Action Wipes Comments

What People Are Saying

What folks at Burning Man have said...

"The moistened wiping choice of discriminating burners...These wipes
rock! I gave up a hand full of soviet war medals for them, but they were
worth every ounce of Russian pain and patience. Not only are they the
next best thing to actually having a shower, but they clean off playa dust
AND sticky bodily emissions with equal ease. Now there is no excuse for
grody crusty burners: erase 4 hours of white-out build up or last mondays
makeup and bindi adhesive with ease! The wipes easily fit in your pink fur
turban, rubber horse mask or utili...skirt... thingy.In any case they smell
incredible and get the dust out of your cracks at the same time! Everyone
will know you are an epicurean burner with gourmet sensibilities when
you proudly pull out these fancy alternatives to Huggies and Pampers. I
really did love them and gave them away and turned people on to them
all over the playa. Actually I got the comment a few times that I just
looked too fresh and clean. They were great. Thanks so much for the
wonderful gift."

"Oh my sista-- let me tell you the smells and sighs of delight from all who
touched your wipes!! Found some left overs JUST before Exodus and we
passed them out on the 5 hour trek out of BRC. Handed the remaining
wipe packs to the Head of Exodus upon final leg departure...he made me
stop the rig and get out to hug me with gratefulness! They had an 8hr
white out that night and from what I hear, the wipes saved their brains
from frying of dust! Honestly the best time for use was during a wind
storm on a hot day. Open up the pack, dispense one large & strong wipe,
open and place nose and mouth of face into wipe...take a BIG BREATH of
delight! The trick is that one can take a breath! Albeit, ANYTIME was a
good time at BM to use the wipes. ;-) Men made most of the comments of
smell....Next up to bat-- bet you did not know this about the wipes....At
home upon return I washed a bunch of costumes and out of the dryer
came 3 clean wipes! Obviously dirty, I shoved them in my pockets and
washed them by accident. They no longer smell, but the strength and
durability of the wipe lasted the wash and the dry! They are still soft and
user friendly for cleaning...A good "green" way to use the wipes."

"The wipe saved my life and many others at the Burn. Throughout the
dust storms and hot weather it was a blessing to have them. I had an RV
at the Burn and water was running low which the wipes helped with the
H2O conservation. Thanks for your gift."

"Thanks also to Martha Van Inwegen from Life Elements for sending me a
big box of towelettes which were awesome for cleaning/freshening up on
the playa. While I had to hand carry a lot in my backpack across the playa
when I did the long walk from the airport to our camp, I don't regret it as
everyone I gave a pack to, loved them, and I loved them myself."

"I loved the wipes, they were so much bigger and more refreshing than
the store brand unscented that I brought along. I loved them so much
that I ran out in the first few days."

"Many thanks for your generosity of providing the wipes, massage cream
and linen mists ~ they were all a fabulous hit! I had various responses
from people, including a couple of people that were at best neutral about
using a wipe ~ until they smelled them ~ and then they were thrilled! The
weather was appalling at the due date and time of our project with 75
mph winds and dust like you would not believe. Still, 20 women showed
up and were treated to an adoration. Each one was cleaned up with your
towels and some assortment of lotions applied. Their reaction to the
towels was fantastic and I gave each of them a sleeve of towels to take
away."

"I want to thank you for your fabulous product! I believe these [wipes]
would be perfect for those not able to use conventional bathing. Last
week I took a bad fall and broke both bones in my ankle. I am bed bound
for now, and banned from a proper bath. My [Burning Man] friend came by
to see me, and brought me a fantastic gift, your wonderful Body wipes. I
have been using them during my convalescence and have found your
product to be the BEST Body wipe available! They soften my skin and
leave me feeling refreshed and clean. The uplifting scent raises my mood,
and leaves me with a positive renewal. Your gentle formula has given me
a way to cleanse without the hassle of a messy sponge bath and without
the repercussions of Baby wipes. Baby wipes leave my skin stinging, no
wonder why babies cry! I was left with a rash and have never liked the
scent. Thank you so much for sending me more of your incredible
product!! I am excited to know I no longer have to suffer with Baby
Wipes, but can look forward to a rewarding cleanse with your Awesome
Body Wipes!"

