simultaneously, including turning on a fan, using zone repellent, and applying picaridin-based sprays. None of these approaches will ever be 100% successful; all of them only kinda work, but that's okay. I operate on the theory that one bite is a lot better than two or seven or a dozen, and therefore, several methods of protection are better than one. Similarly, there are many available treatments to relieve itching and swelling once you are inevitably feasted upon. There are countless creams, cold compresses, itch-targeting gel pens, heat-zapping gizmos, and so on. I believe in having several treatments on hand, and whatever works, works. (To be honest, my favorite treatment is an ice cube, but they don't travel well, they get messy, and sometimes you run out of them.) I do not care if a placebo effect is what's getting me to scratch my bites less. What I like most about the Bug Bite Thing versus other treatments is you have to buy it only once, and it costs all of $10 (or even less per Thing, if you buy a multipack, or you get one on sale). Also, it never runs out, it never accidentally leaks all over the contents of my purse, it doesn't count as a liquid in my carry-on, and my kid will never have an allergic reaction to it. And as long as you don't apply too much suction, it doesn't hurt. The Bug Bite Thing is not perfect, but it's effective enough — and that's good enough for me. This article was edited by Megan Beauchamp and Maxine Builder. We've recommended Thermacell products for five years because they are compact, easy to use, and effective. Don't waste your money on citronella candles and other gimmicky mosquito repellents. Here's what to buy instead. Our repellent recommendations are EPA approved, backed by experts, and tested by us. These products create a bug-free barrier, and the best ones are long-lasting, effective, and easy to refill or recharge.

The Bug Bite Thing for those of you trying to enjoy a nice day out, because nothing ruins a good outing like a painful bug bite. This handy tool sucks up all of the saliva and venom that creepy crawlies leave behind in their wake — reducing any swelling, itchiness, or redness. No smelly creams or chemicals required! And a 10-pack of mosquito-repellent bracelets you will be incredibly grateful you have on hand when those bugs start coming out this summer. Powered by essential oils such as citronella, these bands can help repel the pests without the need to douse yourself in bug spray several times a day. No mosquito will dare approach you as you embark on your daily adventures; these bracelets can help keep any creepy-crawlies far, far away! A pair of down-alternative cooling pillows so you don't overheat in the middle of the night and wake up covered in buckets of sweat. A ChomChom pet hair remover to save you from painstakingly (and ineffectively) lint-rolling your furniture from the unspeakable amount of shedding your furry bestie leaves behind in their wake, which has only gotten worse since the temperatures have gotten hotter. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's good to go — no wasteful and annoying sticky sheets required! If you've been putting off buying a swimsuit, a cute crisscross swimsuit so flirty, that special someone across the beach bar is just bound to order you another piña colada. The hard part will be choosing which of the vibrant colors to buy (or, you know, buying several because they're just THAT cute). And for anyone who requires a more modest look, a three-piece, hijabi-friendly swimsuit with a front-zip bodysuit, leggings, and a detachable skirt. Plus, hijabis can rejoice, since this also comes with a classic cap so you don't need to try going into the water with a cloth hijab (which is sooo not fun). A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff you'll want to keep on hand when those kiddos start scribbling all over your walls now that they're home all summer long.

Who needs a spa experience when you have this scrub at home? A dishwasher magnet because you have accidentally used a dirty mug for your morning cup of Joe one too many times this week. Use this magnet so that the entire household (now that everyone is home for the summer) knows not to touch that deceptively clean-looking bowl that you definitely have not washed yet.
