34 Smart Spring Products That Will Make Your Life Easier

Promising review: “I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions), and immediately after use, it stopped itching! Less than 24 hours later, the bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: It’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!” — Rebecca

Promising review: “I’m so happy I got this meter. It works great and is easy to use. I wish I had bought this a long time ago. Living in the Arizona desert, I tend to overwater some of my pots in the summer, eventually killing some plants. With this meter I can check all my potted plants and get an accurate reading of moisture and what nutrients are needed. I love it!!” — Grandma Susi

Promising review: “I have been using this for a few months so far, but it is holding up and doing what it was described to do. It is definitely worth the cost if you are looking for a backup for charging your phone and battery packs. I also love the feature of being able to fold it up and take it anywhere. I don’t go anywhere without it. Highly recommend.” — Amazon spender

Promising review: “Love these lights. I can charge my iPhone 5S from 14% to 100% in about an hour. The quality of light is a bright, warm flood and not the cool blue LED look. They are very lightweight and are replacing all my camping lanterns. They will not sit flat due to the inflation valves and USB port, so they do not provide great side light, but as an overhead flood, they are awesome.” — Kaztheatre

Promising review: “No more buying 24 packs for $4 from the store and then fussing with the packaging to get patches off the film. It’s convenient and easy to use. Plus, the patches work wonders! I will be purchasing again in the future for sure.” — Catlikethief

SunShader is a small business. Available in two sizes.

Promising review: “This truly blocks the sun and stays on strong and secure. It’s also lightweight and slim when folded up for easy transport. I have a MacBook Air, and it fits perfectly without any space for the sun to come in. Great product!” — HML

Shadey Attachments is a small business based in the UK. Available in seven colors.

Promising review: “I can honestly say I now can’t use my phone in the sun without it! It took a second to get going and to realize you have to point it at the sun to put your face in the shade. Literally the best thing ever for the sun.” — Harley Place

Promising review: “Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub, and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better but smells better, too! Highly recommended!” — Mickey D.

Available in women’s sizes M–XXL and three colors.

“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° 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

Promising review: “These grill lights are exactly what I needed! They light up the area so well. The magnets are strong, and the ability to direct the light where needed is great. The package they came in is perfect to store them in when not in use! I have recommended these to several people who also think they are great. I was worried they would be cheap and maybe not have a lot of magnetic hold to them, but they do!!” — LC

Promising review: “I stuck four of these across my windows where the bugs often try to get back out, and just a few days later, there’s more than two dozen of the annoyances stuck to the tape, and not in my face. They were easy to put in place, as you take the small thin tape off the back to put it on the window, then remove the liner that the bugs will get stuck to. They don’t smell at all.” — Rozalia

Available in four sizes and three colors.

Promising review:

“I used this as a ‘veranda’ in front of my tent in a sandy rock outcropping in heavy Wyoming wind. When sand was tracked onto the blanket, all I had to do was wave my hand or foot over the sand pile, and it fell right through the weaves of fabric, not to come back up. The benefits included not tracking sand into my tent, having a clean space to roll up my sleeping bag (without sand all over it), a sandless spot to lay our gear and organize, and a perfect un-sandy area to sit and chat with friends. I loved it. We camped on the sand in 40-mph swirling gusts of a stormy weekend. On my first campout in this location (without this blanket), a lot of sand covered my gear inside the tent. But with the camping mat, what an improvement!” — Alexandra B.

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 R

Promising review: “My children are fair-skinned and extremely easy to burn. Wearing sunscreen is not optional, but they still fight me every time. Using this product was so fast and easy they didn’t even complain!!” — Jeshleigh

Not only do you get the bottle but also three nozzles (two for adults and one for kids) and a 30-pack of nasal wash salt packs. Read more about nasal rinses and allergies at Mayo Clinic.

Promising review: “I love the design of this. Very practical and easy to use/clean. If you haven’t used a Neti pot before, the first time is a lot like getting dunked in a swimming pool. You have to learn to relax your nasal passage and become accustomed to the water flowing from one nostril into your sinuses and then out the other nostril. By your second attempt, this becomes easy. After a week of using this, I noticed my ear canals were clearer. The first use left my nose clean and clear. Seriously, if you are suffering from congestion/allergens, try this (or another Neti pot) out. It is simple logic. Flush your entire nasal passage and reduce allergens. Nothing fancy, just cleaning your pipes.” — New to this

This comes with stakes so you can secure it to the ground. Available in two styles.

Promising review: “This is one of those products where I see the commercial, and I’m like, ‘YEAH RIGHT!’ These inflatable chairs just seem too easy. You just spin in a circle with them, and suddenly, you have a magically inflated chair? Seems unlikely. But now that I’ve tried them, I can confirm that they’re (almost) that easy. It does take a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but pretty much anyone can figure it out in 5 to 10 minutes. Basically, it comes with two compartments that you need to fill with air by twirling in a tight circle. You switch compartments while spinning and then quickly roll it up before the air escapes. Once you master the technique, you’re in squishy, inflatable heaven.” — Bek O’Connell, BuzzFeed

Available in three shades.

: “Sun-kissed glow is right! Nothing but compliments the first time I tried it! I used two drops with my moisturizer, and it went on smoothly and washed off of my hands, leaving no streaks. I have already recommended it to several friends and family! I like that the ‘light’ drops don’t make my face look orange. Just enough that I can wash my face, and it doesn’t completely fade, and I can build from there each time I moisturize. I use two to four drops at a time, and it works great!” — LLHains
