  • Lovely wipes

    At first i was worried they would be too wet. But they are really fabulous to use. Nice and strong and great moisture. You feel good knowing that they are safe for a newborn with no harmful scents or chemicals etc. I wish they were a little cheaper, but in this case you are paying for a quality product.

  • Love them!

    On our first visit to our local health care nurse she noted my little Bub had some skin sensitivity. She recommended the WaterWipes as the best wipe to use and doesn’t recommend anything else. Free from harsh chemicals and so soft but effective cleanser. My baby’s skin is looking great and at 8 months have had no issues with skin rash since. Love this product so much.

  • Hands down the best wipes

    As a neonatal nurse, we only use water wipes as they are so gentle on babies delicate skin and clean easier than anything else. I now use these wipes at home on my son as I know they are the very best. They are a little more expensive than others, but if you have a baby with sensitive skin, they are definitely worth the extra expense as they do not irritate the skin at all and I also often stock up when they are on special

  • Take them with you every where, not just for babies.

    We find them so handy in the car when traveling. Quick clean ups of spills, wiping hands and faces after meals or snacks. Wiping down dirty hands after exploring.
    Cooling off hot faces and necks after being in the sun, especially if you keep them in the esky. Traveling with dogs great for quick clean ups. The wipes are strong enough to take on any task. Not just for babies.

  • Best baby wipes ever!!!

    Can’t fault these baby wipes… iv tried every brand and these by far are my favourite!! They are so easy to use and come out one at a time instead of in a whole clump like some other brands iv used. These wipes are also so gentle and great on my babies bum when she’s teething and her bums a bit raw, no stinging or irritation caused from them what so ever! My son has super sensitive skin and these are great to use on him when he needs his face or hands wiped. Super happy with this product and will definitely be buying from now on.

  • Converted :)

    We recently tried Water wipes & all I can say is.. why have I not brought these before! I use to buy the cheap coles or Woolworths brands & they did the job (if you like using 60 wipes for one nappy change) but we found the water wipes to be so wet that you actually only need to use 2 or 3 wipes for one change (depending on mess) but being so wet meant having a cleaner nappy change overall! Also the added benefit of not putting chemicals onto my babies skin is a huge plus! Would recommend to anyone and we now buy the water wipes in bulk!!

    These are great! Very gentle and just the right amount of moisture to wipe and effortlessly clean without leaving any leftover ‘residue’. They suit those with sensitive skin, new butts, old butts and they also clean your mirrors good too

    It was such a great product that I have now moved to these wipes as our regular packet. They don’t have that. Chemical smell and is gentle on the skin. It’s really good for children with sensitive skin and are easy to use to clean up those messy pre schoolers. I highly recommend this product if you want something that doesn’t have nasty chemicals

  • Very Moist but Expensive

    I find water wipes to be very expensive, I would only ever buy them if they are on sale. I did but 5 packets a couple of months ago when they were on sale for $2.00 each but haven’t seen them on since and normally costs about $6.00.
    They are very moist, wet but I found that because they are wet they left my baby’s bottom wet too and had to use either another wipe or a towel to dry her bottom. It is a good feeling when you are using the purest baby wipes in the world but at the same time it does come with a price tag and sometimes it doesn’t fit my budget.
    I think they are good quality and I do trust WaterWipes brand and they would be amazing for eczema and other related sensitive skin issues which my daughter sometimes has.
    If the price wasn’t so expensive I would be buying this over and over again.

  • Love these wipes - no smell, very gentle, tough wipes

    I love these wipes – they are tough (so they don’t break apart easily), no funky smells, natural and pure and good for all types of skin. It’s also very gentle on baby skin. I love the fact that it has no hidden chemicals and does not irritate already sensitive or red skin. It’s also the right moisture level – not too wet and sloppy, and not too dry.

    Only downfall is the cost. It’s so expensive. I would only use this on babies, not like the other cheaper varieties that I would happily use to wipe the floor and table with!

    I had my son 10 weeks earlier then expected and spent several weeks in the NICU ward. In the ward they use water wipes and explained that it’s because they are so gentle and natural. Since coming home from the hospital we still use these and they are the best.

    I have used these on my own account (not as part of a review), and I have been really satisfied with them. They clean well, and are a good thickness. I like that the ingredients are so simple and safe. We use them for a lot of clean up jobs – my kids are out of nappies – and I recommend them for safe kid use as well.

  • Not for me and my baby.

    These Water Wipes are nice and cool to use, but unfortunately after one packet of use, a nappy rash started to form, due to the extra moisture from the wipes. I even use baby powder. The wipes are extremely wet, and hard to get out of the packet easily. The are not designed to come out if the packet toegther, but one by one. With the wipes being so wet, they’re all stuck inside the packet, and when in need of a quick wipe, I found myself struggling to to peel the wipe out of the packet. It frustrated me every nappy change. I will not be buying these again!

    I really liked these wipes. They have no fragrance which is nice as some are so overwhelming. They are very wet, which helped ensure baby was clean every time. I will definitely purchase these and continue using. My baby also gets nappy rashes which he did not seem to get with the Water Wipes.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
