AfterGlow toy and body wipes by DevineToys / AfterCare - review by Lilith Desiderata

After the carnal wrestling is over and done with, I happen to be one of those gals who is content to remain splayed out in bed in a state of naked bliss. I don't like having to make my way on unsteady legs, stumbling like a drunken baby giraffe, in order to rinse off my toys in the bathroom sink. Hence, the idea of Afterglow toy tissues as a quick, hygienic cleanup option appealed to me considerably.

Arriving in an attractive box that mimics a Devine toy box, the 24 wipes are individually packaged, which is wonderfully convenient. I kept a few in my bedside drawer, a few in my purse, and a few tucked into my suitcase; a pre-emptive measure for the occasional weekend trip with my boyfriend.

The texture of the moist tissue is very soft, but it has durability like cloth. I stretched it, twisted it and pulled it and it didn't shed any fibers, so I felt pretty safe navigating it around toys like my Snuggle puss, which has a lot of curves to cover.

I love that they aren't scented, unlike a lot of "feminine wipes" currently on the market. I don't like my nose assaulted with a barrage of perfume while I'm tidying up post-coitus. My partner and I also have sensitive skin, so the lack of weird scented chemicals was most welcome for our naughty bits. The tissues are a decent size, roughly 8" x 6", and they are good for cleaning a few toys at one shot. You should, however, always use a new, separate wipe for a toy that has been in someone else, or one that has been used for anal play (in addition to a thorough cleaning once you're up and moving again).

I've fallen in love with Afterglow and its versatile uses. I would give, and have given, wipes to friends to try after their own romantic interludes. The tissues are also available in a multi-pack of 20, which are not individually packaged, but come in a re-sealable pack which makes them a great bedside addition.
