Eden toy and body wipes by EdenFantasys - review by Sam (aka Jul!a)

These Eden branded cleaning wipes are a really neat thing. There's less in them than most packages of wipes, but they're easy to carry around.

The package itself isn't exactly discreet if you're looking for people to not know that it comes from a sex shop since it does say "edenfantasys.com the sex shop you can trust" right on the front. It's sprinkled with pink and green shapes all over the package. On the front, there's a resealable flap that really does reseal itself. It won't stick after a while if you like, play with it and peel it back and stick it and peel it and stick it, but assuming you're just going into it for a wipe, it should last at least that long. The back of the package has more information about the site; various features and such. There's an ingredient list of water, chlorhexidine, glycerin, aloe extract, vitamin e, and tea tree oil. If you're overly sensitive to glycerin, you should probably avoid these. It also has a printed date that at first glance would appear to be an expiration date, but is in fact the date the package and contents were put together. Mine was make March 25th, 2011. I'm not sure about an actual expiration date, but I would go by how the wipes feel. If they're dry or start to cause you irritation when they didn't before, get rid of the rest of them.

There are a total of 10 wipes in each package. Even for the original price, that's not that horrible. You'd get a better deal with something like baby wipes, but baby wipes aren't anywhere near as easy to tuck into a purse or travel with otherwise, while these are.

Each wipe is about 7 1/2" square; a good size for a relatively large lube-y mess on one person or for a smaller clean up job on two people. They're also a little stretchy, but only in one direction. If you wanted to rip it in half to share, that's definitely doable. Right out of the package it has an almost fruity smell to it. I can't quite place what the scent is, but I really like it and it's not overpowering and it doesn't stick around on the skin for long periods of time.

Our sex doesn't always get very messy, but I like to use wipes to clean up occasionally anyway. These were more than capable of handling the little bit of lube and vaginal juice we threw at them. As more of a test, or at least something worth being called a test, I took a section of my leg and spread out a few different things to see how the wipes handled them. They were able to wipe out massage oil, a thicker massage product, a silicone lube, and a water based lube with little to no resistance. The only problem I had was with the water based lube, the wipe seemed to reactivate it and it took a little longer to clean up. Afterward, our skin was left feeling clean, smooth, and fresh.

If you're going to use it to clean toys, remember that it's not the final solution. But it is a good way to wipe toys down to get most of the stuff off if you won't have a chance to do a good thorough cleaning for a while. It'll work best on smooth toys without crevices.
