Powdery repellent

Advantages: Keeps mosquitos at bay
Disadvantages: None really unless you don't like a spray

...AUTAN FAMILY CARE MOSQUITO REPELLENT Whe we went to Egypt over the easter holiday, I was fairly obsessed about not being bitten by mosquitos and so took several products with us, this being one of them WHAT IS IT? This is basically a mosquito repellent- it doesn?t state that it repels other biting bugs and insects but hopefully the same products work at repelling them. The repellent is delivered via fine powder particles which will apparently dry immediately and repel mosquitos for up to 4 hours. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The product comes in a 100ml aerosol can with a pull off lid and all of the instructions and information are on the back of the can When i spray the repellent onto exposed bits, it does in fact come out as promised- very fine particles which dry as soon as they touch the skin. Unusually for this type...

Review of Autan Family Care Insect Repellent

Keeping the Insects Away?!

Advantages: Good aftersun moisturiser.
Disadvantages: Not great at keeping insects away.

...the cream is dispensed. - What does it contain and promise? - ~ cocoa butter to condition and gently soothe skin. ~ gentle cooling lotion. ~ provides long lasting moisturisation. ~ helps prevent peeling and prolong a natural tan. ~ contains gentle effective odourless insect repellent. ~ non-greasy and easily absorbed. ~ non-pore blocking. ~ dermatologically tested. ~ hypoallergenic. - My experience - * Appearance and Texture This is a white cream with a light, slightly runny consistency. It has a lovely fresh, cool feel to it when applied and just as it promises, it is quickly absorbed in to sun-drenched skin. It kept my skin moisturised without being greasy and sticky and therefore was great at prevent peeling. * Smell This has a very slight floral scent to it but can certainly be used and was used...

Review of Boots Soltan Aftersun Lotion With Insect Repellent

Wipe to repel

Advantages: They work
Disadvantages: disposing of the thing

...Jungle formula wipes When we were in Egypt for a recent holiday, there were quite alot of mosqitos. Having realised that this would probably be the case, I stocked up on mosquito repellent lotions and potions and these were one of the products. WHAT ARE THEY? These wipes promise to repel mosqitoes midges and other biting insects for up to 6 hours. They have apparently been approved by the hospital for tropical Diseases for use in countries where there is no known risk of malaria or other insect transmitted diseases. They won?t protect against these diseases so for anyone travelling where there is a risk, the extra strength wipes should be used. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The wipes themselves come in a box which is the usual Jungle Formula green colour and it has all of the instructions for use on the back of the box...

Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Wipes

One of the best insect repellents around

Advantages: strong enough, value for money, not that smelly
Disadvantages: Not strong enough for serious jungle work

...uncomfortable. 5. At £3.99 its very well priced and in fact one bottle would last for several applications a day for at least a couple of months. All in all i really cannot find a downside to this repellent and woulld reccommend it to anyone who wants to keep the insects at bay, but if you're doing some serious jungle trekking you may want to go for the dtronger deet in addition to this...

Review of Lifesystems Expedition 50+ Insect Repellent (100ml)

CALLING ALL INSECTS

Advantages: Stops you burning, to a point
Disadvantages: Doesn't seem to repel insects. Could protect better

...Avon often has some good money saving offers on sun lotions and now I have a family, buying in bulk makes sense. A couple of years ago I decided to go for one of their buy three for a reduced price offers. One of the ranges included an insect repellent, so I thought I?d give it a try. I thought it would be particularly good for repelling those mosquitoes if I went abroad. I was a bit disappointed that it only came in Sun Protection Factors 15 and 30, as I knew my partner wouldn?t use anything that high and ideally I would have liked an in between SPF of about 20. So I compromised and went for SPF 15. As it happened, I didn?t get to use it abroad, but we had some sun here so it got its first try out on a hiking trip. My initial thoughts on it were good. A lot of high factor sun creams tend to be very thick and greasy, but this...

