Subject: No time for a shower - check out ActionWipes

By: Jonny F.

Written on: Tuesday May 26, 2009

Message: Note: ontri is not paid in any way by this company but they did send me free samples to try out so full disclosure I was asked to review the samples.

But I really did use them and do give them the thumbs up or I wouldn't post here.

I would define the product as baby wipes for active adults. From the site "Action Wipes are created with a clean, fresh aromatic scent that smells like you just stepped into a spa. They're made with all natural ingredients and therapeutic aromatherapy oils of tea tree and eucalyptus to clean sweaty pores and remove bacteria.

They have a mild sudsing action that doesn't require rinsing, so you're doing more than just wiping your skin, you're actually cleaning it! Quick to dry, it leaves your skin soft - not sticky.

Action Wipes are naturally antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, so they're good for your skin. The gentle formula is safe for your face, sensitive skin, kids, pets and our planet too..."

Anyway, 6 of us went hiking in the White Mountains this weekend and I gave out the samples to use post hike and before we stepped into the pub for food and drink. I would say the description above is right on. They clean you up well enough to get served food, the eucalyptus smell is pretty refreshing and they are bigger and more durable than babywipes.

I told the founder that everyone liked the samples so she set up a coupon code for ontri.com members. If you're interested in checking them out go to http://www.actionwipes.com and at checkout enter the code "ontri" to get 15% off

Or just take a shower!

Message: I bought a few at Wildflower and they are great! Nice to have after a long run or ride when you can't get home quickly to shower, especially if you want to grab something to eat afterward.

Message: Interesting. I really don't like smelling like baby wipes after a long bike ride or run, so I might just give them a try.

Message: You could also probably make some of your own wipes with some thin towels and a solution of water with tea tree oil and whatever other scents you like.

Message: Thanks - some good ideas here. And some other top tips (courtesy of Viz):

IN A RUSH? Cook your breakfast egg in half the time by replacing the water in the pan with commercially available brake fluid which boils at 200 degrees C

BUSY EXECUTIVES: Don't buy a Dachshund. Their amusing sausage shape means they take 50% longer to stroke than other dogs, and time is money.

FITNESS fanatics: When driving to the gym, spend half an hour circling the car park so as to nab a spot as close as possible to the door. That way you won't waste any energy before you embark on your two-hour workout.

DOCTORS. Tired of licking stamps? Simply attach your stamps to the underside of your tongue stick before the patient says "Aah." Hey presto! Free saliva.

KEEP A COPY of Love Actually or Mrs Doubtfire in your medicine cabinet at home. The last five minutes of these films can induce vomiting if toxic substances have accidentally been swallowed.

BUS DRIVERS. If you see an attractive woman with a low cut top at the bus stop, accelerate and come to a halt 50 feet past the stop. You will then have a great view in your nearside mirror as she runs towards you. Finally, accidentally drop her change for a second look.

SLOVENLY householders. Always keep a few 'Get Well Soon' cards on the mantlepiece. When unexpected visitors arrive you can tell them that you have not been well and that's why the house is untidy.

OLD PEOPLE. Each night, go to sleep in the recovery position, potentially saving paramedics valuable time.

BURGLARS. When fleeing from the police, run with your right arm sticking out at 90 degrees, wrapped in a baby mattress in case they set one of their dogs on you.

TRAMPS. Avoid being constantly moved on by sleeping outside department stores and telling the police you are simply queuing early for the sales.
