38 'Gross' Products On Amazon You'll Totally Love

Amazon

Buffing away calluses, examining your used pore strips, getting rid of rogue hair globs in your shower drain ... For some people, "gross" is synonymous with "super satisfying," and if you're one of said people, have I got a shopping category for you: "gross" products on Amazon with shockingly high reviews. There are literally thousands of them, and after reading through some buyer feedback, you'll realize rather quickly that you're not alone; the rest of the world enjoys those things, too.

When it comes to nasty but necessary items, the internet is the place to go ham. Not only can you research hundreds of options side by side, but your pick gets sent straight to your house in a discreet brown box — and you don't even have to make awkward eye-contact with a cashier. (Hey, it's all natural and you're not alone, but if you get embarrassed about bodily fluids and foot-related stuff, Amazon is definitely the way to go.)

So go ahead — check out these unique products so you can make the most out of your gross but satisfying habits. The rest of the internet is right behind you, and trust me, none of us are judging.

1

This Bacteria-Resistant Mop For Your Toilet

"Sanitary" doesn't have to mean "scratchy bristles." This Fuller toilet swab is made from a synthetic yarn that's soft like a mop, but still dries quickly and resists the growth of bacteria. As a result, it reaches easily under the rim, absorbs and evenly-distributes cleaner, and rubs away stains without scratching the porcelain. It also comes with a plastic cup so you can wring out the excess moisture without having to touch it.

2

These Patches That Suck All The 'Gross' Stuff Out Of A Pimple

Honestly, I don't think I could go back to life without hydrocolloid pimple patches. These tiny, translucent circles stick on over a pimple and suck all the pus and oil out.

By morning, reviewers say the spot looks smaller, less inflamed, and well on its way to healing.

3

A Honey-Based Nostril Swab To Tackle Germs And Irritation

Whether you're already sick or you're trying to prevent it in the first place, this Cold Bee Gone nasal swab is a brilliant thing to have in your medicine cabinet.

"My cold never fully manifested," says one reviewer. "I'm convinced this product works."

4

Some Eco-Friendly Pantyliners That You Can Wash And Reuse

Traditional period products can impact the environment in some scary ways, but these Hesta pantyliners keep both you and the earth in mind.

Reviewers love them because they don't leak or move around in your underwear, and they're surprisingly "easy to wash."

5

Some Drops That Soften Earwax So You Can Remove It

These ear wax drops are made from some pretty surprising ingredients (namely skullcap, rhubarb, and honeysuckle), but according to buyers, they "work like a charm." They're also gentle and create a foamy consistency that removes blockages and eases itching without irritation. "If I showed you what came out of both my ears you wouldn’t believe it," one reviewer says.

6

This Blotting Paper For A Complexion-Refresher During The Day

Rather than washing your face and starting over after work or the gym, Maiko blotting paper makes it easy to refresh your makeup throughout the day. Each sheet is made from absorbent hemp paper, so it soaks up excess oil without disrupting your foundation. They're also super affordable and come in a convenient, travel-friendly pouch — no wonder reviewers are asking, "How can anyone live without oil blotting paper?"

7

This Super Popular Clipper That's Made Specifically For Ingrown Toenails

No wonder people are calling them "a game changer," and "by far the best [they've] owned in 35 years of adulthood."

A Rounded, Pain-Free Hair Trimmer For Your Nose & Ears

Until now, we had two options: Endure the pain of plucking or chance a cut while trying to get in there with a razor. No longer. This two-in-one trimmer has a rounded rotary blade that reaches into your nostrils to cut hair without any pain whatsoever. It's also rechargeable, sanitary, and has a built-in LED light so you can actually see what you're doing — not to mention a second interchangeable blade that's flat for sideburns, chin, or arms.

9

These Satisfying Squishy Toys To Relieve Stress Or Anxiety

When you squeeze them, the balls inside these Kelz Kidz squishy toys pop through the mesh covering and change color. Reviewers call them "super addictive" and "disgustingly satisfying."

10

This Under-Eye Cream Made From Non-Greasy Goat's Milk

Your under-eye cream should be moisturized — but if you're using a cream made with oils and heavy butters, that grease sticks around for quite a while. Reviewers "love" this goat's milk eye cream because it provides nourishment and hydration, but it also soaks into skin to leave it softer, firmer, and brighter.

11

This Fluffy, Washable Cleaning Tool That Grabs Onto Dust & Cobwebs

Thanks to its 48-inch extendable handle, the Sunroom cobweb duster can reach fan blades, light fixtures, and those corners way up by the ceiling.

A Peptide-Rich Serum That's Made From Placenta

"I've been suffering from flaky dry skin lately and nothing has been helping, no matter how much moisturizer I slather on," says one reviewer — but the Mizon Placenta 45 Ampoule is "seriously like magic." Yes, it's made using actual hydrolyzed placental extract, but that's why it nourishes with amino acids and minerals to leave skin "silky smooth and plump" instead of greasy.

14

This Effortless, Rechargeable Tool That Buffs Away Callouses

The motor is extremely powerful, the crystal roller is extra coarse, and the nickel-hydride battery can be recharged hundreds of times.

This tool has nearly 2,000 reviews because it softens and removes hard callouses using minimal effort on your part.

15

A Versatile Plunger That Works On Basically Any Clogged Drain

19

A Double-Sided Pumice Stone Tool That's Ergonomically Designed

On one side, you get a traditional pumice texture to scrub and exfoliate callouses, and on the other, there are non-slip grooves used to polish skin. Whichever you choose, the Gilden Tree pumice stone is ergonomic, well-crafted, and "absolutely the best," reviewers say. It's made from kiln-fired clay, so it won't wear away or harbor mildew, either.

20

These Bra Liners That Absorb Excess Under-Boob Sweat

"I don't know how I lived without this," buyers are saying about Belly Bandit bra liners. These ultra-soft, absorbent pieces of fabric are made from 92 percent bamboo viscose and 8 percent spandex.

They're also washable, so you can reuse them over and over again.

In addition to the angled bristles, this tool also has a built-in pumice stone, a no-slip grip, and hanging hook so it dries quickly and without mildew. "This one is outstanding," says one reviewer who's been underwhelmed by other brands. "It doesn't flex like a cheaply made brush. It's long enough. Bristles are stiff, but not too stiff, to really clean the toe nails. The angle of the [pumice stone] is right-on."

24

This Hygiene Tool You "Never Knew You Needed"

Buyers say they didn't know they needed these Orabrush tongue cleaners, but now, they'll "never use any other" tool again.

It's also a great option for those whose teeth are too sensitive for traditional whitening kits.

27

This Ridiculously Popular Drain Plug That Catches "Every Hair"

I don't think anyone loves cleaning hair out of the shower plug — but it's way better than snaking it out of the drain.
