When we had our first son (now 4) we went through just about every brand of wipe on the market, before finally finding the ‘Johnson's Baby Extra Sensitive Fragrance Free Wipes’. We used them for him from then to the time he got out of nappies and have used nothing but them for our (now) 18 month old.
There are a number of factors to this decision, from the bulk price, to the fragrance, to the packaging which keeps the wipes in top condition, but the main thing for me is that they actually clean poo OFF the baby’s skin, not just smear it around.
Honestly some of the wipes we tried with our first son were terrible, they would have me chasing poo around, smearing it about until it somehow ended up on his forehead (genuinely happened once and got me in a lot of trouble with the misses).
I think it’s the combination of the weave that while soft and gentle is not too smooth and lotion that’s not too slippery which mean they do a good job.
+ Pros
1. They clean and don’t smear.
2. The price is excellent for this bulk pack.
3. The individual packages stay sealed, distribute the wipes singularly and keep the wipes wet well.
- Cons
1. For some, still a pricey bulk order, with smaller bundles not being available or as attractively priced.
2. Heavy when delivered in bulk…not for me, I’m a big strong man obviously(!) and only ask my wife to take them upstairs for reasons of equality, not because I run out of puff halfway up.
3. Not so good on grease, when they’re the only thing you have in the glove box and have just filled the tyres with air and got all that stuff on you from the dust caps...you do smell nice though.
