50 Clever Products That Have Suddenly Become Huge Hits On Amazon

Let’s be real: Not every product that launches to market is all it’s cracked up to be. In truth, many items either take off like crazy or fizzle out almost immediately. Then there are those unicorns that land right in the sweet spot; they don’t necessary catch the eye of the masses at the outset, but they steadily increase in popularity by word of mouth, and that’s the case with these clever products that have become Amazon hits.

Products that gain a following tend to be the ones that solve everyday problems. Take, for example, these temperature-regulating bed sheets (because you can always use fresh linens). They’re designed with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that helps keep you cool while you sleep, so you no longer have to worry about waking up drenched in a puddle of sweat. These sheets have you covered — literally.

And while you may want to indulge in a little self care every now and then, it can become pricey, especially when it comes to exfoliating brushes. Luckily, these affordable silicone facial scrubbers are equally as effective as their high-priced counterparts, working to slough away rough skin and remove blackheads and impurities, all while reducing redness that can come as a result of acne or irritation. They do all that for just $5. How could you not love them? Read on for more genius products that Amazon reviewers love.
