We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. There aren't many shoes you can wear on a walking tour and out dancing, but these Croc platforms can do it all. 1. Reebok Club C Sneakers that look great with just about anything, so you'll probably end up wearing them to death (but it's okay; you can just buy another pair!). Their cushioned insole will keep your feet comfortable and supported no matter where your travels take you! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart is a big fan: "I have three pairs of these babies because they're just so comfortable straight out of the box. You don't have to worry about blisters, and they don't look out of place with dresses and skirts. They're also simple enough to slip on and off when going through the airport, so they check all of my travel boxes!" Promising review: "Love these shoes! I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they're so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car, and these were the only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn't cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend! But one thing hurts my creasing at the front of the shoe that comes with loving these shoes so much.😢" — Alli J Get them from Amazon for $45.21+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in various colors/patterns). 2. Or New Balance sneakers with a supportive foam midsole to keep your feet secure all day. Their retro vibe will pair well with a variety of outfits, and the mix of suede and mesh provides both breathability and much-needed durability. Promising review: "I bought these sneakers for an upcoming Disney World trip. I wanted something stylish to wear with jeans and capri pants. I wore them to work one day (I'm a nurse) to break them in. They are soooo comfortable!!! They have lots of room in the toes and great arch support. They are just as comfortable as my Brooks Levitate. I find myself reaching for them all the time. On top of it, they are super cute and stylish." — Deanna McNamara Get them from Amazon for $86.28+ (available in sizes 4–12 and in seven colors) 3. Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers so you can feel like you're walking guessed it, a cloud! The upper mesh material won't squeeze your feet uncomfortably; instead, it allows them to breathe so you don't overheat. They're ~multifunctional~ so you can explore new cities, hike scenic trails, go on a shopping spree, and more — all in just one pair. Promising reviews: "They felt weird the first time I put them on…but as I started walking in them it got better! Usually my feet are killing me by the end of the day or I'm just super sweaty in my dress shoes, but these are like walking on a literal CLOUD ☁️ and they let my feet breathe!" — Alyssa "Literally the BEST shoes ever! So comfy. I spent a whole day at Disney with no complaints, normally I'm tired after two hours of walking in the park, but with these babies, I was up and walking alll day with no problem." — Katherine Get them from Amazon for $38+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 18 colors). 4. Sorel strappy sandals with an EVA footbed that'll have your feet typing out a 5-star review while you sleep. The ridged platform provides an extra level of support that flatforms shoes simply can't. They're just so cushiony and bouncy, not to mention the fun color combos! Sorel Promising review:"These shoes are perfect! I was looking for a summer sandal that I could walk in/dance in while also being comfortable. I have flat feet and weak ankles so it was a gamble, but these are so cute and comfy. I will definitely check out their other shoes. I see that other people pointed this out, and it's important to note, the [hook and loop strap] is pretty loose so you may need to readjust a few times, but it's not inconvenient enough to return." — Flatfooted Get them from Amazon or direct from Sorel for $135 (available in sizes 5–12 and up to 10 colors). 5. Lightweight Croc platforms so you can look chic while strolling through city streets and lounging by the beach. They've got that classic Croc comfort (we're talking foam footbeds that don't leave your soles aching) but are way cuter. Promising review: "These sandals look cute and are super comfortable at the same time. I can wear these walking for hours and my feet don't hurt. I have three pairs and my sister has five pairs. I'm a nurse so I know a thing or two about our feet hurting. Get this now!" — Placeholder Get them from Amazon for $46.52+ (available in sizes 3–11 and 18 styles). 6. Barefoot running shoes if you want to try out the gorpcore look (basically a cooler, edgier version of the granola girl aesthetic) on your next adventure. They have flexible soles, a roomy toe box, and zero restrictive padding so your feet can move naturally. And just imagine these paired with flowy fabrics — very cute when prancing through a meadow in Switzerland. I used to be a diehard platform person until I tried barefoot shoes, and now I genuinely cannot go back. I've never felt so connected to the ground I walk on! Promising review: "I have worn minimalist barefoot shoes for the last five years as we traveled through Mexico and South America and I can truthfully say they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm 80-years-old and walking like I'm 40 years younger. I had so many foot problems before I switched to barefoot shoes. I suffered greatly with plantar fasciitis and hip pain for such a long time and all that pain disappeared after wearing these shoes for a short period of time. My only warning on these shoes would will definitely ruin you for ordinary shoes forever! Who doesn't want to be comfortable and pain free?" — DD Get them from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes 5.5–12 and in 30 colors). 7. Teva midform sandals that come in a wide array of colors and styles. They're built to handle all types of terrain and dry quickly, so they're a must-have for rainy hikes or trips to the lake. Annnd they look really cute with socks, so you can still wear 'em if the temps drop! FYI, aside from their style and comfort, Tevas are *known* for their durability — one reviewer said their first pair lasted for over 20 YEARS. This isn't your average sandal that falls apart after one season. Promising reviews: "These sandals are SO comfortable. I got them to wear on a trip to Hawaii, and they were the best thing I brought. Easy to walk in the sand, so commutable to walk on any terrain. You can wash them off if they get dirty. So cushy and soft. Velcro for easy walking and adjustments. Such a good sandal for a walking or beach trip. I can't wait to wear them this summer. They are so cute too!! The mid-height is the perfect height and can be dressed up or down. So cute with activewear or with a summer dress. Love!!" — natasha "My niece recommended Teva so I decided to give it a try, especially for an upcoming trip to the mountains. Yesterday, I was caught in a rainstorm and stepped into a stream of rainwater that was over my feet. My Tevas performed beautifully. They dried quickly, didn't slip in the water, and they also stayed perfectly on my feet. I like the adjustability of the straps in several places where you can fit it to your foot. I actually bought two pairs (different colors) of Tevas at the same time, and I am enjoying both of them! I highly recommend!" — J L Phillips Get them from Amazon for $46.95+ (available in sizes 5–14 and so many colors/patterns/styles). 8. Or some Skechers sport sandals for long days of sightseeing. Not only do they feel like walking on marshmallows, but their stylish look makes them easy to pair with everything from dresses to jeans — oh, and reviewers with wide feet love them! And they're machine washable! Promising reviews: "These are my second pair and I absolutely love them. I have walked theme parks for days, Florida in the heat, Caribbean islands, and cruise ships. They are comfortable, waterproof, dry quickly, maintain their shape, straps stay secure (even on rollercoasters) and great for the beach (sand dusts off easily). If you have a wide foot, invest in a pair of these. I also like how thick the bottoms are, which gives you extra support when walking over rocks." — BellaNV " I wore these for 10 straight hours with over six miles of walking right out of the box and had zero foot pain. I'm 61, and my feet are often achy. I used to wear thong sandals but can't stand anything between my toes anymore so decided to try these. Now, I want them in every color. They fit true to size and have great arch support. We had to walk down an extremely steep hill, and they had plenty of traction to keep me from slipping." — EGC Get them from Amazon for $49.13+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 13 styles). 