Parents know that the sunscreen battle is a necessary evil. Whether they're at the pool or the beach, kids never want to pause their fun and games long enough to reapply when they need to. Getting them to apply it properly themselves is an even bigger challenge.
That's where our latest Amazon Prime Day deal comes in. During Amazon's two-day sales event from July 16 to 17, we've spotted the Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator — a tool that makes applying sunscreen easy and mess-free — on sale for the cheapest we've ever seen it this season for just $13.
To use, fill the container with the best sunscreen of your choice, shake the contents towards the roller ball and apply it to your body. The sponge ring will assist with rubbing in the lotion so you don't have to end up with greasy, sunscreen-coated hands.
It's become a cult hit among parents who say it's easy to toss into a beach bag or diaper bag when they're on-the-go.
Solar Buddies is an empty applicator that you can fill up with the sunscreen of your choice. Use the reusable and replaceable sponge to apply the sunscreen easily and mess-free. When you want to reuse it, just clean it out and use it again. It's that simple!
To use, simply fill the container with the best sunscreen of your choice, shake the contents towards the roller ball and apply it to your body. The sponge ring will assist with rubbing in the lotion so you don't have to end up with greasy, sunscreen-coated hands. Plus, no more waste from squeezing too much sunscreen on your hands! Perhaps best of all, it 100ml of sunscreen, so it's perfect for hand luggage and any upcoming beach vacations you have on the calendar.
When your sponge is looking a bit grubby, there's no need to replace the full tool. Instead, just replace the sponge applicator head, which is recyclable. Replace it with a fresh sponge and it's ready for the next season.
It's not hard to see why this tiny tool has a 4.4-star rating among more than 8,600 reviewers on Amazon. The easy application makes it a hit diaper bag essential among parents who say it's been game-changing for getting their little ones to wear sun protection.
"This has been a great add to our diaper bag," said one five-star reviewer. "We live in a state that gets a ton of sun and it’s great to have for days at the park or at the pool. The roller feature makes it easier and less annoying for our baby, as well as our older kid (9), when putting it on."
"Never been easier to apply sunscreen on your young kids or have them apply it themselves," said another five-star reviewer. "Prevents them from using too much and the sponge helps rub it all in. My kids think it’s fun to use and sunscreen isn’t a battle anymore."

Of course, it's not just good for using on kids and babies, several reviewers say it's helped them wear sunscreen more frequently because they avoid getting it on their hands.
"My wife and daughter are always after me to use sunscreen," said another enthusiastic reviewer. "I use it on the golf course where I don't want to use a spray or get my hands greasy."

This rechargeable electric candle lighter on Amazon is a smoke-free, odorless and windproof way of creating a flame — not to mention it's really satisfying to use! The lighter works by using "plasma flameless arc technology," which works by using targeted energy to light candles, stoves and more without harmful fuels and chemicals. And because it doesn't run on butane, there's no need to refill the lighter.
It's both Oprah's — and my — favorite travel jewelry organizer. In 2022 Oprah declared that this jewelry organizer: "Beautiful, functional and giftable!" It's less than 4 inches wide but has enough compartments to neatly hold a surprising amount of jewelry.
I've used mine for nearly two years, and it kept me organized when I was practically living out of a suitcase for six months while moving internationally. It holds many pairs of earrings, six rings and at least three necklaces.
Choose from jewel tones including deep red and emerald green or softer hues such as pale pink and orange.
We dubbed these our best overall PJs for women in our guide to women's pajamas because of their comfort, style and price point.
I, like more than 2,600 Amazon reviewers, have discovered that stylish and comfortable PJs dont have to cost a fortune. These ones are made of durable satin polyester with just a kiss of Spandex for comfort, but they look and feel like pricey silk. Perfect for the mother of the bride who wants something comfortable and easy to wear while she's getting her hair and makeup done the morning of the wedding.
Choose from an overwhelming 27 colors and prints — but for the mother of the bride we recommend something traditional, like the Champagne or Blush shade.
Whether you're a new parent doing midnight feedings or you hate holding up a book while trying to read in bed, this hands-free tablet stand holder is a useful gadget that'll allow anyone to watch their favorite show or read their current page-turner without needing to use both hands.
Designed with an extra strong clip and flexible long-arm gooseneck that can bend any which way, this device holder and stand can be used with a tablet, phone, Nintendo Switch, iPad, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Tabs and even a Kindle or your other preferred e-reader, though we recommend sticking to lighter weight devices for the best user experience.
Clip it to your kitchen counter and use it to make following recipes on your phone or tablet easier than ever. Make watching TV on your phone reading your Kindle in bed even more relaxing by clipping it to your headboard. Use it on a balcony or patio table to make reading outside feel extremely luxurious. Pair it with a clicker page-turner and your hands never have to leave the warmth of your bedding again.
Make more space in your closet with these vacuum storage bags. Use them to store spare pillows, blankets, comforters and more. Pack away winter coats during the off season, or keep your spring bedding stored away safely when you aren't using it. These ones come with a hand pump to vacuum out the air, though you can usually use your own vacuum hose attachment as well.
