54 Bizarre Grooming & Bathroom Products That Have Tons Of 5-Star Reviews On Amazon

Amazon

It takes a lot of work to be a human. No, I'm not talking about getting along with your parents or finding a life philosophy that works for you — I'm talking about the absolute basics: grooming, hygiene, and generally staying your preferred version of clean. (Think about it: just taking a shower requires a fair bit of time and effort, what with all that getting wet and scrubbing and shampooing and conditioning.) And since this aspect of being human takes so much energy, I'm in favor of anything that makes it more fun — like these grooming and bathroom products on Amazon.

Okay, so all these products are a little bit bizarre — which is what makes them so much fun. For example, there's an LED light you shine in your mouth to help whiten your teeth. There's a shampoo that uses exotic tree oils to fight dandruff. There's even a combination toilet paper roll holder and smart tablet holder. (Say what?)

And just because these products are fun doesn't mean they don't work. In fact, all these products come backed with the approval of thousands of Amazon reviewers, so you can rest assured that the work you're putting into being a human will pay off.

1

An LED Light That Accelerates Teeth Whitening

Use this teeth whitening accelerator light to get professional grade whitening at home. When used in conjunction with AuraGlow gel, the whitening light works to remove stains and brighten pearly whites up to five times faster. Users say it fits comfortably in the mouth, but a built-in timer will let you know when it's time to take it out. This reviewer says it will give you "immediate and dramatic results," and another says it's "a must-have for anyone who wants bright white teeth fast!"

2

This Solution That Prevents Razor Bumps And Ingrown Hair

Razor bumps, irritated skin, and ingrown hairs are all part of the joy of unwanted hair removal. To help prevent any of those not-so-pleasant side effects, apply a thin layer of this ingrown hair solution before and after removing unwanted hair — it works with most hair removal methods, including shaving, waxing, electrolysis, and laser hair removal. Already have an ingrown hair? Apply the solution to help clear skin and bring the hair to the surface.

3

A Gadget That Effortlessly Removes Stray Eyebrow Hairs

Some days you don't mind keeping your eyebrows natural, and some days you want to shape them a little. Use this eyebrow trimmer in between waxing or threading sessions to remove any unwanted eyebrow hair above, below, or in between the brows. The battery-operated trimmer features an 18-karat gold-plated head that — when moved in small, circular motions — removes stray hairs with ease.

4

This Tea Tree Cleanser That Soothes Sensitive Eyes

Soothe red, itchy, and irritated eyes with this eyelid cleanser. The foaming cleanser uses 100 percent natural ingredients, but the star player here is tea tree oil — a naturally anti-microbial ingredient that fights inflammation caused by bacteria and demodex mites. (I know — it's unpleasant to think of mites on your eyelashes, but they're there.) The cleanser also washes away makeup, dirt, and allergens, leaving you with brighter, clearer eyes.

5

A Waterproof Shower Speaker So You Can Jam Out While You Lather Up

When I say this shower speaker is "waterproof", I'm not messing around. The speaker can be submerged in up to three feet of water for up to 30 minutes... and still work when you're done. The speaker has a strong suction cup that can be attached to the wall, but it can also float on the water (!) when you're taking a bath. Connect it to your phone via Bluetooth to stream your favorite playlist, or listen to the latest traffic report on the radio. A built-in mic even lets you answer calls.

6

This Foolproof Automatic Curling Iron

This automatic curling iron is a game-changer for those of us that don't have a lot of styling prowess. Just clamp a section of hair halfway up the hair shaft and press the button — rotating plates will draw hair into the chamber, where it then gets curled. The curler has two heat settings and three timer settings, so you can choose between loose waves or tight curls. Tourmaline ceramic plates reduce heat damage, prevent frizz, and add shine.

