Playtex Sport Body Wipes Review


Recently I was offered the opportunity to sample and share Playtex Sport's newest product, the Playtex Sport Body Wipes though a program offered by Crowdtap.

There are two purchasing options for these wipes :

1 - Box of 20 individually wrapped cloths $2.99
2 - Resealable travel pack with 24 wipes $2.99

For my Sample and Share I received 12 individually wrapped wipes and after using and sharing them all I have bought several more packages. I prefer to keep the individually wrapped wipes in my purse and gym bag, as well as in my daughters backpack and softball bag. I keep the travel pack in the glove box of my car.

I have used them at softball games, soccer games, after walks, at the gym, while traveling, at the park, at a concert and I have shared them with friends at all of these occasions. Everyone that has used them including the men I have forced to try them, has enjoyed them and found them to be a quick and easy way to freshen up when a shower is not available or time is limited. I have really enjoyed trying this product and the opportunity to sample and share is much appreciated. I like these wipes a whole lot and will keep them handy from now on.

Here are a few things I would like Playtex to consider.

1 - Size - I do believe these could be a touch bigger without becoming too bulky. To me they are no bigger than a baby wipe, but my body is much bigger than a baby's. Yes, I can use two but then that defeats the purpose of an individually wrapped item. I actually think that you could make the actual wipe a few inches bigger and still fit them in the current packaging since when I feel them in the package there seems to be plenty of spare room.

2 - Scent - Again, I really enjoy the scent but I would enjoy an unscented even more. Sometimes I like to wear perfume and an unscented version would not interfere with my perfume. Also there are many people that are just sensitive to certain scents, or who have allergies and/or asthma who would have a hard time using these wipes the way they are.
In addition I think some people may enjoy other scent options. In addition a hypoallergenic version may be helpful as well.

3 – Sex – Right now, as they are, they are really meant for just us women. I understand that Playtex products in general are for women but I think this is a product could bridge the sex gap. My husband really liked the wipe but said he would never carry a package that looked like that. I see two fixes that could help. A – Playtex could redesign the packaging to have a black background (instead of pink), with the woman in pink and add a man’s body in green. If this was done though I think you would still have to make the word Playtex much smaller on the package. B – Introduce a similar line for men through a sister brand such a Schick. This would definitely make them seem more masculine but I don’t think they would sell as well as if Playtex adapted the original packaging.

Well these are just some of my thoughts on how Playtex could make their Playtex Sport Body Wipes even better than they already are. But just to be clear, I really do like this product! I have shared samples with many of my friends and family and they also enjoyed using them. Several of my friends have already bought them!

Making Money While having Fun From Your Computer


Money just doesn't grow on trees! Being a stay at home mom, I am always looking for little ways to cut costs or add a little to the family coffers. One of the things I do and have had some success with is on-line surveys and word-of-mouth programs. These are great ways to earn a little cash and get to sample products way before they're released to the public.
Below I will detail 3 sites which I find to be the most rewarding. By rewarding I mean that they're fun, easy and yes they do reward me for my efforts.

They also have opportunities to Sample & Share products as well as host product parties. For instance, right now I am doing a Sample & Share for Playtex Sport Cleansing Wipes.

EXPO (www.expotv.com/raf/mrstrod)
Expo is an online video community of consumers who share their unbiased, honest reviews and opinions through various word of mouth programs with their peers and brands. You simply make a short video review of a product (many of which you already have and use) and then upload it. In return, they award you points which you can use to shop a wide selection of great gifts or even cash in for Amazon.com gift cards.In addition, through their Tryology program you can receive free products to review and earn points for. And you can also do surveys through their Outlook Panel.
