Good Clean (Pricey) Fun
If this package had 20 wipes instead of ten (for the same or just slightly more cost) I would be able to recommend it with a huge happy smile. Because it's a great product, and very high quality. It's just too expensive for this busy sexual beaver to use on a regular basis.Published: July 15, 2011
Pros:
Smell nice, soft, easy on skin.
Cons:
Expensive.
I have really sensitive skin, so the only time I've used anything besides regular (albeit gentle) soap on my hoohaw is when I go to get waxed. My wax place offers up these lovely unscented, gentle wipes that make me feel like it's officially okay for me to hop up on the table and spread my legs for a near stranger.
Which brings me (sort of) to these wipes.
First impression: They smell really nice, without being overly cloying, perfumey or in any way icky. And they're soft. Like, really really soft. Like a baby blanket soft. I have no idea what trickery of technology and magic makes them feel like this, but I want some for my own.
Scent and Sensitivity (the non-Jane Eyre version): I had no trouble at all using this wipes on any part of my body, which is a rarity. And a bit of a delight. The scent lingers a little, but it's certainly not in a bad way. Beware, though: many people have a sensitivity to tea tree oil which is a main ingredient in these wipes, so be sure to try them somewhere 'safe' (back of knee, inside of arm) before you go putting them between your legs.
Uses: As mentioned, these are great for the body. They're also great for toys. I like the fact that I can keep them in the bedroom and use them to clean off toys before and after play without having to get up and go find a sink.
Cost: This, for me, is the only downside of these wipes. Granted, they're fluffy and soft and smell nice and make me all happy and clean, and there certainly should NOT be a price cap on that. However, for most of us, price is important. And for only 10 wipes, eight dollars seems a little on the pricey side. Or maybe it's just that I have a lot of sex, but I started thinking in my head: Okay, if I used just one of those every time I used a toy or had sex, they wouldn't last half a week. Which would add up, and fast. So, for me, they'd be a great thing to have around as backups, for the occasional, "Damn that sex was so good I can't get up and wash the toys right now" moment.
One More Thing: My only other complaint is that the date stamped on the package was long out-of-date. While this doesn't seem like a huge deal -- I don't know the half-life on fuzzy cloths loaded with tea tree oil but I'm guessing they can live on and work for a long time after their "use by" date -- it is something to consider (especially considering the cost). If I'd bought them, I would have definitely sent them back. UPDATE: The stamped-on date is apparently NOT the use-by date, but the born-on date. I wish that was clearer, but now you know!

Follow-up commentary
20 days after original review
Still like them very much. Have used them all, sadly, and because of the price, I doubt I'll be buying any more. But they worked really, really well.

Eden Wipes - FYI: date on back of package is made on date, NOT expiration date
-
I just received my first package of these, and was confused at first, at why they sent me wipes that expired in november. However, I looked for threads about this subject, and there already several that state this is the MANUFACTURE DATE. I just wanted to make it easier for everyone to see this information. Also, someone has stated they expire 3 years from the manufacture date. Please feel to verify this information as well.
-
I believe that is the info going around about these. I know there were alot of confused people at first, but I think we got it all figured out. Thank you for confirming it though.

Toy/Body wipes good for... lady parts?
-
I was just wondering if these wipes would be good for using on your lady parts as part of your after-fun-times clean up routine?
I'm trying to get better at cleaning myself up afterwards instead of just being lazy. Normally, I'll just get up and wipe with a tissue or toilet paper, but I feel like I could be doing more to clean up. -
I use the wipes down there quite frequently. I use them after play, when I'm on my period, and whenever I feel the need to. They're really handy.

Is this ok to use with fleshlight?
-
If I use this on a fleshlight, will it damage it or safe to use?
-
I am curious to this answer as well!
-
I don't have a fleshlight but, I've used this product on many types of toys with no issues. The only thing is that these are a bit expensive for just a few wipes and they are small.

Toy wipes vs. wet wipes
-
Are toy wipes safer/preferable to something like a general wet wipe? Can I use wet wipes on my toys without damaging them?
-
Quote: Are toy wipes safer/preferable to something like a general wet wipe? Can I use wet wipes on my toys without damaging them?I was asking about that in another thread here. See if there's any helpful information there. You might try comparing ingredients on some toy wipes vs. random wet wipes.
I don't have a definitive answer, though. -
Definitely depends on the toy, but I think general wet wipes are probably fine for toys that you clean with just soap and water. I used to buy wet wipes at the drug store that were "sensitive skin formula" or "hands and face" or something like that to try and reduce the amount of unsafe chemicals in them, and I'd always look at the ingredients list. But I've used general wet wipes on my hard plastic toys with no problems.

UNscented option?
-
I've been looking for a wipe like the Eden toy and body wipes--but I can't stand scents. Please produce an unscented version!
-
Unscented baby wipes? I hardly notice the scent on the eden wipes, though.
-
I agree with Elnoa, I hardly notice the scent at all unless I'm purposely trying to smell for it.

Larger pack?
-
I wonder if they will make them in a larger pack soon. The ten pack does not seem like it is enough.
-
I have noticed them in the free gift section.Personally, I would rather have the free shirt!

volume

Do these come in a large volume package so maybe the price will shrink per sheet?

Quote: Do these come in a large volume package so maybe the price will shrink per sheet?Right now they don't, but if you mention it in the next 'Eden Should Carry...' thread I bet they'd listen! It's a good idea!

Thank you for viewing Eden toy and body wipes review page!
Awesome review, Shanna, I love your style. I think I read in the comments on a different review that the date stamped on the package was a "born on" date rather than an expiration date. I'm glad you like these so much, I'm looking forward to getting some too.
great review, thanks. You are right about the price. They are way to expensive for what you get. We use costco baby wipes. They work very well and cost pennies per wipe.
Thanks so much!
great review! i just got these shipped today online for free gift. ill get em with my assignment order next wk!
Are you able to change your cons/review before the 3 weeks are up? Don't want to keep confusing people.
I'm not sure how to change my review, actually? I don't see a link for that. (I'm guessing you mean that it's not an expiration date, but a made-on date? I hadn't heard verification on that, so I wasn't sure.)
great review
thanks for the review
Thanks for the review! Getting some of these soon to try them out.
Thank you for the review!
Very nice review!
"Married with Children", have you compared ingredients with the Costco ones? I'm wondering if they are also anti-microbial.
good review
Great review, thanks.
