Plus, it's made of a soft silicone material that won't rub your skin after a long day of wearing it. At just 9 ounces, it's lightweight enough to all day, no problem. The battery can last anywhere from 4 to 16 hours — depending on your speed setting, of course.

The good thing about Fourth of July sales is that they are typically a multi-day event for most retailers, bookending the holiday. This year, July 4th is today, a Thursday, so that means sales started a few days ago and continue through the weekend for most retailers.

We're keeping our eye on the top deals coming out of your favorite stores—like Walmart, Target, Wayfair, and even Amazon—and are rounding up some of the best discounts on favorite brands and items. That includes bestsellers, AOL-reader favorites, and the tried-and-tested products we love that are at shout-worthy prices.

This year, we are seeing some of the best deals on outdoor essentials, like patio furniture and grills. We also see some great sales on clothing and accessories at Old Navy, Kate Spade and Nordstrom Rack. As major retailers clear out summer inventory in preparation for fall, we all get to benefit from the clean-out.
