Light and Effective
After a few hours, Tongo Bug Spray left my skin feeling as if I put on a little lotion. Unlike others, it is a light moisturizer feeling, which I absolutely prefer. Not oily, not chemically. My kids said the same thing. "It goes on good and it does not feel damp after. " After using other sprays, we always felt the need to shower it off. Tongo doesn't leave us feeling like that.
We are on trails and at parks a lot, and our backyard backs up to woods, so we used it while maintaining the yard and on the trails. While mowing, I normally have gnat-like bugs flying all around, but with Tongo, they seemed to finally leave me alone. And dinner on our patio normally leaves us with biting midges (no-see-ums) or mosquito bites. Tongo let us enjoy it pest-free. The kids went fishing and even sat in the grass and came out chigger-free, too.
The green tea + mint fragrance is pleasant. As you spray it, it seems strong, but on the skin it is a light essence that smells as it should without the strong chemical odor. It doesn't smell like bug spray. You smell nice.
I like the nozzle that you can twist to protect from accidental sprays in a bag or with kids. And from research, the ingredients in Tongo versus other sprays are just as effective, if not more, plus are safer. I can definitely get behind Tongo, a brand that is checking the boxes of what we want for our family.
