What is the difference between WaterWipes and baby wipes? ›

Answer: WaterWipes contain 99.9% purified water with a drop of fruit and berry extract, while Pampers Aqua Pure Baby Wipes comprise 99% purified water.

Yes. Our baby wet wipes do not contain ingredients that could further irritate your baby's delicate skin. WaterWipes baby wipes are not a cure for diaper rash – but importantly they contain minimal ingredients and gently clean the delicate skin.

Do you need to wipe a baby girl after peeing? No. Even with a baby girl, you don't need to worry about wiping after they pee. This is because urine doesn't normally irritate the skin and most nappies easily absorb it anyway .

In such cases, you can use baby wipes or wet wipes that are gentler on the skin. Try to avoid overuse of these, as they can worsen irritation over time. Or, wet toilet paper or a wet washcloth can usually do the trick.

How long should I use water based wipes on a baby? There's no time limit on how long to use water based wipes on a baby. Usually made with 99.9% water, they are ideal for sensitive skin.

Not every diaper change may require a wipe. If your baby has only urinated, then you can probably skip wiping to avoid unnecessary irritation. However, always wipe after every poopy diaper, and always wipe front to back to help prevent the spread of bacteria.

Our experts all recommended using water-based wipes, especially those free of fragrances and dyes. Pampers Aqua Pure Wipes, the WaterWipes Original Baby Wipes and the Honest Company Clean Conscious Wipes all have minimal ingredients, which will help your newborn's sensitive skin stay irritation and rash-free.

Benzalkonium chloride in the water wipes for babies

The chemical name of benzalkonium chloride is alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (ADBAC). It is a disinfectant and can serve as an antimicrobial preservative in products.

In short, yes! If it helps you feel more clean and fresh, that is certainly okay. There are also wipes made for women, sometimes referred to as feminine hygiene wipes but there's nothing wrong with using baby wipes. If they are safe and gentle enough for a baby, they should be fine for a teenager or woman.

If the answer's more than three, the wiper might have a condition called “fecal smearing.” The excremental expert explains that this revolting symptom occurs “when too much fecal matter stays at the entrance of the anus after you finish the poo” — think the human version of an ungulate's dirty derriere.

Why is there still poop after I wipe? ›

The soiling mostly happens after the bowel has been open (defaecation or using the toilet for your bowels) and for that reason it is called post defaecation soiling. It is generally because the bowel hasn't completely emptied and some of the stool has been trapped low down in the rectum (lowest part of the bowel).

Baby wipes were found to be superior to water and cloth in 4 out of 5 published studies comparing cleaning with water and cloth to cleaning with formulated baby wipes.

It is not a good idea to clean baby's eyes unless the midwife, health visitor or doctor tells you otherwise. If the eyes are sticky, wash your hands before cleaning the eyes. Gently wipe each eye with cotton wool dampened with sterile or cooled, boiled water.

“Baby wipes can be much more convenient for parents, especially when on the go, but current NICE guidelines recommend using cotton wool and water,” said Tina Lavender, Professor of Midwifery at the University's School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work.

Can I use WaterWipes on my baby's face? Yes. WaterWipes contain 99.9% Water and a drop of Grapefruit seed extract. Many people used WaterWipes between bathing times as they are more gentle on a baby's skin.
