Playtex Sport Body Wipes
The fine folks at Crowdtap and Playtex sent me FREE samples of Playtex Sport Body Wipes to try and to share with my friends. The idea is that these wipes allow you to clean yourself up when you don't have access to water or time to use it. It's a reasonable idea, and the wipes themselves are decent quality, but the garish pink package makes them look like feminine hygiene wipes, so both I and my friends, who are all conservative middle-aged types, felt uncomfortable with the idea of anyone seeing them. Worse, the scent is too strong and icky-sweet, which might be ok for a 12 year old but not for grown women who use nice perfume and bath products. None of us are ever in circumstances where we don't have other ways to clean up, so for us this isn't a useful product. However, for someone who IS in that sort of situation, if you can stand the smell this would be a good product to have. If they come out with an unscented version, I'll be able to recommend them to those who can use them without hesitation; we Americans do love our wipes.
