Real Stories, Real Trust

Hear from real parents and caregivers who trust WaterWipes for their little ones. Their stories highlight the purity, gentleness, and care that make WaterWipes a must-have for sensitive skin.

2,000+ Ratings

We've ended up using these wipes for much more than just nappy changes: they've been used for messy hands and faces at mealtimes, wiping up spills, and even a quick refreshing wipe for us parents. Love the fact that they're vegan, more eco-friendly than other wipes (box is recyclable and wipes themselves biodegradable - although the plastic on the wipes themselves isn't recyclable). The individual packs keep the wipes moist (we've never had a pack dry out before we have used it up). My only gripe is that it can be very difficult to take out one wipe at a time - you do sometimes end up with a clump coming out. I've tried both the textured and non-textured versions and would definitely recommend the textured as they're still gentle on skin but pick up more.

Matt R

Wouldn’t go for any other wipes!

The quality of these are perfect! Soft on babies bum, not at all dry like some wipes, come out of the packaging quick and easy!

Jordann H

I bought them for my grandson's new baby girl and they were really pleased that they were not perfumed in any way and had plenty of moisture in them.

Best Water for Baby’s Skin

Expert dermatologist, Dr Cairine Wilkinson explains the varieties of water and advises on which water’s best for cleansing & preserving baby’s delicate skin. Parents might have heard that they can use cotton wool and water on their baby’s skin. However, whilst water and cotton wool are perceived to be 'pure', particulates, impurities and other minerals are found in both the cotton material and the water, even if boiled.

WaterWipes water passes through a unique seven-step purification process that removes impurities, softens and purifies the water.
WaterWipes are an alternative and purer method for cleansing baby’s skin as the Skin Health Alliance has validated that WaterWipes are ‘purer than cotton wool and water.

Q&A with Katie Ross | Premature Skin

Are there any ingredients parents of premature babies should avoid when purchasing products for their newborn’s skin? It’s important to avoid any harsh ingredients that could dry or irritate the skin. It’s generally recommended to avoid products with alcohol, perfumes, or certain preservatives.

WaterWipes are a great choice for cleansing the skin of premature babies during diapering.
There are minimal ingredients, and the wipes are effective at cleansing the area without stripping away the fragile skin barrier or impacting the microbiome of these medically fragile babies.
