Promising review: "I bought this product to spruce up my WFH routine. The paper quality is good, and I love the various sections that can keep you productive at work and at home. I use this product faithfully, and it's nice to be able to go back and recall things that you've done." —Endless Fridays with Nina

Promising review: "This smells heavenly!! I wore it today with the Cheirosa 62, and it smells delicious! I already purchased a second bottle for me, and one for my daughter, because I know it's going viral, and I don't want to run out! It's already hard to find where I am. To me, this is even better than the Vanilla Cashmere, and that's been my absolute favorite so far." —Heather Mg

Promising review: "FINALLY, COMFY PANTIES! As a 30-year-old woman, I’ve been on the search for comfy underwear, and I finally found it. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of stretch." —Amazon Customer

"So freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face. I was worried these would creep up the cheeks into wedgie territory, but no. Blissful cheek hugging all day long. Can’t feel them even if I try. No weird pinching or odd areas. Perfect chef’s kiss. I typically wear Aerie boy brief–style undies — these are a close match in fit and comfort, and equivocal in size." —Ali Morey

Get a set of five from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 12 color combos).

Promising review: "I have had these for almost two years, and I love them!! I use them every day, and I mean every day. The sound quality is amazing to me, the noise-canceling is amazing, the fit is comfortable, and the battery life is WONDERFUL! They stay charged two years later, still for about two to three days, and if I only use them for about and hour or two a day, which is rare for me, they’ll stay charged upwards of four to five days!" —Lisa & Landry

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This is the best pill container I have found. It holds a month’s worth of pills in each compartment and is compact and easy to store and travel with. It is very sturdy, and I don’t have to worry about the cap opening accidentally. The enclosed labels are a bonus, and the see-through exterior makes it easy to see how many pills are left. I keep it on my nightstand, and it doesn’t take a lot of space." —TA

Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in seven colors).

BuzzFeed Deputy Editorial Director Elizabeth Lilly has been putting this toothpaste to the test:

"I've been testing out the whitening version of this toothpaste, and it works just as well as any drugstore brand toothpaste without irritation. (I'll occasionally get irritation from whitening strips and treatments, and space them out because of it, but I've had none with this!) My mouth just FEELS cleaner when I use this, and it's even easier to use my tongue scraper after brushing, too! I think this has earned a spot as my new go-to."

Promising review: "TheraBreath Deep Clean is the best toothpaste I’ve tried! It keeps my breath fresh for hours, feels gentle on my gums, and leaves my mouth super clean. The mint flavor is refreshing without being too strong. Definitely recommend." —Maryna Ruzieva

I've been using this since my tragic allergic reaction to Listerine back in 2022...

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Amber Usher is also a fan. Check out her TheraBreath Oral Rinse review!

Promising review: "This mouthwash is the only one that actually works. Your mouth feels so clean, it's a pleasant taste, and most importantly, your breath is perfect. Once you have tried this, you are NEVER going back to 'regular brands' again." —Awake and Alive

Get the pack of two from Amazon for $15.34.

This set includes a 10-inch saute pan, a 10-inch frying pan, a 9-inch frying pan, a 3-quart saucepan, a 2-quart saucepan, two detachable handles, three cooking utensils, three trivets, four pan protectors, and 7-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch glass lids with a silicone rim.

Promising review: "Best pans I have ever had. The nonstick feature is amazing. I don't have to use anything to make scrambled eggs or pancakes: no sprays, oils, or butters. Nothing sticks to these pans at all! Cleanup is a breeze. Love the detachable hands. Heats quickly." —John Wesley Vestal

Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in gray and orange).

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love them. They are perfect and carefully packaged. 10/10." —Brittany B

"Cute design, easy for an elderly person to grasp." —natalie

The water-resistant light comes with a replaceable lithium battery.

Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision is no longer perfect, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble trying to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

Promising review: "This face wash is wonderful! I have never repurchased a face wash this much in my life. I use it every day. I have very sensitive skin that is very prone to breaking out/dry skin, and this has kept my skin under control for about two years now. I do use moisturizer immediately afterward, so for me, it is not drying at all. And I love that there is no scent and no residue on my hands when I’m done. It feels very clean." —Jade W.

Promising review: "These disposable face towels are amazing! They’re soft, strong, and don’t fall apart when wet. Perfect for cleansing, removing makeup, or after the gym. My skin feels cleaner and more hygienic using these instead of regular washcloths." —Janice Gearhart

Promising review: "I love this keyboard cover. It has a nice feeling, is very flexible, and fits like a glove on my MacBook Air. It doesn't come off even when I'm moving my laptop around a lot (which I do since I do a lot of work on the sofa or the bed, where I end up in weird positions to be comfortable). I can feel each key individually when I hit them, which is really nice. I also type a lot due to work and school, as well as simply writing in my free time, and this cover has held up the entire time. I haven't seen any signs of wear or fading in the six months I've had it. This is a very durable keyboard — I eat with my laptop all the time, and I've actually spilled coffee on my keyboard once, and nothing happened — it actually kind of kept the liquid there until I could clean it off. I would definitely buy this again if I needed another color." —Sadia Rahman

Get it from Amazon for $5.89+ (available in eight colors).

