21 Weird AF Products Even More Satisfying Than The Bubble Mask
No matter what social media platforms you're on, you've probably heard about the carbonated bubble mask. It’s taken the beauty world by storm for its odd sensations and the glowing skin that results from it, but it's not the only one. The internet (Amazon in particular) is riddled with impossibly satisfying products that actually exist. You just need to know where to look for them.
The term "satisfying" means something different to everyone. To me, it means efficiency, convenience, and an item that takes care of multiple functions at once. For you, maybe it's one of these oddly satisfying videos with tons of symmetry, or maybe it's an adorable cat that comes out to greet you when you hang stuff on its tail.
Whatever your definition, Amazon is loaded with items that improve your day with a little satisfaction. These items aren't just limited to the beauty sphere, either. Want instant gratification in the form of homemade ice cream? How about a glove that gives you a deep massage just by rolling over your skin? Check out these weird AF products that are even more satisfying than the bubble mask, so you can get your hands on them before they hit your newsfeed.
