WaterWipes Plastic Free Original baby Unscented Hypoallergenic Reviews Summary

Quality and Effectiveness

Pros:

• "These are the best wipes you can buy! They are worth the price."
• "These are the only brand that has significantly reduced his diaper rash."
• "They don’t burn face or nose like other brands, they are 100% pure and hypoallergenic!"
• "These wipes may be slightly more expensive than other brands, but I will readily pay that small difference if it means less skin irritation for my baby."
• "They clean great, don't have to use a ton of wipes to do the job and most importantly they do not irritate in any way."
• "These wipes hold significant moisture and are not harsh on baby’s skin."
• "They're gentle enough to use even during a diaper rash but also extremely effective at really cleaning baby."

Cons:

• "Not only are they super thin and much smaller in comparison to other wipes but they're not nearly as soft."
• "The wipes are now much thinner, they noticeably contain less water and now come with a fragrance to which my son's skin has reacted."
• "I used to love Water Wipes, but whatever they did to change them is bad. They're smaller, rougher, and don't smell good."
• "WIPES ARE NOT AS MOIST, THEY ARE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MATERIAL AND BARELY COME CLOSE TO THE OLD ORIGINAL WATER WIPE."
• "Imagine wiping a butt with wet newspapers. That's how these awful wipes behave."
• "The wipes I receive seem to be inconsistent."
• "However, my most recent order had an unbearably strong alcohol / chemical-like scent that made me scared to use them."

Convenience and Packaging

Pros:

• "The resealable sticker keeps the wipes fresh and moist, so I don't have to worry about them drying out."
• "The packaging is clean and efficient, the resealable tab is practical and ensures that the wipes stay moist and ready for use."
• "The resealable lid ensures that the wipes stay moist and ready for use, and it's also travel-friendly, which is a big plus for parents on the go."
• "The packaging is quite good, too: each individual package of wipes has an adhesive flap you can re-close to keep the remaining wipes from drying out."
• "These wipes contain more water than other wipes and don’t dry out quickly."
• "We also like the ability to buy in quantity, as we can keep packages of wipes in several locations - upstairs, downstairs, in the car."
• "They have always been tricky to get out of the package especially when you’re in a pinch changing a dirty diaper and occasionally is pull one out that was just dripping wet."

Cons:

• "The only con I can think of regarding these wipes is that the 60 count travel pack is heavy in your diaper bag!"
• "I love these wipes, with the exception of wishing they were a continuous feed!"
• "The one little complaint I have is that they don't seem to come apart easily."
• "It’s hard to pull just one wipe out at a time and they’re not as thick as other wipes."
• "FIRST, they are not chemical free like they claim. SECOND they have terrible stickers to instead of caps to keep it closed and it never stays closed, dries out the rest of the wipes."
• "I’ve never had a package of wet wipes where it was so difficult to just pull out one wipe."
• "I bought so many of these to use in my wipes warmer dispenser, only to find out I can’t use them in there because they aren’t stacked as a continuous feed."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "I understand the change was made to make them 100% biodegradable."
• "I choose environmental friendly options in the majority of choices in running my household, in this instance choosing to use Water Wipes is well worth it."
• "I love the idea that they are now 100% biodegradable however you can’t actually wipe anything clean with them. They are terrible."
• "Their commitment to sustainability is great, but unfortunately they ruined their amazing product in the process!!"
• "In March 2022, WaterWipes announced that they changed their product to be plastic free and 100% biodegradable."
• "I think even my baby loves them knowing that he's already produced more garbage prior to his first birthday than millions of other kids will produce before they reach puberty."
• "These wipes are made in Europe and are 99% pure Irish Water and 1% grapefruit seed extract."

Cons:

• "So what is the purpose of the wipe being biodegradable?"
• "The brand claims they only changed their packaging but this is clearly a lie and some new, not at all natural ingredient has been added."
• "However, these wipes now contain just enough of a certain chemical that causes terrible diaper rashes. It’s such a small amount that they can claim chemical free but it’s enough to harm skin."
• "This product claims to have only two ingredients. THIS IS A LIE. Under each individual package, you will see it state that it contains benzalkonium chloride."
• "However, they have a strong smell now and don’t feel as wet/soft."
• "But now I will no longer buy them due to their new profound chemical smell and an irritation that developed from using them."
• "WaterWipes claims to be a family company yet their business model has nothing to do with providing care for our babies."
