With Amazon Prime Day in the not-so-distant past, the e-retailer is still offering discounts on select items that Good Housekeeping readers shopped during the four-day sale. In this edition of What's In My Cart, I rounded up our readers' most sought-after products in July — including Prime Day in particular, when they shopped the most.
After combing through over 200 popular products that readers have been shopping in the last 30 days, I noticed people are stocking up on home and beauty essentials for summer. While it's no surprise that July is (literally) a hot time to buy one of our top-tested sunscreens, it is a happy surprise that post-Prime Day sales are still kicking.
WHY WE LIKE IT: Bedsure makes some of our favorite affordable bedding, including these cooling sheets that feature moisture-wicking capabilities. During Textiles Lab evaluations, they proved to be pill-resistant, and testers who sleep hot were impressed by the sheets' temperature regulation.
WHAT TESTERS ARE SAYING: "The sheets feel silky soft and cool to touch," said one tester, while another shared, "I no longer wake up with night sweats."

WHY WE LIKE IT: Stanley water bottles perform well in our Kitchen Lab tests, including the IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler. Although a little pricey for a water bottle, it proved to not leak at all. We also like that it fits most cup holders.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "Even in the summer heat, ice stays frozen all day. I’ve left it in the car and still had ice hours later," said one satisfied Amazon shopper.

WHY WE LIKE IT: Come summertime, there is nothing like a fresh salad with crisp lettuce and seasonal veggies. This Amazon's Choice salad spinner makes the preparation easy. In Lab tests, it spun out 83% of water from mixed greens. Our pros found the pump comfortable to hold and appreciated that you can hold down the pump to lock it in place for easy storage.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "The pump mechanism works smoothly and spins fast enough to completely dry lettuce and other greens in just one or two rounds," said one five-star Amazon review.
WHY WE LIKE IT: Multiple GH staffers are obsessed with this popular silk pillowcase. Not only does it look luxurious on your bed, but it maintained its smooth feel post-laundering and didn't pill in our Lab tests.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "I swear this pillowcase helps stop tangling in my fine yet frizzy wavy hair," shared one tester, who said the pillowcase still looks great after five years of use.
Maidenform One Fab Fit Underwire Bra
WHY WE LIKE IT: Maidenform offers more affordable intimates, and this particular bra outperformed various much pricier styles. Our experts appreciate the comfortable, convertible straps and light padding for a natural lift. The bra was also one of the lowest post-Prime Day deals we have seen!
In Lab evaluations, the One Fab Fit Underwire Bra aced our Lab stretch recovery test, but we did notice some shrinkage after going through the washer and dryer.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "I have a small cup size and I felt like there were no gaps or overflows. It felt just right," shared one tester who wears a 34A bra size.
WHY WE LIKE IT: Whether you live in a city apartment or have minimal closet space in your home, this unique pants hanger will upgrade your storage strategy. The GH Best Cleaning & Organizing Awards winner features five non-slip hangers that keep clothes from falling off.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "Ordered one and it worked so well I ended up ordering 2 more to fit all of my pants!" shared one satisfied Amazon shopper.
Hawaiian Tropic AntiOxidant Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50
WHY WE LIKE IT: Sunscreen is an absolute must-have, and this SPF 50 formula earned perfect scores for not drying or irritating skin in Beauty Lab tests. It also has a pleasant scent and didn't leave any white residue after application.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "It far exceeded my expectations on all levels," shared one user.

Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive At-home Teeth Whitening Kit
WHY WE LIKE IT: Crest 3D whitening products perform well in Beauty Lab evaluations and are a favorite among testers. This Amazon's Choice kit for sensitive teeth includes 18 treatments and is designed to gently remove stains in just over two weeks, according to the manufacturer.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "I have super sensitive teeth from years and years of whitening. These strips are amazing!" said one five-star reviewer.
ANRABESS Boho Maxi Dress
WHY WE LIKE IT: Anrabess is a favorite Amazon dress brand among GH editors. This boho chic maxi dress is available in over a dozen patterns and has a stylish three-quarter puff sleeve and pretty tiered silhouette.
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "Great quality and light material for summer," wrote one shopper, a sentiment shared by multiple Amazon customers.
Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Body Cream
WHY WE LIKE IT: Not only is the Waleda Skin Food Body Cream Amazon's Choice, but it's also Jennifer Aniston's go-to. Formulated with nourishing ingredients such as chamomile and sweet almond oil, this cream helps moisturize dry skin thanks to an ultra-rich consistency (hence its name).
WHAT USERS ARE SAYING: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I use it on my hands, face, knees, and lips at night," shared one satisfied Amazon shopper. Another five-star reviewer said, "It provides maximum coverage, truly hydrating even the driest of skin."
