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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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

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 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.

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!

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips
Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.
Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.
One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.
We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.
Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums
What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.
1. Nappy Free Time
“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.
We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.
2. Change Nappies Frequently
“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member
Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.
3. Use A Barrier Cream
“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes
Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.
4. Choose Gentle
“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F
Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.
Nappy Rash Myths & Facts
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies. ✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.
It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.
🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies. ✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation. ✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

*Zinc as Zinc Oxide. Tested on adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin. *#1 choice in Australian hospitals based on sales data.
Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!
My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.
Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.
Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.
Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.
I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.
There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.
This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important
Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!
Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to
Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.
We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .
This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