"Your wipes were a HUGE success on the playa. Some people told me
“this is the best playa gift I’ve ever received”.

"I only used a few, surprisingly, and I think it's because they're huge --
good for the whole body shower substitute."

"Thank you for sending the box to Hawaii. We LOVED them [wipes]. I use
them after surfing to clean up if I am on my way to another meeting and
also before yoga class."

"The wipes were excellent! I love the scent and the fact that they are
more natural than traditional wipes. I am going to recommend them to my
friends with young children and babies."

"The wipes were a smash hit and very much appreciated by the many
people that got them. Many dust covered, hot people came to our camp
and were so thrilled to get a single wipe to clean up with...and in the
midst of expression of joy and appreciation, I was able to give them an
full package and it was like giving them a $100. People loved them!

Wacky but fun...

" Dear Action Wipes: On the evening of August 28th,
I took your slogan to heart. For those not following your product, the
slogan is "Take them everywhere...use them for everything!"

So, on a camping trip with my girlfriend, I tried to use the Action Wipes
Tent, and was completely soaked after a light rain. My girlfriend scoffed at
my suggestion of the Action Wipes Contraceptives, which lead to her
throwing me out of the previously-mentioned tent. This lead to the real
problems.

After having your wipes fail as Action Wipes Bear Repellent, I needed to
run for my life. I tried to use the Action Wipes Slip-'n-Slide I had
previously constructed to escape, but wound up tearing through the too-
thin wipes and embedding gravel into my chest and genitals. I think the
Action Wipes Pants were too shoddy in construction here, but the
stitching may have been at fault, in which case, my bad.

I made it to my car, but putting the Action Wipes Fuel Additive into the
tank seemed to have caused the car to stall. I was having trouble seeing
through the windows, as the Action Wipes Window Cleaner left me dry. I
won't go into too much detail involving the final way I got away from the
bear, but suffice it to say that the Action Wipes Hang-glider was the
capstone of my defeat.

On the plus side, I now have a great hat, as I found letting the wipes dry
first was the key to solid construction. I'm avoiding the rain, temporarily,
until updated versions of the wipes are released. In the meantime, I
respectfully request you remove the "use them for everything" slogan
from your product, or add some kind of disclaimer."

My wife's sister had a horrible break in her femur last
month. Action Wipes were appreciated in hospital.
Helped make a long stay tolerable.

Action Wipes to the rescue after a long day on the
mountain bike!

Sleeping in a dust bowl tonight with no showers. Thank
you for the action wipes! I would be so filthy without
them.

"The Action Wipes arrived in plenty of time for my
surgery. Tomorrow will be "one week", since I've not
been able to shower or bathe. I just knew this was
going to be the worst part of my recuperation. Well......
I may never have to shower again! The wipes are
wonderful. They are exactly the right size, exactly the
right wetness, exactly the right soap, exactly the right
texture, and make me feel clean and refreshed. I did
not have to use any water, they do not drip, they
lather like a light soap, but you do not have to rinse
off. There is no residue....just feel so clean. Dries
quickly, too. I may not be allowed in the shower for
another week, but it is not a problem. You have
developed a wonderful product. I will regularly take
them on the tennis court with me for a quick refresh
between sets. My kids will use them for all of their
athletic pursuits, and my friends will use them when
hiking in Arizona. I am sure my grandkids will enjoy
getting an Action Wipe bath in the evening, instead of
having to wrestle them into the tub, every night. Thank
you for sending them so quickly. This is a great new
product, and I wish you much success. "

"I often go to yoga from work and then don't have a
chance to shower again until a few hours later. The
wipes are perfect. I love the way they smell."

"I've used my Action Wipes and loved how fresh I felt
after a big workout."

"I very much enjoyed trying out the Action Wipes, even
took them horse riding and was amazed how, after a
morning spent with horses, I could be ultra clean and
smelling great with the use of one action wipe. Great
stuff!"

"I got my Action Wipes blazin fast. Late yesterday I got
in a ride and a run. Down here in the rugged Alabama
humidity, I was definitely ready for a shower or an
"action wipe". There was no shower handy, so the time
seemed prime to check out the action wipe. I really
liked it, while it wasn't as good as a shower, it did a
zillion times better than baby wipes!"