7

An All-Natural Shampoo Bar That Fights Dandruff

Skip the stuff that strips down your hair — and try this eco-friendly shampoo bar the next time you deal with dandruff. The bar uses oils from neem and karanja trees (which grow in India) to combat flakiness. Kiwifruit, calendula, oats, and coconut round out the formula, adding nourishment and hydration to dry scalps. And although the bar looks small, it's actually equivalent to three bottles of shampoo. Try other Ethique shampoo bars to heal damaged hair and fight off frizz, too.

8

A Bamboo Toilet Squatting Stool

By now, you probably know that squatting can help facilitate better... going. But why not do it in style with this luxury toilet stool? Made from 100 percent solid bamboo, this stool has a more sophisticated aesthetic than the plastic versions. There's even a built-in foot massage roller, because... why not?? The stool height is adjustable between 7 inches and 9 inches.

9

These Charcoal Pads That Neutralize Unpleasant Body Odors

Having a burrito for lunch can be problematic for the people who have to spend time with you after you have that burrito. I mean, it's totally natural — but if you don't want people to smell it, now you don't have to! For those days, use these gas neutralizers pads. Each one is made with activated charcoal, which does wonders to neutralize all sorts of unpleasant odors. The pads adhere easily to the inside of your clothes and are covered in soft fabric, so they're comfortable to wear.

10

This Playful Pineapple Toothbrush Holder

Conjure up piña coladas and tropical beach vacations with this pineapple toothbrush holder.

11

A Toilet Paper Holder That's Also A Tablet Stand

Yep — this combination toilet paper and tablet holder is a thing that actually exists. The chrome holder features a 12-inch adjustable gooseneck that holds your tablet in place so you can catch up on the latest episode of your favorite show, and a stable, heavyweight base ensures that the whole thing doesn't tip over when you tear off a few sheets of toilet paper.

12

This Powder That Helps Fight Friction

This anti-friction powder absorbs moisture and alleviates skin irritation caused by rubbing and chafing. The silky-smooth formula combines cornstarch and calamine for extra soothing relief. This reviewer writes: "I love this product!! I sweat in the summer but especially when wearing dresses and skirts. I was looking for something to keep me dry and this does the trick." Apply a little of this between the thighs, under your bra strap, or anywhere else you experience uncomfortable friction.

13

A Shield To Protect Your Toothbrush from Germs

Your bathroom is home to all sorts of germs, and they're bound to land on your toothbrush sometime.

14

An Extendable Handle For Your Razor So You Can Shave Hard-To-Reach Places

A rotating head makes it easy to maneuver, and two universal attachments fit both large and small razors.

15

This Satisfying Peel-Off Mask That Gets Rid Of Blackheads

This peel-off mask looks downright weird, but it just might be your skin's new best friend.

The mount has adjustable sliders that you can move up and down to target both your upper and lower back.

The shower head can be removed from the bracket for handheld showering, or just keep it on the bracket so you can shampoo with both hands.

20

But you can use this foot scrubber to cleanse, exfoliate, and massage your feet — all without bending over.

The battery-powered massager features a handle, so it won't slip out of your hand no matter how soapy you get.

24

This One-Of-A-Kind Hair Catcher

Keep drains free and clear with this award-winning hair catcher. Shaped like a mushroom, the catcher traps hair and winds it around a cylinder so you can remove it later. The holes in the cylinder ensure that water is able to flow through freely, so you won't be standing in an inch of water while you suds up.

25

An Ultra-Absorbent Microfiber Towel

Not only is this microfiber towel softer than your standard terrycloth towel, it's also much more absorbent. The tightly-woven fabric draws water away from skin, leaving it drier, faster. It also dries quickly between uses. The towel is super thin, so it saves tons of space in your suitcase or linen closet.

These babies are incredibly exfoliating, lather up quickly and are so easy to use, especially on the back areas!"

Himalayan pink salt has a whole host of benefits: it's known to remove toxins, stimulate circulation, lower blood pressure, induce feelings of calm, and remineralize the body with essential trace minerals. In other words, this Himalayan salt scrub does a whole lot more than just exfoliate your skin. (Although it does that, too.) Worried that putting salt on your skin will dehydrate it?
