20 “Shark Tank” Products People Swear By

Solemates Heel Protectors
If you’ve ever worn heels on grass, then Solemates Heel Protectors are for you, Girl. Though the female-founded company didn’t close a deal on Shark Tank, they’re still kicking. In fact, with a surge of outdoor weddings à la the COVID-19 pandemic, Solemates is thriving. Their original Solemates Heel Protectors are obviously a big-selling item—after all, these tiny, clear plastic bits pop onto the bottom of your heel in order to stop them from sinking into grass, dirt, sand or otherwise soft ground—but the company has also expanded in recent years to also offer shoe fresheners, blister protectors and more shoe-related products.

DudeRobe Luxury Men’s Hooded Bathrobe
Can you swear by a robe? Hold on, let me get my boyfriend. No, but all jokes aside, the DudeRobe brand doesn’t make ordinary robes. It makes robes for dudes and takes into consideration all the things dudes love—including hoodies. The DudeRobe Luxury Men’s Hooded Bathrobe is made of premium sweatshirt material on the outside and is particularly comfortable and absorbent on the inside. It also features permanently attached belt (that you’ll never lose), an extra pocket in its interior and a convenient above-the-knee length that guys dig. Unfortunately, DudeRobe didn’t snag a deal when the company appeared on Shark Tank, but that hasn’t stopped customers (and viewers!) from giving them their money. One DudeRobe.com reviewer wrote, “Loving my gray Dude Robe so far! Super comfortable cotton materials. Hoodie is great for colder mornings. Couldn’t be happier with it! Would recommend it.”

Bombas Women’s Originals Ankle Sock 4-Pack
Everybody and their mother has Bombas socks nowadays! Shark Tank investor Daymond John made a deal with the company and even said that it was “one of the top three investments” he made throughout his time on the show. And the numbers are definitely there to back him up. After an undoubtedly successful appearance on The Today Show in 2015, Bombas had quite an increase in sales, helping the company reach a projected annual revenue of $1.1 million. But—they’re just socks, right? Wrong. Bombas makes socks for men, women and children (as well as underwear and other apparel)—all while giving back and donating a pair of socks for every pair purchased. On Bombas.com, the Bombas Women’s Originals Ankle Sock 4-Pack have earned a 4.8-star rating and garnered more than 17,000 reviews. One happy customer wrote, “These are the most comfortable ankle socks I’ve ever worn!! I can be on my feet all day and feel amazing at the end of the day!”

The Sleep Styler
After Tara Brown’s episode of Shark Tank aired—an episode in which she made a deal with Greiner for her invention, The Sleep Styler—all of Brown’s inventory, all of it, sold out within minutes. Three months later, The Sleep Styler had garnered $50 million in sales with even Greiner having said, “The response after The Sleep Styler aired was unbelievable. I’d never hit this kind of number in that amount of time with any of my Shark Tank entrepreneurs.” Designed to both dry and curl your hair while you sleep—without the help of heat—The Sleep Styler still to this day routinely sells out at Walmart.

Tipsy Elves Men’s Drinking Game Ugly Christmas Sweater
To this day, Tipsy Elves is talked about with pride on Shark Tank. After all, investor Robert Herjavec offered them $100,000 in funding back in 2013, and in their first two years as a silly-holiday-apparel company, Tipsy Elves brought in $1 million. Nowadays, it’s the go-to spot for holiday-themed sweaters, socks, onesies and more. If you want any chance of taking home the first prize at your next ugly sweater party this December, grab yourself something from Tipsy Elves.

Frywall Splatter Guard
Fur Oil
The Queen of QVC—that’s Grenier, of course—also lent her hand to Fur Oil, an ingrown-hair concentrate that seeks to soften pubic hair in order to prevent ingrowns and other pubic-related problems. Made with natural ingredients—grape seed oil, jojoba oil, clary sage and tea tree oil—most users describe Fur Oil as a conditioner for your pubic hair. It relieves irritation and can also be used on other areas of the body, too: the underarms, legs and, hey,—even your face! One reviewer and frequent user wrote, “This is one of the best purchases I’ve made. I am an African American woman with very curly hair. I love getting waxed but had the worst hair bumps. I discovered this product. Its directions are to use once every day after taking a shower and drying off and the hair bumps were gone after two days. The bottle is small but I can’t go without now. It’s the only thing that has worked for me. I highly recommend.”

Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0
Don’t landscape—manscape! Designed to help men actually enjoy their grooming routine, Manscaped as a brand makes everything from the Lawn Mower 3.0 (an electric groin and body-hair trimmer) to deodorants, body wash, ball wipes and more. Though Cuban invested in Manscaped the company and not just this hair trimmer, the Manscaped Lawn Mower 3.0 is definitely the place to start if you’re new to manscaping. Dudes love that it comes to an adjustable guard with two lengths, a rechargeable battery and is waterproof to boot. One Manscaped.com reviewer wrote, “Great product. Looks awesome, and cleans you up without any problems. No cuts or scrapes, just smooth skin. Definitely buy if you are in the market.”

Stasher Sandwich Bag
The Comfy Original
Move over, Snuggie. The Comfy—an oversize, fleece-lined blanket-slash-sweatshirt with a hoodie—got everyone’s attention when it first hooked a deal with Barbara Corcoran on Shark Tank back in 2017. It’s largely known to this day as “that Shark Tank product” because of just how popular it became, with USA Today ranking it the fifth best-selling Shark Tank product in history (as of 2019).

The Original Little Elf Gift Wrap Cutter
Ring Video Doorbell Pro
Surely you’ve heard of Ring before! Can you believe that it’s actually a Shark Tank castoff? Yes, when first presented to the Sharks back in 2013, the Ring company was called something else—DoorBot. It didn’t manage to score a deal, but nowadays, Ring is a household name and one of the most recognizable in front-door security.

AquaPaw Pet Bathing Tool
The AquaPaw Pet Bathing Tool is a game-changing product that all pet-owners need, despite the owners of the company walking away from a multi-Shark deal from Herjavec, John and Skinnygirl CEO Bethenny Frankel. (The owners refused to give up such a significant amount of equity.) Whether your pet enjoys bath time or loathes it, the AquaPaw really makes tub time easier, thanks to the amount of control it lends to the human. This slim, flexible gadget is basically a bathing globe that can be used with just one hand, so that you can, you know, keep your dog or cat in the tub! It comes with hose adapters that make it easy to use either inside or outside, and it even makes for a more efficient bath because the water has a more direct line right into your pet’s fur. One Chewy.com reviewer that gave the product a five-star rating wrote, “I’ve had to give my 4.5 month old pup several medicated baths and I wish I had purchased this from the beginning. Installation was easy and the entire wash process took maybe 30 seconds to wet him down and 1 minute to thoroughly rinse off the shampoo. Combined it with a licky mat with frozen peanut butter for a dream of a bath time.”

The Paint Brush Cover
PhoneSoap 3
In the wake of the coronavirus global pandemic, PhoneSoap 3 and the rest of the company’s gadget-sanitizing products have never been so relevant. Another Grenier special, it sanitizes phones—and really, anything else that can fit inside of the PhoneSoap 3—with UV rays that can kill up to 99.99 percent of viruses and bacteria. In 2019, PhoneSoap made $46 million in sales, and numbers have likely only gone up since the health crisis. With got a near-perfect 4.8-star rating and 2,880 reviews on PhoneSoap.com, this review left by a five-star rater echoes the sentiment of many: “Gave it as a gift to a family member. He loves it and uses it all the time. I have one and truly glad I got it. It cleans the phone fast…. Able to take it on travels too. Would recommend to friends and family.”
