If you're sick of waking up dripping and looking like you just ran a mile, grab this buttery soft, breathable, temperature-regulating bad boy.
Promising review: "The Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter is hands-down the most amazing blanket I have ever slept with! Everything this blanket promises, it delivers 100%, which is incredibly rare these days when so much online hype ends in disappointment.
At first, I wasn’t sure whether an ultra-thin blanket could keep me cozy while still keeping me cool, but it absolutely does! We live right on the Intracoastal in Miami, and the summer heat and humidity are intense.Because my wife can’t sleep with the noise of a dehumidifier, I used to wake up absolutely drenched in sweat. Not anymore! This blanket’s incredible moisture-wicking technology keeps me perfectly dry all night.I chose the gorgeous lavender color for our bedroom, and it is a total keeper. It’s unbelievably cool to the touch and an absolute must-purchase!" —Dr. Thomas Luke, Ph.D.

And if you happen to forget to apply before the chafing starts, you can use it to help relieve and soothe your skin.
Promising review: "This stuff is seriously miracle cream. I have very sensitive inner thighs and normally cannot walk 1/4 mile in the summertime without getting some kind of rash. This stuff has made it possible to comfortably wear shorts outside all day.
I have been using this stuff for a little over a year now, and it is the only thing out of countless chafe creams/sticks, powders, and deodorants that has actually made it possible for me to not have to wear pants or leggings in 90-degree heat because I chafe so badly.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who has very sensitive thighs and is tired of rashes from wearing shorts!" —Tanner Hess
Get it from Amazon for $7.47+ (available in multipacks).

Promising review: "Cannot recommend enough!!! If you suffer from excessive sweat as I do, this stuff is a lifesaver!! I've always had a problem with underarm sweat, and I've tried every kind of antiperspirant available, but nothing worked. I finally saw this on BuzzFeed and decided to give it a try. I can't believe I've suffered this long without this product. I showered at night, dabbed the wipe on, took another shower in the morning, and it's been almost three days now, and almost no sweat! It did itch a little, but nothing unbearable, and I can deal with that for the payoff!!!" —Kathy

Promising review: "As a marathon runner and ICU nurse who works 13-hour shifts. I really like this product and feel it works very well to prevent chafing. I also really like the stick's convenience and its consistency (not too sticky, not too hard, not too soft), which makes it easy to apply and last a long time. I have tried many different kinds of chafe sticks/balms, and this is my new favorite. Worth the price tag." —Daddy, Mama, Mila, & Baby Jake

Plus, it comes with a ~ no-sweat sleeve~ to avoid carrying a dripping-wet water bottle all day.
Promising review: "I love it. It helps me remember to drink more water. The markings on the side of the bottle really are helpful. Let's tell you how much you should be drinking by a certain time. I also love the color. Does not leak. Love that it has a sleeve to protect from sweating if you prefer your water very cold, as I do. Comes with a strap so you can carry it that way. Also comes with a small strainer to flavor your water with fruit. I am very happy with this purchase. I also recommend it as a purchase for others." —LaNette Anguiano

Promising review: "I honestly didn’t think a water bottle could make this much of a difference, but this has completely changed my daily water intake. I’m definitely drinking more water because the reminders actually work. If I’m falling behind on my hydration goal, my phone gives me a gentle chime, and if I don’t hear it or I’m away from my phone, the bottle itself lights up with a glowing ring that immediately catches my attention. It’s motivating without feeling annoying or overwhelming. The app is simple, clean, and very easy to use, and I really like being able to track my intake throughout the day and review my weekly and monthly progress. Pairing the bottle with Bluetooth was quick and painless, and the tracking has been very accurate for me. I was also impressed with the battery life — I went almost three weeks before needing to recharge it. On top of the smart features, the bottle itself feels high quality, and keeps my water cold for hours. I’ve tried many ways to remind myself to drink more water, and this is honestly the first thing that has consistently worked. Best invention since sliced bread. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with hydration." —Richard V Whaley
Get it from Amazon for $42.48+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).

Promising review: "Yes, yes, and more yes! I have maybe THE SWEATIEST head and hair on the planet. No product I have tried can bring my hair back after doing anything that makes me sweat (which, at my age, is everything). This product works. It literally absorbs sweat, dries it out of your hair, and has a really nice, gentle, non-perfumed smell. Follow the directions for sure, but it works! My sweaty head is saved!!! Also gives you some body back after the sweat takes it out of you." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes).
9. A Dove Clinical+ Care Antiperspirant Deodorant infused with 7% serums and moisturizers to keep your extra delicate skin feeling soft, smooth, and cared for.

Promising review: "The Dove Clinical+ Antiperspirant deserves nothing less than five stars. This product truly stands out in the crowded field of antiperspirants. Its long-lasting protection keeps me feeling fresh and confident all day, even during intense workouts and high-pressure situations.
One of the best features is its advanced formula that effectively combats sweat and odor without leaving any residue or irritation. The fragrance is subtle yet invigorating, providing an extra boost of freshness. It's clear that Dove has put a lot of thought and innovation into this product.
For anyone looking for a reliable, high-performance antiperspirant, the Dove Clinical+ formula is a must-try. It's a game changer that delivers on its promises and then some. Highly recommended!" —XLARRYBEARX

It's a little aloe, tea tree, and mint miracle.