9. Platform Converse so you can get the classic Chuck Taylor look with MORE cushioning! You already know these can be styled a million different ways (people have been posting cute outfits in them since the dawn of the internet) and are durable enough to handle the wear and tear of traveling. BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachelle Yang says, "I had these bbs for three years but had to say goodbye to them because it was finally their time to go. 🥲 I first got these shoes because I have very weak ankles and needed shoes that would support them, but these did waaaay more than that. The platforms were a lot comfier than I thought they were going to be, and I wore these EVERYWHERE. From concerts to hikes to beaches, these bad boys really put in the work and held up through everything. I never had a moment when I felt uncomfy with these on, and besides all that, they're SO SO SO cute!!!" Promising review: "I've owned many pairs of Converse in my life, and these are the most comfortable I've ever worn. With the platform there's more cushion in the bottom, making them so comfy. They're absolutely adorable, and who doesn't want to be just a couple of inches taller? :) Now I just need them in black!" — Jennifer Kaul Get them from Amazon for $66+ (available in sizes 6–13 and in various styles/colors). 10. Some splurgeworthy Rothy's flats made from a stretchy knit material that you don't have to break in (thank you, magic shoe inventors 🙏), AND they're machine washable. Easy to wear, easy to clean — what more can you ask for? Plus, they'll easily fit in the fullest of suitcases, making them the perfect travel companion. Rothy's It's recommended to go half a size up if you have narrow feet and a full size up for wider feet in this particular style! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes backs that up: "I have a pair of Rothy's flats, and though I usually wear an 8, I went with an 8.5, and they fit perfectly. Though I haven't had the chance to wear them a *ton* (because I WFH most days), I have commuted in them several times with no issues. They're super comfy and feel so lightweight and stretchy! I have them in the neutral Ecru color, but they come in a ton of gorgeous colors — if I were going into the office regularly, I'd be tempted to grab them in several shades. Psst — check out my colleagues' full Rothy's flats review for more deets!" Promising review:"I have lived with bunions for many years and have to be very careful with the cut of a shoe in that area of my foot. Rothy's felt like walking on a cloud the minute I put them on and that comfort has not stopped." — Jane C. Get them from Rothy's for $129 (available in sizes 5–13 and in 17 colors/patterns). Rothy's flats come in a bunch of different styles, and you can check them out here! 11. Or Vionic Mary Jane flats with removable cushioned insoles that provide arch support and adjustable straps to keep them from flying off your feet! These'll instantly turn jeans and a simple top into a stylish 'fit — perfect for that trip to Paris. Nordstrom Promising review: "These will be great with jeans when I don't want to wear sneakers. In terms of design, they do not disappoint, the fit is accurate, the leather is lovely and of course the Vionic insole is just soooo perfect. I might have to grab another color. I am intrigued by both the charcoal and the tan metallic!" — Lucysmom Get them from Nordstrom for $129.95 (available in sizes 5–13 and in five colors). 12. Espadrille platform sandals because usually shoes this cute come with aches and pains — but not these. And they have the seal of approval from reviewers with wide feet! Promising review:"I have had the brown color of these sandals for going on three years now. They are the most comfortable sandal ever. I've worn them all over on several vacations, all over Vegas. No blisters!! So cute and casual. Ordered white and will probably order the black! They are my favorite ever!!!" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 29 color/style combinations). 13. Durable Columbia hiking boots with sturdy ankle support and high-traction, cushioned soles that'll keep you comfortable whether you're hiking or just walking through town. Reviewers swear these don't even have a break-in period, making them a great option for that last-minute outdoorsy trip where hiking and rough terrain are on the docket. It's recommended to go up a half size in these boots to accommodate thicker hiking socks. Promising review: "T hese shoes were perfect for winter hiking. They were warm and super comfortable hiking in. They gripped pretty well on ice compared to my partners, but still recommend spikes if hiking in icy conditions. The tongue can be a bit uncomfortable at first, but once broken in, you can't tell." — Marie Get them from Amazon for $49.09+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 12 colors). You can find a version in men's sizes here. 14. Or Merrell hiking shoes that can pass for a casual sneaker, so they're especially perfect for trips where you're doing a mix of hiking and city strolling. Reviewers love that they don't need to be broken in, and they look great with flowy pants and skirts! Promising review: "These are my summer hiking shoes. I put over 500 miles on them so far, and they're still great. Still have great tread and don't slip at all. I like the shorter ones for summer because I burn up. They're water resistant, too. I have metatarsal pain in my right foot, and these are the best ones that I have found for my foot. Also, they have a huge toe box and a nice snug heel, so downhill is just fine. Love em!" — Courtney B Get them from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 25 colors). 15. Lightweight Tioseban sneakers you can easily slip on and off as you go through security — and when you are tiredly trying to make it to the complimentary hotel breakfast before it closes. The memory foam insole is so good, your feet will cry when it's time to take them off. Sizing up a half size if you have wide feet is recommended. Promising review:"I have worn these shoes on many trips. Bought these in red years ago and most recently traveled through two countries in them. Did a lot of walking. Even climbed up and down through all the steps in Petra, Jordan. They held well and still have a lot of use. And I also love the pop of red in my travel pics!" — Noor Get them from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide, and in 32 colors). 16. Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers reviewers have clocked miles in without experiencing any pain or blisters. They'll pair perfectly with all your travel 'fits, and one reviewer even wore them while walking on a VOLCANO, which is wild considering they are so dainty and cute! Promising reviews: "Travel tested and approved — LOVE!! My hairdresser friend recommended these since she's always on her feet. They were so reasonable so I ordered them for my South Africa honeymoon trip. They were INCREDIBLE!!! My feet never hurt and I walked a ton of miles in them. They also went with a ton of outfits, so I was very happy!!! I highly recommend!" — Leah Gwin Hoefling "These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for a NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of 7–8 miles a day even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." — S. Lee Get it from Amazon for $50 (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 21 designs). 17. Huarache sandals to keep your feet cool and comfy as you explore cobblestone streets, walk on the beach, then eat at a ~very noice~ restaurant.

