PS Editors Share Their Shameless Go-To Products For Getting Through Summer
The internet is a wonderful place to confess things — deeply personal fears, weird fetishes, secrets that you wouldn't share with even your closest confidant. It's a space that you can contribute to with zero ramifications or the fear of being judged. I say all of this sarcastically, of course. The truth is that if there's anything scarier than being radically honest in real life, it's being radically honest online, where things are immortalized forever. (For more on that, check out Popsugar's Radical Honesty Issue.)
On the flip side, the internet does provide an outlet for purchasing all of those secret products that we may hate to love but actually use on the regular. Online shopping can remove the usual awkwardness that comes with purchasing niche products that — albeit weird or embarrassing — can truly make a big difference in our day-to-day lives. Tongue-scrapers, dermaplaning kits, cooling bra inserts, you name it — all of these quirky items can be bought through retailers like Amazon without any strange looks from disapproving cashiers.
In the spirit of honesty, we asked our editors to get really real and divulge perhaps their most taboo secret: aka the products they're not embarrassed to say that they use. These unique items are wide-ranging and designed to remedy a number of issues — from boob sweat and tummy aches to foot calluses and feelings of anxiety. Ahead, our editors speak honestly about the products they shamelessly love and why these picks are worth their weight in gold. Because we're not ashamed to talk about it.
