Plus chewing gum that gives you energy, a new pain patch and a maker stopping snoring | Hey there, If you missed the exciting news, the Grommet is back! Read the story here, | | To kickstart our comeback, we have discovered 10 new makers who have created incredible products that are unique, ready to ship and will improve your life in more ways than one. | | | | | Kailo: Naturally Relieve Pain Anywhere On Your Body In Seconds |  | | The Maker: Stuart Fetzer, entrepreneur from Utah. The Story Behind Kailo: Kailo didn’t start out as a pain patch—it started as an antenna. One of the founders, who worked with communications antennas, broke 6 ribs in a motorcycle accident. While laid up in bed, he kept tinkering with his antennas and realized that when he rested them on his chest, the ache in his ribs seemed to go away. This revelation took the company in a new direction. What if you could create an antenna for the body that could interrupt the communication of pain signals? The answer to this was the Kailo patch.
Why We Love Kailo: Kailo is a drug-free, clinically proven pain patch that communicates directly with your brain, telling it to “turn down the volume” of the pain signal. This allows your brain to send help, reducing the pain immediately. It helps relieve pain all over your body including your neck, back, knees, wrists, and more! The Maker, Stuart Fetzer, stated that “with proper placement, Kailo has a 90%+ success rate and can be used by anyone who suffers from muscular, skeletal, or nerve pain.” Since its inception, Kailo has been on a mission to “relieve suffering and enable joy by using innovative technologies to reduce pain without drugs.”
| | | | Hale Breathing: Stop Snoring In One Night |  | | The Maker: Dr. Patrick Byrne, Director of the Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division at Johns Hopkins The Story Behind Hale: After two decades of treating nasal obstruction patients, Dr. Patrick Byrne was inspired to create a better solution for his patients who were sick of snoring, but did not want to spend thousands of dollars on surgery. That’s when he invented Hale!
Why We Love Hale: Hale is an innovative new nasal breathing aid that helps you breathe through your nose the moment you start wearing it. Simply place it inside your nose to open up your nasal passages, helping you finally take deep, satisfying breaths through your nose. Even better? It’s virtually undetectable to those around you!
| | | | Soul Insole: The Fast, Natural Way To Get Relief From Foot Pain |  | | The Maker: Laina Gossman The Story Behind Soul Insole: Laina got her start in a small San Diego shoe boutique that specializes in custom orthotics. At this shoe store she also learned the art of building custom shoes. People came to Laina year after year with their serious foot ailments to get custom orthotics made that actually stopped foot pain at the source. With a background in kinesiology & biomechanics, Laina decided she wanted to help more people than she could by individually hand-carving orthotics, thus, Soul Insole was born!
Why We Love Soul Insole: Soul Insoles patented, award-winning shoe insert instantly relieves pressure from your heel and forefoot – providing soothing relief to your feet, legs, and back in minutes! They work in every type of shoe (even sandals!) and provide you with the increased support, balance, and comfort you’ve been searching for.
| | | | Miracle Laundry Detergent: Toxic Free Detergent Sheets That Almost Makes Laundry Fun |  | | The Maker: Miracle Brand from Jacksonville, FL The Problem It Solves: Traditional detergents use 20+ chemicals (including those that are toxic for your skin!) to fight stains. And then once the chemicals leave your home, they enter the water supply and the environment. In fact, 1 billion plastic laundry detergent jugs are thrown out every year and 90% of them end up in the ocean, landfills, or are shipped to poorer nations. When it comes to the materials harming our planet, plastic is public enemy #1.
Why We Love Miracle: Miracle Brand, a small company from Florida, created these innovative laundry detergent sheets that are ultra-concentrated and offer extra-strong cleaning power without using any harsh chemicals. Add in the biodegradable packaging and natural ingredients, and Miracle is truly the most effective earth-friendly detergent out there!
| | | | Bondic: Throw Away Your Super Glue…Because This Is 1000X Better |  | | The Makers: Robert Harbauer and Dr. Thomas Offermann The Story Behind Bondic: Robert was on a trip to Germany when he discovered something he’d never seen before: A bonding agent that only hardened when exposed to UV light. The agent was made by Dr Offermann, an oral surgeon who used it for filling and bonding teeth. Robert and Dr. Offernman instantly “bonded.”When Dr. Offermann explained that he’d already used it to fix his coffee machine, they both realized: This stuff is INCREDIBLE — for more than just teeth! They immediately teamed up on a mission to bring this amazing adhesive to every home and toolbox in the world.
