If you're online and impressionable like me, your apartment is probably flooded with "TikTok made me buy it" impulse purchases that you never use. But that should never stop you from buying the next craze, especially when it's $10. The app’s latest highlight is a sticky gadget that helps influencers “shoot” and the best part is, it doesn’t take up any space in your home because it actually sticks to your phone .
The clutch accessory, called Octobuddy, is a silicone tool that fits perfectly on the back of your phone case and comes with 24 suction cups that can easily stick to smooth surfaces like walls and mirrors. The tool has quickly become a must-have for influencers because, as TikTok’s Kelsey Kotzur (@kelsey_kotzur) noted in an April 6 video, the phone accessory is “perfect for content and solo travel.” That means you no longer have to let strangers take your picture (or leave your phone haphazardly in a window on the street like Gen Z did), and you don't have to worry about discarding the accessory after a few uses, either. According to @itsmariananovak's TikTok, it looks like you can rely on Octobuddy as a reliable tool every time.

You could even take a page out of Greta Wilson's (@itsgretawilson) book and get creative with the placement. The creators put this tool to the ultimate test, attaching their phone to the boat while swimming in open water, and the epic sunsets speak for themselves. Obviously, use extreme caution if you try this trick on your own.

One thing to remember before attaching the accessory to your phone is that once it's on, it sticks to everything. Like, everything .

If you want to choose when to use a functional tool, or you don't want less-than-sightly silicone to ruin your OOTD, some creators have found that connecting two Octobuddy together allows you to remove it from your phone whenever you This sounds more ideal when not using it. To try this trick, all you have to do is glue the adhesive sides together so you can attach one suction cup side to your phone and the other side to a surface of your choice.
