Amazon Prime customers can now buy from more than 100 brands at the push of a button.

Amazon announced it has 78 new Amazon Dash Buttons, which let customers restock products from laundry detergent to Doritos.

The new instant-order buttons, added a year after Amazon introduced the concept, more than triple the number of brands in the program, Amazon said.

New brands added to the lineup include Charmin, Lysol, Illy Coffee, Red Bull, Trojan, Snuggle, Starbucks Doubleshot Coffee, Slim Jim and two kinds of coconut water. Brands including Bounty, Gillette, Huggies, Kraft Mac & Cheese and Tide have been part of the Dash program since last year.

The buttons cost $4.99 each, but customers get a $4.99 credit the first time they use the button to buy.
