Sometimes the most useful products come from smaller, independent entrepreneurs instead of the big brand name companies — but these products aren't always easy to find when you're just casually browsing through aisles. That's where Shark Tank comes in. Not only does the show give a select few hopefuls the chance to team up with a successful investor, but they also get easy publicity for a product that the masses likely haven't heard of before. Even the products that don't get deals with the sharks can become wildly successful, and many of these genius products you can easily find right on Amazon.
From a young kid pitching his dissolvable toy glue to the couple who came up with the fun wine glass that attaches directly to the bottle, there are hundreds of Shark Tank-approved products available on Amazon — but in an effort not to break the bank, I've also kept this slideshow to items under $25.
Be warned: personal experience implores me to tell you that exploring Shark Tank products without boundaries can quickly lead to a hefty $300+ charge on your credit card, and while I choose to live my life with reckless abandon, I recognize that not everyone has an appreciation fiscal irresponsibility.
Because these products are just that good.

16The Stool That Takes The Strain Out Of Using The Bathroom