Promising review: "I can’t say enough about this bath soap. It smells terrific, and when you’re done washing, you feel very clean. It helped clear up acne on my daughter's skin and also works on athletes' feet. It also speeds up the healing of the skin from chafing under the breasts and stomach, so if you sweat a lot, this is the product you want! I’m on my fifth bottle!" —AnnMarie Mason

Promising review: "Bought two of these fans for a trip to Disney World. We only brought very small bags for inside the parks, and so I wanted something that wouldn't die throughout the day but also didn't take up a ton of valuable snack space ;) These fans were perfect! They fold up, making it easy to tuck them away or hold them at different angles. They lasted ALL day with intermittent use. Let me tell you, this gal does not like being hot, and these things were a lifesaver! While they did sometimes run out of mist faster than I'd like (but at a fair rate due to the water compartment size), even just having the fan blowing on me helped me from feeling sick. The three speed options were amazing and helped save battery life. My whole family passed these around while standing in lines, and everyone liked them. Also, the mist is sooo fine and feels so good without soaking your face. Overall, really impressed and happy with our purchase! Excited to use them on future trips as well." —KC

Promising review: "I saw these recommended on a TikTok, and omg, was it worth buying them. You just add cold water, and it's like an ice pack without the burning of the ice. They worked great for cooling my arm after the COVID shot, too! Excited to use them all summer!" —Muirgen Neal

14. A set of two cooling pillows with super breathable, 100% cotton covers to make your bed feel like one in a 5-star hotel instead of a sauna from hell.

No need to try and sneak the ones from the hotel into your bag when ya have these bad boys.
Promising review: These Beckham Hotel Collection pillows are really comfortable and a great value. They come out fluffy and hold their shape well after a few nights of use. Not too firm and not too soft—kind of that perfect middle that works for different sleeping positions. They provide good support for the neck without feeling stiff. The material feels soft and breathable, so they stay cool through the night. After using them for a while, they still bounce back and don’t go flatten easily. Overall, a solid choice if you want comfortable, everyday pillows without spending a lot." —Jean Paul

No more nice, cool living room and blazing hot bedroom, which means a more balanced feel around your house *and* a lower energy bill.
It features a programmable LCD controller with a heating and cooling thermostat and automated fan speeds. You can also control it using your phone by downloading the app.
Promising review: "My home was generally too hot in the summer and a bit cooler than I liked in the winter. Now, with this product, the entire house is much more balanced — upstairs and downstairs. In the winter, after my HVAC system shuts off, the unit continues to run as long as the duct continues to put out heat. In the summer, the unit puts out cold air upstairs event though the HVAC system is off — making upstairs bedrooms very, very comfortable for an afternoon nap. Setup is not difficult. Best of all, my energy bill went down. I was concerned that it would go up since these units are plugged into a receptacle; but, the units appear to be 12 or 24 volt units (low amperage). Bottom line, an outstanding product that I feel is well worth the money I spent." —Sharon

The battery and charger are sold separately!
Promising review: "Do you need this? Not just yes, but HELL YES! The best baseball mom I've ever found!!! All-stars in East Texas is 100% humidity in 95-degree+ buttcrack sweating, looking like you ****** yourself kind of heat. 😫 It's miserable for the kids and parents. This fan was a lifesaver last weekend in the dugout — the boys loved it!! The fan is strong on high, but the turbo setting is hella strong. I was sitting on the outside of the dugout under a tent, and my family could still feel it.
I have the 56V battery from our lawnmower, and it lasted two games with the mister on. It is easy to move around — love the wheels on it!!

Also, the company is great to work with! Excellent customer service!

My sister grabbed one of these and said it was a night and day experience, so I gave it a shot last summer and HOLY. SHEET. This thing works. Not only is it soft and well-made, but it's breathable and keeps me nice and perfectly cool all night, year-round.

Promising reviews: "This is exactly what I was looking for. I agonized over which blowup pool to get because I didn’t want to spend money on something ****** that would just pop or be uncomfortable. The price of this is SO low compared to the value. It’s much deeper and bigger than I expected. I’m 5’8 and can very comfortably extend all the way across and float without hitting the sides. The seat is so comfortable, and I’m really glad we got a pool with a seat. The seat alone can easily fit three people. We had six adults in the pool the other day, and it did not feel crowded at all. We blew it up with an air mattress pump and got a cover for it. I’m pregnant and wanted somewhere to cool down and float comfortably during the summer. This will also be a great pool for kids! Extremely happy we went with this one. Highly recommend." —Morgan Barry
"I buy one of these every year because the price is so low. I set it on my deck, and it sits four adults very comfortably. My one friend is 6'6 and sits with legs fully stretched and never touches the other end. The water level is to his chest, and it's perfect for chilling out with friends. Highly recommended, however, caution as it is deep for little ones. Must stay and watch them." —Linda B
