    Promising review: "The adults in this house love water balloons but not the mess…plus with toddlers around, it didn’t quite make sense to have water balloons but we saw a random video on TikTok and HAD to find reusable water balloons to try out. These were the first ones we bought to try out, and WHOA we were blown away! Super easy to for the 2- and 3-year-old to use, which means more fun for all of us!! Do not think twice or continue with regular water balloons, you’ll waste precious time cleaning up and filling that could be used to make memories." —Taurus

    2. Some seamless bra liners for when boob sweat just won't allow your day to be great. This amazing invention absorbs sweat and provides a barrier that prevents the underwire from digging into your skin. Now you can wear that cute top without worrying about any discomfort or sweat stains.

    Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for" —Niko

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in three colors). 

    3. A reviewer-beloved beach tent constructed with the highest sun protection rating you can get for fabrics (UPF 50+) so you can spend hours soaking up the sun while still staying safe. You won’t have to wrestle with poles or confusing instructions — setup is a breeze. Plus, it anchors to the ground with bags you fill with sand (a small shovel is included) so you won’t have to stress about it flying away with the wind.

    You can read more about UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and why it matters at the Skin Cancer Foundation.  

    Promising review: "I got this for a week-long beach trip, and it did not disappoint. This thing is super easy to put up and has plenty of space for the littles to play in the shade. I didn’t worry even once about the wind snatching this thing up. It was super sturdy with the sandbags filled. 10/10." —Madison H.

    Get it from Amazon for $129.95+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

    4. A pair of reusable silicone nipple covers so you can rock that cute sleeveless maxi dress without living out your own version of Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction. These little lifesavers are the perfect companion for bra-free days, offering ultra-discreet coverage that's totally sweatproof.  

    Promising review: "You know when your life gets better after you purchase a specific product? Well, this is that product. With this Texas summer weather approaching, wearing a bra is like sticking your breasts in a straitjacket! I slapped these bad boys on today and went braless in a white tank top! I'm a happy woman!" —Amazon Customer

    Get a pair from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes, two styles, and five shades). 

    5. A set of reusable ice packs if you’ve ever struggled to keep your snacks and drinks cold during those sweltering summer picnics or beach trips. These little wonders are designed to keep your favorite foods and soft drinks chilled for an impressive 24–48 hours. They can replace up to 3 pounds of traditional ice, which = less mess and no more dealing with soggy sandwiches or wet cooler bottoms.

    Promising review: "Everyone should have some of these!! We go on lots of camping trips and take/make our own food even at our timeshare. These packs are the best solution to our food not spoiling, especially when paired with the right cooler, and soooo much easier to deal with than messy ice. In the past we’d use smaller ice blocks that were much smaller but bulky and had to use so many just to keep things cool. Now we’ll be able to use less packs and keep things cold. Wish we had these sooner for some of our wasted food mishaps. Also company’s customer service is wonderful!! Will happily purchase again and tell others about these." —Amazon Customer

    Get a cooler-size three-pack from Amazon for $34.99 (also available in other packs and sizes).

    6. A tube of Burt's Bees After Sun soother formulated with aloe and coconut oil in case you don't want to be twins with Larry the Lobster. This post-beach pick-me-up is packed with natural antioxidants to help the skin after being sunburned — like a refreshing mojito🍹 for your skin.

    This product is formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS.

    Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica I had it and trust me when I tell you it’s saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun you can use this and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized it will not hurt and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." —Kenneth

    Get it from Amazon for $10.07.

    7. thermal phone case made to keep your device cool even under the blazing sun. By keeping your phone at a more stable temperature, it helps extend the battery life! Think: more time for selfies, GPS navigation, or just scrolling through social media while lounging by the pool.

    It works the same way to protect your phone in extreme cold, and it also provides excellent protection if your phone gets dropped or knocked over!

    Promising review: "The main reason I purchased this is to protect my phone from the heat during the summer. I just slide my phone into the sleeve with the cover on it. When I am at the beach or if I leave my phone in my vehicle, I am confident it is protected. Fits securely. Worth every penny." —Vick

    Get it from Amazon for $39.97.