Macarena Collection / Etsy Macarena Collection is a small California-based business. All of their shoes are handmade by Mexican artisans. Sizing note: These are only made in whole sizes, and the seller recommends sizing up if you wear a half size (so, for example, if you wear a 7.5, you should get a size 8). If you normally wear a whole size, just order that size! Promising review:"Quality is awesome, and I love the leather smell. Makes my whole closet smell good! Perfectly comfortable right out of the box. Wore them all day, no blisters! Color is pretty pale but it goes with everything." — esnotary Get them from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $46.49 (originally $61.99; available in sizes 5–10). 18.

Plus, their versatile, timeless look means you can style them for an early morning hike or a night out on the town — and they're built to last for years. Promising review: "I LOVE them! They are cute and stylish, but also keep my feet warm. They seem to be fairly resistant to the salt crud in parking lots and on sidewalks in the winter too. I like that they aren't too heavy and remain comfortable even with a lot of walking around or wearing them all day. Some boots get heavy and cumbersome, these do not!" — JPalmer Get them from Amazon for $180.82 (available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors). 19.

Or some breathable sport shoes you can wear all day, every day, and *not* deal with achy, suffocated feet.

This is also a great shoe option for people whose feet tend to swell! Promising review:"I have never been compelled to write a review, but these shoes are soooo beautiful!!! I got the pink and gold and they are comfy and pretty. I cannot keep count of the total strangers on the street stopping me and saying how much they love my shoes and asking me where I got them!!!

Hoffman Get them from Amazon for $67.04+ (available in a wide range of men's and women's sizes, including narrow sizes, and 16 styles). 24.

I was a little skeptical about the low price, but gave them a they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are!

I needed a pair of sturdy hiking boots that looked cute, would last a long time, were water resistant, and would wipe off easily after a muddy day. I wore these for roughly two miles of hiking and maybe two miles of walking to break them in before wearing them for a nine-mile hike in the Appalachians. I was so impressed with how comfortable they were, just the right amount of grip, they were warm, and they kept my feet dry and my ankles supported. 10/10 I would buy these again and will definitely be buying a second pair once the first pair is worn out." — Emma Get it from Amazon for $91.63+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors). 26. Dr. Martens gladiator sandals that are the perfect combo of edgy and comfy, and you can tie the straps as securely as you like! Your feet will thank you (and look fabulous in your vacation pics). Promising review:"I bought these for walking long distances in my city. I wanted something to look cute but be comfortable. The leather is a bit stiff so I wore them for short distances a few times before wearing them out to do errands. I covered three miles in them yesterday then went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and danced for two hours, and my feet felt great! I'm a high heel girl, but if you need comfortable soft sandals, these are the ones. If you don't wanna [take] the time to break them in (I mean they ARE Docs after all), just buy some moleskin and attach it to the stiff bits. BTW, TONS of compliments, too." — Chris Quinlivan & Dion Serene Get them from Amazon for $50.61+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors). 27.

Also, cute in a dad shoe way — love them!" — Mandy Williams "I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this: I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these!" — Jennifer Emilien Get them from Amazon for $67.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors).

Your Dirty And Messy House Hates To See You Coming With These 34 Useful Products
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Dust and clutter have been living in your home rent-free, and it's about time they get evicted. 1. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner capable of turning your food graveyard into a lemon-scented haven. I think we all can collectively agree that shoving our hand down the disposal to deep clean is NOT it. Just place the packet in the disposal, let it soak, and turn on your disposal! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.08. 2. A compact cutlery organizer that surprisingly holds so much but takes up very little space because of the stacked compartment design. This is great for slimmer drawers and gives extra space for even more fun kitchen tools. Amazon, See this "life-changing" drawer organizer on TikTok! BTW, there's a version of this product for safely and compactly storing knives in a drawer too! Many reviewers ended up pairing both of these together. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart has used the cutlery organizer to make her kitchen feel more organized. She says: "Just got this, and it has freed up SO much space in our cutlery drawer that we can now store teas, small Tupperware, etc. vs. before it was just a mess of utensils." Promising review:"I had never seen this before I bought it, and holy crap it changed my life. So. Much. Room. There is so much room left in my drawer now that I moved stuff from another drawer and I have an entirely empty drawer in my kitchen now. Now only HALF the drawer is silverware and the other half is spatulas and cooking utensils. It is great. It also seems very sturdy. Highly recommend." — van31050 Get it from Amazon for $8.89. 3. The Baseboard Buddy because getting down on your hands and knees like Cinderella is not in your job title (even though cleaning baseboards is something you should do every now and then). The extendable arm gets in places high and low and is way better than pricey disposable dusters because the pads are reusable! The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse! Promising review: " Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 4. A set of bedsheet organizers so you don't have to tackle the avalanche of poorly folded sheets and duvet covers that look like they're about to engulf you if you grab them from the bottom. This organized system keeps your linen closet tidy and simplifies when it's time to change the bed. Promising review: "These are great for organizing extra sheet sets. Good quality and the zippers are sturdy. This helped me save some space in our linen cabinet, and keeps me from digging through several sets of sheets to find the right size." — BK Get a four-pack from Amazon for $29.98 (also available in eight colors and four pack sizes). 5. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop since your floors do, in fact, need to be mopped even though you'd like to think otherwise. The handle extends up to four feet, and the built-in mop wringer allows for hands-free wringing making mopping just a little bit less of a headache. Promising review: " After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it's a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it's fun. MAJOR BONUS!" — Molly Get it from Amazon for $34.96. 6. A spice rack organizer so you can make sure your favorite chicken seasoning doesn't get lost in your narrow kitchen cabinets. If you're guilty of stacking as many spices as you possibly can and forgetting about half of them, then this is for you. Some reviewers mention using Command strips to secure this organizer, if you're in need of a rental-friendly option that doesn't involve drilling! Promising review:"Absolutely love this spice rack! It has the smoothest roll. It is so easy to install (just two screws in the back) and they hold!!! It keeps my spices organized and my cabinet neat! Very sturdy and well made. I bought a single and a two-tier!" — D.D. Get it from Amazon for $37.80 (available in 11 styles and three colors). 7. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover, to bring your glass doors, faucets, and shower heads back to their "what once was" state of clean. Now, with no more hard water stains or gross tile, you can go back to 🎶 singing in the shower 🎶 without a big ol' yikes in between the chorus and the verse. Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 8. A bamboo storage bag and food wrap organizer for storing plastic baggies, foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper all in one place instead of their bulky individual boxes. This comes with labels to identify your wraps and bags, and the dispenser cutters give a precise cut for all your food wrapping needs! This can also be mounted on the wall! Promising review: "I was looking for something like this for a long time. It fits in my kitchen drawer easily. Best of all, it frees up pantry space, and I don't have to look at a jumble of different boxes on the top shelf or be concerned with them falling. The sliders on the plastic, foil and wax paper holders cut cleanly. On the foil, you do have to make sure the foil is flat against the slider bar, and all I do is give it a quick press along the bar and it is ready to be cut. This hold a lot of bags and wraps in a small space. I absolutely love the Calmbee storage bag and foil organizer!" — Eileen Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). 9. A life-saving ChomChom roller to put other lint rollers to SHAME because this bad boy can be used over and over again. All you need to do is just roll, watch the fur disappear, and easily empty it all out for a super fast cleanup! Promising reviews: " We have two cats, one with long white hair who sheds a lot. I use this mostly on my furniture, comforter, and area rugs. It works wonderfully and is so easy to clean. Love that there is no sticky paper to throw away. A must-have for pet owners." — Steve Fadelli "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors). 10. An under-the-sink organizer because even your cleaning supplies deserve to be in a somewhat clean and organized state. The bottom shelf slides out for easy access, and the L-shaped design is great because it doesn't get in the way of those pesky pipes that take up so much space. Promising review: "I have purchased three sets of these under-cabinet shelves. They are great in the bathrooms. I put cleaning supplies on one side and personal items on the other. The bottom shelf pulls out so I can access things without having to kneel down on the tile floors. Everything stays nice and organized. Great quality — nice solid metal and super easy to put together. No tools needed. Would definitely recommend if you need to make your life easier and save wear and tear on your old knees…. ;)" — TeresaB Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (also available in a two-pack and in three colors). 11. Affresh dishwasher tablets for anyone who doesn't want to get on their hands and knees and stick their head in the dishwasher to clean it. These little tablets do the work for you. All you do is run it on a normal wash cycle and now you have a nice, fresh dishwasher. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and dishes just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable." — Sheila Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99. 12. An unassuming broom organizer because you finally want to do something about that messy pile of brooms and dustpans in the corner of your closet. It's got five slots and six hooks and holds up to 38 pounds! Promising review:"Perfect! Exactly what I needed to organize my mop, broom, scoop, etc. Efficient and easy to use. A little hard to get my scoop into it but that's cause it's thicker than the rest of items. Love that there are hooks. Spray bottles and cleaning product bottles hang perfectly on there too." — Kavita Chandanie Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors and a two-pack). 13. The Bissell Little Green that works ✨wonders✨ on your couches, carpets, and other upholstery items since it magically removes dirt, stubborn stains, and any other nasty spills that have worked their way into your life. Amazon, Promising review:"Faced with either replacing our dining room chairs or living with the daily reminder of how disgusting children (x3) can be, we decided to replace our chairs. Until we priced some new ones. Enter the Green Machine. This chair has never been cleaned (I know, we're gross). I sprayed the included magical solution, let sit 15 minutes for good measure, and voila. Sorcery. I read zero instructions, just plugged in, and went to town. I would recommend cleaning outside if your item is portable; it minimizes the spray on the floor. The dark grey liquid on the collecting side was evidence enough of the dirt and stain-removing powers. Don't second guess; this was <$100 when I purchased it, and while something with steam and heaters and all the gadgets, I am sure, is wonderful, bang for your buck on this one is a no-brainer. Definitely bought us another year or so before we pull the trigger on something new for the kids to ruin." — aih Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (available in three styles). 14. An accordion-like pots and pan organizer to make the most of every inch you have in your lower kitchen cabinets. So when you bend all the way down to get that pan, it'll easily slide out and you won't have to do lots of rearranging. Amazon The length expands to 30", and each rod is 6.5" tall to accommodate taller items. Synthetic rubber bumpers protect your delicate surfaces. Promising review:"Finally, a solution to corral all of these freaking pot and pan lids! It expands perfectly to accommodate my 30" wide cabinet. Actually, it can go a little further than that, but it gets less stable when you exceed the maximum width. It also works great for smaller cabinets. I tried it out in a pull-out drawer that's approximately 24", and it serves its purpose well." — Nurse Bex Get it from Amazon for $32.99. 15. A robot vacuum because sometimes sweeping Roscoe's shedding fur, getting the under-the-bed dust, and picking up all that dirt that your kids trek in from the backyard just... sucks. Thankfully, this powerful vacuum literally ~sucks~ that all up and saves you from having to manually do it yourself. This is super slim so it can easily fit under your low furniture and it automatically returns to its charging station when it's running low on battery. Promising review:"I should have bought one of these years ago! It's saving me time and effort to clean other stuff around the house. I've been pleasantly surprised how 'Pete' can make it over thresholds that separate our kitchen from the living area and one in the hallway. LOVE how he goes around our kitchen chairs and table and really gets under there to pick up crumbs! My floors look cleaner than they ever have! Go Eufy!" — Natalie M Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in three styles). 16. A beanbag cover so you can keep all of your kid's plushies in one place rather than have them spread out all across their room. It can hold up to 80 12" stuffed toys or five standard pillows. Best of all, it makes a comfy place for sitting! Promising review:"These are perfect for any kids' room! I was getting so tired of messy stuffed animals and blankets all over so it's nice to have them out of sight but still easily accessible. My 2-year-old loves to sit on hers and read books. She doesn't have a ton of stuffed animals so there is plenty of room to add to it for when her collection grows. I love the fun bright print and sturdiness — she drags it all over the ground but I don't worry about it tearing at all. Just what she needed in her room." — dd Get it from Amazon for $25.98+ (available in 26 colors and patterns and in three sizes). 17. A bottle of Wet & Forget cleaner destined to turn your shower and tub from grimy and dirty to spiffy and shiny. All you gotta do is spray, let it sit overnight, and rinse! Finally, now you can enjoy your own scrub-a-dub-dub time *without* having to scrub-a-dub-dub the hard-to-reach crevices on your hands and knees. Promising review: "I used this product as directed and got the promised results! I literally did not have to get down and scrub my tub at all. Scent was very subtle (purchased 'vanilla' option). I'm completely stunned with the fabulous results! Highly recommend!" — kMcav Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents and two sizes). 18. A double-sided tea organizer because you probably need to have a better system of organizing your tea bags rather than letting half-empty boxes take up all the space in your pantry. This is super slim, and the bins are removable for easy refilling. YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that makes ingenious home and kitchen storage solutions. Promising review:"Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" — Sarah C. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes). 