Eric Larsen, Arctic Explorer on his expedition to Save The Poles says: Action Wipes are an important part of an expedition. On my trip to the North Pole, I went 70 days without a shower and 60 days on my trip to the South Pole. Using a product like Action Wipes is an integral component of expedition travel, hygiene and safety.
Jordan Romero, youngest person to climb The Seven Summits says: We didn't take a shower for more than 50 days... only Action Wipes showers. It was great to have them for sure.
Project Kilimanjaro - We Choose to Climb says: 16 women go six days with out a shower, click here to hear the testimonial
Fatty from Fat Cyclist says: I love 'em! Action Wipes are awesome, they're like a shower in a little foil pouch. I just loooove these things!!
Rick Alden, Founder of Skullcandy says...
John Baudhuin, CEO Mad Dogg Athletics says: As you can see from the photo attached, I made it to the top and was happy to have the Action Wipes in my pack. You have a great product and I can't imagine climbing without them.
Gina & Stephen, The Most Epic Trip say: Gina ~ We're living from a tent for five months, traveling in a car for 14,000 miles and spend up to ten hours a day hiking and climbing. With no plumbing and sometimes no water, you can imagine how much in need we are of getting clean.
A small baby wipe doesn't do the trick after being outdoors all day. Martha's Action Wipes are perfect because not only are they the right size for an adult-sized, dirt-covered climber but they aren't heavily scented which keeps us from being bear bait. I only need one wipe to get clean; as it comes all folded up, I simply use one folded side for my face, another for my arms, and so forth, with plenty left over in case you find a particularly dirty area. And as they come in individual packets, you can pack only what you need, thus reducing weight in your pack.
Action Wipes leave me feeling refreshed, clean, and my skin soft- even in dry climates. I was surprised to find that I didn't need moisturizing lotion after cleaning with these, something I would normally need after using soaps. In addition, they work great as multi-purposers; we've cleaned up spills, used them as dishcloths and cleaned up the dust in our car. Then it's rinse off and reuse.
These are the ultimate in getting clean!
Stephen ~ The biggest problem that I have with generic wet wipes are as follow: too small, rip easy, and dry out after one wipe of the skin. The Action Wipes solve all of these problems! I have been using Action Wipes for 2.5 months now while on The Most Epic Trip and I could not be happier to have them along. Every time I go to clean myself I always grab two. One for my face and special areas, in that order, and the other for the rest of my body. It will stay wet enough to clean off any grease and grime while also not tearing in the process. Yes, you could get a generic brand wipe at a cheaper price, but I always found myself using about 5 or 6 of them to get a decent clean feeling, where I only need 2 Action Wipes. Oh, and I almost forgot, they come in single packaging perfect for hauling in a pack and are machine washable!
Arlinda from San Diego, CA says: Action Wipes to the rescue...We had the water turned off to fix a leak and were working in the attic. When we came down, we were full of installation fiber and needed to wipe ourselves off. But with no water what were we to do??? Action Wipes of course!!!
Linda from Kennesaw, GA says: I bought these wipes (as seen in Woman's Day) for my 89-year-old mother. She is recovering from a fairly serious illness and a stay in the hospital. My mother is absolutely THRILLED with these wipes. She starts at her face and works her way down, and as she says, they are still moist by the time she gets to her feet. This is so much simpler than trying to manage a wash pan and cloth. If you ever need an endorsement, I'm here. And please-don't improve them. Anytime people mess with perfection it is a mistake.
Our Response: Thanks Linda! We have an elderly family member with Alzheimer's who forgets to bathe. Action Wipes keep her clean and tidy between the days when she remembers that she's a little stinky. Though Action Wipes were originally created for athletes, they have become popular among our senior friends and persons who care for the elderly as well. We hope our donations to the Alzheimer's Association will help in the search to find a cure.
R.C. stationed in Kirkuk, Iraq says:
[I] Was on patrol and visited a village. The local Sheik said that there was a man with burns all over his body, so I went and checked it out. Since I'm the C.O.'s personal security and personal medic. The C.O. asked me if I can help him. His story is he got burned working with asphalt. I figured he was planting an IED/EFP. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt. So I started by irrigating his burns. Then I needed something to scrub it down. The only thing I had were Action Wipes! So I used those. Then applied cream to heal his burns. Who'd a thought I'd be using 'em (Action Wipes) to treat a burn? Can't leave the wire without a few Action Wipes in my pocket!
Our Response: Stay safe out there R.C.! We support our troops and get many orders from military family members to send to their soldiers over seas. We proudly offer free shipping to APO/FPO addresses and will match all orders that are going to our military heroes.
One of our musical festival friends at Burning Man says: The moistened wiping choice of discriminating burners....These wipes rock! I gave up a handful 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 Monday's 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 onto 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.
And a soul sista says: Oh my sista--let me tell you the smells and sighs of delight from all who touched your wipes! Found some left over 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 cane take a breath! Albeit, ANYTIME was a goodtime at BM to use the wipes ;-) Men made the most of the comments of smell...Next up to bat--bet you did now 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.
One of our favorite comments wrote: 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 oh 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 cause 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.
One 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 version 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.
Our Response: We are terribly sorry for your horrible plight on your camping trip! After reviewing your suggestions, and careful analysis of our slogan, we have come up with a new one... "Whatever you do, Wherever you go." Shall you embark on a similar camping trip in the future you can use Action Wipes while building your tent to clean off before snuggling with your sweetie, or wipe down your scent so bears are not attracted to you (though we must disclaim that Action Wipes have not been tested to keep bears away). On the flip side you can always use Action Wipes to wipe down and clean off after running away from a bear.
We're not too sure how you managed to make a fuel additive, but the re-purposing of Action Wipes as a window cleaner instead of a paper towel is a great idea! And we now have casual hat Fridays at the office where at lunch time we hold a competition to see who made the best Action Wipes Hat.