    8. bug zapper to zap those buzzing party crashers that were NOT invited to the cookout. The built-in LED light not only attracts bugs to their doom but also adds some cozy ambiance to your after-dark gathering. It's waterproof and designed to withstand the elements, so you don’t have to worry about a sudden rain shower ruining the device!

    Promising review: "This bug zapper is great. I ended up getting it for the flies that get into my house. With spring and summer cookouts, people tend to leave the doors open or take too long to close them. This is quite effective and the most effective at night. I leave it on the kitchen countertop and go to bed counting zaps. I like that it has the light below it too and a hinge in case you want to hang it on a hook." —Nio

    Get it from Amazon for $39.95.

    9. And a garbage guard for when you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy your evening...when all of a sudden, you hear this agitating, grating noise of flies buzzing around the garbage can. This little gizmo sticks inside your garbage can and releases an odorless vapor that keeps bugs at bay for a whopping four months.

    Promising review: "Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor, just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc)." —Michael E. Bradley

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    10. An inflatable pool cooler if you've ever been lounging in your pool on a hot summer day, only to realize you have to get out and trudge back to the house to grab a cold drink or snack. This cute, nifty thing will keep all your essentials chilled *and* afloat so you can continue relaxing in your pool without a care in the world.

    Promising review: "Perfect floating table. We have an above-ground pool without a deck and nowhere really to put our stuff. This is a perfect solution. I put my phone in a dry box and set it on this float. I keep my sunscreen, my waterproof speaker, lip balm, and snacks all in the middle, and then, of course, drinks in the DEEP cup holders, no tipping or spilling! I bought this one because I can put a small umbrella in it and just lean it against the rainbow — it shades my phone and speaker from the sun and keeps my drink in the shade. I love this float! Highly recommend!" —Marshall

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    11. mini waist fan that attaches right to your waistband and blows cool air under your shirt. It's like having your own personal AC unit, minus the bulk! This little gadget has three airflow speeds and lasts up to 24 hours on a single charge. 

    It also comes with a necklace strap so you can wear it around your neck! When you *do* need to recharge it, it'll be fully charged and ready to go again in just 3–4 hours.

    Promising review: "I referee outside and I buy tons of gadgets to help deal with this summer heat. Well my wife started walking a lot and I noticed she was sweating a ton, so I bought this for her and decided to get one myself too. I have a neck fan, but if it's super hot you'll feel a breeze, but it won't be as cold as you'd want. This item blows cold air all the time. The trick is to make sure you have good spacing between your shirt and body to get the best breeze. I've found that it works best on my back. When I use it on the front, I have to be mindful of the angle, I have a small gut, that can block the good flowing air. When positioned right, it works wonders in the heat and will keep you cool. I highly recommend this and may buy another for myself." —Terrance Thomas

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors).

    12. Or a hands-free bladeless personal fan you can wear around your neck, with not one but *two* fans pointing directly at your face. Picture yourself strolling through sun-soaked streets, hiking trails, or lounging at an outdoor event with a gentle, refreshing breeze keeping you cool and comfortable. No more overheating or desperate searches for shade.

    The rechargeable fan lasts for up to 16 hours, and it has six different speed settings. Reviewers say it's especially great for people who work outside all day and still need their hands free to do tasks.

    Promising review: "Best thing I’ve bought in a very long time!! Living in Texas means HOT summers and I hate always being so sweaty! This fan is a lifesaver and everyone who has seen me with it has asked to try it and loved it. Buying a second one today. 👌🏼" —Laura W. 

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

    13. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes if you're someone who finds themselves wiping away beads of sweat even when it's freezing outside. With these convenient bad boys, you can make it through the day feeling fresh and dry.

    Each box lasts two months!

    Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

    14. A pair of sockless shoe liners giving you that fresh, clean feeling without the bulk of socks. These little lifesavers are washable and super absorbent, saving you from the unpleasant odors and discomfort that come with stinky, sweaty feet in the summer sun.

    The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.

    Promising review: "I can't recommend these inserts enough! After a week of heavy use, they hardly smell. Pop them in the wash, and they are ready to go again! Super comfy and doesn't move around. So nice to have in shoes you don't feel like wearing socks with! Plus, so many fun patterns!" —Vicky L. Parr

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes that fit women's sizes 6–13 and four colors).