19. A flexible drain snake for when it's finally time to tackle that clogged shower drain. This has small micro hooks that grab onto hair easily, and even though the results will make you want to gag, this so comes in handy for those rare deep cleaning sessions. This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads you can just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes. Promising review:"Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. The plumber even said I needed an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don't sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and a shower that all match, so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing, stuffed it down, and pulled up hair and black muck. Did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, went right down the drain. Seriously. This is the best tool ever and the best $20 I have ever spent. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously." — juliejules Get a five-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 20. A hanger stacker because that pile of hangers is becoming a total eyesore in your closet. This will help organize them and prevent you from playing a game of "Barrel of Monkeys" every time you try to grab just ONE hanger. Promising review: "Working in retail for a million years, I know how amazing these can be in keeping your life less chaotic! I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did because these beat a box of hangers hands down! I ordered two: one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about is which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tools for assembly. A great buy!" — KatieLee333 Get it from Amazon for $25.58. 21. A Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit so when you look at your glass stove top, you can smile at your reflection instead of roll your eyes at the leftover grease, dried-up pasta water, and other messes that come with cooking at home. It comes with a cleaning solution, cleaning pads, and a scraper tool! Promising review:"Love, Love, LOVE this stuff! Who else hates cleaning their stove like me?? It feels like every time I clean the stove, it just gets dirty again. Well I found THE BEST clean for your stove top. I applied this once after having oil and food caked onto my stove, and within seconds of using the cloth to clean it off, it was TOTALLY clean. Seriously, this stuff is incredible. It also comes with a little scraper which is perfect for getting those little nuggets of food off your stove. Buy this won't regret it!" — Meredith B Get the kit from Amazon for $13.98. 22. A set of customizable drawer organizers because we all have that one drawer where we just shove our stuff in and hope it closes. This set comes with 25 pieces and endless ways to organize! Finally, a junk drawer that will no longer be a ~junk~ drawer. Oh, and the non-slip grips at the bottom keep these from sliding around every time you open your drawer. Promising review:"Went wild organizing and cleaning my kitchen! These work so well for holding everything. I have a beautiful tea drawer, gathered all the meds together, and tackled the junk drawer! It all looks great and feels so good. The different sizes will work for almost anything you need to organize. The rubber 'feet' on the bottom keep the bins in place when the drawer is opened and closed. I think this was a great purchase for the price." — Paige Turner Get it from Amazon for $16.89+ (available in eight colors). 23. A three-part microfiber wand, which gets rid of the dust on the top AND bottom of not one... but TWO blinds at once. This comes with five microfiber cleaning towels and saves you from using up a whole roll of paper towels just for cleaning the blinds. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely hate cleaning my blinds, and it was pretty obvious that I hardly ever clean them by how much dirt came off the first time I used this tool. I've only used it dry so far, but boy it sure does get the dust off of the blinds. It does still take a while to do it, even though you're doing multiple slats at a time, but it sure is a lot easier. I love that you can just throw them in the washing machine when you're done. Thumbs up!" — Dopey1200 Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 24. A water bottle organizer because there's no shame in buying a sixth emotional support water bottle in the span of three months, but there is the embarrassment of that messy cupboard that unleashes an avalanche of water bottles every time you open it. Cheers to using vertical cabinet space more effectively! Promising review: "Ready to use right out of the box. Now able to keep my water bottles organized instead of falling out of the dish drain I keep on the counter to dry them, and then reuse them. This allows me to store them when they dry instead of playing dish jenga when I try to pull one out! Great purchase!" — ashevillegirl Get the 12-bottle organizer from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four sizes). 25. An extendable fan cleaner that will get all the dust bunnies up on the blades in one fell swoop. This is so much easier than standing on a chair or ladder with paper towels, and it's even great for dusting higher surfaces like air vents or corners of your ceilings! Promising review: " Where has this wonderful duster been all my life? I purchased it after the recommendation of a friend. I wasn't sure how well it would work, but after the first time I used it, I knew I made a great decision. I used to climb on a ladder to reach and clean my fans and air vents. Now I can easily clean my 3 fans and all my vents in less than 5 minutes. I put it together the minute it arrived. The handle takes some effort to screw the sections together but after it was together, I found it surprisingly sturdy. Plus the length is great since I'm short. I can now effortlessly reach my fan blades and ceiling vents. This product is definitely worth the money." — Victoria Gaumer Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 15 colors). 26. A set of airtight food containers to keep all your dry goods organized and let you know when you're running low on your fave cereal. These come in a variety of sizes and with chalkboard labels! Big subtweet to whoever decided that flour should be packaged in a non-resealable, easily punctured paper bag, SMH. Promising review: "These containers are amazing! They are very nice: heavy duty material, air tight, and they just look great and make things look so cohesive and organized! I love them! They can be used for so many things! Great addition to my pantry and cupboards!" — Jimi Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two colors). 27. A fume-free oven cleaner meant to tackle the most hard-to-remove buildup from last week's dinner that you just wish cleaned itself up. No more wasting money on weaker cleaning products; this stuff is literally called Easy-Off because it easily gets all the gunk off with a simple spray and swipe. New oven, who dis? Promising review:"I HATE cleaning my oven and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow". As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that first time. I needed professional help the second time, so of course, I put that off until I couldn't. Got on Amazon and as I always do, I read the product description and instructions and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 28. A reusable pumice stone so you can easily scratch away at those yucky stains without leaving behind scratch marks in the bowl. Those regular plastic bristles are no match for this strong yet gentle cleaner that makes your porcelain throne look brand stinkin' new (minus the literal stink). Promising review:"When we bought our previously owned condo, all three of the toilets had a permanent dark ring. I must have tried at least six different cleaning products that claimed to eliminate rings. None worked. I was actually considering buying new toilets as the ring was embarrassing to me. A friend recommended the pumice toilet bowl ring remover, and I was prepared to be disappointed again. But it worked perfectly. The ring is gone on all three toilets, and it only took a few minutes per toilet. I don't know when I have ever been so totally satisfied with a product. It just saved me a whole lot of money, and I am no longer embarrassed by the appearance of my toilets." — lynn mcdonald Get it from Amazon for $9.90. 