WaterWipe Review

I don't know about you but in my life, wet wipes are used for more than wiping little butts.

They have helped me through the tough jobs such as cleaning my cars dash board, mopping up spills from the floorboards and even gotten a stain out of a top on the odd occasion.

I'm not at all a 'wipes snob' but when offered the chance to trial WaterWipes I was quick to jump to the chance. 

When I first had Nelly, I had great plans of using only pure cotton wool and water.

Well, that didn't happen.

I just buy what ever wipes are the cheapest to be honest. 

In unrelated news, how cute is that photo of Nelly. Seriously. 

WaterWipes are 99.9% Water and 0.1% Grapefruit seed extract.

That's pretty damn pure.

I have never ever looked at the ingredients on the back of a wipes packet, until about 5 minutes ago when I went through my stash of empty packets that Nelly loves to play with.

Holy crap. Why are there over 15 ingredients?

What the hell are all these things that I cannot even pronounce? 

Nelly doesn't appear to have sensitive skin at all, she's never had nappy rash before but now I am wondering what exactly have I been putting on to her butt, her hands when I wipe them clean and the occasional face wipe?!

The WaterWipes are soft, moist (however I would prefer them to be a bit more moist, but not as disgustingly wet as the Huggies wipes) and have no scent which is a plus in this house hold since The Husband has ridiculous hayfever and sneezes at everything. 

I cannot fault them at all. They don't glide over the butt like the other wipes, which I am guessing is due to the purity of them. 

The only thing that scares me? The price. $7.58 for a pack of 60 wipes. That's about 13c per wipe.

The other brands that I use are far more cost efficient:-

Coles Comfy Bot 80 pack $2.70

Coles Fragrance Free Thick 80 pack $3.00

Aldi Mamia 80 pack $2.49

Curash 80 Pack $4.00

Woolworths Home brand 80 pack $2.49

Anyway, you can see where I am going with this. They are expensive. Seriously, expensive.

 

So, I'm off to look into the ingredients of wipes and what possible effects they have on skin.

What do you use for the kids in your life? Do you know what all these long ingredients mean?

You can purchase WaterWipes online here, or at Coles and BiLo.
