BabyGanics Fine & Handy Hand & Face Wipes Review

I am so pleased to tell you about a fantastic product that I have gotten to review in exchange for my honest opinion!  I had never heard of the company BabyGanics, but when they agreed to let me review their Fine & Dandy Hand & Face Wipes, I was pretty excited, and I will share my thoughts with you.

First of all, here is some important information about the product:

Their biodegradable, SLS, bleach and paraben-free formula lets you clean all of your baby’s sticky messes with no worries.  Plus, special skin conditioners and emollients gently nourish as you clean.  With better skin hydration than the leading brands, you won’t want to leave home without them!

• NO Chlorine, Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates or Toxins
• Specially formulated with natural, plant-based ingredients
• Hypoallergenic
• Pediatrician and Dermatologist Tested
• CLeans sticky hands and faces
• Leaves baby’s skin clean, soft and fresh

Now let me be clear--we have no babies around the house.  The youngest member of our household is almost ten.  We live out in the country, and dirt is a way of life out here.  I'm not complaining--just being realistic.

These wipes arrived at the ideal time.  About a week ago, our water stopped.  We have a well system, and for some reason, the pump stopped pumping water.  We had to go two days with no running water--not a fun experience, I can tell you.  I won't go into details, but using the toilets was not a pleasant experience.  At least we had power, so I didn't spend a lot of time complaining. 

After using the bathroom, we had to either use soap with bottled water (don't try that unless your desperate--the soap foamed up big time, and I had to use nearly a half bottle) or hand sanitizer (my mom did that, and her hands were really dried out).  I remebered these fantastic little hand wipes, and I have to tell you, they did the job!  No one else seemed to want to use them, but I have to say these were perfect.  They smelled good, and they cleaned my face very well.  My hands never dried out, and they felt clean.

Don't let the name "baby" keep you from trying these wipes.  They are perfect for any age, and I think you will find many uses for them.  Each package contains 30 wipes--they are small, but they do the job.  BabyGanics’ Fine & Handy Hand and Face Wipes retail for $4.99 and can be purchased at Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, Amazon.com, Diapers.com and Vine.com.

Be sure to follow the company via social media to keep up with the latest news, deals, and even contests!

I was sent a product in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

The Tripp Trapp® designer’s inspiration came from watching his own young son, Tor, struggle to find a comfortable position to sit in at their family table.

The benefits of the Tripp Trapp:

• Grows with your child
• Allows freedom of movement and encourages play and independence, while still making safety and security paramount.
• Adjusts to the size of your child, ensuring he or she is always at the perfect height to eat, play and interact, with his or her feet properly supported, at whatever age
• Height and depth adjustable seat and foot plate
  • Lifts the floor up to the child - gives stability and ability to move.
  • Chair adapts to the child’s body instead of vice versa.
  • Elevates the child up to the correct height at the table.
  • Child is part of dining experience.
  • Promotes parent - child bonding.
  • Child is sitting ergonomically correct.
  • Longevity of product.

  Manufactured from cultivated beech

  • Strong, solid and durable.
  • Environmentally friendly/safety.
  • Longevity of product.

  No fixed tray

  • Comes closer to the table.
  • Develops hand/eye co-ordination.
  • Socialising.
  • Easy for the child to move.

  7-year warranty on wooden components
