How this was put together

This guide is based on owner ratings and reviews from Amazon, totaling over 40,000 ratings across the products. We considered effectiveness, safety, price, and volume. No products were tested hands-on, and the evidence on some products was thinner than others, leading to cautious language and lower scores where appropriate.
