Back in the day there was no way to know if the item you were buying was great or garbage. Which face mask or umbrella is better than the others? Thankfully, those dark times are long behind us thanks to the wonderful world of Amazon reviews. Amazon shoppers generously share their experiences with all sorts of products so we never have to wonder if we're buying the best. Some products inspire passion in users, and it's not always the ones you might think. When a mundane product- like a pen or a sports bra- has a cult following, you know that's a special pen and sports bra!

Think of all the purchases you've made on Amazon vs all the reviews you've left. Most products, even if you really like them, don't compel you to return to Amazon to take the time to write a review. But, when you buy something that exceeds all reasonable expectations, a product that really stands out from the pack, you are much more likely to put in the effort to share your opinion. So when you see a product on Amazon that has over 5,000 reviews, you can safely bet that there are many times that number of people who bought and love the product but didn't bother with the review. We've collected 37 of the most popular products on Amazon, all with over 5,000 reviews. Have you tried them yet?

How About an Eye Gel That Actually Makes Your Dark Circles Disappear?
It might sound too good to be true, but the reviews of Baebody Eye Gel (and there are almost 14,000 of them!) speak for themselves.
Selected Review:
...after using the product twice a day for a couple weeks, I was delighted with the results. Upon immediate application, the gel soothes my puffy eyes as effectively and gently as cucumber slices but without all the mess. It minimizes the dark circles under my eyes and its results get better over time. - ederath
These Hotel Luxury Bed Sheets Might be the Best Sheets You've Ever Had
Even picky sleepers love these Hotel Luxury Bed Sheets.
Selected Review:
I am super picky about sheets; I'm embarrassed to admit how many sets I've purchased, just to toss them when they aren't what I want. I bought my first set of these last summer; they are very soft and cool. What I was looking for was that kind of softness that old linen sheets that have been washed a million times have. (I just can't bring myself to shell out the dough for those...) These are soft, but light and cool. - Leslie A. Holbrook

Highly recommend. - Jasmine Nicole
Poo-Pourri is Wildly Popular and is Credited With Saving More Than a Few Relationships
Poo-Pourri is doing its part to help families live together peacefully.
Selected Review:
We are a family of six in a small one-bathroom house. This is, to put it lightly, a horrific nightmare - particularly after my teenage son spends some time in the bathroom. After a couple of weeks of gentle encouragement ("YOU ARE KILLING EVERYONE. SPRAY THAT STUFF ON THE WATER BEFORE YOU POOP OR I'M TAKING AWAY YOUR PHONE...") he started using it regularly. The bathroom is much less disgusting now after he leaves. - Supa D

According to over 30,000 reviewers, these earbuds deliver.
Selected Review:
Just buy them... Best. Earbuds. Ever. For the price, this is an absolute steal. AUDIO: The audio quality, which is excellent for a set of earbuds, out-performs my wired Bose earbuds... VALUE: How is this possible?! HOW?! This set came with two charging cords (one micro USB and ONE WITH A CONVERTING LIGHTNING/MICRO USB!!!), a car charger with TWO PORTS (1.0A and 2.1A!), replacement ear pieces, and a hard clamshell case. Did I mention it was only $30?! - Stuart Brigham
This Little TurboForce Fan Packs a Powerful Punch
This reviewer suggests changing the fan's name: "'TurboForce' doesn't say it right... 'TurboHurricane', maybe?"
Selected Review:
Let's be realistic: when you buy a fan, you want it to move the air. This beauty does it IN SPADES! Even on low, it is still pushing quite a bit of air and does so relatively quietly... Frankly, I LOVE IT! I have had too many little fans that just couldn't live up to the task. But this little jewel does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do... This is a FAN! And I am a FAN of this fan! - the 117th Doctor

If you've been looking for coffee with a bit of an extra kick, Death Wish might be exactly what you need.
Selected Review:
I'm sold. I bought this to keep me alert and focused at work. By my second cup I no longer needed a keyboard or mouse, as I was able to control my computer directly by thought. By the third cup I could hear colors and smell sounds. After my fourth cup, I decided to burn off some of the excess energy with a quick jog, and ended up finishing the Kessel Run in 11 parsecs flat! Seriously... Buy this stuff! - Erick W.

Exploding Kittens is Fun For Kids and Adults
For guaranteed belly laughs, bring out Exploding Kittens at your next get together.
Selected Review:
This is a quirky, funny and flexible game that beats the hell out of any electronic caca you might be considering as a gift. This little card game provides actual interaction in a light and funny way, plus allows - indeed encourages- a high amount of silly randomness in the way its played. Very fun... Don't worry: no actual kittens were harmed in the making of this game. Several did barf rainbows, however. - K. Jensen

I frikkin' love these pens! I tend to find a lot of pens on the ground, but this one takes the cake...I love the way it writes.

When I write with it, it's so smooth and writes seamlessly without all the tiny line breaks you get with regular ballpoint pens. - Phyl

Have Happier Feet With These Powerstep Pinnacle Shoe Insoles
Selected Review:
I feel like no one will believe this is a legitimate review, because I'm about to tell you that the INSTANT I put these on, I began to feel better. Before my foot even hit the floor or I stood up or tried to walk, my foot and ankle felt better. I wore them for about an hour last night, and put them on again as soon as I was out of bed this morning. I can still feel a bit of a twinge, but the limp I've been fighting for several weeks is gone, and the pain reduced by 90%. - Nicole White, RN

Selected Review:
I have been using Penetrex for more then two years. I am 78 year old with severe arthritis due to loss of all cartilage in both shoulders. I receive shots in each shoulder every 4 months or so.

This Silk Eye Mask is Such a Stand Out That it Has a Whopping 10,500 Mostly 5 Star Reviews!
Selected Review:
This mask is high quality. The silk is very nice and is great for sensitive skin. It fits snug and has an adjustable strap to accommodated all sizes. The strap and clip does not ever get tied up in my shoulder length hair and the clasp lays flat so it does not disturb when I sleep... This mask is a complete blackout mask and could be used for air travel. I cannot tell when the lights are on at all when I've got the mask on. The mask stays snug at night too. - spiketiegal

The Struggle is Real For Us Brow Challenged People, But WUNDERBROW is a Game Changer
Selected Review:
Nothing ever works as well as advertised, right? Wrong... I have somewhat uneven, over plucked eyebrows. On my left eyebrow I have a scar from a childhood accident, where the hair doesn't grow in. I tried this product and was sold from the first use. My eyebrows now look fuller and more defined, and I don't have to be worried that they will "rub off". I also LOVE how natural they look... I cannot recommend Wunderbrow enough! - awbeesmommy

My search for a sports bra is finally over!! No longer do I have to stuff myself into three sports bras, crushing my bosom and my soul, to be able to get a good workout.

The Victorinox Chef's Knife is the Epitome of Value for Money
For about $40, you can't do better than a Victorinox Chef's Knife.
Selected Review:
I did my research and these are literally the best knives you can buy for the money (by the way, this is the same company that invented the Swiss Army Knife). Are you a professional chef? If not, you probably don't need that $300 chef knife and even if you were, I honestly doubt you would be able to tell that much of a difference. - Derek

Why buy any umbrella when you can buy the best umbrella?
Selected Review:
Best umbrella I've ever had... After using several times in a huge rainstorm with heavy winds, it seems to be indestructible. The strong wind will flip the umbrella inside out, but it quickly flips back and show no sign of being worse for wear.

I've used off brand / GNC brand and honestly, the BlenderBottle is the best.