    15. An adjustable mister ready to cool you (and your surroundings) off by up to 20 degrees. Whether you're catching some rays on a lounge chair or just chilling on your patio, this mister can stand on its own or wrap around a structure with ease.

    The mister comes with an interchangeable flower-shaped misting head for a fun, whimsical detail.

    Promising review: "I didn't really expect this mister to be worth anything, but I was really wrong. I live in South Texas, so I purchased a canopy for my western facing patio and it was still to hot to sit outside. I thought I would give this a try and I couldn't believe it. We sat outside on a 98 degree day all afternoon with just this mister! It works perfect and well worth every penny I paid for it. If this one ever breaks, I will buy another one right away. It can be adjusted to how much mist come out. Even my dogs sit out under the canopy and let the mister spray them. I would never have another summer without one." —Sheila

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (colors may vary).

    16. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers acting as a friendly little reminder right on your skin that it's time to reapply sunscreen. These nifty stickers change color and darken as your sunscreen wears off, giving you a clear signal that your skin is being exposed to higher UV levels. No more guesswork or worrying about whether you're still protected!

    Promising review: "I'm multiracial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife

    Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $15.99.

    17. A pair of beach socks here to keep your feet protected from scorching sand and jagged rocks, letting you focus on the fun stuff like building sandcastles and catching waves. They’re super easy to put on, and once you’re done using them, they roll up neatly for hassle-free storage.

    Promising review: "Water sports shoes save the bottom of my feet from being torn up by the pebble tech on the floor of my pool. It also protects feet from the intense Arizona heat on pool decks (yes, even pool decks get extremely hot in Arizona). I will definitely wear them when at the beach — walking on sand and in the ocean." —noslip

    Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–13.5, men's sizes 3–12, and various designs).

    18. high ponytail running cap to help you crush your fitness goals and look stylish while doing it. The back of this cap opens up thanks to the magnetic clasp, letting you rock a high- or mid-pony (no matter the thickness) to keep hair off your neck during workouts! It's giving sweaty, but make it ✨ fashion ✨.

    Vimhue is an Arizona-based, woman-owned small business that specializes in uniquely engineered running hats. 

    My former colleague Ciera Velarde says: "I just bought this for my half-marathon training and I really like using it! I have to wear a hat while running because I sweat *a lot* and absolutely hate the sting of sweat dripping into my eyes. But whenever I would wear traditional caps, I didn't like that my ponytail had to sit pretty low on my head, which meant it would stick to my sweaty neck and make me feel even *more* hot. This solves all my problems!! I love being able to sport my high pony and feel a nice breeze on my neck. Plus: The material is super breathable, and I just throw it into the washing machine in a delicates bag whenever I need to wash it. (Make sure you hang dry!)”

    Promising review: "Love this hat so much! I already ordered another one in a different color for myself and one for a friend! I live in Texas near the Gulf and it’s summer — really humid and really hot. I walk 3–4 miles outside most days and I’d been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to Google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it’s super cute!" —mlp06h

    Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 (available in 21 colors).

    19. A set of waterproof dog booties made to protect your dog's paws from the harsh elements, whether it's the sizzling pavement or rough terrain during long summer hikes. Since they're waterproof, they hold up well against puddles or unexpected rain showers. 

    Ciera also owns this: “My family uses these on our goldendoodle (who lives in Texas!) in the summer because he loves to run around our pool and he ends up with roughed-up, bloody paws from the hot pavement. When we first got these for him, he definitely walked like a baby deer! But after a day or two of wearing them inside the house, he's been comfortable wearing them outside ever since and walks/runs normally with them on! They stay secure with the Velcro straps even when he's zooming around the pool trying to get splashed.”

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in eight sizes and seven colors).

    20. A set of towels you can soak in water, give a quick wring, then drape around your neck for instant, cooling relief. Think of it as your secret weapon against the heat on those days when stepping outside feels like walking into an oven. 

    Promising review: "It gets to be over 100 degrees in the summer where I live. These come in handy when working in the yard, at the beach or even at the county fair when it's super hot. What a relief these are to use when the weather is hot. I've purchased these many times because I always seem to give them out especially to those that work outside in the heat (mail carrier, pool guy, landscaper...) and they are always very appreciative." —Realfoodmama

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $11.69+ (available in 13 color sets).

