Chafing is one of the worst parts of warm weather. Here’s how to fix it

1 week ago | nbcnews.com | Christina Colizza |Ashley Morris

During the warmer months, few things are more annoying than the sticky, itchy, burning feeling of chafing.

This Fits-Any-Body Jumpsuit Is Going Viral in Wirecutter’s Office

In The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, one pair of jeans miraculously fits an entire group of friends. The book and the subsequent film are fiction, but they may as well have been fantasy: Women’s sizing is a minefield, and there is no way the 5-foot-10 Blake Lively would fit into the same pants as the 5-foot-1 America Ferrera. It would be unbelievable for even one style to suit them both. And yet, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Why Wirecutter Tests the Same Product for Years on End

May 29, 2024 | nytimes.com | Christina Colizza

If you’re a Wirecutter devotee, you may have noticed that some of our picks have been the same for years. The Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug, for example, has been a pick in our guide to the best travel mugs since at least 2020. Its only real flaw: It keeps your drinks too hot for too long. The Zojirushi mug has remained a pick all this time, however, only because we’ve spent years testing it against other travel mugs as well as putting it through at-home trials.

How cooling sheets could completely transform your sleep routine

Sep 10, 2023 | nbcnews.com | Christina Colizza

May 25, 2023, 8:57 PM UTCI can sleep through anything: my iPhone alarm, parties in the next room, and once famously, all two hours and 33 minutes of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in the movie theater (imagine my shock when I found out in the car ride home that Dumbledore had died). I can drift off just about anywhere unless it’s a hot room or a too-warm bed. If you’re like me, and suffer from the night sweats, you might be a good candidate for a set of cooling bed sheets.
Hot sleepers, rejoice. These breathable sheets can help keep you cool.
