Eden toy and body wipes - wipes discontinued by EdenFantasys - review by lilly555

Use
For anyone who’s ever perused the Free Gift Section here on EdenFantasys….Wait, wait, wait did you know there was a Free Gift Section? Well in case you’ve missed it this part of the website can be located by going to the EdenFantasys main page looking at the very top right under “Viewed Items” and “Expert Help” is the moniker “Free Gift Get it Here.” For those of you who’ve never been click on those words and look at the selection.
While there is an assortment of goods listed there they tend to slightly alter from time to time. My favorite item on that list of goods by far happens to be the Eden Wipes pictured below. For 4.99 or as a Free Gift with Purchase depending on which you prefer, you can have 10 handy dandy wipes. They are multipurpose, soft on your skin, and in comparison to other wipes on the market have way less suspicious ingredients.



Scent
Most wipes on the market today smell like three things; alcohol, that soft baby wipe scent, or some sort of artificial perfume like cucumber or lavender. One way or another what they all have in common is their ability to smell fake and give the customer the immediate impression, that yes, this is a wipe. Eden wipes do not strike me as meeting this criteria. In fact the minute I opened my first pack I found it so refreshing to smell something that didn’t seem as fake or artificial as most wipes. I will note that the scent was a tad strong for those of you who have sensitive allergies but, as I enjoy stronger smells so this was fine by me.
So what do Eden wipes smell like you ask? I cannot give you an exact scent so instead I will give you a nostalgic description. The smell like cotton candy at the carnival, fresh water from a spring, with a hint of the tea tree oil one finds in a St. Ives facial product. Sorry that’s the best I could do by way of scent description, I hope it helps.
Quality
While I do use these to clean off my toys after use and theoretically I should be safe just doing that since all of my toys are non-porous I’m not. No offense to the Eden wipes, they strike me as a fairly good quality brand that doesn’t have too many suspicious ingredients to their name but I don’t use this as my only means of sanitation. At the end of the day I will still go about sanitizing my silicone and/or glass toys using soap and hot water on top of the Eden wipes.
Now, Eden wipes are also fantastic in terms of versatility. Not only can you use these wipes to clean your toys or for that matter surface areas in general but you can also use them to clean yourself off after play. I do not recommend this route for everyone though because although most of the ingredients listed below are natural these wipes do contain glycerin. Therefore those of you who are prone to yeast infections of just want to stay away from potentially harmful products probably do not want this near you genitals or to be extra precautious near your toys.
As far as quality goes I have to admit that I have never owned another set of wipes made specifically for toy clean-up. I have, however, owned other body friendly and antibacterial wipes made by other manufacturers. On that note usually when I purchase 10-12 of those wipes in a pack they run for a dollar or two. In fact, if anything the greatest flaw of this product is its price tag, because at 4.99 a pack you can pretty much afford to buy a box of wipes at the local drug store. With this in mind I’m super glad that Eden allows their customers the Free Gift with Purchase option.

[Packaging
The packaging for this product is very simple and serves as a both an avenue of information on the product and an advertisement for EdenFantasys. The front of the package informs the customer of the quantity of wipes provided stating 10 All Purpose We Wipes. It also notifies them of the fact that the product “Doesn’t contain alcohol, Gentle on your skin, Safe for toys, For external use only.” There is even a pink arrow next to the words “Open” making it easier for the product owner to understand that this is a re-sealable package. The peel back lid is both easy to use, easy to store, and works well at keeping the wipes preserved. Case in point: I currently own an unfinished package that was opened two months ago. The wipes contained within are still right as rain without being housed in a plastic baggie for preservation.
As for the back of the package it works to inform the customer who may not already be aware of the community about all the little things that make Eden unique. The top half briefly mentions reviews, the forum, Eden points, etc. while the lower lists the ingredients along with Eden’s business hours and phone number. Now for those of you looking at the very middle of the package and notice a date that looks well past its expiration for your wipes don’t fret. This is the date which the wipes were made not their date of expiration.

These are absolutely fabulous! I make sure to throw these in my cart as a free gift with every order and it has gotten to the point where I prefer these to some of the toys offered with purchase. I’m so grateful to Eden for making these available to shoppers because I use them for everything, not just to clean my toys.
