Ben's 30 Tick & Insect Repellent Wipes ($27)
Wipes can be clutch for parents. "Individually wrapped wipes are easy for stashing in a bag when out and about without worrying about spilling," Dr. Stovall says. Ben's wipes contain 30% DEET — good for long-lasting protection when you really need it (and also the highest concentration of DEET the AAP recommends for kids, so you may want to save this for when you need super long-lasting protection for older kids). Plus, "wipes decrease the risk of inhalation or accidentally spraying in the face," she says. And wipes help you avoid getting DEET into cuts and scrapes, which can lead to skin irritation.
Top review: "Perfect for on the road, camping, or anytime you might be out at the mosquito bewitching hour. They work great. They don't make me sneeze as all sprays do, and they don't stink as badly as the sprays."