    21. A bag of Firecracker-flavored Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix, aka the key to enjoying those early morning excursions and long hikes — especially after a night of sipping on some tropical mai tais. These packets help replenish electrolytes so you can stay hydrated and enjoy your summer festivities to the fullest. 

    The Firecracker flavors include cherry, lemon lime, and raspberry!

    Promising review: "Liquid IV does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let’s talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn’t either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn’t stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" —Disney Diva

    Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $24.99.

    22. A set of DEET-free mosquito-repelling bracelets if your plans are packed with hiking, camping, and all things outdoorsy, but you can't stand sticky, smelly bug sprays. With these bracelets, you can forget about constantly reapplying spray and enjoy the great outdoors bug-free. Plus, they're super cute, easy to wear, and — most importantly — keep mosquitoes at bay without the need for harsh chemicals.

    Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action. 

    Promising review: "No complaints, I'm just satisfied. It worked. We were surprised that such a small bracelet could keep us bug-free, but it did." —M. A. Cooper

    Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $9.99

    23. A doggie sunscreen to protect your furry four-legged adventure buddy from the sun’s harsh rays. This nongreasy, all-over spray is perfect for protecting those sensitive spots like bellies, noses, ears, paws, and legs that can easily get sunburned. No matter the breed, this sunscreen is a must-have, but it’s especially awesome for pups with white or pink skin and those with thinner, shorter coats.

    Emmy's Best is a small business that creates various pet and home care products made from gentle ingredients.

    Promising review: "This has been a wonderful product! I was a little skeptical because of the price, and our pit has skin issues, as a lot of pits do, but this works great. He was going out and getting very pink colored on the white parts of his coat, becoming even more itchy than usual with his skin issues, and you could tell it was bothersome. I asked my vet about this, and she said it was OK to use, so I tried it a little bit first to see if he had any issues. There were none, so I used it all over. I couldn’t believe the difference! This is definitely worth the price! He can now go out even in the hot sun (of course, with breaks) and not get pinkish/red all where the white is. He knows he has to get it on and really doesn’t like it but he doesn’t like baths, rain, or to be wet at all. Once it’s put on, I let him sit inside or in the shade for it to dry before going out in sun exposure, just as I do for regular sunscreen, and it seems to work great. I could tell a difference when my husband took him out without it; you could see he was pink again compared to going out with it on." —Awesome Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in two sizes).

    24. An inflatable pool because you refuse to let this heat wave take the fun out of your summer. Now you can kick back and sip on a glass of lemonade while cooling off, even if you've only got a tiny backyard.

    Promising review: "Good size. I'm 5'4" and I bought it for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old for the spring and summer. I didn't need anything huge; I have a nice size deck and we spend a lot of time on the deck so I wanted something big enough for them to have some wiggle room to keep cool but not too big so it wouldn't take up to much room. I also purchased an outdoor grass rug to put it on to protect the bottom of it and keep it from getting splinters (just a suggestion if you plan on using on the deck). It has a drain plug so cleaning and getting fresh water is not hard at all." —Majestic 0220

    Get it from Amazon for $61

    25. Or a family-friendly backyard sprinkler that's your one-way ticket to staying cool without the hassle of filling and dumping a massive kiddie pool. Just set it up and let everyone splash around and enjoy — when you're done, there won't be a giant pool of water to deal with. It’s easy, refreshing, and sure to be a hit with the whole crew!

    Promising review: "My 2-year-old and 10-year-old kids and 32-year-old husband love it. Super easy to put together. Great for easy cool down in the back for those without a pool. Florida living here, so water is a must in summer. Has held up very well in terms of durability. Left it out for a few days, and it still worked great." —Deja T. 

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three designs).

    26. A pack of underarm shields designed to soak up sweat (and stop odors) before it even has a chance to stain your shirt. Now you can enjoy all of your summer activities without the embarrassment of sweat stains or funky smells.

    Promising review: "I love these. I have a few cute summer dresses with sleeves — eeek! The first time I tried the shields it was 104 degrees at an outdoor event, and I was sweating bullets! The shields worked BEAUTIFULLY. Not a sweat stain in sight." —Cosmic Girl

    Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $14.99.

