The Comodynes tanning towelettes were very quick to use and quick to dry. They don't have much of a smell either. The towel bunches up a bit while applying which can be annoying but overall it was managable.
The color was very natural, but it was definitely gradual. It took longer than the 2-3 hours it said on the package for me.It also requires more than one towel for your body.
For the ease of use and the natural color I would definitely recommend buying it. However I wouldn't expect to get very dark unless you do several applications. For someone who is very fair it very subtly takes the edge off of the "white glow" with one application,without looking fake and streaky.

I have very fair skin, and this product gave me a nice, natural looking tan and it is SO EASY to use! I would not recommend it for those with naturally dark tan skin, as the color may not show up well. It dries almost right away and there is no mess to it at all like lotions and foams. The color is even too, it does not appear darker on elbows and knees. My only complaints are it took longer than 3 hours for the color to show up on my skin and one towel isn't enough to cover the whole body. Other than that, I definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn't like to tan the old-fashioned way!

I think that this is by far the best self-tanner I have ever used. Lotions are way too messy and hard to apply. They leave you streaky and most of them turn you orange. You have to be careful with lotions when applying over the knees and the elbows or else it will come out too dark and won't look natural.

You don't have to worry about ANY of that with these tanning towelettes. They are simple to use - just rub over your entire body or any place that you want tan. You CAN use them on your face, just use common sense and don't put it on your eyes.

I find that I need two towelettes to cover my whole body, but at usually around $1.50 a towel, that isn't bad compared to tanning beds. One tanning session these days will run you $10-$15 plus you have to drive to the tanning salon. Plus the tanning lotions that you apply when using tanning beds that run you $20 and up per bottle.

When I first bought the towelettes I used one a day for the first 5 days to get my tan DARK. After that I would use two towelettes (to cover all of my body) every FOUR DAYS. $3.00 every four days is pretty cheap I think. That averages out to a little over $20 a month which is about the price of two tans if you are lucky. I don't know about you but I used to go tanning 3 times a week, you can imagine how much money and time you will save.

This way it is safe for your body and inexpensive. I would recommend using gloves or washing your hands extremely well after usage because it will turn your palms brown. That would be my only complaint.

I give it 5 stars and two thumbs up!

It actually took 4 applications and still did not get that much of a tan. When they advertised this product on tv they said it will not stain your palms. That is a lie. Plus it leaves streaks and some spots orange looking. This product is not at all as South Beach had advertised. I do not think I will use it again. Very un-happy with the results and the number of towletts I had to use just to acheive a light tan.

I have just tried this product, and I have to say I am very satisfied.
First, how to use the product: it says to take a shower and to moisturize, I'm a guy and don't do the moisturizing thing so I didn't and it doesn't seem to affect anything. Like someone else mentioned I would use a plastic glove so you don't get black hands. Another thing that helps is to start on a large body part (stomach, chest, legs, do NOT start on you face) and work you way out. I would keep coming back to the starting area and pick up some of the moister to spread it out more. Unfortunately I didn't do this the fist time and started at my foot. This caused my foot to be very dark and the solution flowed down my foot making a funny looking cloud affect.
How the product works: it worked well but you definitely need two towels for the whole body. Also I don't know how long the tan will last I just used it yesterday, but other people say 3 to 5 days. This is a bummer, having to apply it more then once a week. But the only real problem is if you are looking for a really dark tan. You would have to apply about 6 to 8 towels. But I actually like the fact that it doesn't change you black at one time, it's subtle so no one knows you used some tanning product. One of the best parts about this tanning towels is the smell and the solution it self. The smell is ok but not strong at all; it's gone in a few minuets. The even better part is there is absolutely no oily feel, I'm the type of person that can't go to sleep feeling dirty or greasy, so I was planning on taking another shower after it dried but didn't have to I felt fine.
This is a really good product just watch how you apply it.

