Baby Wipes buying guide
Why buy wipes six packs at a time
You use wipes at every nappy change. You also use them after meals, after the park and for sticky hands. One pack goes fast.
Six packs means you can keep one by the changing mat, one in the car and one in the changing bag. When one runs out, the next is already in the cupboard. This order arrives as two 3 pack bundles, 360 wipes in total.
What water wipes are
Water wipes are wet wipes where almost all of the liquid is water. These are made with 99.9% water and a drop of grapefruit seed extract. That is the full ingredient list. They are unscented, with 0% fragrance and alcohol.
Many parents like a plain wipe for everyday use. If your baby has a skin condition, ask your GP or health visitor what they suggest.
How to store them
Keep unopened packs upside down in a cool, dry place. Once you open a pack, reseal it after every wipe and use it within 4 weeks. A hot car dries wipes out quickly, so swap the car pack now and then.
How to use them
Pull out one wipe at a time and reseal the pack. Use them for nappy changes, hands and faces. Keep them away from the eyes. They are for external use only.
Put used wipes in the bin. Do not flush them, even one or two. Wipes do not break down like toilet paper and can block pipes.
Check what arrives
One order is two 3 pack bundles of WaterWipes Sensitive+ Newborn and Baby wipes. That is 6 packs of 60, 360 wipes in total. Each bundle is about 19 x 9.4 x 13 cm, so plan a cupboard shelf for the spares and keep a pack wherever you change nappies.
Keep each pack moist
Store unopened packs upside down in a cool, dry place. Reseal an open pack after every wipe and use it within 4 weeks of opening. Swap the pack in the car now and then, because heat dries wipes out.
Use and dispose of them the right way
Use the wipes for nappy changes, hands and faces, and keep them away from the eyes. They are for external use only. Put used wipes in the bin and never flush them. If your baby has a skin condition, ask your GP or health visitor which wipes to use.
