1. An oscillating tower fan to shoo the heat right out of your room. Not only does this bladeless fan operate super quietly, but it also comes with a remote, so you don't have to leave your comfy spot to get even comfier. You'll be able to find the perfect level of cool for you thanks to its six speeds.
Promising review: "After moving into a traditional two-story home from a rancher, we wanted fans in our bedrooms to help keep them cool. I have struggled to find a ceiling fan I liked for our primary bedroom, so I finally decided to pick up this tower fan and give it a try. I am so impressed with how quiet it is and how much power it puts out. Having a remote is a major selling point with being in our bedroom. It’s slim and able to be tucked away into the corner out of sight when not in use, but it’s not even an eyesore that I mind having out to be seen. It was easy to assemble in a matter of just two minutes without any help needed. I’m already looking into purchasing a second one for my large family room, as it has plenty of power to accommodate the space. The remote is easy to use, and I am thrilled with this purchase!" —Jai Banks
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two styles).
2. Or an Alexa-compatible air conditioner because you'd love to save on your energy bill *and* be saved from heat and humidity. Your room will be comfortably chill in a matter of minutes. And you'll barely even hear a whisper from this ultra quiet AC.
Promising review: "I don’t usually write product reviews, but I am now because this is one of the best household products I have ever bought. This Midea U-shaped AC is an ingenious design that is basically a split AC system mounted in a window, with the window closing almost all the way through the middle of the unit. The result is a much quieter and more efficient unit, with the noisy part that generates heat on the outside of the closed window. It also looks sleek and modern, and the remote control and app are great. I have thought many times, 'I wish someone would make a split AC system that can fit in a window without having to install separate units on the roof or wall,' and now they have!" —Ben
Get it from Amazon for $357+ (available in three sizes).
3. And a programmable AC booster fan that can help increase and improve airflow from your HVAC systems. It has 10 speeds and can easily be mounted to your registers.
Promising review: "I have a room that is extremely hot in the spring and summer. With this product (and the task of temporarily closing vents in other rooms), I am able to bring the temp down 6 degrees in that hot room in just one hour without affecting the temp anywhere else! Awesome!!" —Denise Davis
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in white or bronze and two sizes).
4. A daily facial spray for helping calm and relieve hot, sunburned skin. Designed with sensitive skin in mind, this pH-balanced toner can be used any time of day and can even be used over makeup!
Tower 28 is an LA-based, Asian woman-owned small business creating nontoxic, vegan, and cruelty-free beauty products for all skin types.
Promising review: "This product is so amazing for when your skin feels like it’s burning or it’s irritated. It has such a calming factor to it, and I really like the 'saltwater' scent." —kealsc
Get it from Tower 28 on Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes) or Sephora for $12+ (available in three sizes).
5. A Burt's Bees after sun lotion formulated with coconut, aloe, and antioxidants to help soothe and hydrate your skin instantly.
Promising review: "I’m happy to say this product works! I purchased this product due to my inability to provide my skin with appropriate sun protection one day this summer. I proceeded to spend a night wishing that I could safely freeze myself into an ice cube. Midnight discomfort led me to this product. The initial use was a day or two after the day of regret, but it eased the discomfort and moisturized my reddened skin, helping to soften the leather layer I had started to form. Of course, this review would not be complete without me faulting myself a second time. Two times in one summer, I proved my inability to adult well. I applied this lotion the MINUTE I realized that I had experienced another exposure to the sun for too long a period. To my absolute joy, this product relieved my discomfort. It left a layer that stayed cool for a few hours (at which time I reapplied it), it was a little tacky to the touch (not sticky or oily), and my skin did not experience the crocodile and subsequent peeling experience it had earlier in the season. The scent is soft and not overpowering. I have experienced skin sensitivity in the past to products, but I had no issues with Burt’s Bees products. Thank you for providing me with such a helpful product." —Meghan
Get it from Amazon for $10.07.
6. A sleek 3-in-1 handheld fan because it's also a portable charger and flashlight, so if you're caught in the dark, and it's hot, and your phone is on 1%, you'll be glad to have this gadget in your back pocket.