Gone are the days of the tanning salon - as well as spending countless hours baking in the sun - for me. I'm 30 and it's about time to wise up! I tried these the other night, and am very impressed. Although it def. takes more than one towel to do your whole body EVENLY - that doesn't bother me. I'm pretty small/thin - and it took 3 towels, the first time - but I wanted to make sure I did every area as evenly as poss. Within hours, a nice color began to form, went to bed and woke up with a very nice base tan for Mem. Day weekend. Now, on my olive w/ yellow undertones skin - first application was med./dark and noticeably TANNER. I did notice some streaking, but it was very faint, and only because I was not as thorough as I'd thought. So I went over just my arms and legs again, last night and am VERY pleased, this morning. The smell, compared to other self tanners, is minimal and tolerable and comes when the tan starts to develop, I did cover it up w/scented lotion when I went out - I've used other GOOD brands and have been literally sickened and overwhelemed by the smell. And couldn't mask the stench to save my life! Won't ever use them again! This is no fuss - clear towels - can do it and get dressed 10 min. later and go to bed.

The key with these towels, while they do roll up on you and can be difficult - is PATIENCE. Take your time -cover each area as thoroughly as poss. I read a good tip here, when doing backs of hands, hold towel with a cloth or tissue over it to avoid the palms. And if I have to use more than one towel - so be it! It saves me from frying in a tanning bed or spending long hours burning in the sun. Those things aren't safe and will make me look like a leather sofa, before too long. And that's no exaggeration. Air-brush tanning at a salon is a luxury and I will use it for special ocassions - just so expensive.

So maybe this (Comodynes) tan isn't the exact tan you'd get at the beach - I usually tan diff.in the sun - nice deep, golden olive - this towel give me more of a reddish toned tan - I don't care - it looks real and doesn't look orange on me, at all - I'm pleased and hooked for the summer!!

It's the best sunless tanning product I have found.

1. Does not come off on your clothes if you follow the directions. Dries fairly quickly.

2. Doesn't feel greasy or sticky like some others.

3. Looks natural. I have gotten lots of compliments. They think I have been to the tanning beds.

There are a few things that are a little bothersome.

1. You have to be careful putting it on. It can leave streaks.

2. Takes more towlettes than they say. One towlette for each leg and two more if you are going to cover your whole body.

3. You have to have someone else put it on your back to make sure you don't end up with streaks.

4. And you have to move quickly so the towelette doesn't dry out.

But overall it does what you want a sunless tanning product to do.

After reading several rave reviews about this product I figured I'd give it a shot. Prior to using this I got the Mystic tans at the tanning salons. They were fabulous but could get very pricey ($20 a session which lasted for a week). I used those as a basis of comparison for this product.

I did follow the guidelines for getting one of these temporary tans. I exfoliated in the shower and put on Cetaphil moisturizer over my entire body (the BEST lotion I've used to date). About an hour later after I was fully dried I used these wipes.

A couple things I didn't like right off the bat. The wipes are kind of flimsy and tended to roll if fully opened. There was also a weird smell from them, nothing that I couldn't tolerate.

The wipes advertise that your tan will show up in 4 hours. Mine really didn't show up at all. I know that sometimes you have to use a couple before you really see results, so I gave it a second chance. Even went as far as using two in one day (one in the morning and again in the evening). That gave me minor color ...nothing remotely resembling the spray on tans I had come to love from the salon. Oh and that minor tint disappeared in 2 days (not the four days they said I'd get out of it).

Well what else to expect from a product that is only $8? The only at home tanning stuff I've had any luck with is the Neutrogena instant bronzer, which isn't salon quality but at least gets me somewhat tan.

If you don't believe me then try it for yourself ...maybe you'll have better luck. Everyone is different.

I just purchased these towlettes based on multiple positive reviews. I had used L'Oreal's towlettes before and liked them, but everyone seemed to think these Comodynes were better. THEY ARE NOT. They don't smell bad, are easy to use, BUT they don't make you tanner! I have a dance competition coming up and now have to run out and try to find the L'Oreal product locally. Bottom line? Don't waste your money. Use L'Oreal's towlettes instead.L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes . - Medium Natural Tan

HOnestly, this product isn't any better, than, let's say, "Loreal Sublime" tanning wipes, and it cost a lot more. Don't waste your money being fooled into purchasing it because it's from Europe, or whatever. It's no better than anything else that we sell here in the states.
