The Product
The saying goes that men perspire, horses sweat, and women glow, but I for one, don't want to maintain that sticky glow for long if I've been exercising. The modern woman maintains her womanly figure by staying active, but that doesn't always mean she has the time for a full-on shower every time, especially if you are only a teeny bit "glowy." Enter in COOL OFF cooling towellettes, the product designed to freshen you up when you aren't feeling so fresh.
The Guts
A mix of cooling and moisturizing botanicals, herbs, and essential oils. What of each of those exactly, I could not find information on.
Price & Packaging
Extremely cheap as a 24 pack costs around $10 on Amazon. They are tiny and compactable as they are individually packaged, making them super simple to slip into your gym bag, or purse.
Effectiveness
In order to truly test out this product, I had to put it to the extremest of tests by getting one of my male coworkers to try COOL OFF during his soccer practice! The verdict? Said male tester's exact words were "What kind of product are you making me use?!" Apparently, the wipes did have a tingling, cooling effect upon application, but did not reduce his sweat at all, and had the rather adverse effect of making him smell strongly of Rub A535. Hmm not so fresh, so clean.
Buy or Ditch?
Judging by my tester's reaction, I would say ditch sadly.
Final Verdict: D

That reminds me of high school gym class. Many of the boys felt funny about showering after class and tried to simply apply more deodorant instead. The results were never good.
After reading your friend's reaction, I think I'd rather try a baby wipe. =)
Hmph. I'd actually like to have this for days where I'm outside running and stuff. Too bad it doesn't work :( Thank you and your friend for the honest input though! Always appreciated <3
This sounds like a good idea.. but too bad it wasn't effective!

I feel like this may work post-gym if I want to freshen up before I put make-up on before class, but doesn't sound like it works well in heavy sweat situations
LOL... good to know.
haha it was kinda funny in a way.