Review of Avon Sun Lotion with Insect Repellant

Down in the jungle there are mosquitos

Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: Can be a bit messy

...Jungle Formula insect repellent lotion When we go away, and if there is any chance of bites, we always go well armed with insect repellents because there are few things as bad as spending your holiday scratching! I tend to buy Jungle formula for no other reason than it's the one i just grab as I shop, but i have also tried other makes which have proved effective. We usually use the spray but on our last foray to more tropical climes i decided to give the lotion a go; the spray came as well in case this proved to be too tricky. PROMISES... This apparently lasts for up to 6 hours and will protect from mosquitos midgies and other biting insects. I like... PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... THE BOX IS THE TYPICAL JUNGLE Formula box, all green and jungle looking with instructions and information on the back of the box. Once inside i...

Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Lotion

In spite of the Jungle Formula , Brittle still gets bitten!

Advantages: An easy to use, convenient product
Disadvantages: It didn't work for me!

...Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Wipes What are they?= Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Wipes are a handy way of keeping biting and stinging creepy crawlies away. The Jungle Formula range has been around for many years and produces products for use both in the UK and abroad. The wipes come in boxes of 15 individually sealed sachets. This product is ideal to pop in a pocket or bag for use whenever the need arises, to protect you whilst you are out and about. Jungle Formula wipes provide up to 6 hours protection and can be used on children from the age of three. Why I bought them Well, this is self explanatory really!

Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent Wipes

There's no flies on me!

Advantages: effective insect repellent, no bites, keeps mosquitoes away
Disadvantages: contains DEET , strong smell

...of this review and I am reviewing the Extra Strength Pump Spray which comes in a 75ml bottle. Jungle Formula is a tropical insect repellent and provides protection from Mosquitoes, Midges and other annoying biting insects. What attracted me to this product over the many others on offer was the fact that it has been approved by the Hospital for Tropical Diseases for travellers visiting tropical areas with a high risk of malaria and other insect transmitted diseases. So this sounded good to me as it was medically approved and I wasn?t disappointed. Jungle Formula is a 10 hour application which is very runny and slightly yellow in colour. It is a pump action insect repellent spray for adults and children over the age of 6 years old. Using the pump you apply carefully to exposed clean and dry skin except for eyes and lips. Roughly you...

Review of Jungle Formula Insect Repellent

Deter the flying biters

Advantages: We didn't get bitten
Disadvantages: can't be used in tropical areas

...Boots Insect repellent spray With a Little Miss who seems to be loved by flying biters, I tend to take as many precautionary products as possible in the form of lotions potions and sprays when we go on our jollies. ~~WHO IS THIS FOR?~~ It is suggested that the spray is for adults and children from the age of 6 months. This is actually one of the reasons I bought the spray- if a baby of 6 months can have it applied, then it's a doddle for a 6 ½ year old. ~~WHAT DOES IT DO?~~ Protects those under the influence of the spray from mosquitos, midges and other flying insects, so if it does work, then this has got to be good news. ~~PRODUCT AND PACKAGING~~ The product comes in a 125ml plastic aerosol spray can with all information and directions for use on the back. There is a lift off plastic lid so no danger of it spraying...

Review of Boots Repel Insect Repellent Spray

Perfect Insect Repellent - Keeps the bugs away

Advantages: Leaves Skin Soft, Insect Repellent, Cheap & Cheerful
Disadvantages: Only available from Avon

...for the love life either. I have tried various skin and bug repellents and they have all failed to stop me being bitten. So when my mother in law told me about Skin so Soft (SSS) ? Soft and Fresh I thought yeah right, why waste my money on another useless product which would not work. Well a week later and I was talked in to buying the full range which cost me over a tenner so I was not amused but I tried it and used it and it actually work?s as the perfect insect repellent.  HOW TO USE & DOES IT WORK?  So once in the shower, I grab my new SSS Creamy body wash and start to massage the stuff on my body direct or you can put it on a sponge and mix up a bit of lather and scrub your body clean. Once you feel cleansed rinse off and dry yourself! SSS leaves my skin feeling soft and somewhat cool. It has a lovely...
