The bottle nipple is slightly offset, much like a real nipple, which (according to the brand—we haven’t tested this ourselves) allows the baby to feed in a more upright position. The bottles come in assorted sizes ranging from 2 to 11 ounces, with slow to fast flow nipples. The manual pump, with its amber-hued plastic…
You can get a lot more from a hair dryer now. We recently put 16 hair dryers to the test, and many of these products bear little resemblance to the simple, rickety thing I used as a teen. The new models have sensors. They have magnets and RFID chips. They promise to tame flyaways, protect…
I’ve removed the cover from my velvet couch and washed it in the washing machine a few times to rid the material of unpleasant smells. This isn’t possible with all upholstered furniture, though. For those pieces, your best bet is reaching for a fabric deodorizer. Many fabric deodorizers have fragrances that replace the unpleasant smells…
We test only broad-spectrum sunscreens labeled SPF 30—the minimum that dermatologists recommend you use—or above. Most of the sunscreens are water-resistant. But, because some facial sunscreens are meant for everyday use—not just when you’ll be swimming or sweating—a few of the ones we tested aren’t water-resistant.

Compromise isn’t great for your principles but it’s essential for portable Bluetooth speakers. JBL’s Flip strikes the perfect compromise between mobility and sound quality, offering clean detail with plenty of punch in a durable, droppable, and utterly portable package. The Flip 7 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) provides new goodies like increased water resistance, an easy-release strap,…
Honorable Mentions Aeezo 9-inch frame $90: This frame will do the job, but the app—the Frameo app, rather than a dedicated Azeeo app, which we’ve seen on other cheap frames as well—isn’t nearly as streamlined as pricier counterparts. They’re better that other cheap options we’ve tested, but, like Cozyla, they cross the $100 threshold. If…
