Cocomarts jelly bra that boosts and supports busts
Back in March of this year, we reported on this $15 "jelly bra," which promptly became a HuffPost reader favorite not just for its supreme comfort, but for its ability to make busts of all shapes and sizes look more streamlined, flattered and even underneath clothing.
Available in several prints and colors, this bra features no-show gel-infused cups and thick, widened straps for optimal support, as well as a widened U-shaped back complete with generous underarm edges that help distribute weight evenly.
"This bra blew my mind with the amount of support and comfort it gives is worth every penny," one Amazon reviewer wrote. "There is a soft gel-like padding that gives great shape as well. Will definitely be buying more in different colors. Do yourself a favor and buy this bra, you won't be disappointed."

Hanni's The Fatty moisture stick for the body
This solid body stick by indie body care brand Hanni is adorably dubbed "The Fatty" because it contains a hefty dose of moisturizing fatty acids derived from nourishing, antioxidant-rich butters and seed oils that all work together not just to improve skin health but also to prevent transepidermal water loss. I've been toting this chubby roll-on with me on every trip for the past two years because of its TSA-compatible design and ease of use.

A six-pack of Wine Condoms to preserve your wine
It turns out, these Wine Condoms are more than just a gag gift. They actually do a legitimately good job of preserving the freshness of your opened bottles of wine. Just like the real thing, simply slide the condom down the "shaft" of your bottle to create a water- and air-tight seal. And unlike corks or traditional wine stoppers, once the condom is on, you can even lay a bottle of wine flat in the fridge without the fear of spilling.
"It worked! Easy to use and it sealed the wine bottle tight! He even slowly tipped it upside down to put it to the ultimate test and not a single drop of wine came out," one Amazon shopper wrote in a review.

Edel+White CleanCurl 3D toothbrush
This strange-looking Swiss-designed manual toothbrush has garnered many fans for giving them a "life-changing" clean, and with much less effort than traditional toothbrushes. It has a regular brush head at its center that's flanked on either side by two layers of longer bristles that curve inwards to create a bridge shape. These bristles hug the teeth and brush perfectly along the gum line, as well as the no man's land that is the backs of teeth, all at once for a true three-dimensional clean. This means you can spend less time brushing, while still getting a thorough cleaning.
Based on reviews, the Edel+White CleanCurl 3D toothbrush has proven to be incredibly helpful for those with diminished grip strength or who are averse to the feel of a vibrating toothbrush in their hand.

A pair of **** Shoes that make the go easier
Despite all outward appearances, these are not a pair of groovy platforms for your next disco party. They are actually toilet shoes, meant to help make your number two as smooth and effortless as possible. Applying a similar concept to traditional toilet stools, **** Shoes help you achieve a natural squatting position so your colon is more aligned and there's significantly less strain. Now that's outta sight.
"Don't let just the novelty fool you, they definitely help me and I would know / 61 years old with spina bifida and h/o neurogenic bowel. These have been game changers," one reviewer wrote .
Though the brand markets these shoes as a great solution for hemorrhoids and constipation, they do not recommend them to be worn anywhere other than sitting down on the toilet.
Amazon
Ebanel 40% urea cream
If you're thinking that "urea" sounds a whole lot like "urine," then you would be right, because urea is actually an ingredient found in your pee. Don't worry, though, any urea used in creams such as the uber-effective Ebanel 40% urea cream is 100% synthetic, lab-made, safe and dermatologist-trusted.
Dermatologists have previously told us that multiple clinical trials on the use of urea-containing formulations have shown significant improvement in many of the dermatoses presenting with scaly and dry skin, such as atopic dermatitis. We're told that this is because urea is both a humectant and a keratolytic, meaning it can draw and retain moisture into the skin and help it feel softer and smoother.
While most urea moisturizers on the internet contain, on average, anywhere between 10% and 20% of this powerful ingredient, the Ebanel Urea Cream features a whopping 40% to soften dead skin, reduce callus buildup and repair the skin barrier almost overnight, according to those who swear by it.
Amazon
Gorilla Snot hair gel
Gone are the days of troublesome fly-aways, deflating pompadours or drooping mohawks, because the Gorilla Snot hair gel has a long history of keeping tresses in place. This completely residue-free formula promises a reliable hold and can be reactivated with water so you can renew your hairstyle without using more product. And despite the unsavory name, this gel doesn't smell like snot at all, but is pleasantly scented like peach, sweet cherry, tangerine, juicy orange, and green apple.
Amazon
Rio de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream
Just as its name suggests, the cult-favorite Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream can be slathered on your bum, thighs, boobs and beyond for its potential to tighten and smooth the look of skin, thanks to fatty acids and plant-derived butters and oils. And possibly most appealing is this decadent cream's fragrance, which features notes of vanilla, salted caramel, pistachio and coconut that give it a rich, full-bodied scent without being cloying.
Amazon
Laruoouu pit pads
Pit stains and soaking wet underarms are a pain, but the Laruoouu pit pads are here to make those hot and humid days a little more comfortable, while saving your white shirts from dingy destruction at the same time. Made from three layers of breathable and absorbent cotton, these pads have an adhesive so they stick to the inner armpits of shirts and keep you dry for up to 12 hours.

Pooplunch false eyelashes
Your eyes do not deceive you. These fluffy and beautiful cat-eye falsies are by a brand called Pooplunch, a name made all the more mystifying by its solid reputation among Amazon customers.

You may wonder how something that's such a shocking shade of violet could lift stubborn stains from the tooth's surface, however, according to an abundance of enthusiastic reviews, this natural toothpaste actually brightens and whitens yellow teeth. This is because the violet hue helps neutralize yellow tones and helps prevent new stains from happening.
"I can honestly say I've noticed a huge difference," one Amazon shopper claimed .
The Euthymol purple toothpaste also doesn't have a traditional overpowering mint taste either, nor will it sensitize teeth and gums, since it's fortified with ingredients that protect and strengthen enamel.
Amazon

Just as your face can benefit from a sheet mask, so can your butt, and Bawdy's butt mask aims to "combat gravity and perfect the appearance of your skin," according to the brand. There are a few different formulas, however, the Slap It formula appears to be the most popular, featuring caffeine to help retexturize, brighten and detoxify skin, as well as antioxidant-rich goji berry and orange peel extract.
Amazon
Cocolab expanding dental floss
Dentists have previously highlighted woven dental floss as a top pick for keeping gums healthy, especially expanding types like the Cocolab textured floss that puffs up slightly and has a woven structure that helps grab and lift plaque off the teeth, rather than simply sliding between them. Available in several flavors, Cocofloss "is infused with nourishing coconut oil, with microcrystalline wax to help it glide between teeth with comfort," according to the brand.
Amazon
