Baby Wipes for you

You’re pregnant (again) and starting to think about buying in a stock of wet wipes.

You want the best for your baby’s sensitive skin. And it would be good to use the most ecofriendly option too…without spending a fortune! But where do you start when wiping your baby? There are SO many types of disposable wipes out there, plus of course cotton wool and water and even reusable wipes.

Navigating the vast sea of baby care products can be overwhelming for new and experienced parents alike.

With the cost of living crisis, plus the necessity of trying to do the best to protect the environment, it’s more important than ever to find baby wipes that are not only gentle on your baby’s delicate skin but also mindful of our planet’s health.

Here at Cheeky Wipes we’ve been all about wipes since we launched our Queens Award Winning Reusable Wipes kit back in 2008 and since then more than half a million happy parents have used our wipes as they make switching to reusable wipes EASY!

But we know that reusable wipes aren’t for everyone, so we though we’d save you some time by compiling our guide to the best baby wipes of 2024 in the UK.

We’ll look at both reusable and disposable options, focusing on key factors like material, ingredients, eco-friendliness and price. 

We’ve chosen options that are fragrance free and suitable for sensitive skin too.  This is partly because I remember being at a baby show and one lady telling me she loved her disposable baby wipes because ‘they were great at getting stains out of the carpet’ – which is great but why would you choose to use THAT on your baby’s sensitive skin!

Remember many wipes don’t contain plastic themselves, however they are packaged in plastic and when wrapped in a bin bag or nappy sack take almost as long to decompose as ‘normal’ wipes. And there’s no such thing as ‘flushable’ wipes either, flushing any baby wipes will block sewers in your area!
