- I was applying my sunblock at the same time as I was trying to apply sunblock to my kids. I was not careful with the application technique, so I obviously missed spots, as seen in the photo. It works really well, as seen in the pale areas on my arms. The missed areas are the red areas and where my swimsuit was.
While this experience will make for some silly tan lines, the product itself works well if you are careful. I was in the water 20 minutes after application, so it works fast in my opinion. - Lucky3

Promising review:
- Purchased these for a music festival. I gave one to each of the girls I went with. They worked really well and kept us cool in the 100+ degree heat.
I ended up tying mine around my head, similar to a headband. It kept the sweat off my face and kept me cool! I thought I'd only use mine for the festival, but I've actually kept it to use in my garden as well. It's also helpful while mowing! - Kayla

Promising review:
- We love this product. Living in TX, it's hard to find something for her to wear and stay cool during the summer heat. She doesn't mind this bandana at all, and it keeps her cool when we go places during the summer.
Fits perfectly, stays on, keeps her cool, and is very affordable. - Shawna

Promising review:
- At first, I was almost convinced that this didn’t work. I put on 30 SPF before going outside and didn’t notice any change. Then, my friend put on 50 SPF, and the sticker was totally clear once we got into the sun! Mine faded a good bit, but clearly a lower SPF means less protection.
It was a great indicator of when we needed to reapply and how much protection we were actually getting! - Amazon Customer

Promising review:
- Nice little fan. I use it when I spin on my stationary bike. It has three levels on the fan and also three levels for a light on the fan. I would definitely buy it again.
I was also seeing people using them on the bikes at the gym. Easy to secure to the bike. - Barbie

Promising review:
- I was very skeptical, but these worked! I used them on a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. Several of the hikes were swarming with mosquitoes, flies, and bees. As soon as our family put them on our wrists, boom, no more mosquitoes!!!! Again, I was very skeptical and so pleasantly surprised!
They smell like citronella, so if you don’t like that smell, you likely will not like the smell of these. They didn’t bother me or my family. I have very small wrists, as does my son, and they fit us just fine. They did fit pretty loose on my son’s wrist, so he just put it on above his watch, and it stayed on just fine.
So, it fits all varying wrist sizes. And they are very stretchy. However, they will stretch out. Overall, I am very pleased with this product! - Amazon Customer
8. When it's so hot outside, your fluffy fella needs special care. This 2-in-1 grooming marvel combines a sleek comb and a built-in water tank to handle tangles and loose fur with a touch of hydration.

The bag's unique construction effectively works, while its soft texture provides a gentle touch, making the process pleasant.
Promising review:
- I really liked this. It works great, but I do wish a bit more product came out. It was expensive for a bag and some baby powder, but I would still definitely recommend it. - gsmith9867
10. If you're tired of those pesky flyaways and unruly strands (that seem to have a mind of their own), use this hair-finishing stick. It will smooth down those wild strands with a couple of swipes.
It doesn't leave a greasy residue, which is a big plus. Just apply it and enjoy a sleek, put-together look.
Promising review:
