I bought these for a trip to Greece to cut down on how many liquids I needed to cram into my TSA-approved quart-sized travel bag. These wipes don't count as liquids, so you can throw them into your carry-on. Mosquitos love and find me, and I'm fairly allergic to their bites. I always carried a couple of these wipes in my messenger bag, along with water, camera, etc., on my trip and it took up no space. It gave me peace of mind that if I even felt the faintest hint that mosquitos were around, I could tear open a package and wipe this on rather inconspicuously, even in a public setting like a restaurant or outdoor cafe. Turns out, it was pretty dry and fairly windy during our trip, so I was mostly safe. The one time that i had to use it was lying in bed in our hotel room, when I heard a mosquito buzz by my ear. I tore one open without having to turn the lights on and disturb my partner, and applied everywhere. It has a fresh, herbal scent, and nothing chemically. It dries fairly quickly and to cover my entire body, I needed another towelette. I actually tucked the spent towelettes partially under each side of my pillow to get as much of the repellant effects as possible. I woke up the next morning expecting at least a few swollen bites, but I was bite-free! We actually found and smashed the mosquito that morning, and I shuddered at the size of that thing and the swelling that a bite from that bug would've caused me.
I actually thought of taking a Deet-based wipe on this trip so that I could have a greater guarantee of being free of swollen bites, but now I'm glad that I took this and still have lots of it around. As a highly mosquito-attracting individual, I will always have this in my messenger bag. The bonus is that I don't need to worry about spilling a bottle of anything in my bag.