29. A jar of *THE* Pink Stuff — it'll work wonders to remove dirt, oil, grime, rust, and stains from pretty much any surface. You'll be surprised that the ingredient list doesn't just say "magic" since it brings your things (stoves, pans, sinks, etc.) back to life with little to no elbow grease required. Promising reviews: "I am speechless. I had burned on crud on the glass door inside of my oven. I literally took the product and put it on with a sponge, let it sit for 30 seconds, wiped it off with a hot watered paper towel, and it wiped clean! I regret not taking before and after pictures. I have tried everything under the sun and regret not trying this sooner. I was skeptical because I saw it on TikTok. BUY IT!!!!!! Can't wait to try it on the shower! [Best] stuff I've ever used!" — Courtney " This is one of those 'changed my life' products that you come across every once in a while. I have tried so many different things to clean my clear glass shower door and just end up wasting time, money, and effort. The reviews and price of this product sold me on it. I love the smell (very subtle) and I used it with a basic sponge on my shower door. It did take a little effort but not bad and yielded amazing results. I then got excited about the other possibilities and have used it on the inside of my oven door with similar results. It's great. You won't be disappointed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 31. A set of cleaning brush attachments you can attach to a drill for some serious scrubbin'. If you've ever broken a cleaning brush scrubbing with too much elbow grease, this is the thing for you. Your back will thank you, your bathroom surfaces will sparkle, and you will be so thankful cleaning took half the time it usually does. Promising review:"I've been eyeing these for a few months and finally caved... Man do I regret not picking them up as soon as I saw them! They work GREAT! We rent an apartment that has a 30+-year-old shower/tub. I've used everything from abrasive powders, gels that sit, to most recently the bathroom Magic Erasers and nothing really got the grime out. These WORK and they work fast. Ten minutes with my handy drill and the shower has never been cleaner. I love that I don't have to throw money out on cleaning products anymore and that I can be a little more environmentally friendly with no waste and no chemical cleaners! Just a little dish soap, baking soda, and a spin of the brush. If you're on the fence, just buy them!" — Becky Adie Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six color and stiffness levels). 32. A pack of duster sponges that might just be dust's worst enemy. All you gotta do is dampen it, wipe, and rinse! The ridged surface grabs all that grossness and it's reusable, which is way more eco-friendly than using wasteful paper towels. Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs). 33. A length-adjustable pet hair broom to sweep up all that dog hair, human hair, and random dust that camouflages itself on your patterned rugs. But really, this works for any type of floor and will leave you stunned at how you and your pets aren't bald by now. Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Want more info? Check out my coworker's FURemover Evrilholder broom review. You'll learn a thing or two AND enjoy some very satisfying hair removal photos! Promising review:" I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat, and being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can't always get in deep enough. This actually works and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." — Theo Ackerman Get it from Amazon for $12.98. 34. An MVP-worthy pet urine stain-removing spray that'll revive your carpets and furniture into the stain-free beauties they once were. All you gotta do is spray, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, blot, and let it air dry! Yes, you love your fancy little pooch, but you don't love the number she does on your carpets. Amazon Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. Promising review:"I don't know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this, by far, is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it's a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it's in a high-traffic area until it's completely dry. It's taken out every stain, and more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" — Shelley Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

43 Things That Must Have Been Designed By Geniuses
A flip top bottle attachment A hair-removing glove A shirt-folding board HuffPost may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Prices and availability are subject to change. Promising review: "No more wasting product. I love these so much I had to get the six-pack so I can use them around the house for everything. I love that once the bottle is done, you just clean this lid and put it on something else. I love that the bottles don't fall while the product is slowly dripping inside the bottle, and if you use the stoppers, it doesn't leak. The only thing is I wish it came with a lot more stoppers other than that. This is a must-have in your house." — Em $25 at Amazon AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed Here's why BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart loves this: "I recently bought this after seeing it in many a BuzzFeed post (thanks, shopping colleagues!) and it is so worth it. My cats shed like it is their freaking job and I just can't keep up with it. One of them loves their regular brush but I have to empty it every two seconds and the other is terrified at just the sight of it. With this, I can just pretend I'm going in for a normal ol' petting session and they enjoy it!" Promising review: "This glove is perfect for our one kitty who hates to be brushed. Our family recently added kitty number three, a big beautiful long-haired Maine Coon who despises being brushed or bathed. It was such a struggle as fine cat hair started taking over our life. Honestly, I did not think this grooming glove would work, but let me just say it is wonderful. Our kitty Nicki just loves the feeling it gives him, and we love the astounding amount of kitty hair that is now in the glove and not on every surface in our home. Thank you wonderful seller. We LOVE this glove." — Colleen5991 $8.99 at Amazon Promising review: "My first reaction? 'Why did I buy this?' Then I opened the box and wasn't too convinced about the way it looked, as some edges look like they would quickly snap with use. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed, and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. Must try! Am in love with how beautiful it left my clothes." — Jesus Antonio Vedia $16.99+ at Amazon Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I've been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I've tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." — Niki $19.99 at Amazon Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life-changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We've since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We'll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." — Nancy F. $5.97 at Amazon It works in just four easy steps you can simply incorporate into your shower routine: 1) Steam or soak for several minutes to soften skin and loosen stubborn buildup. 2) Dampen and wring out the mitt, then remove skin from direct water. 3) Use steady circular motions to exfoliate one section of your body at a time. Slowly increase pressure until desired level of exfoliation is achieved. 4) Finish with a post-exfoliation moisturizer to nourish and protect the new layer of skin. Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I've tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I'll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" — Danielle Gill $6.99 at Amazon Promising review: "I bought this because bugs were starting to get into the house and in order to fix what was wrong with the door we would have had to take the door off the hinges. We really wanted an easy fix since we will be putting in a new door come spring. My husband put this on, and it has worked great. Not only are the bugs staying out, but the extra noise and cold coming in are no longer a problem. I would definitely recommend this." — Rose E. Archambault $9.99+ at Amazon Promising reviews: "I love this knife. You couldn't design a better knife for peanut butter if you tried. I bought a less expensive one, but returned it because the design was poor. There's no substitution for this quality product. Spend a couple dollars more, and get the best." — Beck "You can use it for many things. It is strong, and can get things out of deep blenders, like a Vitamix. You could even use it to spread icing on a cake! Best of all, it is perfect for stirring those large nut butter containers you get from the warehouse stores." — Amazon customer $12.99 at Amazon Youthforia Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients. Plus, all of Youthforia's makeup is designed with ingredients that make it ok for your skin to sleep with it on! Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." — Summer $36 at Amazon Amazon Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads. Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It's a little on the expensive side IMO, and that's kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." — StrangerThings $19.99 at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "Must-have for toddlers and small children! LOVE this! My 1- and 3-year-old love washing their hands now and my back gets a nice break. Adding the faucet extenders and a stepstool to our bed time/morning routine has been a godsend. Great bargain for the price." — TeaBea21 $11.49 at Amazon Promising review: "The hooks are comfortable and solve the problem of the earbuds falling out over and over again. An unexpected benefit is that the Pods can sit gently on the ear; no need to shove them inside to secure them. I can barely feel the Pods or the hooks. Glad I found these… They solve all problems. And I can wear my glasses while wearing them. Great price too." — TutorMaven $10.99 at Amazon Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. Promising review: "I don't know how I ever survived without this. There's tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it's a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it's in a high-traffic area until it's completely dry. It's taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" — Shelley $19.97 at Amazon It has over 9,550 5-star ratings! Promising review: "I really liked this product because it gave me significant results in just a few days. I have tried other whitening products but I definitely think this one is my favorite because it's not only easy to use but also works very well. There is also no weird aftertaste, and all I do is keep my mouth open wide for around 30 seconds. The whitening capabilities were also great, and I know this because my teeth were stained before but now they are not. Lastly, these pens were very easy to use because all you have to do is twist the dial at the bottom of the pen clockwise, and product comes out. So overall I would rate this pen a 10/10 and I am definitely planning on buying more in the future." — Roy Joseph $19.99 at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "Works as described! It was practically right on, and I will not travel without it when I have the possibility of checking a bag in. I just slip this into my carry-on or tote. No more wondering and guessing how much my bag weighs! It's small and feels pretty sturdy. I like how it's a strap with a hook versus the others that just have a hook. I also like that you can change the unit measurement no matter where you're traveling to. Bonus: It even tells you the temperature." — CarinnMay $10.99 at Amazon Promising review: "If I could give this product six stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." — Morgan Willis $29.99 at Amazon Promising review: "My family drove from Wisconsin to Washington with our yellow Lab. I didn't think my van would ever be the same again. I bought this tool and was super skeptical, but I was desperate. THIS TOOL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! After finishing (it did take a bit of time; the tool is small), my floors and seats of my van look BRAND-NEW!!! I would pay triple the amount I paid for this tool. I've never seen anything like it! We own a pretty heavy duty shop vacuum, and it didn't even scratch the surface. We also tried every type of pet/lint roller we could find, and nothing came tool will blow your mind! After cleaning out our van, I immediately messaged all friends and family with pets (yes, it really is that good!). Don't waste any more time or money on other products. This simple tool will do a better job than you could ever imagine! A MUST-own for any pet owner!" — Amazon customer $14.95 at Amazon Amazon Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy. Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG $39.99 at Amazon This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review: "Holy moly. This stuff is AH-mazing. To be free of bad stuff, smell amazing, leave my hair SMOOTH and SOFT (did I emphasize that enough), and leave my hair drying quicker with it looking near perfect. Well, folks, what else is there to say? Buy it. Don't think about it. Just do it. This coming from a super-picky hair girl!" — Aubsmommmy $7.44 at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "As a flight attendant for a major airline I have heard from passengers how much they like this pillow. So I ordered it...I LOVE IT. I lost my U-shaped memory foam pillow recently so I thought I would give this a try. It's smaller than a U-shape pillow and easy to pack up. Lots of fun colors to match your outfits. But most of all it works. It's cheap enough to give it a just do it." — Franny Ciera Velarde, an editor here at BuzzFeed, also loves this! She says: "I've used this for the past few years and swear by it! Before this, I always found traditional neck pillows uncomfortable and would end up ditching them halfway through the flight and getting frustrated. The Trtl pillow is adjustable — you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and if you find it's too loose, just make it a bit tighter! I've truly never slept better on a plane than with this pillow." $59.99 at Amazon Promising review: "I'm a flight attendant and I travel A LOT! This is a game changer! Folds up super small in the cute bag they provide and really makes a difference when on those long flights. The people in front of me had no idea I was using it. Thanks for the great product!!!" — sarah rubin $21.99 at Amazon Amazon It comes with the brush spinner, charging station, eight rubber collars that securely connect the makeup brush to the spinner, a glass bowl, and a splash guard ring. Promising review: "I use my makeup brushes daily, and they get filthy. I've used other cleaners and this product wins hands down. The wand and the cleaner itself takes all the hard work and does it for you, not to mention the brushes dry in seconds. This is the cleanest my brushes have ever been. Highly recommend." — Valerie $20.99 at Amazon Promising review: "Best $9 ever spent for safety. Absolutely perfect. I have the Munchkin ducky bath mat for my daughter, and now that she's 2 she flops around in the tub like a fish! I'm literally just waiting every time I bathe her for her to smash her head on the faucet. This thing fit absolutely perfect. I'm not really sure why people said it is easy to take off — I can barely get it off or put it on for that matter. Had to push and slide with all my might to get it fully onto the faucet, which is a good thing because now I know she can't just rip it off!! The water runs normal; it doesn't spray everywhere. I was worried about it blocking the opening, and it's absolutely perfect to lift up the shower thing. I think this is definitely worth it; it's one of the cheapest on the market. I have a normal faucet that comes in like 90% of tubs, if you have a fancy one that might be wide, this doesn't work." — Kayla Nuttall $10.49 at Amazon Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Heads up that this shouldn't be a replacement for actual flossing! Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's why BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this toothbrush: I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter how much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular. Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — Amy N. $9.90 at Amazon Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon customer $20.52 at Amazon Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It's easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." — Amazon customer $39.48+ at Amazon Promising reviews: "These things are amazing!! My Explorer has an abyss under the seat. If anything drops, it's gone forever! These stay in place way better than expected. I won't go without them ever!" — Kaci A. "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. Little did I realize it would become one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car, and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat. There really isn't another product that compares to this. That's why I gave it 5 stars." — Tessa Forbes $24.99 at Amazon You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips. Promising review: "I loved this stuff, it was magic. The evening moisturizer was fabulous. It is the first plumper that actually works for me. Will be buying more for gifts!!!!!" — Alexandra "I discovered this product from TikTok and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!! — Amazon customer $12.99 at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "Did y'all know they made these?!? Okay, I was moving some furniture around in the guest room and