Before I started<\/span> using a handheld fan, I was a total skeptic. I\u2019d seen the ones that attach to your phone or fit in a bag, and I couldn\u2019t imagine they\u2019d provide any real relief from the heat\u2014and they seemed completely unnecessary. But now that I\u2019ve used the fans on this list, I don\u2019t know how I was functioning without them.<\/p>\n

There are certain scenarios where having a portable fan makes your life so much better: Outdoor concerts, weddings, festivals, amusement parks, sporting events, backyard parties. I don\u2019t live in New York City anymore, but I could imagine having one of these on the subway would be a game changer. Despite their size, they do actually create a significant breeze\u2014in some cases, it\u2019s enough to stop you from getting sticky, shiny, and sweaty. If you want to make it through a ridiculously hot day without your makeup melting or pitting out, you need one of these handheld fans.<\/p>\n
