WaterWipes Sensitive Baby Wipes 9 Pack

I have to be honest, I absolutely LOVE WaterWipes!When I found out we were expecting a baby in 2013, the search began for all manner of things that I had absolutely zero prior knowledge about, not being a 'baby person'. This quest for information included cots, baby monitors, nappies, car seats, prams - you name it, I researched it. When it came to wipes, it didn't take a whole load of research to realise that WaterWipes were the best option out there.Early on, you read in babycare books, web articles and on forums that the best thing to clean your baby's bottom with is good old cotton wool and water - this means there are no chemicals touching their most delicate parts, and the care is gentle and natural. We stuck to this for the first three weeks. It was easy in hospital, where we were 'living' in a bedroom with a sink for a week, but once we were home and changing nappies in a bedroom a fair way from the bathroom, it was less convenient. When your tiny baby has produced a, ahem, offering seemingly 3 times the size of its own head, which is rapidly coming close to leaking all over its clothes, you want something that you can use super-fast - not be putting the baby down in it's cot while you retrieve the water container, go to the bathroom for water and return. No doubt to find your baby either fast asleep or surrounded by poo!WaterWipes are 99% simply water. They are so gentle and natural, and importantly they are absolutely soaking wet - not like the scratchy, often dry feeling Pampers or Huggies wipes. I suffer from eczema and contact allergies, and there is a good chance our son will too - this means I was loathe to use any of these other wipes on him anyway - the less chemicals he is exposed to at such an early age the better. Even the popular 'Sensitive' versions of these wipes are still crammed full with chemicals.Yes, the big drawback - they are much more expensive than those other mainstream wipes. I admit that keeping our house, nappy bags, cars and grandparents homes stocked with WaterWipes is not cheap. But, at least to us, it us well worth it for ensuring our baby has a smooth, healthy, happy bum from day one! We buy the WaterWipes in these slightly better value Value Boxes, and use Amazon Subscribe & Save / Amazon Prime, which reduces the price by 20%.Incidentally, our little man has never once had a case of nappy rash or soreness down there. This could be down to either the exclusive use of WaterWipes, or Sudocrem cream - but lets just say I'm not changing anything just to find out!One thing to mention also, is that even if our child proves not to have been cursed with my hyper-reactive, sensitive skin, the fact that I'm using WaterWipes means I can change his nappy with bare hands - if I used Pampers or Huggies wipes, even the Sensitive ones, the allergic reactions to some of the chemicals in them would mean I would have to wear gloves. Not exactly the bonding experience you have in mind for your firstborn!WaterWipes in one word? Essential.

I have recently purchased these to use on my new baby and I'm very pleased with them.I chose these specific wipes because when I compared the ingredients list of these to some other leading brand wipes, I was mortified at the amount of chemicals used by the other brands. They all seem to market themselves as sensitive etc but the most natural and chemical free I could find was Water Wipes.The wipes themselves are very good quality and perfectly moist. I can understand why they are slightly more expensive than other wipes but I'm happy that they are worth it and its a small price to pay to help keep baby's bottom etc clean and rash free.They are also very very refreshing on my tired feet at the end of the day!I will continue to buy these in bulk from Amazon as that will provide best value for money in the long term. I did price up the individual packs in Boots but they work out far more expensive buying them that way.I would highly recommend these wipes but would advise to be careful when opening an individual pack, the seal is very sticky/strong and you can end up tearing the whole packaging open (like i did). Just be very gentle pulling back the seal!

Pricey in comparison with other baby wipes but totally worth the price. I was using baby wipes from Johnsons's and Pampers (both the sensitive range) but they do not even come close to these wipes in terms of quality. These wipes are much softer and therefore more gentle on the baby's skin. But what I really love about them is that they are made of just of water and grapefruit seed extract- no chemicals. Whereas, other brand have a full list of ingredients. I feel more confident to use these wipes, especially as I also use them to wipe my breasts before and after each feed and I wouldn't want my baby to ingest all those chemicals that are present in other brands.

These wipes are amazing. The cost of these has gone up quite dramatically recently, but they are quite a difficult product to find in stores.Now to the product... Why anyone would buy 'regular wipes' is beyond me. Probably because they're cheaper. If you actually look at the ingredients listed on 'regular wipes' there are so many ingredients, alcohol being the main one. I these there is water and grapefruit extract. They are odourless ( which I personally love, I can't stand the smell of regular wipes) and you are not wiping your child with alcohol and numerous other things every time you change their nappy or wipe their face. They wipe everything just as clean, (even sticky baby poos!)It is worth spending a bit of extra money on these wipes. I can't find any others on the market that don't contain alcohol.Make the switch today, don't keep wiping your baby or child with alcohol.
