Review: Awesome replacement for plastic snack bags - We were using so many snack baggies for my daughter's snacks, as well as my husband's lunches. I was getting frustrated with the waste. These work super well, and the small size is perfect for small apples, preztel sticks, or basically any firm snack you can think of. My husband was using the medium size for taking his grapes to work. I've found less use for the large one, but that's mostly because I have glass tupperware with lids, so I rarely need to cover a bowl or anything. All in all, they are fantastic and I highly recommend. Easy to use, easy to clean and better for the earth (and cute!). Review: Love these! - I received these about a month ago and have been using them consistently ever since. Mine did not come with instructions for use or cleaning, but I was able to get that information out of reviews and Q&A before they even arrived. I've sealed all manner of food in them -- cheese, meats, pizza, fruits and veggies, PBJ, you name it. I haven't had any trouble cleaning off food particles and they don't hold flavors or smells. The only thing I have trouble with is that my dogs' hair sticks to the wrap and when I try to remove it, I wind up gouging some of the coating off. I haven't figured out the solution yet, but I definitely think this is a personal problem and not some inherent design flaw in the product. To dry, I just let them air dry draped over other dishes in my dish rack or I hang them from my cookbook stand. I haven't had any problems with the sticky coating coming off on anything (other dishes, countertop, food, or my hands) the way other reviewers have reported, but I have to wonder if that is because of how cold I keep my house... in other words, if heat activates the sticky properties of the coating, it stands to reason that the wrap might transfer the coating to warm surfaces. To store them, I lightly fold them in half or fourths and leave them in a countertop basket with all my other "hippie reusable crap" (as my husband calls it!). I have no trouble unfolding the wraps after they've been stored, wrapped around food, or wadded up at the bottom of my husband's backpack. I love these, they're super cool and they put a huge dent in the amount of saran wrap and ziploc bags we were using. I will definitely buy them again!

My favorite new kitchen accessory!
I love these wraps! Yes they were a tiny bit sticky at first, but it they get less tacky feeling with a couple uses. I use for wrapping cheese, covering pitchers, wrapping cookie dough etc. The sizes provided are perfect, and cute designs. Easy to rinse and clean. Came in handy for thanksgiving prep! Bought a set for a gift... so happy with these! Most of all.... I love that they are good for the environment!

Wraps food well.
As an eco-friendly sub for cling wrap and tin foil, does a good job and stays tight when sealed properly. Only drawbacks: not clear, so you don't know what's in it; also, have to be very careful to just lightly damp clean it with cool water, otherwise the wax surface dissolves and will no longer stick. Not as easy to work with as the disposable wraps, but worth the effort to keep plastic out of the environment.

Love them as bowl toppers!
These work beautifully! I like them better for produce, cheese, sandwiches, and anything else that tends to fall apart if not tightly wrapped. I like them MUCH better for covering bowls, too; much less fiddling around with plastic or aluminum foil to get it tight, because these wraps stick to themselves much better than plastic, and they hold better than foil. They are easy to clean, easy to use. There is a pleasant "beeswax" scent, but nothing strong, unpleasant, or overpowering. It does not transfer to food and I only smell it when I'm in the process of putting the wraps around the food; once it's in the fridge, I don't smell it at all, though I wouldn't mind if I did...

A bit too sticky
The pros: lovely patterns for each size, mold well. the cons: a bit too sticky, which creates two main problems. The first is cleaning, all the crumbs and other dirt stick to the wrap, it takes forever to clean and it is still not perfect (sandwiches for a first grader). Second, when he opens the sandwiches (I was told with a teacher's help), the wrap gets crumpled and is hard to pry apart later, also takes a while. Overall I really like these, but every time I clean them this criticism comes to mind. Update : the sandwich size wrap now is looking very dirty. I will try cleaning with baking soda, as someone suggested, but the wrap is starting to look icky and unsanitary, in spite of being washed with soap and warm water after every use. The small wraps, used mainly for fruit and cheese, are holding up great and looking clean. Not sure if it has to do with fabric or the size or the fact that it gets handled more, but large size definitely needs more R&D to make it as a decent sandwich wrap. I will go with a different brand in the future, at least for this size.

These work great!
I love these! So far I have used them to wrap half an avocado (it stayed firm for days in the fridge), half a tomato (stayed fresh for days), and as bowl coverings. I even put the bowl in my backpack and went to work and there was no spilling. I have reused them several times so far and they work great every time, easy to clean with cool water and a little dish soap. At first, I was concerned that they would not work so great because sometimes environmentally safe products aren't as good as the toxic ones (unfortunately), but these work better than plastic wrap. Oh and they are very cute! I haven't noticed a funny smell like some of the reviews for similar products I've read.

You'll want more...
I forgot to get an after photo but 5 days in the wrap and my fresh mushrooms were still just as fresh as when I bought them! For me this was a HUGE deal because our fridge is currently on the outs and is unfortunately ruining a lot of food if not used quickly or covered properly. Also, my other half is a cut it and shove it in the fridge kind of person, so these really help for convenience! I just clipped the small ones to my fridge so they're easy to see and to use (instead of digging in the cupboard for the plastic bags im trying to use the last of...) The wrap sticks fantastically to itself and just as great to glassware. I did try to wrap a (i think silicone) bowl and it really only stuck to the edge of the bowl and didn't really seal it but I didn't mind at all with how many other uses I've already gotten from the wraps. They were easy to wash and dry fairly quickly. I am wanting to get one reusable item every month and I will definitely be ordering more of these for myself and friends!
