AfterGlow toy and body wipes - wipes discontinued by DevineToys / AfterCare - review by Dawn (Lilac Distraction)

Use

These are the best things for lady parts since sliced bread (which isn't that great for lady parts, but you get what I'm saying). Why are they so amazing? Well, you know how sex gets messy and leaves your lady area feeling like you need a little help down there? These wipes take care of all the lube and natural juices down there leaving you soft and squeaky clean. I mean, a little post-coital cuddling is always nice, but it's a lot nicer when you're not fighting the urge to run off to the bathroom. Not to mention, some lubes get icky after you're done handling your business and it's always good to get those off after your sexy romps so you don't want around with dried up lube vagina. This is also the same deal when it comes to toys. If you're like me you don't stop going until you can't go anymore. After that you're far too lazy and blissful to even think of getting up, much less go stand over the sink and wash something. Again, these wipes come in to save the day. Hey, they work for our male friends as well. Due to their mechanics they tend to make some messes on you and themselves during sexytime. Here you go. Hand them a sexy sexytime wipe and everyone is happy.

You don't even have to be doing anything sexy to appreciate these wipes. I use a silicone Moon Cup and these are a little tricky to get clean in public restrooms, or bathrooms where the sink is 5 miles from the toilet. Instead of wiping it off with toilet paper you can grab one of these, give it a good wipe, and confidently put everything back into place without having to worry about whether it's as clean or germ free as you need it to be. Also, in between cycles you can keep yourself fresh and clean throughout the day without the worry of harsh perfumes and irritating ingredients. Honestly, if you have a vagina there's no reason not to have these.

Here's what's in them:
Water, Propylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, PEG 14M, Polysorbate 20, PEG-40, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Bergamot, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

Water is, well, water. Propylene glycol is a natural organic alcohol with skin conditioning properties. Aloe helps to soothe irritated skin. Bergamot provides a natural citrus-like fragrance and also soothes irritated skin. Chlorhexidine digluconate is an antiseptic. Castor oil helps to moisturize.

So, we don't have terrible ingredients here even though some of the ones listed are a little shady. I trust this company with what they do, actually.

Practicality

You have two options here. The resealable pack contains 20 wipes, while the individual packs contain 24 all together. Both are quite useful, but if you plan on using these for sexy adventures you might want to stick to the resealable one to avoid all of the excess packaging. The individual packages may be more useful for travel or if you're going to use them for feminine upkeep, but I certainly have no problem toting around the resealable pack around in my purse so I can always have a bunch handy in case . . . disaster strikes? Plus, the individual ones are pretty expensive compared to the others. If you want to carry some around just throw a couple wipes in a plastic bag. Thrifty.

The wipes are 7.9" x 5.9" in surface area. (I'm not sure why they don't just say that they're 8" x 6".) This assures that you have quite a bit of room to work with. In all of the activities that I regularly take part in there's never a time where I need more than one. They're the Bounty of sex wipes, really. The only slightly inconvenient part about them is that they're not flushable. They don't say that they're not, but it's best to just assume that they're not.

Performance

I enjoy that these are anti-bacterial unlike the Eden wipes (no offense there). The main reason for this is because I do use them for my menstrual cup and those can do some yucky things to you if you don't get them clean. (BV is a bitch.) It's also a little insurance when it comes to toys. Is this going to get them really clean? No. It's just going to make them easier to clean. You shouldn't use this as a standalone method. Just use it to de-gunk everything so your toys are easier to clean afterwards.

I really love these things. They're honestly the best I've tried. Better than the Eden wipes, baby wipes, and 'feminine wipes'. No added fragrances is a huge plus because fragrances can screw everything up. I'm highly sensitive down there and these actually make everything better instead of worse. I really don't have any complaints in the performance department.

The smell from the natural bergamot is nice, too. It's slightly citrus, but not like some lemon Pledge or anything. It's not really orangy either. It's a nice blend without being too crazy. It's highly refreshing and energizing and adds to that super clean feeling. It doesn't linger on the skin for very long so there's no worry about feeling like you've been smuggling fruit in your underwear.

Overall, I'm highly impressed. These led me to purchasing the rest of the line by these people and I'm really glad I did. Reviews on those products are coming soon.

After another one of their products caused me some horrible irritation I decided not to use these. The Eden wipes are a lot better because their ingredient list is super simple and they're a lot cheaper and still do the job. Sticking with those now, instead.
