We’re used to the phrase “as seen on TV.” We’ve all heard it. We’ve even, perhaps, lived it ... dialing a strange number and ordering the most cutting-edge set of steak knives this planet has ever seen.

Well, did you know there is a world out there full of products that are “unseen?” These would be the types of products not advertised at 2 a.m. or shoved into some end-cap display at a mega outlet store. These are items which offer that unique blend of functionality and practicality. And they are all available at unseenontv.com.

The Web site offers hundreds of products broken down into seven categories.

Here are just three of the products Unseen on TV:

1. Umbrella Draining Station, or UDS ($19.95): Umbrellas are great for keeping you dry on a rainy day, but what do you do with them once you get inside a vehicle or office? Simply insert the wet umbrella (storm-ready umbrella included with purchase) into the UDS receptacle and close the hinged cap. The water droplets are now effectively contained until you decide to empty the unit. Comes in five colors!

2. Dol-Fin Tails ($119.95): Glide through the water like it’s your natural habitat with this new monofin! Made of natural rubber, Dol-Fin Tails feature a hydrofoil shape that help improve a swimmer’s momentum below the water. Dol-Fin Tails slip easily over a swimmer’s feet and secure to each foot with a heel strap. As the fin moves, its web cups the flowing water, powerfully thrusting the swimmer forward. The device also enables a user to stand upright while working the fin, keeping the upper body above water for sports and games.

3. E-Z Bottle Top Remover ($7.95): Become the fastest hand in the bar with the E-Z Bottle Top Remover. This lightweight bottle opener straps comfortably on your palm and prevents hand injuries or soreness associated with constant bottle opening. Perfect for bartenders and servers, the E-Z Bottle Top Remover quickly and easily removes twist-off bottle caps.
