Review: Wet Ones

It’s back-to-school time, do you know where your germs are?

Germs are a huge contributor of back-to-school illnesses for little ones and as our little dude enters school for the first time, we want to keep him as healthy as possible. So, when Playtex contacted me for a Wet Ones product review and giveaway for the fabulous readers of this here blog, I was more than happy to check them out.

The product they gave me to review was a Wet Ones on-the-go container that fits in standard size cup holder. Initially, I had planned to test out this feature by looking to see if it would fit in a stroller cup holder, external beverage holder in a back pack and so on to really test it’s functionality as an on-the-go container and then to tell you about how we used it.  (It does indeed fit all of those places.)

However, our son decided last week that he was just going to start going to the bathroom on his potty instead of his diapers (whether we were ready or not) and Wet Ones came to our germ rescue. As these wipes kill 99.99% of bacteria we put one in each bathroom and used them to clean up the messes of the ill-developed aim of a 2 year old. We also used them to clean mommy and Little Dude’s hands before we got to the sink for a serious cleansing. I feel so much better having these on hand knowing that we are making this whole toilet training process as germ free as possible.

In addition we took these to the fair with us to wipe off our hands after we pet all of the animals and after my curious little one took to investigating the animals’ stalls/cages.

I think Wet Ones is a great product to have on hand when you aren’t able to get to soap and water for young and old alike. The product I reviewed was “Fresh Scent” however they do have offer an unscented variety via their “Sensitive Skin” line.

Note: Please read all instructions on the container about initially feeding the wipes into the opening. No need to get your finger stuck like I did.
