TMI alert: I sweat … a lot. And I'm not just talking about when it's sweltering. My pits perspire like it's their job (OK, it is!) all year long. So you can imagine that summer is especially fraught for me. I use deodorant — in abundance! — but still, I'm hesitant to get too close for fear of knocking people back with my funk. Can you relate? Then you'll want to stock up on the must-haves Senior Beauty Writer Marie Lodi recommends for feeling fresh all day long. I'm grabbing a bunch of these travel wipes for the hot, humid weeks ahead. You should too. And while you're at it, I've rounded up more must-buys below.

I love recommending great products, but make no mistake: This is a two-way street. Yahoo readers have great taste and know a good deal when they see one, so it's no surprise they convinced me to add these steals to my shopping cart.

There's always room for just one more versatile dress in the closet, right? This fan-favorite style is a smart investment because you can wear it anywhere. It's fancy enough for weddings and formal events, but not so stuffy that you can't don it for a casual weekend lunch with friends. It comes in more than 10 colors, and one customer called it "So pretty and super comfortable!"
-
Sand, crumbs and pet hair are no match for this powerful car vacuum that's earned more than 138,000 five-star ratings. "A convenient device to keep the van tidy!" one reviewer shared. "Great for sucking up small things," another added.
-
Your kitchen isn't complete without this super-sharp knife set, perfect for chopping onions, dicing chicken breasts and hulling strawberries. It comes with six slicers, each with its own blade cover, that are all dishwasher-safe and have an anti-rust coating. "They cut everything like butter," one commenter wrote.

If the last thing you want is a heavy leather tote bag making you even hotter during the already sweltering summer months, then it's time to treat yourself to this handy Kate Spade wristlet while it's on mega-sale. It's made from durable genuine leather, and it's spacious enough to hold credit cards, an ID and some cash.

My quest for comfortable footwear is never-ending. I have flat, oddly shaped feet, but I love walking, which means I'm always looking for shoes that don't rub, pinch or squeeze. Here are a few winners I've been wearing nonstop this season:

And the award for the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn goes to … Saucony! I know there are lots of Hoka and Brooks loyalists out there, but they're just too squishy for me. I find the ProGrid Triumph 4s more sturdy and supportive, making them my go-to choice when I'll be on my feet all day. I love them so much, I own them in five colors!
-
When it's just too hot and humid to leave the house in kicks that fully encase my feet, I strap on these cloud-like walking sandals. They’re just as comfy as my favorite sneakers, except that they allow air to pass through so my soles don't get all hot and sweaty. The velcro straps are adjustable, and I can walk my dog in them with no pain whatsoever. (Read my full review here.)
- Perfect for padding around the house or quick trips to the pharmacy, these simple slides are a staple in my footwear collection. They don't get ruined if water touches them, and the thick rubber soles don't wear down quickly.
-
I bought these fancy flip-flops on a whim during a recent mall trip, and they've quickly become one of my favorite styles to slide on and go. They look great with dresses and skirts, but they're also a nice accessory to give jeans and denim shorts a bit more polish.

Crest 3D Whitestrips: Laws in the U.K. and much of Europe ban most teeth-whitening products due to a limit on one main ingredient: hydrogen peroxide. U.K. laws limit over-the-counter products to a maximum of 0.1% hydrogen peroxide, whereas these contain as much as 10%. This pack includes 22 treatments, and wearing them for one hour per day can help get your chompers up to 19 shades whiter.
-
Eos Body Lotion: This lightweight moisturizer is super hydrating thanks to shea butter and nourishing oils. Those visiting America right now really love the Vanilla Cashmere scent, which is sweet and a little sultry.
-
Touchland Hand Sanitizer: Touchland is an American brand that's not as widely available abroad, so people are stocking up while they're here! The hand sanitizer is popular for its fresh scents, easy spray bottle, hydrating ingredients and the fact that it doesn't leave a film or feel sticky when you use it.
-
Natrol Melatonin Gummies: You can't purchase melatonin over the counter in the U.K. and many other countries, so tourists are picking up these sleep-supporting supplements while they can. A lot of people are stocking up on Lemme (the brand owned by Kourtney Kardashian), but others are reaching for Natrol, which earned a spot on Yahoo Health's list of the best melatonin supplements.

I've been wanting to try the matching sets trend that's so popular right now, but I'm reluctant to splash out a lot of cash on one. I finally caved and tried on a few from Walmart, and this chic knit two-piece is my absolute fave. The fit isn't too tight and the fabric hangs beautifully and doesn't trap heat. And even though it's white, it's not see-through thanks to the lining. I've already worn it and received tons of compliments. No one could believe it was from Walmart!