my beautiful bride just wasn't happy with how far the dresser stood out from the wall because of the TV plug. She said there has to be some way to fix that in this day and time. Know what? She was right! I did some searching on the old Internet and found these. I put it on the outlet behind the dresser and shoved it into place. Just so y'all know, the wall plug is indeed flatter'n a bug in a windscreen, and it's designed to cover the whole plug when you use it. Works great!" — James P. $23.95 at Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review: "Surprisingly, this is a wonderful, sturdy kitchen tool. I bought it to use with onions but it works wonderfully with just about any veggie and fruit. My family loves chili, soups and stews this time of year. This cut the job of preparing to less than a third. It works on just about any veggie but beware the size. If you are cutting a really hard veggie, use smaller pieces for the machine. I would buy it again. It has actually taken the place of my much more expensive food processor. I wish I could return the much more expensive food processor, this does everything I wanted a food processor for." — E. M. Brooks $29.99 at Amazon The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl $24.99 at Amazon Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed Here's why BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves these: "I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home (though I have several purse packs?!). It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was two-plus years ago. But now that I'm playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I'm trying to be responsible. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we've featured in a million BuzzFeed shopping posts is peak adulting. Perhaps the reason I've been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just of ugly out in the open. But not with this lil' cover! Now it's a design element that I'll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it's filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment's closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose." $6.70 at Amazon Promising reviews: "Ever since I purchased my wireless Bose earbuds, I always hated having to use another set when I was on an airplane with the seat-back entertainment system. I tried many different models to connect the system to my Bluetooth headsets until I came across this one, and it is amazing! It seamlessly connects to my headset, very clear and reliable audio, and it takes the stress away from having to carry multiple headsets! Thank you!!!" — Ryan Malloy "I fly a lot, and bought this due to disliking corded headphones, as either the cable line breaks during flight, and/or gets tangled up. I just recently flew four times last week and used them for the in-flight entertainment, and did not have one issue. I also use these in the gym while connected to my iPhone for music. And I plan to use them on my PC at work for meetings." — Marky $54.99 at Amazon Promising review: "This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice clean hair with a brush full of dirty oily hair and dust. When you really think about it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." — emmaline $11.95 at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "A must-have. As a mom of two, ages 2 and 5, who HATE crust, I have found that this is a lifesaver! It saves so much money to buy these instead of Uncrustables." — Baleigh W $15.96 at Amazon Amazon Promising review: "Best nail clipper I've ever owned. All my life I've had stainless-steel nail clippers that slip from my fingers whenever I have to cut my nails, which bends the nail and adds pressure onto my nail bed. With these clippers, the groove lets my thumb sit comfortably. It cuts very well, and there's no need to put too much pressure when cutting a tough nail. The nail catcher is a good bonus. It prevents your nail debris from flying all over the place so you don't need to hover over the trash can. I use the built-in nail file to shape those sharp edges and it does the job very well. It eliminates the use of switching over to an individual nail file. I also like the little case that it comes in. It keeps me from losing my nail clippers." — Jasmine $13.99 at Amazon Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable, and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and I only 25 to 30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" — Marash $219.99 at Amazon The mister will cool the surrounding area by 20 degrees, and it comes with an interchangeable flower-shaped misting head for a fun, whimsy detail. Promising review: "Works exactly how I want it to. Provides a fine, cool mist on the patio, allowing us to enjoy the backyard until sunset without breaking a sweat. Easy to set up. It was out of the box and cooling us off within minutes." — Debra L. Kusek $30.89 at Amazon This tool is double sided, so you can choose the thickness of your wing, and comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye! Promising review: "You need this stamp! I have never in my life been able to draw a wing properly. Ever. I kept seeing this advertised everywhere and thought, what the heck. Super easy to use, you don't need a lot of practice. I love that it's highly pigmented as well. I originally wanted the medium (classic) size but it's on backorder. I opted for the 8-mm mini size instead, and I'm glad I did. I think the size is appropriate for the shape and size of my eye. All in all, great purchase!!!" — SaraPo $14.97+ at Amazon Need a drill? Here's one! Promising review: "I bought the yellow and use it regularly for cleaning shower tile, removing hard-water stains from glass (with Lime-A-Way) and even for my oven top. For the price you can't beat it. They are good quality and the different sizes are convenient for different jobs. Gonna get a red set next for the tougher jobs!" — Emir D Hayric $18.95 at Amazon Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed Here's why BuzzFeed shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this: "That's me pumping my signature perfume into one of these travel atomizers I've been using for about a year. As the reviewer down below mentions, it's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and therefore takes up very little room. Plus! It's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one is working so well, that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK about digging into my stores to use one of the remaining at this price point." Promising review: "I bought these due to traveling a lot for work and needing to cut down on the size of things in my carry-on bag for flying. I can bring four different perfumes now instead of one big one. They're super easy to fill, haven't leaked so far but I keep them in a sandwich baggie while traveling just in case. I would 100% buy them again." — Emily $8.99 at Amazon See it in action on TikTok here. it has over 6,650 5-star ratings! Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, and it smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." — LuckLocust $12.50 at Amazon Amazon BTW — Lauri did invest in this small, woman-owned biz! You can simply replace the insert ($10.99 for a two-pack) every couple of months! Promising reviews: "We purchased these for our son's soccer cleats that smelled like cat pee and a dead buffalo that has been eaten, puked up and eaten again and then that animal died and a buzzard ate it and then pooped it WERE HORRIBLE!!! The ninja ShoeStix's worked GREAT!!! WILL BE BUYING MORE for our daughters dance shoes!!!" — Matthew Parker "These ShoeStix have been amazing. I didn't think anything could help with the awful cat urine like smell emanating from my son's soccer cleats, but these inserts have done the trick. Now if you put your nose in the shoe, yes, it will still still smell pretty bad. But they no longer make the entire house smell like cleats and I can now leave the shoes in the house or in the car and not feel the urge to puke. We also use them for my daughter's volleyball shoes and kneepads. If you've ever experienced the stench that exists once a volleyball player removes the kneepads, then you know the pain I experience multiple times a week. Just put the ShoeStix inside the kneepads and put them inside a closed plastic bag and let the Stix do their magic. Definitely worth the money." — K Terry $29.99 at Amazon 43 Dresses That'll Let Your Legs Breathe After A Long Winter Of Tights And Pants Fitness Experts Say These 5 Items Are Essential For Your Home Gym Experts Recommend The Best Online Resources For Affordable, Good-Looking Outdoor Furniture
