When it comes to health advice, the internet is like an unsolicited auntie who means well but somehow makes everything way more confusing. As a health editor with almost eight years in the game, I'm here to clear something up: there's no one way to live well. I've always been more interested in how you can do so and feel good — no matter what that looks like to you. With that mind, I bring you our Feel-Good Awards [1]: health edition.
If you've already scrolled around our awards hub [2], you'll notice that we do things a little differently at Popsugar. In 2025, we let emotions rather than exclusivity be our guide, spotlighting only the items that moved us for the better. After testing a total of 2,138 products over the year, we pulled together the picks that brought us a legit dopamine hit when we needed it the most across 5 different categories: health, fitness [3], beauty [4], sex [5], and home [6].
As the health lead, I made sure our testing criteria for the health winners was particularly rigorous. Mainly because I've seen (and tried) it all — from the pills that promise longevity to the salve that swears to heal. And I've gotten pretty good at finding the products that work well and stand the test of time. Our feel-good health selections feature the small but mighty items that actually improved our health in little ways, every day. They made us breathe easier, sleep better, hydrate more, and ultimately feel like our best selves. And now, we want that for you. Below, our top five feel-good health picks.

Best Feel-Good Tracker
Oura Ring 4 Ceramic [7] ($500)
There are health trackers, and then there's the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic — or, as we like to call it, the little ring that could. Everything about this device made us want to be and do better.
We've never felt more inspired to Marie Kondo the hell out of our lives, removing all the unnecessary stressors within our control. That's thanks to the watch's tracking capabilities, which can analyze the real-time impact of stress on your body, how quickly you bounce back, and the potential long-term consequences. You'll also get actionable insights about your sleep, daily readiness, heart, and metabolic health.
And if past year's neutral titanium design wasn't your vibe, the 2025 makeover offers a new ceramic (read: legitimately scratch-resistant) material in four colors — midnight blue, white, and two pastels, pink and green — from the bold to the demure. Diamond rings may sparkle, but an Oura ring will create long-lasting health habits that will have you glowing from the inside out.
Editor Quote: "The Oura Ring is by far one of the most comprehensive health trackers I've used. As someone with a chronic illness, the daily readiness scores are a game changer for me, helping me decide how hard to push myself, and when to get some extra rest. I also like that I can track meals and get feedback from a nutritional standpoint as opposed to hyper-fixating on calories." — Chandler Plante, staff writer and social producer
Best Feel-Good Mental Health Product
Sunday Club Bundle [8] ($25)
Call it what you want: a recession indicator [9] or our known pension for nostalgia, but we can't stop talking about the Sunday Club bundle. In the simplest terms: it feels like therapy. This print puzzle newspaper asks us to put the phone down, take a break from the harsh headlines and to-do lists that plague us, and just play for a while. Each issue is filled with vibrant paper-and-pencil games that allow you to press pause on whatever consumes you. And for a few hours, you get to unwind, disconnect, and breathe a little deeper.
Editor Quote: "My brain felt so much less clouded by internet junk as I closed my Sunday evenings with mental stimulation and tactile engagement. I'm definitely extending my subscription." - Alexis Jones, health and fitness section lead
Best Feel-Good Hydration Product
HidrateSpark Pro 2 [10] ($70)
Fact: 2025 was the year of hot-girl hydration. We all had a water bottle strapped to the hip [11], and rightfully so: Everything (mind, body, and spirit) feels better when you're hydrated. But your tricked-out tumbler's got nothing on this vessel. Meet your new drinking buddy, the HidrateSpark Pro 2.
This water bottle works harder than Kris Jenner to manage and motivate, tracking your every sip with personalized hydration reminders and app alerts (nothing obnoxious, just a cute glow and buzz if you choose). Closing your hydration rings in the app feels like a moment of quiet triumph, like you're finally mastering the unattainable art of self-care one sip at a time. Warning: attachment is expected.
Editor Quote: "The HidrateSpark keeps you accountable by constantly reminding you to drink water throughout the day, but not in an aggressive way. You can control the settings via the accompanying app, which is super-intuitive and easy to operate. While you do have to charge the 'scale' on the bottom of the water bottle, it has a long battery life so I'd hardly call that an issue given the bottle's wildly smart capabilities." - Sarah Wasilak, shopping director
Best Feel-Good Sleep Product
PlusOne Restful Sleep Spray [12] ($11)
We never thought sleep was something you could bottle up and sell, but the PlusOne Restful Sleep Spray seems to have found a loophole. A combination of magnesium, lavender, and ashwagandha come together to create a somniferous potion that would make even Maleficient jealous. Spritz this around your body and feet before bed and watch the soothing routine act as your permission slip to finally unwind.
Editor Quote: "While I enjoy a slow start to my mornings, my nighttime wind-down often feels much more frantic. This magnesium spray has been a great first step in ending my day more mindfully. I enjoyed the light lavender scent, and I liked that the spray didn't feel sticky on my skin. I can't promise that it'll help you doze off faster, but since using this spray (specifically on the bottoms of my feet), my sleep latency period has decreased from 17 minutes to eight." - Chandler Plante, staff writer and social producer
Editor Note: While we know magnesium can play a powerful role in better sleep, skin absorption is often minimal. This spray is great for building a calming bedtime ritual, but if you want/need a higher dose of magnesium or may be suffering from a sleep condition, you may want to try an oral supplement instead and always consult with a healthcare professional beforehand.
Best Feel-Good Personal Hygiene Product
Quip's Ultra Next Generation Smart Sonic Electric Toothbrush [13] ($110)
Dental health is like the middle child of health care: attention seeking but often neglected. It's easy to ignore teeth until they cry out for TLC with plaque buildup and bleeding gums. And caring for them can feel like a burden to many, especially those with mental health conditions (think: ADHD or depression) who are put off by the weight, vibrations, noise, and physical sensations. This smart electric toothbrush from Quip removes many of those barriers, gliding smoothly around your mouth with a sleek and quiet finesse. The product feels nearly weightless in your hands and features a silicone design for a softer tactile experience. Plus, the 10+ intensities offer extreme personalization while the magnetic charger makes for convenient, no-excuse brushing.
Editor Quote: "Electric toothbrushes have always been overstimulating for me: they're typically loud, heavy, and too aggressive. They often make teeth cleaning feel like its own workout. The new Quip toothbrush is super lightweight and easy to maneuver in the back corners and crevices, and in terms of design, the five colorways will look sleek in any bathroom. I actually look forward to brushing now." - Alexis Jones, health and fitness section lead