    27. A patio table mosquito net enclosure acting as a personal bouncer, making sure those winged nuisances aren’t buzzing around ruining the mood. And when the coast is clear, you can simply tie back the netting to open up the space.

    Promising review: “We bought this for a rather large umbrella over our table in the backyard, and used it for the first time last night. We were less concerned about mosquitoes because we have a service to eliminate them — it's the bees that were disturbing our outdoor meals and events. My wife hosted a few friends last night, and they all fell in love with this. They've all been fighting with bees lately, and they were not bothered once by any bugs. Every friend bought the netting on the spot. Also, when you're inside the netting sitting on chairs, it's almost as if the netting is invisible; most of the time you can't tell whether it's even there, especially at night.” —Sara Olshanky

    Get it from Amazon for $38.69 (also available in a version with LED lights).

    28. Or a pack of mosquito dunks formulated to decrease the presence of mosquitoes over time, allowing you to reclaim your outdoor sanctuary. These dunks are infused with BTI, a bacteria that's toxic to mosquitoes and their larvae, but safe for wildlife. Just drop the dunks into any standing water, and within hours, it will eliminate both mosquitoes and larvae for up to 30 days.

    You can learn more about BTI, the bacteria in mosquito dunks, at the CDC.

    Promising review: "These did an amazing job last year cutting down on mosquitoes in my garden area. I live in a hot, wet area and every time I would go out to work in my garden I would come back in with many bites, and for whatever reason, I am extremely sensitive to mosquito bites. After putting some of these out in buckets of water in various areas, I actually noticed I wasn't getting bitten up anymore. As I'm beginning to plan a garden for later on this year, this is first on my list to re-buy. I love that they're non-toxic and don't harm anything except mosquitoes. I'm looking into buying a bird bath at some point and have hesitated due to not wanting standing water, but a piece of one of these mosquito dunks every now and then in the water should keep that from becoming an issue." —Bonnie

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99.

    29. A cut-to-size aloe wrap in case you end up with a painful sunburn despite your best efforts with sunscreen. Just cut it to the desired size, wrap it around your burn, and let the natural aloe work its magic. It’s like a refreshing, healing hug for your sun-stressed skin.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I got absolutely FRIED at the beach this past weekend and tried everything under the sun (literally) to provide some relief for my sunburn. I was in so much pain, and every over-the-counter aloe gel, lidocaine, and cold shower was not helping. I found this wrap on my TikTok and immediately bought it. As soon as I put this on my burn, I was immediately relieved of any burning or irritation. I am wearing four patches right now, and I plan on wearing them all day, every day until this burn heals. I will say the only downside is they slip off the aloe has worn off! And it is a little bit hard to maneuver to cut since it is so slippery. But overall, I love this product and will be a forever customer!" —Nick

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    30. A dual-sided sticky insect trap specially designed to stop pests like gnats, fruit flies, and aphids right in their tracks. It’s like a bodyguard for your precious plants, keeping those leaf-munching critters at bay. 

    Promising review: "I use these every year to keep thrips from destroying my grapes. I don't like to use toxic chemicals in the garden, and these have been a lifesaver for my organic garden! Within a couple of days these sticky traps are covered front and back with nasty thrips. I put them up at the very beginning of the season and they stay up until harvest." —joni j

    Get it from Amazon for $8.89.

    31. Or a natural pest repellent with over 20,000 5-star ratings here to save your garden from unwanted visitors. Packed with extra concentrated peppermint oil, this concoction is like Kryptonite for those pesky critters that just won't leave your precious plants alone. And since it's all-natural, you can spray it around your plants (and pets) with peace of mind. 

    Mighty Mint Store is a small business that creates pest control sprays formulated from natural ingredients. 

    Promising review: "Sprayed this product on garden plants while at least 50 bugs were feasting on the single ripe tomato of the bunch. 😤 The scattering was real! Came out this morning to zero bugs on my 🍅 and I live in Florida (bug capitol of the US). Natural product with delightful scent that is safe to spray around my dog. Affordable as well. 👊🏾 Happy customer! 😁" —Terri H
