This Skin Care Superhero Sucks Out The Gunk Like An Undersea Vacuum. Who Knew A Scrub Stick Could Tackle Sebum Like A Squeegee On Your T-Zone? Sea Ya Later, Imperfections!

Cute octopus-shaped problem-solving product in hand, designed to simplify daily tasks.

Review: "I have combination skin (usually oily with dry patches) and am forever picking at my pores. My nose especially gets super fun blackheads. NOT ANYMORE! And if anything does pop up, removal is a breeze because my skin is so much healthier and it lifts right out and I can apply some toner or tea tree oil. I also make my husband use it and his blackheads/whiteheads/dry skin on face is noticeably brighter and clearer. I 100% agree with the review that said to rub off a little bit of the top of the product once you open it so that there is salt exposed to help you exfoliate. This was completely an impulse purchase but now it's a staple in my weekly skincare routine. Also, how freaking adorable is this little guy? I think he makes my whole bathroom look cuter." - Andrea

    Review: "Ok guys. Here’s the deal. This is gonna be a long review but TLDR; this is an amazing little product and I highly recommend it. I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! Living in the dark winters here is insanely difficult for me. This??Little??Alarm??Clock?? Has changed my life and I’ve only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you Apple). The light settings are so fun as well! I love having it on a low setting in while I’m journaling, reading, watching tv, anything really! If you’re hesitant to purchase this, please take my review in to consideration. I would pay 2 or 3 times the price for this thing. It’s 100% worth it." - KatieM

    Say Goodbye To Old-School Threading And Hello To A Splash Of Innovation. With 4 Modes To Blast Away The Grime, This Dental Oral Irrigator Makes Your Smile Sparkle Like Your Personality!

    Hand holding a black water flosser against a colorful speckled background, showcasing a problem-solving product.

    Review: "Always HATED flossing, even was scared of it. I also have 2 dental implants, so it’s very important to floss. This made flossing actually ENJOYABLE and easy to do. Saw someone recommend them online and I had NO idea they even existed. Hello, dentists??? Why aren’t you telling people about this item?! Anyway, I recommend starting out on SOFT mode because this thing is extremely powerful and the other modes were too hard on my gums. Only downfall is I must floss longer than expected because I have to put more water in the back by the time I go to my uppers/lowers (whatever set is next). Have used for a week now and battery has stayed charged up, not needed to charge it yet. Please buy this!!!" - Sav

    'cause The Only Thing You Want Clinging To That Cute Outfit Is Compliments, Not Clumps Of Cat Hair. Chom Chom Roller To The Rescue—fur Real!

    Pet hair remover demonstrates problem-solving with a dog in the background.

    Review: "I can’t recommend this thing enough. All the awesome reviews are legit. I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into when our family brought home a golden retriever pup. He sheds so much, I truly don’t know how he still has fur. This pet hair remover does an amazing job at removing all the hair that finds it’s was onto our clothes, couch and blankets. I never reach for the sticky lint roller, it just can’t hold up to the ease, thoroughness and speed that this roller offers." - Toniann Cohen

    Razor handle with grip enhancements and a red electrical test probe on wooden surfaces, showcasing problem-solving products.

    Review: "How many times have you used a consumer product and found that its sleek shape actually made it hard to use? Have you ever had to throw something away because poor design caused it to fail prematurely. If you have a little bit of creativity you can address a lot of shortcomings by adding a little Sugru in just the right places. The photos are a couple of examples: A razor handle that wants to squirt out of my hand when its wet and soapy, A cord that started to separate from its plug because the strain relief was inadequate. I could go on..." - wizard of tinkering

    Clean Stainless Steel, Thermos, Tumbler, Insulated And Reusable Water Bottles – Cleaning Tablets Are Easy And Safe To Use

    Before and after cleaning a travel mug to simplify daily life with problem-solving products.

    Review: "Wow! I never thought I’d see the shiny inside of my husband’s travel mug again. He uses it for tea almost every day and it was gross! The build up was horrendous. I filled it with hot water, dropped in a tablet, and let it sit for a couple hours. I thought for sure it would take multiple times or a good scrubbing. I was wrong! I dumped out the liquid, rinsed and the majority of the buildup was completely gone. I gave it a quick, easy scrub with dish soap and a bottle brush and it looks brand new. Highly recommend these tablets." - C. Mcpheeters

    Review: "Came in the mail and used immediately - got all the gunk out that was in the little holes - used the square on the far right for both of my AirPods. THEN my husband comes in and sees and wants to use for his. Learned he has never even tried to clean his own AirPods (?!) and uses this for his - see squares 1-3. DISGUSTING and amazing. Got everything out of his. He put them in to see if his sound was better after getting everything out and “couldn’t tell a difference”, but who can trust him after AirPods like that?" - Amazon Customer

    Crockpot filled with food, featuring a spoon, offers a problem-solving solution for simplifying meal preparation.

    Review: "Warms everything evenly, better than a microwave. I started taking this for lunch at work. So thankful that the day the microwave broke, I was the only one with a warm lunch, for a week too. The only flaw is since I have tendinitis, I struggle with opening the lid when it's hot, but I learned to just lightly place the lid on so it's easy to remove. I get many compliments at work." - Bill O

    Keep The Guesswork Out Of Your Barking Buddy's Belly Schedule. "Did You Feed The Dog?" Has Your Back So You Can Be The Alpha Of Organized Feeding Flair!

    Fridge with a dog feeding reminder chart for organizing daily life.

    Review: "My wife and I are constantly asking each other if we fed the dog already. We could ask the dog, but he would lie and say no and trick us into another bowl full of food. I saw this device on Amazon and decided to buy it. It's already been fantastic and we've only been using it for about 5 days. It has a nice magnet that sticks and holds to our stainless refrigerator. It does stick to the sides of the fridge too, but it's not as strong there and it does slide. It holds in place when we're sliding the daily AM/PM toggles. The toggles slide nicely. They don't lock into place but usually hold pretty steady. Sometimes they do glide with a little too much ease, meaning you could accidentally move one out of position, but that hasn't proven to be a concern. Overall, it was cheap enough, it's useful, and as long as you're using it, it will be one less thing you have to worry about. Special note: don't let your dog learn how to manipulate the toggles or they could try to play the "Hey I haven't been fed yet!" card" - Bado

I decided to expand to a larger cupboard and needed to order a new one. Glad I did. It’s made better than the older one I had. I love how I can see all my spices at a glance.

    Hand holding a roller bottle of migraine stick, a problem-solving product to simplify daily life.

    Review: "I’m someone who suffers from chronic migraines and headaches. Typically, I get 1-2 migraines and 3-4 headaches a week. I’m in constant pain. It’s to the point that I have had to take daily medicine. I was looking for alternatives as I don’t want to have to “pop pills” every single time I get a headache. I’m also one that if I don’t take medicine right away, the migraine/headache develops to the point where I feel nauseous and can’t even speak at times. Smell is a trigger and for those who are sensitive to smells especially mint, this is no issue at all! I’ve used it a total of 3 times so far and it’s worked every time which is incredible! If I don’t take strong medicine (excedrin or prescribed medicine), nothing works. Im ecstatic and released to have found an more natural alternative." - Jessica

So I did some research on the internet and Amazon to see what I could use to fix this issue. Saw that they make wax sticks to put on them but you have to apply it a lot and seemed kinda like an inconvenience. I also found strips to stick on but most reviews said they only lasted a week plus they were pretty expensive. Then I found these and they are amazing! I highly highly recommend them if you have slipping problems takes a bit of wearing to find the perfect spot but I couldn’t be happier with this product especially for only $7 ish dollars." - Noah Ulrich
