Surviveware Biodegradable Wipes for Men or Women

When Surviveware says these wipes are perfect for posterior pampering...they are absolutely right! I have a rare medical condition called short bowel syndrome, which basically means that I have to “go” every hour, 24/7/365. This requires a whole lot of daily scrubbing of already-sensitive skin, sometimes during episodes of “diaper rash” (yeast infection), leading to painful skin degradation and ulcers. I’m a physician myself, so believe me when I say that I’ve literally tried every bathroom and body wipe available in the US. Finding these wipes has changed everything for me (in that area) in the most positive way I could have imagined. These wipes are SO soft. They clean skin very well, without needing to exert a lot of pressure. They’re also quite large, so while they’re more expensive than some other brands, I only need one wipe to get the job done, so in the end (pun intended!), I actually save money buying these instead of cheaper wipes, which don’t work nearly as well. They’re very strong; no ripping or tearing while using them. Since I started using the Surviveware wet wipes, my skin has significantly healed: no more painful ulcers. And when I do happen to get a yeast infection/diaper rash (much less often than before, BTW) leaving my posterior’s skin tender and very sensitive to touch, I no longer experience the stinging or burning that I used to (from the added fragrances, alcohol, and other unnecessary chemicals or ingredients in other brands of wet wipes). Another big plus: in the large multiple-wipe package, the last wipe is just as wet as the first! (I buy these in large packs for home and in individual packets for going out.) Most packs containing multiple wet wipes have a sticky resealable tab to (ostensibly) keep the wipes moist; however, in most other brands I’ve tried, usually the bottom 1/3 of the wipes inside the pack are either all or partially dried out, by the time you get to them. Not Surviveware’s. While their multi-wipe pack has a (very) sticky seal tab as well, it also has a hard plastic “box” covering the tab that clicks tightly closed, ensuring that the last wipe in the pack will be exactly as wet as the first. (Another money-saving feature.) The individual packets with one wipe are small and thin; I can fit several into a small handbag. And the little packets themselves are understated, mostly black...they don’t scream out, “Hey, I’m a bottom wipe!” Even my teenage sons will carry these individual wipe packets in their backpacks (or in their shorts’ pockets when they go running or play b-ball pickup games)...and that’s SOLELY because these packets are so understated/black. All 5 of my kids use these wipes for everything else they’re advertised to do. Since all of my kids are involved in multiple sports, they say these wipes are lifesavers when they simply don’t have time after PE, practice or games to shower, before going to class or to another event. Finally, I am happy to support this small business, primarily due to their commitment to improving the environment. I like the fact that these wipes are biodegradable (although I don’t flush them); they’d be a great asset on camping trips. And of course, since bamboo is a natural, renewable resource, these are so much better for the environment than is paper. Their customer service department is excellent. They respond to questions almost immediately. When I bought my first multi-pack, I got a text-in coupon with my order for 5 free individual packets. I even received a hand-written note, thanking me for supporting their business. In closing, there are many reasons why I give Surviveware wet wipes a solid 5-star rating. My personal reasons are different than most, but there are surely many other customers out there who have SBS, short gut/short bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or other GI conditions (such as frequent diarrhea as a side-effect of chemotherapy for cancer, etc.). Their quality of life could be significantly improved as mine has been, just by reading this review. People don’t usually discuss this topic in public, usually out of embarrassment. And it might sound silly to healthy folks. But for those who are going through the same medical issues that I have been and always will be dealing with...it’s a really big deal to find a great, pain-relieving product like this. Plus, my tweens and teenagers—girls AND boys—LOVE this product, and will not only use these wipes at home, but will actually carry around with them these understated, small, individual, plain black packets: to school, camp, sleepovers, camping, running, sports games and practices...anywhere they go. Thank you, Surviveware! If I could give you 6 stars, I would!

These things are great. Camping, biking, running, or just running late: Basically any situation that you don't have access to a shower, these will get you through the day. They are large, durable, smell great (but not overpowering), retain their moisture well in the packaging, and the coolest part: they are biodegradable. They are thinner than the competition, but still thick enough. I used these daily for about a week due to an allergic reaction I had to underarm deodorant. Just one of these mid-day or after sweating kept me from smelling like BO in my office. I've since used them camping, and after working out if I didn't have time to shower... they are amazing. Perhaps you've used some of the competition in the past. Here's how the SurviveWare wipes compare to ShowerPill and DUDE Shower Wipes: - Size: SurviveWare wipes are larger at 8" x 12", compared to 8" x 9" of both ShowerPill and DUDE. - Thickness: Both ShowerPill and DUDE are thicker than SurviveWare. - Durability: All are about the same: one wipe will last a wipedown of the 'stinky areas' of the body, though you'll use multiple wipes if you want full-body coverage. - Packaging: ShowerPill and DUDE offer individually-wrapped options, which are really useful for portability / when you can't carry around a large pack of 30+ wipes. The SurviveWare packaging is more eco-friendly and keeps wipes moist, but the opening to draw the wipes from is small and can make withdrawing wipes difficult. - Flushability: Only SurviveWare wipes claim "flushability" after use (I still wouldn't -- there is no wipe out there that you should flush, no matter what the claim is). - Biodegradable: Only SurviveWare wipes are biodegradable (compostable in 28 days). - Cost: SurviveWare is way less expensive than the competition! Overall, I suggest SurviveWare wipes for your office, home, gym bag, and campsite. I hope they offer an individually wrapped option soon, but in the meantime, both ShowerPill and DUDE will hold you over for the rare occasion you need a single portable wipe. Stay clean my friends!

