Welcome back to Your Shopping Cart, where we break out the top ten products that you, devoted Strategist readers, bought in droves. Think of this as the tl;dr of the Strategist. If your like-minded brethren are buying these items, maybe youd like to, too.
After being bumped off the list last time around by some more giftable products, this dentist-beloved electric toothbrush returns for its sixth first-place finish. Its followed by a planner that experts call one of the best for getting organized in 2020 (another top pick from the same list also makes the list this week in eighth place). Our third-place finisher is a perennially popular pillow for side sleepers, and in fourth is a fancy lube that comes in a nightstand-friendly glass bottle. Next up are two products thatll help with soothing winter dryness: a lightweight moisturizer approved by dermatologists for all skin types in fifth, and a sweet-smelling (and very cheap) lip balm in sixth. A board book for toddlers takes seventh place and this lip balm from the Gen Zbeloved Glossier pops up in ninth. Finally, in tenth place, we have a sleek sex toy thats been dubbed the Everlane of vibrators.
1. Oral-B White Pro 1000 Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush (Previously: Off last list)
After a week off the list, this electric toothbrush (a favorite of dentists, Amazon reviewers, and, clearly, our readers, as it has made our list 14 times now, and was our overall best-selling product of 2019) is back. The pros like that it both rotates and oscillates (vibrates) to clean teeth and remove plaque. And one reviewer raves: This toothbrush leaves my teeth feeling like theyve been power-washed.
2. BestSelf Co. the Self Journal (Off last list)
This undated planner first hit our best-seller list around this time last year after experts recommended it as a top planner for 2019. The 2020 option got their vote again, and lots of our readers picked one up. Its divided into easily digestible, 90-day chunks which productivity pros say makes it easier to track your progress and includes guided prompts to get you started. Life coach Penny Zenker told us, I use this now because it is a comprehensive goal-setting and tracking system with reflection all in one. It helps me align my goals and my daily tasks, which makes me more productive.
3. Wamsutta Extra-Firm Side Sleeper Pillow (10)
Hitting our best-seller list for the 27th time (it was the seventh-best-selling product of 2019), this pillow for side sleepers slides into the top three after a tenth place finish last time. When we tested a wide selection of pillows, we concluded that the Wamsutta Extra-Firm was the most comfortable and supportive of them all. According to our former deputy editor Jason Chen, Unlike other pillows that mistake plushness or fluffiness for support, the WEF didnt sink as soon as I rested my head. Instead, it had a firm, satisfying spring its a different sensation, but one I took to right away. And even though I didnt do any measuring, my head felt more propped up from the mattress and sheets than with any other pillow.
4. Uberlube Luxury Lubricant (Off last list)
We discovered this fancy lube and its elegant glass bottle back in 2018, when Samantha Bard, co-owner of Shag in Williamsburg, described it as one the highest-quality silicone lubes out there. Since then, its been on our best-seller list 18 times (the third-most of any product). While the last time it made the list was back in September, with Valentines Day just a few weeks away, we suspect it might be around for a while.
5. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Cream (Off last list)
This lightweight gel moisturizer has a big following since its a good match for nearly every skin type. Experts recommend it for dry and mature skin, and because its not as heavy as a thick cream, those with oily skin tend to like it as well. The key ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which, as one dermatologist explains, acts like a sponge to pull in water to the outer skin layer to hydrate and plump, even improving the appearance of some fine lines.
6. Vaseline Lip Therapy Lip Balm Mini, Creme Brulee (New entry)
Even though this petite-sized lip balm was our 24th-best-selling product of 2019, this is actually the first time its cracked our biweekly top ten. Amazon reviewers call it a godsend, MAGIC, and by far the best lip balm Ive ever used. Strategist beauty writer Rio Viera-Newton has some other picks for healing chapped lips, but none of them are as cheap as this $1 tub.
7. Press Here Baby Board Book (3)
Child-development experts told us this interactive board book is one of the best gifts for 2-year-olds, and it has now appeared on our list eight times. Illustrated by artist Hervé Tullet, the book features colorful buttons to let toddlers learn about cause and effect. It encourages finding patterns, making predictions, learning colors, remembering sequences, and having fun with a parent, sibling, or other caregiver.
8. The Full Focus Planner by Michael Hyatt (New entry)
Like the Best Self Co. journal, this planner is one of our experts favorites for 2020 and also breaks down the year into 90-day blocks for manageable planning and goal-setting. The layout provides clear focus on what is important, while still enabling me to empty my head of all the other tasks that are lurking around. But it doesnt go overboard so that I can easily get to the actual planning of my day, week, and month, says personal-brand expert Richard Janes, who tells us its the best planner hes ever used.
9. Glossier Balm Dotcom (2)
This lip balm is one of Strategist writer Rio Viera-Newtons favorite Glossier products (she says the berry color is the yummiest, prettiest, and boldest blackberry shade) and its a Gen-Z staple. In our survey of 100 cool teens, the highly Instagrammable Balm Dotcom was a clear winner among respondents. One told us, I cant live without this. I know its a bit pricey, but its really good and also the packaging is cute! Teen girls also told us theyd love to receive a tube as a gift.
10. Maude Vibe (Off last list)
Co-founded by one of Everlanes first hires, Maude is part of a new class of sex-toy brands that are led by women and offer streamlined, modern-looking vibrators. After testing out the Maude Vibe and a few of its competitors, we said this was the one to buy if you want an almost guaranteed orgasm in under two minutes. Or if you want a no-frills, high-powered device that is, at least aesthetically, a blank slate.
