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

I got these as a free gift with purchase. One more reason I love to shop at Eden.

These are nice simple wet wipes that you can use to clean up before or after getting down and dirty. They can be used on a variety of toys (rubber, plastic, metal, glass, etc) or your body. One sheet is about 7x8 inches and substantial enough that for most things you won't need more than one. Each wipe is well saturated but not wet or dripping. They have a soft texture and ingredients that are gentle on the skin, including Aloe Extract, Vitamin E, and Tea Tree Oil (a great choice for these purposes for it's antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties, even though it is last on the list of ingredients) They are hypo-allergenic but do contain glycerin (which can cause UTIs for some), so if you are sensitive to that watch out. There is no fragrance added but they do have a faint, fresh smell.

Even though they are labeled "all purpose" these wipes clearly are not meant to be your primary cleaning method. Above all this is a convenience product, something to throw in your bag as you're packing up your gear, not something you regularly use when you're at home with access to more economical and planet-friendly options. They are great for on the go, refreshing yourself before the fun starts, or removing water based lube or bodily fluids from you or your toys without any hassle. Look elsewhere when trying to remove tougher substances (oil, wax, etc) or for serious sterilization. They are also not for cleaning all types of toys, especially not leather.

Personally I do not mind that there are only 10 per pack, because I've noticed with other wet wipes that when the package gets too big, the seal breaks and a portion of the wipes dries out. 10 per pack keeps the pack small, light, and easy to carry. You could even fit it into a small purse if so desired. This isn't something I'd want to buy in bulk, but rather something I'd want to have nearby for a quick cleanse when I'm away from home.

Of course, it is essential that the wipes stay moist, and the seal on the package is well designed for this purpose. You pull up a tab and lift up the clear sticker to access the wipes. As long as you're not frantically ripping it off, this seal should last you as long as the wipes do. If you want to be extra careful, tuck them into a pocket in your bag instead of leaving them to float around with other items.

The rest of the package is basically an Eden Fantasys ad, which is understandable. The color scheme doesn't particularly suit my tastes, and having the "Sex Shop You Can Trust" motto right across the front won't please those who are worried about being discreet (though discretion and advertising don't really mix anyway), but overall it's tolerable. Based on package and name alone I find the Afterglow wipes to be much more visually appealing.

Right now they are listed at 4.99, so the cost per wipe is roughly 50 cents. There are other products that win hands down on cost per use for regular cleaning. But for convenience, something that I'm going to use every once and awhile and be grateful to have with me on the go, I would say these wipes are worth it. Even more so if you can get them as your free gift.

Wow! Went through these a lot quicker than I expected, but they are serious life savers if you are away from home. I'm definitely ordering more. Be careful closing the package as it gets empty because there will be more room for air to get trapped inside. Compress it completely before you seal it so that they don't dry out. My last one dried out but you can just add a bit of water and it will still work.