Promising review: "A lifesaver! The compact design makes it easy to carry in your bag or pocket. The fan's performance is impressive; it generates a strong breeze for its size, instantly cooling me down on hot days. The noise level is pleasantly low, perfect for use in quiet environments. The battery life is impressive, lasting through extended outings. It's a must-have for anyone looking to stay cool and refreshed during summer or while traveling. We are thrilled with this handy little fan!" —Allie
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors).
7. Or a rechargeable and flexible hands-free personal fan with three speeds that'll keep you cool while you brave the sun's rays.
Promising review: "I live in sunny Florida. This product keeps me cool for hours at a time. I love it. I won't leave home without it." —VaNonda Harmon-fielder
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in three colors).
8. A portable dehumidifier for sucking the water out of the air so you can breathe a little easier in this heat. It can collect up to 16 ounces of water in 24 hours! This ultra-quiet dehumidifier has seven lights to help create a soothing atmosphere.
Promising review: "This little thing sucks some serious water out of the air. I have to empty it sometimes, as often as every other day. Before, I used to wake up drenched in sweat even when it wasn't particularly hot in my room, and now I can sleep through the night. It keeps the humidity down to a bearable level." —Chocolate Latte
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in white and black).
9. An ice cube tray designed to create perfect ice rings that'll fit in your 30-ounce and 40-ounce tumblers! Because if you keep your water cool, you'll stay cool, too. It's the transitive property in action!
Promising review: "I use these in my BruMate and Meoky cups, and they fit perfectly. I always struggle with getting my straw through the ice and in the middle so the lid will close. These ice cubes stay on the edge of the cup and allow plenty of room for the straw." —sarah schultz
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
10. A pack of aluminum-free deodorant wipes if the summer heat is causing you to sweat and smell while you're out socializing. These will remove odors and leave behind a coconut-y scent. Keep these handy wipes in your purse so you can freshen up anywhere!
Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Vicky Reyes
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $17.58.
11. An Epi-Pet spray-on sunscreen for protecting your pets from the treacherous rays of the sun while also keeping their skin and coats conditioned. And because the creators of this sunscreen know pets do what pets do, they made it ultra water- and sweat-resistant.
Promising review: "Love this product. The aerosol canister allows quick application at all angles (i.e., armpits, groin). Aerosol also goes on light and even and dries quickly. Top has locking lid to keep little kids out. When it says 'meets the FDA guidelines,' it means for ingredient stability and safety. Proven to stay good for a year with normal storage. Waterproof and 'lick-safe' once dry. This dries almost instantly. It isn't greasy, though you will notice a slight difference in coat texture — kind of feels like a very fine dusting of talc powder — but hands come away clean. Smells nice (vanilla). Blocks both UVA and UVB rays and contains five different sunscreen ingredients (as found in human sunscreens), in addition to skin conditioners. Rates equivalent to 30–40 SPF (you only get to say 'equivalent' because the SPF scale was developed using human skin). Brand respected and carried by veterinary dermatologists. Introduce the new sound and smell of this product with treats and praise, and your dog will love it as much as mine does!" —1project2many
Get it from Amazon for $17.28.
12. An ice roller so you can cool your skin after sun exposure. Just pop it in the freezer then roll it over your eyelids, neck, and back for some heat (or body ache) relief.
Promising reviews: "Fantastic on hot days to roll over face, eyes, cheeks, and neck area to cool down for heat relief (and prevent headache triggers). God bless whoever created these!" —DebA
"I love this to help reduce swelling. In the spring and fall, I often wake up with very puffy eyes, and this makes a big difference in my inflammation throughout the day." —E & C Michaels
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in many colors).
13. A stick-on shade since the sun plans to tag along on your travel adventures so some protection from its rays might be nice. This is great especially if you have kids in the backseat.
14. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion that contains tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts. It's especially helpful if the summer heat gives you swamp butt. Now, you may truly have a bottom as smooth as, well, a baby's bottom.
Promising review: "I’ve used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is my skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
15. A set of electrolyte-rich Liquid I.V. hydration packets to help you get hydrated faster (it works faster than water), especially as you brave the heat to try to have fun this summer.
