Eden toy and body wipes - wipes discontinued by EdenFantasys - review by quackbuster

I received these wipes as a free gift with a recent purchase. It's hard to be disappointed with something you didn't pay for, so I wouldn't say that I hate them, but I wouldn't purchase them (or recommend for others to purchase them) at $4+.

The ingredients are water, Chlorhexidin, Glycerin, aloe extract, vitamin E, and tea tree oil. I didn't experience any irritation when using them on my body, but those with a glycerin allergy should probably avoid them, obviously.

They're a little smaller than a tissue--about 7"x7" and made of a stretchy, cottony material. They have a faint perfume smell to them, but it's not overpowering (much less noticeable than in most scented baby wipes).

One major downside to the wipes is that they're virtually useless on toys with a lot of texture (like nubs or bumps or major ridges). I tried them on several textured toys and found that the material ripped when I dug my fingernail in to make sure everything was clean. They also don't seem to hold their moisture very well--they dry out fairly quickly, much quicker than baby wipes, feminine wipes, or moist toilet paper.

The packaging also has its pros and cons. On the plus side, it's a nice size and is soft-sided, so it fits into your purse easily. On the downside, it's not the most discreet package if that's something you care about--it says "The Sex Shop You Can Trust" in fairly large letters underneath the logo. There's a small hole to pull the wipes out of (much like those found on the little packages of tissues) that's covered up with a large piece of tape, but I found that it's pretty easy to rip the tape too far by accident, which causes the wipes to dry out before they should. They'll also dry out faster if you don't seal the edges of the tape carefully when closing the package. It might be a better idea to take them out of this package and put them in a Ziploc bag so that you can ensure they last longer.

It's not that I think these wipes are awful, I just think that there are better options for much cheaper--I've used moist toilet paper and feminine wipes to clean both myself and my toys and have never had a problem, and it's considerably more cost-effective than 10 of these wipes at their current cost of $4.99.

I've found another use for these--I've ended up with a few packs since writing my review (from selecting them as a gift with purchases) and they're great for cleaning up minor spills in the kitchen! I still find that they tend to tear when I use them with some toys, but I haven't had any issues using them around the house to clean up small messes.
