Chances are, you’ve heard that you should your shred mail before you toss it out. That’s because private information on your bank statements, bills and other precious documents could make you more susceptible to crimes like identity theft and credit card fraud if it got into the wrong hands.
But while using a shredder can be a reliable way to destroy your mail, it’s also messy and time-consuming. For that reason, many Amazon shoppers are turning to one popular business stamp to help keep their information from prying eyes.
With over 8,000 customer ratings and 2,000 five-star reviews, the Miseyo Wide Roller Identity Theft Stamp is one of the best-selling tools to help safeguard your mail. Using dark black ink, the stamp blocks out “large swaths of private information in a quick and clean way.”

To use, just roll the stamp over a piece of paper, and voilà. Its “CONFIDENTIAL” lettering perfectly hides the information you want to conceal.
Since there’s no shredding involved in this process, you also don’t have to worry about cleaning up afterward. So, say goodbye to pesky messes.
Additionally, it comes with unlimited re-inking, and is good for 100 meters of mail. Not to mention, it quickly dries and works “well on all regular paper, envelope and package addresses,” according to the product description. However, the brand recommends not using the stamp roller on “coated paper, glossy paper and paper with rough texture.”

For many reviewers hoping to conceal private information, this stamp roller appears to be a solid solution. One reviewer remarked that the product was a “dream to have to secure junk mail, magazines [and] meds.”
“Ready to use out-of-the-box, and ink dries pretty fast,” the shopper continued. “A bit slower on the magazines, though, but it works. No more shredder noise, [money] well spent!”
Another purchaser echoed a similar sentiment, and was happy with the time-saving and cleaner solution.
“It’s better than shredding because you don’t have to waste time feeding a shredder, emptying the shredder basket and dealing with all the paper dust and mess,” they commented.
Although dozens of shoppers gave the stamp roller high remarks, many others noted how it was only effective on “matte paper.”
“I think this product is a great idea. It really works well to hide sensitive material — on matte paper. Again, on matte paper,” one shopper underscored. “Any paper with a coating or smooth surface is not recommended for serious security.”
