Pull Yourself Together: Our Favorite Personal Hygiene Products

Having hair is impossible. If you don't wash it, you're a stinky, oily mess. But if you do wash it, you're faced with the task of drying and styling it, lest you look like an unkempt shrub. Dyson's bladeless hair dryer was years and millions of dollars in the making, and for the exasperated, achy-armed hair-doers of the world, it was worth the wait. It's light, small, quiet, and won't burn your neck. It cuts your drying time in half, has a tangle-free cord, and, because it's bladeless, it won't snarl any stray strands. It's everything you ever wanted, unless what you want is a completely bald head.

Tracking your period is helpful for a number of reasons. Doctors often want to know about it, as it can be a bellwether of your general health. It's good information to have when packing for a trip, or, you know, if you want to have a kid (some also use period tracking information to prevent kids, but we do not recommend that). Of all the period-tracking apps we've used, Clue is one of the easiest and least condescendingly-pink. Clue tracks an astonishing number of variables, like basal body temperature and different medications, and also gives you the option of sharing the data with any interested parties.

Nokia completed its acquisition of Withings last year, reentering the consumer products' space with the French company's array of beautiful, functional smart home and wearable products. We love the smartwatch and the Thermo is in much the same mold. You touch it to your temple, push the button, and check the display on your smartphone. You never have to worry about sticking anything cold and unpleasant up an infant's bum, or in a toddler's armpit, ever again.

Speaking of bums: We'll trust you if you say you're doing just fine without a bidet. That said, having one can make your life, and your tushy, immeasurably better and fresher. Toto's Washlets are the best around, and the C200's easy-to-use control panel makes it simple to select from a number of different options for before, during, and after your bathroom experience. You can premist the bowl to make it easier to clean, pick from a range of temperatures for both the cleaning water and the seat, and deodorize afterward. If the C200 somehow falls short in your expectations, you can always pick up one of these instead.
