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

The Eden Fantasys wet wipes are practical. And pricey, coming in at fifty cents per wipe. For cost comparison, I looked up a few different brands of baby wipes for sensitive skin. Per unit, most brands came in at three cents per wipe. That's a huge difference.

The downside to purchasing baby wipes is they don't travel well. You have to purchase a second, smaller container for five or ten wipes then drop that into your purse or glove compartment. Most baby wipes are also larger than your average hand wipe or makeup remover towelette, thus it is difficult to be discreet. So, that's all kind of a hassle in and of itself. And imagine the awkward conversation that ensues when a potential hook-up asks you how old your kid is. As you stumble over yourself to say that you, in fact, do not have children, he is forced to admit he was looking at the contents of your bag while he was waiting to get your attention and saw the baby wipes.

Eden's wipes solve all of those problems in one fell swoop. The packet of wipes is not any bigger than your average makeup remover wipe and can easily be hidden in the inner pocket of your purse or a smaller pocket of a carrying case of any kind.

The Eden wipe is approximately 7 inches by 7 inches. This is a large enough surface area to be able to wipe the toy or body part of your choice, fold in half and wipe again. The towelette is really quite plush and soft against the skin. There is no discernible odor other than "clean". It just smells neutral, and not of soap or chemicals. I took one of the wipes out the package as I sat down to write this review about fifteen minutes ago; it is still moist to the touch. When I first removed it from the package it was wet, but not overly wet to the point of dripping off the edges.

The packaging is quite handy as well. It is a resealable foil packet with the ingredients clearly marked, the date of manufacture, and little tidbits about Eden's website. It does have the word "sex" up front and center, nestled between the Eden logo and the pull-tap to open and seal the package.

While these are great for a quick clean up, I still would not substitute them for sterilizing my boilable toys and using condoms on porous/shared toys.

The ingredients are:
Water, Chlorhexidine, Glycerin (tsk, tsk), Vitamin E, Tea Tree Oil

I really like the way these feel against my skin. There doesn't seem to be any problem with the glycerin, so far. I found these are really helpful for clean up during my cycle. I did not experience any burning or discomfort of any kind, which was a nice change from other brands of wipes I've used in the past. It must be the lack of alcohol! They stay relatively cool to the touch and are soothing after a long session.

I think these wipes are the answer to all of the traditional problems with body wipes, minus the cost. The cost is going to end up being a deterrent for me in the long run. I would go through a pack every week and a half, if I've done the math correctly.

I try to grab a pack with every order when I remember to; I've been using them for everything from wiping up spills on the bathroom counter to freshening up the vag during shark week. They also remove my eye make up pretty well when in a pinch.
