I’ve gotten hundreds of emails asking me my opinion on WaterWipes! I have since added my two cents in the Baby Wipes Cheat Sheet but the kind folks at the copy sent me some to test out. Granted, I do not have any babes around here anymore but I know a good baby wipe when I see one. Meaning, I know it will get the “job” done.
We’re all looking for something perfect and ideally, we’d all make our own baby wipes and never lose a wink of sleep. But the reality is that consumers want a disposable baby wipe for the added convenince without all the chemicals, parabens and hormone mimicking ingredients lurking on baby wipes. Some might argue that it’s a silly thing to worry about but we wipes these on our babies butts daily and some for hands, faces and other areas that might need temporary cleaning. Mainstream wipes are a cocktail of unnatural chemicals. WaterWipes are pretty simple. 99.9% water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract. That’s it.
There are some concerns out there about grapefruit seed extract being a harborer or hidden parabens or contaminants but the company seems to have eased our concern over the product they use:
“As a precaution we had our product tested for a number of contaminates such as benzalkonium chloride, triclosan and parabens, among others. The tests showed there is no need for concern as they were all clear as expected. We also tested for a large number of pesticides and multi residue components. However none were detected in our Grapefruit seed extract. We believe our supply of Grapefruit seed extract is a clean supply from a reputable supplier and there is no reason for concern.”
What I love: They have no smell, they’re soft and are just damp enough for cleanups. What I would love for them to change: Make the cloth fiber something biodegradable or sustainable to reduce the waste factor. Overall I think these are great for babies with sensitive skin or allergies. A sound alternative to conventional baby wipes.

Having baby #3 in the next couple of weeks and can use all the wipes we can get!! 🙂
Would love to use these on my 1 yr old who just started daycare. They won’t do cloth wipes there. These would be perfect!
Water wipes are great, for all the reasons you’ve listed! Hope I win 🙂
Would love to have these for soon-to-be #1!
I got a pack from Abe’s Market to try on my toddler and I really like them. 2 ingredients is GREAT! They hold up well, an I feel comfortable using them on the bum and any where else on my entire family’s bodies.
My 2 year old has sensitive skin. This would be great!
Saw these on a few sites and would love to try them before buying in bulk!
My daughter has sensitive skin so I’d love to try these!
Would love I try these out on my youngest.
Sounds great, I’d love to try these out on my sensitive sweetie!
My daughter who is 7 years old is allergic to toilet paper. This would be great for her!!!
With two in diapers right now, we’re always looking for safer disposable wipes!!
Been using these wipes with 4 kids for over a year now. So glad they’re SafeMama approved!!
I would be very interested in trying these out on my 13 month old. Real food diapers take a lot more cleaning than the old breastmilk ones did!
My 2 month old daughter.
I use The Honest Co.’s wipes right now but would love to try these because of the simple ingredients.
I would use them in the diaper bag for my 5 month – and for daycare too!
I would love to try out these wipes for my soon-to-be-born baby #1!
We can always use some wipes around here! Our seven-month-old kiddo won’t be potty trained for a while yet! 😉 It’s good to know Water Wipes are out there. We have been using the Whole Foods 365 ones and the Jackson-Reece ones mostly, and they are expensive. One day I might make my own.
I baby sit my two grandsons both in diapers. Would love to try these.
I would love these for my second daughter who is 7 months old! We also sometimes use them on our 5 year old. These would be perfect and I have been wanting to try them!
Thanks!
First time mom! Need all the help I can get. 🙂
I would love them for our 4yo, we use wipes for everything! Also, we’d share with our dear friends who just found out they are having a baby girl!
I would love to use these on the children I babysit as they seem to get rashes really easily.
I use water wipes on my daughter and I love them! Unfortunately they are hard to find in stores so getting a free twelve pack would be a big blessing!
I have used water wipes only on my daughter for the last 11 weeks since she has been born and am happy to say she hasn’t had a diaper rash yet! Love these wipes and so thankful I found something without chemicals!
We use cloth wipes at home but disposable when we are out so these would be great!
I would love to win these! We use 7th gen but I’ve been thinking about giving these a try.
