Blog: 38 “Gross” Products On Amazon With Shockingly High Reviews – Bustle

There are few combinations I appreciate more than practicality and wit. Shittens are aptly-named disposable wipes that fit over your entire hand for protection and control. They’re also pre-moistened with a cleansing formula that reviewers say is okay for sensitive skin. “I know it’s a gag gift, but I for one am grateful and a return customer,” one raves.

If you (or someone you know) feels extreme satisfaction from popping pimples, then this gross but well-reviewed game will be right up your alley. Pimple Pete has players pop blemishes one at a time, but if his face moves too much, you might irritate the “mega-zit” on his nose. “Bought this for my sister as a gag gift,” says one reviewer, but it ended up being surprisingly “fun to play.”

With a nozzle guard to keep things sanitary, pressure control knobs for personalized water flow, and an easy-to-install design that works on any standard toilet, the Luxe Bidet Neo 110 is a luxurious way to keep your butt extra clean. “I cannot believe I went so long without this,” says one reviewer. “You feel so clean, and you save so much money on toilet paper.”

Thanks to its four interchangeable heads and strong, rechargeable suction mechanism, the VOYOR vacuum sucks out the oil, dirt, and other stuff that’s clogging your pores. It’s great for blackheads, exfoliation, and even whiteheads, according to reviewers — and since you can see all the gunk it’s collected, buyers say it’s “so satisfying.”

If you get ingrown toenails, reviewers say these special tools work “better than [they] ever expected.” They’re double-sided so you can lift, clean, file, and move ingrown nails out of the way — and they’re made from stainless steel, so they’re both durable and easy to sanitize.

When it comes to cleaning your keyboard, vents, fan, controllers, or other electronics, HomeDoReMi cleaner is surprisingly effective. Thanks to its goo-like consistency, this stuff picks up dirt, dust, and germs without damaging your devices. It’s also reusable and comes in a pack of four, so reviewers “expect it will last a long time.”

For those who do, grooming nose (or ear) hair has never been so easy and painless. The ToiletTree trimmer has a rounded, steel-covered blade that reaches into nostrils to clip long, visible hairs. It’s also waterproof, battery-operated, and is “so much better” than other brands reviewers have tried — even the high-end ones.

Before you count this one out entirely, you should know that reviewers have called the Seoul Ceuticals snail cream, “a life-saver” and the “best moisturizer [they’ve ever] tried.” It’s made from 97 percent snail mucin extract, which deeply hydrates and heals dry skin, but also absorbs quickly so you don’t have to worry about a greasy, tacky residue.

“Sure beats hiring a plumber,” one reviewer says about the FlexiSnake, and hundreds of others agree.

If you ever wished you could shed your skin like a snake, now’s your chance. Apply these serum-soaked booties, keep them on for an hour and a half, and then soak your feet.

Instead of pushing the wax in deeper, like Q-tips, these ear tools help you grab and clear obstructions in the ear canal. They’re made from rounded, polished stainless steel, so they’re gentle on skin and easy to sanitize — and even a physician says that the “quality is outstanding despite its low price.”

At first, jet-black toothpaste can be a little off-putting, but reviewers swear that their teeth have gotten “a shade whiter” in just a few days. FineVine toothpaste uses coconut oil and activated charcoal to fight bacteria and absorb stains on the surface of teeth. It’s also totally natural, vegan-friendly, and infused with real essential oils for freshness.

With an extremely strong grip, precision-aligned surgical steel tips, and the ability to grab even the shortest hairs, it’s no wonder these Majestic Bombay tweezers have over 3,000 reviews. “Any place where I pluck hairs, I eventually end up with ingrown hair issues,” says one reviewer. “These tweezers let me handle all thicknesses of hair with minimal damage to the skin… No other tweezers do as good a job.”

Place these air purifying bags in your trunk, closet, bathroom, laundry room, or stuffy basement, and they’ll create a fresh, odor-free environment.