"I almost forgot to mention a new company called
action wipes. They had a booth at Wildflower. These
wipes are awesome. They make you feel fresh when
you can't get to a shower and you don't feel sticky
after using them. You can also reuse the wipe. It can
be thrown in the washing machine and then sprayed
with the Sports spray, then it is just like new. Don't
take my word for it, check it out yourself". Jaime
Whitemore, Pro Triathlete, 2007 XTERRA USA Champion,
2004 XTERRA World Champion and 2003/04 XTERRA
European Champion

"I have a confession to make. I did not shower while at
the Wildflower triathlon. At least, not until the Sunday
morning after the race. So how did I manage to
survive 3 days in the wilderness without becoming a
walking dirtclod? I discovered these eucalyptus infused
refreshing wipes that literally melted away the dirt,
germs and grime in one simple swipe and left me
feeling like a day at the spa. Because I spend lots of
days at spas, and I'd know. Used these things
morning, noon and evening and they worked great.
They're called Action Wipes. Good Stuff. Check'em out."

"We LOVED your wipes, and I saw both teams using
the spray with big smiles on their faces. This is the best
product we've found to wipe that "icky wrist guard
smell" off our wrists between a game & an after-bout
party. The party smelled like a salon, rather than sweat
& mildew, which is probably a first for us!" Central
Coast Roller Derby Team

"I was amazed when I received an email shortly after
placing the order, thanking me and it was obvious it
was personally written. So nice in an age of
automation! The order I placed arrived quickly and in a
very sturdy box with adequate interior wrapping.
However, it was incorrect. I contacted Action Wipes
regarding the error and immediately received an
apology along with the promise to ship out the correct
order (after being told to keep what I did receive, on
the house) overnight UPS at no extra charge. Just as
promised, I received the correct order, a handwritten
note of apology, and the very next day! I couldn't be
happier. Well done from every angle. I hope as this
business grows larger, that same personal touch can
be retained -- it made a big difference, it's something
that I will remember for a very long time. Thank you!"

"I just wanted to let you know I used Action Wipes and
the Cooling Spray for the first time last night and loved
it! The scent is soothing (like a spa), but not
overwhelming. I felt refreshed and clean after an
exhausting Zumba class. What I thought was really
great though was the fact that the wipes are machine
washable! A great product that’s also great for the
environment – what a combination! By the way, I used
the Cooling Spray to deodorize my sneakers and also
freshen up my car too. I usually hate deodorizers, but
this made my car smell like a spa."

"I love them! The liquid seems a little soapy at first
but it dries quickly. The aroma is SO much better than
baby wipes!"

"Used the spray yesterday at a bug infested end of
year school party. Those annoying yellow jackets were
pestering the kids, so I pulled out the spray and
doused them. Boy did it work! I even sprayed one of
the bees and he was history. The kids loved the smell
and the protection. I think rose geranium is the ticket
for keeping the bugs at bay."

"I loved them (Action Wipes) and especially liked the
spray. We used them during and after the race. The
smell is awesome. Totally refreshing and energizing.
Beat competitor wipes hands-down. Also, very clean
smell and I love that I can use the spray for my
"sweaty shoes". The size of the wipe was great for
after the race (or any sport activity). Liked that it was
more like a towel as we were so grimy after 26miles.
During the race, loved the spray. Great for a quick cool-
down and energizing boost via smell. So refreshing.
The spray for me was awesome in so many ways and I
am still using it at home. Thank you!"

"I gave a pack of wipes to my physical therapist who is
also a pro mountain bike rider. He is on his way to Italy
to ride and he was thrilled to have them! By the way,
those things are incredibly strong!"

"I don't use deodorant, which is usually not an issue,
since I bathe regularly, but on certain days your wipes
are just the right refresher. Love the scent -- not all
stinky with artificial fragrance."

"I totally loved the wipes, they were great. Here's the
only problem. The sticky part didn't stay sticky
throughout my whole camping trip. They didn't dry out,
but they were dripping out of the bag. At any rate, I'd
purchase them again, and will spread the word to my
Burning Man crew. Thanks!" (We are working on a zip
lock bag! In the meantime, please try to keep the label
area dry as best you can...Martha)