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! 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." 

Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but they will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of four).

Promising review: "We decided on the all season weight comforter because we like the feel of a comforter, but didn't want to sleep too hot. The all-season weight accomplishes that perfectly. We have been using it through the winter with the thermostat set to 69 degrees and we sleep comfortably." —Jose O.

Get it from Amazon for $299 (only available in size twin/twin XL) or from Brooklinen for $254.15+ (available in sizes twin–Cali King). 

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for in an affordable Apple laptop. Small, fast, great for school work and browsing the internet. It feels very well built, and I love the citrus yellow color." —michael

Get it from Amazon for $599+ (available in two storage sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "I live in New England, where it’s known for cold, dry winters. My skin was suffering due to the dryness. I had dry bumps on my legs and thighs, and the back of my arms. It felt like sandpaper! I used this product once, and let me tell you, I no longer have dry skin bumps, and I’m almost 50 years old! You will love it. And it has a nice scent as well. It’s worth every penny!!" —C. Swasey

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four formulas). 

Promising review: "This product is exactly as shown. Rubber backing keeps it from slipping off. Just the right size to hold everything you need. I recommend it." —Madelyn White

JSYK: The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this sunscreen. I'm always wary of 'for everyone' tinted products because they aren't usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. The video and pictures are in direct sunlight, so you can see [the product] in full effect. For reference, I have combination, thirtysomething-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." —Lovely91

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in three sizes and four shades).

BuzzFeed writer Sally Elshorafa owns this and loves it. Check out her Owala FreeSip water bottle review!

Promising review: "Stanley who??? I absolutely LOVE this water bottle. Way better than other name-brand tumblers with a straw that sticks up! Love that the straw is covered, and the water bottle has a carry loop, making it easy to carry when your hands are full. So much easier to drink from, and you have the option to drink from the straw or sip. This is truly leakproof and keeps drinks cold for hours! It's also durable. I have dropped it a few times, and there wasn't even a scratch on the bottle. I will definitely be ordering more!" —BAJ

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes and 22 colors). 

Promising reviews: "These little pot scrubbers are great. They do the job on pots and pans without scratching. Plus, they last forever. I throw them in the dishwasher, and they are as good as new." —JUDY ANN BAKER

"These scrubbers are great — durable, absorbent, have a ton of uses, and can be thrown in the washing machine or dishwasher. Do yourself a favor and buy some!" —Ellen Stebbins

Get them from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two styles and in packs of one, two, four, and eight).

Promising review: "This is such a great Kindle! It’s lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Kindle Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn’t as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." —Christine Heath

Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in black and matcha, and with or without an ad lock screen). 

Promising review: "Finally, a lip balm that relieves chapped lips. The product is soothing and provides long-lasting protection. I noticed improvement within a week of applying it a few times a day." —NH

Get it from Amazon for $16.79 (available in five colors).

Reviewers even compare this to the $30 EdgeLift version! 

Promising review: "I have not tried the name-brand brush, but grabbed this one to see if the design worked for my hair. Holy defined curls, Batman! I styled pretty much as usual, but used the brush to distribute the product (I use Innersense gel), lifting at the roots and letting the curls bounce after I released. This photo is after breaking the cast with some hair oil. My curls are never this defined. Don’t think twice about it: your curls need this brush." —Natalie Gonzalez

Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Holy grail. This is my favorite moisturizer! Its consistency is perfect. I have combo skin, and I struggle to find something that leaves my skin soft and not sticky or lacking the moisture I need, and this meets both of those. It’s also extremely lightweight, zero greasiness at all, smooth, and has no weird smells. I will forever buy this. It’s helped repair my barrier and keep my skin looking vibrant." —Liss

Promising review: "This Christmas gift was the perfect cure for my hard-to-sleep nights. Within just a few minutes, I was out cold. Talk about feeling refreshed this morning!! I may even skip my coffee, haha! We are taking it for a trip we have coming up because it’s so easy to use, small and compact for packing, and let’s face it, hotels are the hardest places to sleep, so we think this will be a game changer for us." —A C

Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I love this hamper. It was easy to set up, and it’s spacious and sturdy. I can see it’s going to keep my laundry space well-organized. Removing the hamper to dump loads in the washer was easy. This product exceeds my expectations and does exactly what it’s intended to do! Highly recommend." —Susie

Get it from Amazon for $61.62+ (available in two sizes, two styles, and three colors).
