Unlike many people, I tend to buy my beauty supplies in batches large enough to last at least a couple of months or more. In the case of my beard cover and contouring makeup, I tend to buy a year's supply from a theatrical supply house. Given the pandemic, I should place a new order soon, now that I have a job. They probably need the business. But I digress.
One of the problems many TG's have with makeup is its removal. Many of us still have to deal with beard stubble at the end of the day, and I am no exception. Using baby wipes is a great option for cisgender women, as they have no stubble to deal with. But that's not a great option for us, as these wipes tend to break down when they encounter the least amount of stubble. However, the stronger material used in exfoliating wipes seems to do the trick for me, and I find that the extra cost involved in buying these wipes is made up for by using less wipes to get my face clean.
Recently, I decided to look up Walmart's store brand to see if these wipes were still available. And only one store had them in stock - behind a display counter that is normally locked. Since they were not on a convenient shelf display, people overlooked 6 packages of these (probably) discontinued wipes. Guess who snapped them up on her way to see a friend?
I figure that each package has 60 wipes. 6 packages contain 360 wipes. Used wisely, this is almost a full year's supply. If Walmart resumes selling these wipes, I will buy them when they are on the shelves. If not, I'll buy the Simple brand found at the top of the page - and pay twice as much as I've been paying for Walmart's wipes. Or, I might just buy a few more cloth face cloths and use them with a good facial cleanser as I once did when first presenting as a female.