These biodegradable wet wipes have quickly become a staple in my outdoor adventures. Not only do they offer exceptional performance, but they also align with my commitment to environmentally conscious practices. The quality of these wet wipes is outstanding. They are durable, soft, and gentle on the skin, making them perfect for various uses, from cleaning hands and face to freshening up during camping trips. The moisture level is just right, leaving me feeling refreshed without any residue. What sets these wet wipes apart is their eco-friendly nature. I love that they are biodegradable and break down naturally, minimizing their impact on the environment. It's a relief knowing that I can enjoy the convenience of wet wipes without contributing to plastic waste. The packaging is thoughtfully designed, with a resealable closure that keeps the wipes moist and prevents any drying out. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in my backpack or camping gear without taking up much space. Whether I'm camping, hiking, or simply on the go, these eco-friendly wet wipes have proven to be a reliable companion. They offer exceptional performance while staying true to my commitment to sustainability. I highly recommend these wet wipes to anyone looking for a convenient and eco-conscious solution for their outdoor adventures.

I bought these for a just in case I'm out somewhere and really wanted/needed to freshen up. I decided to try them out to see how effective they are before such a situation came about. Basically this is a large moist towelette. Just like what you'd get in some restaurants for your hands when you're eating a messy finger food. Just larger. I'm about 5'6 1/2 and 160 pounds. It took 3 of the wipes to do what I'd say is close to a rinse. If you're caked in dirt or dust, or have been sweating for hours, you could go through several of them trying to get clean. They're easy to use, just tear off the top of the package. And they're a good value if you don't have other options. As well I'd say they're thick enough for a cleansing unless you rub quite hard. I first saw this product advertised by a prepper and the product name is surviveware. There's your sign. It's going to be just enough.. So, don't expect the same results as a shower or bath and you won't be disappointed. I do recommend them for when you try to expect the unexpected. I'd give them 5 stars as they accomplish their intended purpose but I had thought for my size I'd get the job done with just a couple of them.

I use these for traveling and outdoor recreation. Camping, backpacking, climbing, mountain biking, canyoneering, hiking in the Utah desert in 110 Degree heat. I wish these existed 20 years ago. Next level: - each wipe is much larger than store bought wipes sold in packs at grocery stores. One is plenty for dun body refresh on a 6’ large male. - store bought pack always dry out before I can use 90% of them because they sit for weeks/months between use. I love the individual packing. - easier to carry a few of these while backpacking - easier to store a few in my truck vs a pack of 50. - for outdoor bathroom needs in the backcountry. One wipe tears into multiple pieces easily and I get more use from one of these than 5 baby wipes. - ive used other biodegradable grocery store wipes and these make me feel that other brands might not actually be biodegradable. The others now feel like plastic to me. I feel comfortable burying these in the backcountry. - better body cleaning outdoors vs store wipes. Not sure how these are more abrasive while also softer and sweat absorbent. I’m no longer moving sweat around my body. I’m actually cleaning. - they don’t soak you or feel wet. You don’t feel like you’re wiping yourself down with a Clorox wipe soaked in chemicals. - they leave no residue. Where were these 20 years ago.

Unlike many of the other reviewers, the only adventure that I went on is to an operating room. I recently had moderate hip surgery including a transplant and was left with many restrictions while my joint heals. I am several days post op now and am allowed to shower, my restrictions limit me to the point that I need someone to assist me. I am only 29 years old and am in otherwise great health; I don't want to have to have someone help me bathe myself and I am sure most people who have limited mobility feel the same way. These wipes allow me to do that. Pros: - NO FRAGRANCE!! - Thank you, thank you, thank you! These wipes have ZERO fragrance which when you are on multiple nausea inducing medicines is a godsend. - Large Size - It only takes two of these wipes to thoroughly clean from neck to toes. - Thick - These wipes are ultra thick and are not going to tear or shred as you scrub a dub. - Perfect Amount of Moisture - These wipes have the perfect balance of moisture without being drippy. - Actually Cleans - I feel gross even saying this, but I have not had an actual shower in 5 days. I have used this product every other day and look, feel, and smell clean. This product leaves no residue and there is no need to rinse. Cons: As some others have mentioned, these wipes are a little difficult to get just one or two out of the packaging. If you carefully grab one and do a "sawing" back and forth motion it helps. Mildly irritating but not a big deal. Thank you Surviveware! I am so glad that you make a product that allows me to bathe myself without having to smell like old lady florals or powdery baby butt.

Excellent. It has no smell and feels almost like a towel. The moisture is comfortable.

I take these with me when I go camping, since they perform good and are super versatile. They’re good for when you need to wipe your hands, equipment, or even needing a quick “shower”. I go out on multi-day hiking trips and sometimes showers are not available, these always come through and save me. The wipes are extra large so 1-2 go a long way. You’re not working with a small wipe that you’ll have to use a ton of. They leave you feeling fresh, clean, and smelling good. I haven’t had an issue with comfort or feeling dirty through any of the trips because of these. I’d consider them a staple with my gear and will continue to reorder!

Always keep in sports bag….great stuff to clean up

My son used them for DofE Gold expeditions. They seem to have been ideal.

Bonjour, J'ai acheté 4 paquets, mais les 2 derniers, la sortie des lingettes se fait par 2, 3, je ne suis pas du tout content même si l'imprégnation reste longtemps, la taille est correcte ; un autre reproche c'est le système de fermeture qui ne permettrait pas vraiment de conserver l'humidité, un morceau d'adhésif. Je ne vais plus en commander.

I used this product for a 4 day camping trip without showers. It was a good subsitute for soap and water, and it worked very well for removing sunscreen. There is a slight scent which is very pleasant, not overwhelming at all. And I like that after use, there is no sticky residue left on my skin. Each sheet is strong and stretchable, without falling apart with use. It's a bonus that the product is biodegradable, and the packaging is recyclable. I would highly recommend.

Thick wipes ideal for getting rid of mud ..
