It is important to know that you are protected from the diseases that these insect carry. We have used DEET insect repellents and some of them work well, but we feel much better with Picardin based products. Picaridin seems to be less toxic than DEET and is also more comfortable on the skin.
For years we have trusted Tender Natrapel Picaridin products. We encountered clouds of active mosquitoes in Zancudo and in Maine in the summer, and have not gotten bitten when we have remembered to apply repellent. That is why we like the Natrapel wipes. We always have a few packets in our pack and purse, so even if we don’t expect to need protection, because for example, we thought we were going to be eating in an indoor restaurant but ended up at an outside table, we are prepared.
We don’t like to wipe ourselves down every time we go outside – with these wipes, we can only use insect repellent when we need it.