Psst — it's also gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free! FYI, depending on your situation, water may be enough to rehydrate you! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic.
BuzzFeed writer Elizabeth Lilly swears by these:
"I always ALWAYS pack this stuff for trips. I recently visited Vegas for ~48 hours for an outdoor music festival. I drank one in the morning before boarding my flight, then once I got checked into my hotel, then the next morning before the music festival where I was outside and guzzling tall boys of beer. And I felt great when I woke up the next day! Drinking Liquid I.V. also meant I didn't have to guzzle plain water (and then stand in line for the bathroom a ton) to stay hydrated for the 12+-hour festival."
Promising review: "I’m a tile setter in South Texas, and Liquid I.V. has made a significant difference in my ability to stay hydrated in these 100+ degree summer days." —Colton F.
Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in sugar-free flavors).
16. A Megababe anti-chafing balm because heat = wearing shorts and wearing shorts = rubbing your thighs raw if you're not careful. Formulated with aloe, pomegranate, and grapeseed oil, this balm will also work to moisturize and soothe your skin.
Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer.
Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn’t sure if it would work or not, but WOW!!!!! It works!!!! Amazing!! I’ve been to a music festival for the past two years, and from walking too much, I’ve gotten the worst chafing. This year, I decided to buy this and use it during my two days at the music festival. No chafing whatsoever!!! I did reapply a few times (because I was walking tons/sweating). But seriously, this product is wonderful. I tried deodorant last year, and that was no help for me. This is my new go-to, and I’m excited to use it more this summer! Buy this!" —Queen268
Get it from Amazon for $13.97, Megababe for $14, or Target for $13.99.
17. A portable dog water bottle and food container since it'll allow you to both hydrate and feed your pup when you're on the go!
Promising review: "I have an 8-pound Maltipoo who goes everywhere with me. This item is nothing but perfect. She got used to it quickly, and I love the snack container that comes with it. What a bonus. Oh yeah, no leakage!!! Great value for the money." —Ms Ladybug
Get it from Amazon for $11.88+ (available in 2 sizes and 12 colors).
18. Seamless bra liners made from a cotton and bamboo blend that'll not only help with boob sweat but could also help alleviate discomfort from underwires. These moisture-wicking liners are gentle and breathable.
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 five color combinations).

Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. I needed something to store in my gym shoes, and these are great! Nice fresh laundry smell." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.98.
20. And speaking of stinky shoes, a pair of sockless shoe liners so your feet don't overheat in actual socks. A summer without sweaty, smelly socks? Sounds like a win to me. These no-slip and no-show liners are also washable!
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 [fits women's sizes 6–13] and four colors).
21. A pack of underarm shields to keep sweat stains from ruining your hands up "woo!" moments this summer. Just adhere these absorbent pads to the insides of your tops to prevent moisture from seeping through.
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.
22. An oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll help soak up any excess oil. Instant matte skin FTW!
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 (aka 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
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
23. And a skin-mattifying Estée Lauder moisturizer for a shine-free finish! This lightweight and hydrating product will help control oil for up to 10 hours!
Promising review: "I have sensitive skin and eyes. I've searched and spent a LOT of $$$$$$$ over the years trying to find a moisturizer that wouldn't leave a shine or sting my eyes if it crept into them. This stuff is the best I've ever tried. I find it soothing (I have rosacea). I think they do have cucumber in it, and it has a faint, cooling smell that is just really nice. It doesn't irritate my eyes if it gets into them. It doesn't leave a shine, it isn't greasy, and it feels great on the skin. Everything about this purchase was fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend this product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $37.21.
24. A tub of 100% natural dog paw wax because it'll provide protection against too-hot pavement. No more cracked and dry paws!
Promising review: "I have used this on three dogs I’ve had. Living in the Northeast, I deal with snow, salt, ice, and blistering pavement in the summers, and this product is an absolute miracle. I purchased three more containers today for my dog to give out as Christmas presents to her friends. It is that good. In the summer, when the temperature is 80 and above, I put it on her paws, and she can walk on asphalt without issue. In the winter, I put it on her paws two to three times a week, and she can withstand the bitter cold and salty walks. FYI: If your dog is slipping around inside, you have put too much on! You need to work this into the pad, between the toes, and wipe off any excess with a paper towel." —Kat Lanz
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
25. A cooling body pillow you'll wanna wrap yourself around all night. It's made with a high-density shredded memory foam and a moisture-wicking bamboo cover that allows for breathability. Twelve hours of cooler sleep? Yes, please!