Why We Love Bondic: 50x more powerful than glue, Bondic is a patented liquid plastic welder that hardens in seconds when exposed to UV light (included with every purchase). It makes everyday fixes quick, easy, and long-lasting – potentially saving you $1000s on repairs. You can use Bondic on hundreds of surfaces and materials including metal, wood, glass, plastic, ceramics, fabric, wiring, and more.
| | | | FIXD: Prevent $1,000s In Costly Car Repairs! |  | | The Makers: John Gattuso, Frederick Grimm, and Julian Knight The Story Behind FIXD: Known as “the car guy” to his family and friendsearly on, John was responsible for taking care of the family vehicle. So when John left for Georgia Tech, he kept getting calls from friends and family asking if the information they were being told by the mechanic sounded right. John and his fellow co-founders realized there was a huge problem in the industry: People didn’t understand what was going on with their car and they didn’t trust the professionals they relied on for help. FIXD was born out of the desire to bring peace of mind to a typically stressful experience and put everyday, non-car-savvy people back in the driver's seat.
Why We Love FIXD: With FIXD, you don’t need to know anything about cars – it’s like having a mechanic in your pocket 24/76. With one tap, you’ll instantly know what’s wrong with your car, how bad it is (minor or major), if you should keep driving or not, and exactly how much it should cost to fix – all in easy-to-understand language. FIXD makes understanding your car’s health simple!
| | | | NeuroGum: This Chewing Gum Gives You Energy & Helps You Focus |  | | The Makers: Kent Yoshimura and Ryan Chen The Story Behind NeuroGum: Kent and Ryan met as student-athletes in college. They were both looking for something to give them just a little boost, and, as Ryan says, you can’t really put coffee in your pocket. After mixing supplements in his kitchen, Kent found the perfect formula. This blend of natural caffeine, L-theanine, and vitamins is what would eventually become Neuro Gum.
Why We Love It: Each piece of Neuro Gum comes packed with natural caffeine, L-theanine, and B-vitamins to help you sustain the mental endurance necessary to stay focused on your goals. Even better, it’s been shown to enhance your focus 5x faster than drinking coffee. Now you can enjoy a boost of energy without the side effects AND get fresh breath at the same time!
| | | | UV Brite: The Water Bottle That Purifies Your Water For You |  | | The Maker: Amit Vaghela The Story Behind UV Brite: One day in the airport, Amit noticed something that bothered him: everyone was buying disposable plastic water bottles! He was shocked to discover the reason: people don’t trust their water source to be pure and clean. After doing his own research, he realized they had good reason to be worried: the water supplies are filled with germs! Amit began working on a way to provide pure water to everyone – no matter where they are in the world. After years of development and lab testing, UVBrite was born. Not only does Amit’s patented solution give people confidence in the water they drink, it’s preventing millions of plastic bottles from entering the ocean. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Why We Love UVBrite: The UVBrite water bottle uses UV-C light, the same technology found in hospitals, dental offices, and even the International Space Station, to purify your water in seconds with just the push of a button! UVBrite can purify up to 60 bottles of water on a single charge. Protect yourself from the germs infesting your bottle with UVBrite.
| | | | Amaranth Vase: Double The Life Of Your Fresh Flowers |  | | The Maker: The Amaranth Vase Company from Miami, FL The Problem It Solves: Do you love fresh-cut flowers? They brighten up any room in the house. But they are a pain to take care of! And no matter how hard you work to keep them looking their best, store-bought flowers don’t last nearly as long as they should. With the price of, well, everything going up, you might even wonder if it’s worth the price to even bring them home.
Why We Love Amaranth: What if there was a way to make your flowers last an extra week longer? What if there was an innovation that DOUBLED the life, the smell and the look of your fresh-cut flowers? Well, that’s exactly what the makers of Amaranth Vase set out to answer. Their solution is a new advancement that looks like a fancy vase, but has a secret "flower care system" built inside. With it, you can trim stems, swap out water, and easily extend the life of your flowers…
| | | | Hiya: A Kid’s Multivitamin Without The Sugars And The Junk |  | | Makers: Darren Litt and Adam Gillman. The Story Behind Hiya: Two dads unable to find a vitamin for their kids that wasn’t “candy in disguise”, Darren and Adam got to work.

The result is Hiya Children’s Vitamins!
Why We Love Hiya: Hiya is a daily children’s vitamin that has zero added sugar (it’s sweetened with monk fruit!) and zero gummy junk so you can be confident your kids are getting the full-body nourishment they need to grow into healthy adults. Kids love them… but most importantly, so do parents!
