Teeth whitener and deodorant are flying off the shelves as vaccinated singles prepare to date again

• Sales of teeth whitening kits and deodorant have increased as summer approaches.
• Manufacturers say Americans are trying to look their best this summer as more singles get vaccinated.
• Between March and April 2021, condom sales also increased 23.4%.

Hot vax summer is almost here, and Americans are flocking to their local drug and grocery stores to prepare to go outside.

While Insider previously reported that the beginning of the pandemic was notably marked by increased sales of toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and hand sanitizer, spring 2021 has seen a shift towards personal hygiene.

Walmart finance chief Brett Biggs told the Wall Street Journal sales of teeth whiteners and beauty products increased significantly this financial quarter.

"You can tell that the masks are coming off," Biggs said.

In addition to keeping their bodies fresh and clean, Americans are looking to revamp their sex lives, as social distancing measures and lockdown left many people deprived of intimacy throughout the pandemic.

According to CNN, condom sales shot up 23.4% between March 2021 and April 2021. Condom producers say the uptick in sales is likely linked to more singles getting fully vaccinated.

"18-to 24-year-olds can't wait to get their social lives back," Britta Bomhard, chief marketing officer at the producer of Trojan condoms Church & Dwight, told CNN.
