About HypeProof

HypeProof is consumer journalism for women over 40 who are tired of being told every viral product is a must-have.

Founded by Nikki, a 47-year-old former radio journalist and talk-show host with more than 20 years of broadcasting experience, HypeProof investigates claims, tests products in real life, and calls BS when necessary.

Products are judged on claims, value, real-life usefulness, and whether they are worth buying again. Sponsorships are disclosed, affiliate commissions never guarantee approval, and “MEH” is always an acceptable verdict.

Before you buy the hype, check the BS.

Explore the products and digital guides that made it through the test.
