Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can't get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts, which feature an adjustable drawstring waist and, very conveniently, pockets. They're made from a soft cotton blend (the black and navy options are 100% cotton!).
Reviewers of all ages have been singing their praises. One satisfied shopper even called them "unicorn shorts." Even better? They're almost as cheap as they were on Black Friday.
This ridiculously comfortable bra really does offer support for up to 18 hours, fans say.
Ready to finally trade your fraying wired earbuds for a sleek pair of Apple AirPods? These second-gen top-sellers have hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings for a reason — well, multiple reasons: clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and the fact that you won't find yourself tangled up in cords if you accidentally fall asleep with them in. Apple is one of those brands that doesn't really need to have sales since their products are so in demand. That said, we'll take $49 off when we can!
"I've had a real problem with finding comfortable earbuds and for years have stuck to the one [pair of] corded earbuds that were comfortable and didn't fall out," wrote one Apple convert. "I thought it was finally time to try these as I transitioned to only having a cell phone. I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The sound quality is good, and the charge lasts a long time. I'm a believer!"
Prime members can snag this bestselling phone holder at an all-time low — a jaw-dropping 73% off. It's a cinch to install on your dashboard, windshield or vent with a three-layer gel and locking mechanism that won't leave a mark on your car. A 360-degree ball joint and extendable telescopic arm allow you to pivot it as needed. The holder adjusts to fit nearly every kind of phone.
"It has exceeded all of my expectations," said a happy customer. "I used the AC vent mount and it is very sturdy and remains intact while driving. The adjustable arms firmly hold my phone, even during bumpy roads or sudden stops. It is easily adjustable and super easy to install, so I was able to rotate it to get the perfect angle for my needs."
