Hey. Look at me. There's no shame in sweat, acne, grays, or having an overly dramatic tummy.

Promising review: "This body spray has helped clear up stubborn back and shoulder breakouts better than anything I’ve tried. The 360-degree spray makes it super easy to apply, even to hard-to-reach spots. It dries quickly, doesn’t stain clothes, and has a clean finish. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I saw smoother skin and fewer breakouts. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with body acne." —Rosiemelisa

Promising review: "This product is absolutely amazing and works so well and fast. It is one of the products that has transformed my neck skin in just a couple of days. I'm in my late 40s, and I always used moisturizers on my neck, but I still had dry-looking, crepey skin. Not anymore. I still cannot believe that such an inexpensive cream can make my neck skin look so plump and young. Do try it." —Momof5

Happy Nuts is a small business specializing in grooming products.

Promising reviews: "This has honestly exceeded my expectations. It provides a deep, effective cleanse without causing dryness or irritation. It feels gentle on sensitive skin and leaves the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and moisturized after every shower. There’s no tight or uncomfortable feeling, which is something I really appreciate.

The scent is clean and not overpowering. It lathers well, rinses off easily, and works great as an all-in-one body wash. You can tell it’s designed with men’s skin in mind, especially for areas that need extra care." —jaber waleed alsulaiti

"Definitely give it a try if you chafe anywhere on your body! It's great for people who work outside or even during/after the gym!!" —Bradford Smith

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes).

Fresh Body is a small business that specializes in personal care products. 

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I am a sweaty person. Apparently, I have no thermostat because, randomly, I will just start sweating, and it's a lot. Well, I ended up with yeast under my breasts, and it gets red and sore. After you shower, dry off really well and apply this cream (a little dab will do ya) under your breasts and say goodbye to the inflammation and soreness. I also use it in the down-there region. I will be buying this forever." —Deb Warwick

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in different pack sizes).

Promising review: "This product is awesome and completely exceeded my expectations! We have been struggling with excessive earwax build-up with my 4-year-old son. We tried everything else, and he would cry and scream if we did anything to his ear. It took two tries, but we got all the impacted earwax out. The first time, I used water and apple cider vinegar, and the second time, I just used warm water. Both methods worked equally well. I tried it myself, and it feels a little weird, but it doesn't hurt. My son doesn't mind doing it and watches TV the whole time. Would definitely recommend this product for young children!" —Alix H.

Promising review: "Wow. This works fast. As soon as I put it on, I could feel it working. I was surprised by how well it covers the sore. I thought, 'Is this thing magic?!' It stays put, too. I put it on last night and already feel so much better today, and it looks a lot better. This is important to have in stock just in case this comes out of the blue, which is what happened to me. I’m so thankful for the people who created this. This is the best product I’ve ever used. And I’ve used others with no effect. This is powerful stuff." —GG

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal raves, "Folks, after just one treatment with this hardworking gel, I can report my feet are as soft as a baby's bum! Seriously. It literally reset my hard, calloused skin, and now I barely even recognize the toes that are wiggling before me! I honestly can't believe I had gone so long just suffering with unsightly calluses. So if you have tough, hard skin that you've vowed is beyond repair, do yourself a favor and add this to your cart. Oh, and for spa-worthy results, use a pumice stone first and always wear gloves when applying the gel."

Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing at removing callouses and dead skin. I hadn’t had a pedicure in over six months, so my heels were calloused and cracking. I soaked my feet in hot water for about 30 minutes, put this stuff on a few rough areas of my feet, let it sit for about five minutes, then used a Dr. Scholl's foot buffer, and the dead skin started falling off. My feet are now as smooth as a baby's bottom. Love this stuff!" —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents).

Promising review: "Do not hesitate to try this product if you have hard skin on your feet. It takes a few days to see a difference, but now I can see a change. Just like that, the skin on my pinky toe is not rock solid anymore. Bye bye, pain — and I am not joking." —Majda

Wonderbelly is a small business! Plus, its packaging is 100% plastic-free!

I started using these instead of Tums, and I have to say, they work better, faster, and are easier to chew/swallow. Don't get me wrong, they're still kinda chalky, but I don't feel like I'm choking on debris when I take them. Plus, they taste good!

Promising review: "I discovered this last year, and I have not used another antacid since. The strawberry milkshake flavor is phenomenal. It is fast-acting, and I have never had to take more than one. This has really improved my life with GERD." —Marissa

Promising review: "Great product, my skin loves it! I ride several horses daily and struggle with bum acne in the summer months. This product is a game-changer for me! It worked quickly, and I will be a lifelong customer now!! I'm feeling confident in my swimwear as my bum acne is almost completely gone. Thank you for creating this great product!!!" —Chantel

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has tried this and loves it. Check out her Venus Visage teeth-whitening pen review.

Promising review: "I can't survive without these things. I have quite a sensitive stomach, and any greasy or spicy food works like Drano on my stomach. So if I know I'm going to have some food like that, I'll use these to settle my stomach. Without these, I would be stuck on the toilet for an hour or two. These things are a lifesaver to keep on you, and are essential for any home." —Reviewer

Patellar tendon straps like this one can reduce strain on the tendon connecting your kneecap and tibia during physical activity. While this can help reduce pain, talk to your doctor about recurring pain so you can address any underlying issues. Learn more about patellar tendon straps at Cleveland Clinic, and chat with your doctor to see if this is right for your knee pain.

