Funding now on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k-25), Epic Wipes are essentially oversized wipes that come in individual packs that are intended to be used once all over the body. Infused with natural ingredients including calendula, chamomile and eucalyptus, the Epic Wipes are sixteen times larger than traditional cleaning wipes, which makes them ideal for makeshift showers when facilities aren't present. Those looking to get their hands on Epic Wipes can make pledges as low as $14, which will get them four wipes in total, delivered within about six to seven weeks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Waterless Cleansing Products:** There is an opportunity for innovative and eco-friendly waterless cleansing products that can be used in situations where traditional shower facilities are not available. - **Oversized Wipes:** There is a demand for larger-sized wipes that can cover a user's entire body for a more effective cleansing experience, encouraging the development of larger sized wipes for hand and body cleansing. - **Natural Ingredients:** The trend towards eco-friendly products also includes a desire for natural ingredients, so brands should consider using natural ingredients like chamomile and calendula to appeal to customers in eco-friendly markets. ### Where This Applies - **Outdoor Recreation:** Companies that make hygienic products for outdoor activities can expand by creating wipes and cleansing products that are specifically marketed toward festival-goers and campers. - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Brands within the beauty and personal care industry can develop innovative, eco-friendly, and biodegradable products for situations where showers aren't available, such as music festivals and long commutes. - **Eco-friendly Products:** There is an opportunity for eco-friendly products in the cleansing industry, allowing companies to expand on the trend toward natural, biodegradable, and multi-use products for sustainability-focused individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [On-The-Go Shower Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuni-beauty-shower-sheets.md) - [Waterless Body Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pristine.md) - [Anti-Odor Hygiene Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-fresh-hygiene-wipes.md) - [Outdoor-Ready Sanitary Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dude-wipes-1.md) - [Eco-Friendly Hygiene Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshist-debuts1.md) - [Cooling Male Hygiene Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menthole-xxtreme.md) - [Versatile Cleansing Wipe Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicepak-wetnaps.md) - [Toilet Tissue Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wype-gel.md) - [Flushable Baby Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flush-wipe.md)
