Best Insect Repellent Body Wipes of 2025

"I always vow to avoid bites, but I often fail. This summer, I wanted a repellent that was easy to use. Sprays can be bothersome to others, so these wipes were a great alternative. I rated it 4 out of 5 stars because I did get bitten once after applying it, but overall it helped."

"I bought these wipes to keep in my walking pouch since mosquitoes often appear after I start my walk and I might not have any repellent on hand. They're a great backup, just in case I need them."

It felt a bit greasy at first, but overall it was acceptable post-application. I appreciated its portability, though I’m not a fan of the waste that comes with it. I would definitely buy it again!"

"I was a bit skeptical about these wipes, but I detest bug sprays. One wipe covered my arms and legs effectively. The peppermint scent is lovely, and they're super convenient. Initially, I thought they were pricey until I realized how far one wipe stretches. I keep them handy by my door, especially since we live in an area with a lot of mosquitoes."

"During a hike in a heavily infested area, my husband and I found these wipes at a children's center. We used two wipes for the two of us and our one-year-old, applying them to our clothes and the baby carrier. To our surprise, we didn’t get any bug bites! The wipes felt dry at first, but somehow they worked wonders. We were impressed and immediately ordered more. Now, we apply them directly to our two-year-old, and they still provide great protection!"

"I use these every time I garden since mosquitoes love me! The bites send me to the ER due to my body's reaction. I've used these for a year and have never had a bug bite while wearing them. I keep a couple in my purse for surprise attacks. They don’t sting and don’t stain my clothes. They are kid-friendly too."

"These wipes are superior to sprays because I can apply them without inhaling anything. I had a chigger problem while picking figs, and these wipes worked great. They are lightly oily, which I think is the key. No more bites for me!"

"I found the wipes to be too oily and messy for my liking. I only used them once, and I'm not sure if they worked because of the excessive oiliness. Not the best experience for me."
