We’ve tested a lot of TikTok products, but they’re not all worthy of the top spot. That doesn’t mean they aren’t worth buying, though. Below, you’ll find a list of good TikTok products we like—with some caveats.

Stanley The Quencher H2.0 Flowstate 40-Ounce Tumbler for $45: The Stanley Quencher took TikTok by storm over the past few years. And it’s easy to see why—they’re big, come in adorable colors, keep your drinks cold, and fit in cup holders. The 2.0 version comes with a splash-resistant lid and ergonomic handle. But earlier this year, after a rise in claims, Stanley confirmed the tumblers contain lead. It’s used to seal the vacuum insulation at the bottom of the cups. You don’t have to worry about exposure unless you drop or damage the tumbler. But seeing as how other water bottle brands have moved away from using lead in their products, we feel Stanley should do the same. For more information, you can read our explainer here.

The Dyson Airstrait for $499: I used to dread styling my hair because it would take up to an hour. But the Airstrait (9/10, WIRED Recommends) has cut my hair routine in half—it now takes only 12 to 15 minutes, and my hair feels healthier. It has the same form factor as a standard flat iron, but instead of hot plates, it uses airflow to both dry and straighten your strands simultaneously. With one focused jet of air that moves downward, it delivers a natural, smooth finish. I’ll usually use it in wet mode to fully dry my hair and switch to dry mode to flatten any puffiness.

Famoplay Straw Cover (6 Pieces) for $5: Straws are great, but they can still attract bacteria and … other things. So, it’s important to keep them covered. These adorable covers are easy to put on and clean. There have been complaints online that it doesn’t fit on the straws of a lot of water bottles, but it fits my 30-oz and 40-oz Stanley cups perfectly.

Fruit Riot Frozen Candy (Sour Mango) for $7: Fruit Riot’s selection of frozen fruit fluctuates in stock, thanks to its virality. I (Brenda) sadly couldn’t my hands on the sour grapes, but I did find the frozen mango and pineapple at an ACME in my area. They’re basically like a fruit version of Warheads. Some pieces are way more sour than others, so it’s tough to eat too many at once (unless you have a high tolerance for sour candy). But they’re great to snack on for when you want to fill your candy craving while also sneaking in some fruit.

Therabreath Fresh Breath Oral Rinse for $8: Before seeing Therabreath all over my FYP, I (Brenda) always used Listerine. But I’d find myself rinsing with it throughout the day because it’d wear off quickly. This isn’t the case with Therabreath—regardless of what I eat, I feel like it lasts all day. I also love that it’s alcohol-free, so it doesn’t burn. It comes in a variety of options and flavors (including a kid’s version) but I prefer Icy Mint. However, it’s pricier than some other mouthwash brands, which might start to add up over time depending on how many people are using it in your household.

Revair Reverse-Air Dryer for $429: The videos of the RevAir sucking up wet hair to dry and smooth would be hard to believe if we hadn’t tested it ourselves. It’s easy to use—after a shower, put your damp hair into the vacuum-like wand for 60 to 90 seconds and it’ll dry and straighten it, cutting styling time in half (or more), depending on your hair type. WIRED product writer, Medea Giordano, still had to smooth out her poofs with a flat iron, but folks with finer hair will find this to be a one-and-done device. It’s expensive, but if you can afford it, it’s a great gift for someone who spends a lot of time doing their hair.

KVD Beauty Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Foundation Balm for $43: Redness and dark circles disappear with this foundation, leaving an even base to apply the rest of our makeup. It feels a little heavy at first, but it settles in nicely (a regular makeup sponge works great for application) It clung to dry patches but overall worked well on our skin. Unlike many popular foundations, it also has a good range of shades.

Balkwan Sunset Lamp for $21: This small gadget transforms the vibe of any room. It’s easy to set up, too. Place it on your floor, plug it in, and aim it toward a wall. It’ll create a halo-like effect with pops of rainbow colors that will make your space feel extra cozy. It comes with a short cord though—I (Brenda) had to plug it into a power strip to place it in the desired spot. It’s also very easy to accidentally knock over, so be careful where you place it.

Hatch Restore 2 for $149: The Hatch Restore 2 is a solid bedside companion. It went viral for its beautiful sunrise and sunset simulations, but it’s also one of our favorite sound machines and lamps–there are 18 colors to choose from and a large brightness scale. If you sign up for the $5-per-month membership, you get a large rotating library of meditation and sleep stories too. We wish more of those features were included without a membership, considering you’re already spending $200 on the device.

Lululemon Crossbody Bag for $38: You can wear Lululemon’s crossbody bag or a fanny pack. It’s super roomy inside too. I’ve easily packed in my wallet, keys, chapstick, travel-size lotion, and wads of receipts without causing it to burst at the seams. It’s been years since this bag went viral, but it’s still a solid option.

Simple Modern Water Bottle for $22: If you’re looking for a budget-friendly water bottle, we like this one from Simple Modern. It’s stainless steel, insulated, and has a straw lid. Our only qualm is that it’s not dishwasher safe, you’ll have to hand-wash it often. It also won’t keep your water cold for long.