Promising review: "I'm a believer! This body pillow is amazing, especially in warmer months. One side has cooling technology that is actually cooler to the touch and stays that way all night! The other side is soft puffed fabric. The pillow part is memory foam, so it not only contours but also supports your body. Perfect for a side sleeper like me. This was a great buy for me, and I highly recommend it. Follow the directions for unboxing so that the pillow will achieve maximum expansion. It's wonderful!!" —D. Gilles
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
26. A cute Shark Tank-famous thermal phone case to keep your phone from overheating as you enjoy beach time. This insulated case can reflect more than 90% of the heat from the sun. Plus, it is sink-proof, so it'll keep your phone on the surface of your hotel's pool.
27. A chic, gold-colored Kitsch hair claw clip so you don't have to live with sweat gluing your hair to your neck and making you even hotter. Just grab this stylish clip and put your hair up. Now, you're ready to tackle the day.
Promising review: "This is the best hair claw I've ever bought! Super sturdy and strong; it even held all my thick hair up! Looks exactly like the image and is super cute!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a silver color).
28. A Color Wow anti-frizz spray that'll help combat humidity by repelling moisture. This lightweight formula also doubles as a heat protectant. Just blow-dry to activate!
Results should last through 3–4 shampoos!
Promising review: "I really suffer in the humidity of summer. My hair turns frizzy and wavy, but not a cute wavy. If I try to straighten my hair and then go outside, it looks like I have done nothing. If I try to curl my hair, it looks like a rat's nest after 30 minutes. So I decided to do some research and found this product being mentioned over and over. It seemed simple enough to use, so I bought it. I used it all last summer and I have started using it this spring. This product really is the best at fighting humidity. The barrier it creates on the hair really does resist the moisture and keeps styled hair looking good for days! And it holds up after a few washes as promised." —krisvan
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).
29. A Yonanas soft serve maker to turn any frozen fruit into a delicious dessert in a matter of minutes, which is especially awesome if you have dietary restrictions that prevent you from buying cold treats at the store. And every part of this gadget is dishwasher-safe, so cleanup will be a breeze.
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
30. And a set of four super cute dinosaur ice pop molds for making your own ice pops out of fruit purée, yogurt, or juice! Because they're made from silicone, they're easy to use and clean.
Promising review: "These molds worked perfectly! I filled them with puréed berries and they took the shape of the mold excellently. It was very easy to peel off the silicone mold, so the ice pop did not lose any shape or detail. I rinsed the mold with hot water and tossed it in the top rack of the dishwasher to wash." —Finest018
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in six other styles).
31. A windproof beach tent so you don't have to lay directly under the sun when all you want is to feel a cool breeze and hear the waves crash down. This spacious tent offers UPF 50+ protection, meaning the material can block 98% of harmful UV rays!
Promising review: "What an amazing product! I needed this to go to the beach on a hot day (almost 100 degrees) for some shade. It is easy to put it up. On that hot day, it kept us from burning under the sun for four hours. We opened the windows for ventilation, and it worked fine." —Georgina
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
32. An insulated pet bowl designed to keep water colder for longer, which means your pet will stay hydrated and cooler for longer, too. It also features an anti-skid grip bottom, so no more slipping, sliding, and spilling.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this purchase. I'm in Texas with extreme heat. My Great Dane needs to drink plenty of water, but I have to replace it throughout the day with cooler water as the water gets hot from the sun's rays streaming through the patio doors. This bowl is very well made. It doesn't tip over, and when I fill it with cold water, it stays cold for hours. It is less work for me, and my Dane stays hydrated. I highly recommend." —JK Crawford
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and lots of colors).
33. And a cool automatic water fountain that'll entice your furry friends to stay hydrated by keeping their water in constant circulation. Now we just have to get *you* to drink more water...
