61 Freaky Things You Can Buy On Amazon

by Alida Nugent
Amazon

There are very few universal truths in life, but there's definitely one we can all agree on: Everybody enjoys a good surprise now and then. For me, nothing's more of a surprise than the freaky products on Amazon. The sweet sound of someone asking "Hey, what the heck is this?" while quizzically picking up my brand new snail mucin face mask is music to my ears. That's a snail mask, and it's absolutely great for your skin.

Don't be alarmed though — while all of these products can definitely qualify as freaky (the charcoal pads that filter out your farts come to mind), they're also genuinely useful. Who can resist a silicone trivet shaped like the chalk outline at a crime scene, or even the metal meat claws that are great for shredding meat (but even better for pretending to be Wolverine)? And while I can't say for certain whether or not I'm in dire need of an adult dog butt coloring book, I also can't say I'm slightly jealous of anyone who snags one.

So with so many freaky products on Amazon that you need to see to believe, what are we waiting for — there's a skin-softening mask for your bum that's calling your name.

01
This Hydrating Foil Face Mask

The Skin Republic foil face mask contours to the shape of your face, which also helps the serum to absorb quicker into your skin — while also making you look like the tin man. The hyaluronic acid in this mask helps to bring back moisture in seriously dehydrated skin, and can leave you glowing.

02
A Therapeutic Ball That Helps Improve Blood Circulation

Unlike traditional massage balls, the Applicators Lyapko acupuncture ball has hundreds of small spikes all over it — ones that won't damage your skin, of course — that help to increase blood circulation while relieving soreness and pain. It even claims to boost mood and help with your energy, and it's great for use on both your hands as well as your feet.

03
The Stress-Relieving Putty That's Also Magnetic

Not only is squishing it between your hands great for relieving stress, but the Nicpro slime putty is also magnetic, which means you can manipulate it with a variety of magnets for added fun. You can bounce, stretch, tear, shape, and shatter this putty as a way to kill time or simply fidget — and it's made from silicone grease, so it won't dry out or crumble over time.

04
A Tool That Makes It Easy To Dislodge Stubborn Earwax

Cleaning your ears with cotton swabs can actually cause the wax to clog, making your ear even worse — so try using The Ear Doctors wax remover tool instead. This odd gadget makes it easy to irrigate your ear canal to get those hard-to-reach spots that swabs can't reach (and you're not supposed to use those anyway). Reviewers love that it comes with a handy towel to clean up any spills.

05
The Oven Mitts Shaped Like Fun Bear Paws

If you can't bear to burn your hands when handling hot pans, grab yourself a pair of the Fred & Friends bear oven mitts. These mitts are made from insulated, breathable cotton and heat-resistant silicone that keep your hands safe from high temperatures, and one Amazon reviewer noted a hidden perk: "It forces the less-helpful people in my house to pull things from the oven, as then they can wear the bear mitts to do so!"

06
The Pasta Server Set Made From Durable Scratch-Free Nylon

Metal utensils can wind up scratching your cookware, but the Octopus Kitchenware pasta server set is made from durable nylon that won't scratch your pots and pans — and of course, they're weirdly adorable. The set comes with a noodle scoop, sauce ladle, as well as a serving spoon, and the feet all have suction cups underneath them so that you can easily stand them upright while you cook.

07
A Face Pudding Made With Activated Black Bamboo Charcoal

The activated black bamboo charcoal in this Boscia charcoal pore pudding helps to absorb toxins and dirt from your pores — but the added binchotan white charcoal in helps to minimize their appearance and balance your skin's hydration levels. It only takes 20 minutes to reap the full benefits of this mask, and it's also safe for people with sensitive skin.

08
The Tool That Makes It Easy To Massage Your Neck And Back

It can be hard to reach sore spots on your neck and back, so try using the Empower back and neck massager tool instead. This lightweight and portable tool relieves soreness and stiffness in your muscles as you apply pressure by pulling on the handle, and the massage ball handle can also be used to directly target knots.

09
A Glove That Makes It Easy To Brush Away Excess Pet Fur

With over 250 soft rubber tips that latch onto and pull away excess hair, the Bonve pet grooming glove makes it easy to brush away excess pet fur — and even massages your pet in the process.

Made from food-grade silicone that's non-slip and BPA-free, the PELEG DESIGN trivet mat is shaped like a chalk outline (featured in every crime show, of course) and is heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Since it's made from silicone, this trivet won't absorb any unwanted odors, mildew, or stains.

11
The Claws That Make It Easy To Shred And Serve Meat

12
A Wine Bottle Stopper Shaped Like A Fun Rubber Chicken

Made from food-grade silicone, the Fred & Friends wine bottle stopper can be squeezed to fit into any bottle, regardless of whether it's wine, beer, or a soda.

14
A Plunger That Can Power Through Practically Any Clog

When traditional plungers fail to work, try using the ToiletShroom plunger to bust through any stubborn clogs. This plunger has a flexible design that allows you to push through all the gunk, and the stainless steel construction is resistant to rust. You can also use this plunger as a squeegee to clean the inside rim of your toilet bowl, and each order also comes with a caddy holder for added convenience.

15
The Tool That Helps Prevent Sore, Tired Feet

For a deep and thorough clean, the Bath Blossom foot scrubber brush has multiple suction cups attached to the bottom that secure it to the bottom of your tub.

18
A Tool That Lets You Humanely Capture And Release Insects

This tool works on spiders, roaches, scorpions, crickets, wasps, and more — plus, the grabber at the end keeps you and the insect safe.

19
The Gel Mask That Helps Reduce Swollen, Puffy Eyes

Not only can you combat dark circles and swollen, puffy eyes — but the Sofida gel face mask is also a great way to relieve pain from migraines and headaches.

There are no additives, preservatives, or synthetic colors in this — and helps with gut health, gives you energy, and helps prevent colds. As always, talk to your doctor before starting new supplements.

21

22
A Hygiene Kit That Helps You Remove Stubborn Plaque And Tartar

When regular brushing won't do the trick, try using the Dental Duty oral hygiene kit to get rid of any stubborn plaque or tartar. Great for dental professionals and novices alike (although be careful, please!), these tools are made from surgical-grade stainless steel that won't rust over time, and each order comes with four: one dentist mirror, dental scaler, tartar/plaque scraper, and one dental toothpick (which gets rid of whatever's stuck between your teeth).

The serrated edge also makes it easy to slice bread as well as butter, and one Amazon reviewer noted that when using this knife, "spreading cold butter is no longer a problem."

24
A Head Massager That Vibrates To Improve Blood Circulation

Why pay for an expensive professional massage when you can just use the Kimkoo handheld head massager right in the comfort of your own home?

25

30
A Device That Makes It Easy To Strip Corn From The Cob
