Getting ready for a big weekend only to remember that you drank you last Red Bull earlier in the day and you're also fresh out of condoms? The horror!

Never again do you have to face this fiasco, thanks to Amazon. The Web giant on Thursday added Red Bull and Trojan to its lineup of Dash Buttons, along with a slew of other brands, including Brawny, Charmin, Clorox, Doritos, Energizer, Gain, Honest Kids, L'Oreal Paris Revitalift, Lysol, Peet's Coffee, Playtex, Purina, Quest Nutrition, Seventh Generation, Slim Jim, Snuggle, Starbucks, Vitamin Water, Zico Pure Coconut Water, and many more (check out the list below).

The new additions more than triple Amazon's roster of Dash Buttons, which let you re-order things you always use—like paper towels, laundry detergent, coffee, and water—with a simple press. With these new Dash Buttons, you'll have that same convenience when ordering things like sunflower seeds, vitamins, office products, pet supplies, feminine care products, batteries, tea, soda, juice—and rubbers. When you see that your supplies are running low, just press the Dash Button to order more.

Amazon first introduced Dash Buttons a year ago today, and while some initially thought it was an April Fools' Joke, the Web giant is serious about the idea and said customers are on board.

"We're thrilled with the positive response we've seen for Dash Buttons—and we heard loud and clear from customers that they wanted more brands, more categories, and more products in the program," Amazon Dash Director Daniel Rausch said in a statement. "We're excited to now offer over 100 Dash Buttons representing top-name brands across dozens of retail categories and thousands of product options."

He added that over the past three months, Dash Button orders have grown by more than 75 percent, and customers are now collectively using the handy buttons more than once a minute.

Prime members can get their own Dash Buttons for $4.99 each, but they're essentially free because Amazon will give you a $4.99 credit once you place your first order. But don't worry; you won't be inundated with bags of Doritos and Slim Jims. You'll get a notification with every order, and can change the product associated with your Dash Button at any time.

The new lineup of Dash Buttons also includes: Ageless La Cure, Air Wick, Airborne, all Laundry Detergent, Angel Soft, Aquaphor, Arm & Hammer Cat Litter, Blue Sky, Brita, Burt's Bees, Caleb's Kola, Carefree Feminine Liners, Dasani, David Sunflower Seeds, Derwent, Downy, Eagle Pack, Garnier SkinActive, Green Works, Hansen's Soda, Holistic Select, Honest Tea, Hunt's Tomatoes, Illy Coffee, Jolie Paris, La Roche-Posay, L'il Critters Vitamins, Litter Genie, MegaRed, Milk Baby by Milk & Co, Milk by Klim by Milk & Co (men's line), Move Free Joint Health, Mucinex, Nature Valley, Near East, O.N.E. Coconut Water, Ocean Spray PACt, Old Mother Hubbard, Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn, OxiClean, Pure Leaf Iced Tea, Quaker, Quartet, Rayovac, Rid-X Septic Treatment, Schick Men's Razors, Schick Women's Razors, Schiff Glucosamine, Solid Gold Pet Food, Stacy's Pita Chips, Stayfree Feminine Pads, Vanity Fair Napkins, Vichy, vitafusion, Wilson Jones, and Wisk Deep Clean Laundry Detergent.

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. 

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes. 

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app. 

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth. 

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light. 

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
