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

Like many of us, I picked up these wipes as a free gift with an order. I already use baby wipes for personal hygiene, so I was familiar with the concept (although using a wipe to clean up after sex was new to me--I usually wash my body and toys with soap and water.) I don't know about you guys, but I HAVE to try anything with the Eden Fantasys name on it. So even though regular old baby wipes would have done the job for $2/70, I figured I had to try this. And I admit, being free cinched the deal. ;-)

First things first, the ingredients. They are listed on the package as follows (it should be noted here that ingredients in food and cosmetics are required to be listed in descending order from highest to lowest concentration.)

Water: H2O. No further explanation needed.

Chlorhexidine: An antiseptic, i.e. kills bacteria. Generally I stay away from antibacterial ingredients such as triclosan, but seeing as chlorhexidine is used in oral rinses I figure it must be safer. If there are any chemists here that know better than I, please let us know!

Glycerin: Assists in cleaning. Some people are sensitive to glycerin. If you're not sure, I would suggest testing it in an area other than your genitals as it can cause yeast infections.

Aloe Extract: Soothing and anti-inflammatory.

Vitamin E: A moisturizer and antioxidant.

Tea Tree Oil: Anti-microbial, natural plant extract.

As you can see, the wipes are free from many common chemicals including parabens, sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), propylene glycol, etc. The only "questionable" ingredient, to me, would be the chlorhexidine. Then again, I'm borderline paranoid about the chemicals I use on and in my body.

So, down to the nitty gritty--how was the experience? Well, when you open the package, you're immediately hit with the scent. I would describe it as a clean, herbal smell. Definitely preferable to baby wipes smell. It IS rather strong, so if you are particularly sensitive I would advise against trying this product. For me, most scents from natural products (in this case tea tree oil) are usually fine, and this was no exception.

I felt like they served their purpose well. I felt fresh and clean after use, though the wipes seemed a bit dry, like they could've used a little more liquid. Do I think it's as good as washing with soap and water? No. I very much prefer that method, but I can see how these wipes would come in handy when a faucet and soap are not near, or when you're just too tired.

Is it worth the price? Well...not really. I hesitate to say anything negative about Eden Fantasy's products, but I have to be honest here. My generic, fragrance free baby wipes would work just as well at 1/12 the price. As a free gift, however...why not? They're certainly more useful than my EF cock ring, which broke after the first use. :-(

These are long gone, and since going back to baby wipes I've realized how much better Eden's wipes are at cleaning up than the baby wipes. I'm also sad to see that Eden is no longer offering them as a free gift. :(
