Trash: On the Cuff Wrist Sponges

|

Seriously guys? Really?

The creators of On the Cuff feel that they are solving a horrid problem that plagues so many of us when we wash our dishes, faces, and cars - water running down our arms. Dun dun DUN! I know, such a problem, right? Thank goodness they've come up with these sponge bracelets that you wear to catch those awful drops of water. And I'm so glad they're selling them for the bargain price of $7.99 per pair. Yes folks, you are only $8.00 away from a couple of sponge rings that will spare you the slight annoyance of water droplets on your forearms. Awesome! And totally worth it!

Whew. All that sarcasm wore me out.

Trash: Curling Iron Ear Cuffs

Holy smokes, these are hilarious.

I know there's a potential need for Curling Iron Ear Cuffs; I myself have burned the top of my ear with a curling iron before. But come on, these are ridiculous. Not EVERY little problem in life requires a silly little solution like this one. She looks like Shrek!

Plus, these look like they should cost maybe $1.00 per pair. But no, they're $5.00. Really? You might as well just put a pair of your socks over your ears and save that $5.00 for something much more useful and awesome like, oh I don't know, a Classic Game Pen, a couple of Farm Animal LED Keychains, or some ToastIt Toaster Bags from Vat19.

Treasure: OHSO Travel Toothbrush

If you're anything like me, when you go on a trip, your toothbrush gets tossed into a plastic baggie and you end up bringing along your full-sized tube of paste (or forgetting both altogether). It's not convenient, and it can be a little messy. There are those plastic travel tubes for your toothbrush, and travel-sized tubes of paste, but still. Can't we just have an all-in-one?

Yes, we can, and it's called the OHSO Travel Toothbrush. It looks like a pudgy pen, but remove the cap, and there's your brush. The bottom chamber fills with paste and with a turn of the knob dispenses the paste directly onto your brush. It's clean, it's neat, and it's compact, making it not only great for travel, but super easy to carry around every day in your purse or pocket.

Trash: Goatee Saver

OK, all I can see here is Hannibal Lecter and his equally disturbed adoring fan.

But actually, the intended purpose of the item on this guy's face is not to prevent him from feasting on other humans, but instead to keep him from screwing up his goatee and ultimately having to shave the whole thing off. Hence the name: GoateeSaver.

As a woman, I have no personal experience in this arena, so I really have no idea how hard it is to maintain a goatee. Some fellas with shaky hands may in fact find this product useful. It is expandable, so you can adjust it to fit your style of goatee. But as far as I can tell, the piece doesn't bend to conform to the curves of your face, so if you've got a wider goatee, I'm thinking there's going to be a big ol' gap between the GoateeSaver and your face and therefore room for error.

Ultimately, though, no matter how handy a gadget it may turn out to be, I just can't get over the look of this product. For a shaving helper that's a little less intimidating, check out Vat19's Fogless Shower Mirror.
