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

Toy clean up is very important if you don't want germs to proliferate on your vibrating friends. We all know this, but sometimes it's hard to convince yourself to actually get out of bed when you're blissed out after a great play session. This is when you want these toy wipes in your naughty drawer. For external toys, particularly those that you don't share, you can use this as your sole cleaning method. For insertable toys, even if you prefer to do a more thorough cleaning or sterilization of your toys later, a quick wipe will at least remove any residue and allow you to put off the chore until morning. This toy can also be used for personal cleaning, though it is for external use only.

Each wipe is about 7" square, though it is hard to say exactly, since the material is a bit stretchy. They come in a travel-friendly packet that is 3 1/2" by 5 1/2", and about 1/2" thick. I am usually very sensitive to fragrances, but I actually find the mild floral scent of this product somewhat pleasant, and it fades quickly.

The ingredients are Water, Chlorhexidine, Glycerin, Aloe Extract, Vitamin E, Tea Tree Oil. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic commonly used in mouthwash and skin cleansers, and is not believed to be harmful in low doses. However, it is possible for individuals to be over-sensitive to it. If this is the case for you, then you can still use this wipe for toy cleaning as long as you rinse it off before you use it next on yourself. Glycerin is an ingredient frequently seen in lubricants, and is now starting to be recognized as unhealthy for the vaginal tract. As this wipe is for external use only, it should not cause problems for any but the most sensitive women, as the concentration is probably lower than the amount of glycerin in most of the items in your shower. Aloe Extract and Vitamin E act as skin moisturizers. Tea Tree Oil is known to work as a bactericide and fungicide, and is the likely source of the fragrance.

I received these wipes as a free item along with a recent order, and I am very pleased with them. I do not use them for personal use, as I prefer to just use tissues for that, but for toy cleaning, these are very handy to have nearby and do not take up very much room in my Naughty Drawer. I find these wipes especially useful for my Lelo Mia and Lily vibrators, since they are both non-waterproof clitoral vibes. I don't have to worry about liquid getting where it shouldn't when I use these wipes on them.

The one toy cleaning procedure they are useless for is cleaning lint off of a silicone toy before use. All that happens is that the lint gets pushed around - but that's the fault of the silicone and not the wipe.

Even though I still think they are overpriced to purchase on their own, I get a free packet with every order, and that seems to be keeping me well supplied. I use these all the time, particularly with the Lelo Mia. I've also used them with one of my smooth glass dildos. (For textured ones, I'd want to follow up with soap and water to be sure I'd gotten everything.)

One additional use that's not sex toy related is to wipe down the keyboard and touchpad of my laptop periodically, as this is a place where germs can proliferate.

I did try switching to baby wipes for a while, as they are definitely less expensive, but the baby wipes have a soapy feel to them that is less pleasant than the clean feel of Eden wipes. I'm not sure I'd pay full price for Eden wipes if they stopped being available as a free gift with order, but if the price came down even a little bit, I'd make sure I always had a supply of them in my naughty drawer. This is a great quality product, and I love it.