Promising reviews: "I broke both knees, so using these straps is a must. These are by far my favorite as they make my knees feel secure. Gave to my dad as he is also bone-on-bone, and he loves them." —Renee

"These are great. I'm not even aware I'm wearing them. They just work. I use them on my rowing machine (allows me to use much more force in my legs), bowling, and walking. I walked 582,000 steps in one month with NO PAIN! Wow." —John Schaeffer

Promising review: "Been using this for about a month. I run and go to the gym, so I use my sneakers five to six times a week. I remove the insoles and spray those, then spray inside the sneakers. I like the scent, kind of minty, and it kills any odors immediately. I’d recommend." —Lisa S

If you suspect you have tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths), talk to your dentist or doctor! They can perform a physical exam or imaging scan and deliver a diagnosis.

These also come with an LED light to get right to the source of the problem.

Promising review: "I'm in my early 30s and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! Anyway, I've been struggling with cotton buds to fully remove the stones, but I couldn't get rid of them, and they would just come back within the week. I received this and OMFG...best investment ever. No struggle holding my phone as a flashlight while awkwardly poking myself in front of my badly lit bathroom mirror. I sat comfortably at my vanity, used one hand, and removed the whole stone in less than a minute. Why did I not know this was a thing? Why have I been struggling? Get it! Stop struggling, suffering, and awkwardly dealing with this ridiculous condition...trust me." —Wren

Get it from Amazon for $9.93+ (available in two colors and a multipack).

Promising review: "This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it got larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times, and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus, but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! Bought the invisible strips, and they removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn’t believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!" —Audrey N.

But don't feel pressure to hide your grays, you silver fox!

Promising review: "Lightweight and great coverage on gray/white roots. I bought dark blonde, and it's more of a light brown, but it works well with my highlights/lowlights. I’m horrible about getting my hair done every two months. I usually go 4–5 months between colorings to save time and money. I’m 49 and have about two inches of gray growth on each side of my part, so it‘s actually four inches of gray roots on the top of my head. As long as you don’t spray too close, then it doesn’t get heavy or sticky. I highly recommend this product." —Michelle D.

Promising review: "I have gone 30 years of my life having the worst breath known to man. I would brush and brush, and within 20 minutes, I'd be back to the same. I never knew how to get rid of it. Then, I came upon this little item on Amazon. I decided to give it a try because I figured I'd tried everything else. Wow, just, wow...I couldn't believe how much crap this thing was pulling off my tongue. Seriously, if you have suffered from bad breath, give this a try. You will not regret it." —Me

Promising review: "If I could give this product more than 5 stars, then I would!! My husband has suffered from extreme dandruff/Psoriasis for years, to the point that he would constantly pick at his scalp. I would be able to visually see large sores and peeling skin chunks constantly, no matter what shampoo/treatment he would use. I found this product by chance and told my husband about it, who was willing to give it a chance (he’d more than given up on finding a solution to his problem at this point). After two shampoos, he said that he absolutely noticed a difference and did not feel that he had to scratch his scalp. His sores healed within a week, and now he has a clean, itch- and flake-free scalp! This stuff worked absolute wonders for us, and I would recommend it to anyone with slight dandruff issues to extreme psoriasis conditions!" —Tabitha C.

Here's why my BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Emma Lord loves this thing: "Hello, my toenails are problem children for two reasons: One is that they're kinda thick, the other is that I'm a long-distance runner, which doesn't play nice with toenails. I bought this recently, and the difference it made immediately was ENORMOUS. Like I usually dread approaching my big toenails because they are so thick, but these painlessly and seamlessly lobbed the tops right off; I was also able to ~gently correct~ a toenail that was starting to get ingrown, and help cut down a dead toenail that needed trimming but would have been painful to approach with a regular clipper."

Promising review: "We bought this for our teen grandson to use for an ingrown toenail because he was not able to go to a nail salon that he trusted to fix this problem. It worked perfectly. He was so pleased with the result, as it took care of his painful problem! Thank you for making a fantastic product. Every household should own one!" —T.S.

Promising review: "Used for a business trip where I had to be dressed up for 12 hours in the heat for several days in a row. Even used these after getting off flights, needing to refresh before meetings. Made me feel fresh, almost showered, and the deodorizing smell was long-lasting and subtle. Definitely recommend!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth

Promising review: "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present, even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." —WIAPilot 

Promising review: "I get corns on the bottom of my foot. This has been going on for 30 years. I’ve tried all the pads sold in drug stores. None of those are anywhere as good as this brand. They stick to the skin very well, and the medication really works on the corns and the thickened skin around them. Well worth it." —Al Symbal

Promising review: "I have an overlapping toe and a bunion that started forming on one foot. I use the YogaToes daily for 15–30 minutes to help create space between the toes and relax the feet. I love how my feet feel when I take them off and walk around. My feet feel stronger and more relaxed. I am a fitness instructor and also teach yoga. I use them before class for a few minutes. They help me feel more grounded as I move." —Deirdre Sherman

BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga owns and uses this. Check out her Monday Haircare dry shampoo review!

Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." —Meg Ryan Blanton

So, this is the protector I currently have on my mattress. It truly is quiet and definitely waterproof. I sometimes wake up in the wee hours of the morn with night sweats, and when I go to take the drenched sheets off my bed, I notice that my mattress protector and the mattress itself are still dry. It really does prevent fluids from penetrating through. I'm also a bit of a butterfingers, so I've also accidentally spilled water on my bed. And again, everything but the sheets is still dry! Plus, it stays snug and secure, despite all my tossing and turning.

Promising review: "There was one reviewer on here who stated his wife's water broke, and the mattress was dry. Based on that, I ordered it. We have had it for years, and with pet accidents and drink spills, it has kept our mattress in perfect condition. It has been washed a million times and still works fine. Great quality and perfect for a thicker mattress. It never rolls up, nor have I had any problems with it staying put. We have a Sleep Number bed, and it works perfectly." —MJ
