WaterWipes Sensitive+ Soothing Wipes

4.7 (668)on Amazon →
The BubsNest Verdict

These water-based wipes are incredibly gentle with soothing botanicals, though some parents find they're not quite as effective on major blowouts as thicker wipes. Ideal for newborns with delicate skin or babies prone to nappy rash, but skip if you need heavy-duty cleaning power or are watching your spending.

⚠️Stock availability can be patchy, especially during sales or shortages—bulk buy when you find them at a good price or you might end up paying premium prices from third-party sellers.

BubsNest expert analysis of 4 parenting forum discussions

“Gentle, skin-friendly formula praised, but some dryness complaints”

7.6

Solid Choice

Overall, WaterWipes Sensitive+ are well-regarded by UK parents as a gentle, effective option for newborns and babies with sensitive skin. The 99.9% water formula is widely praised for being gentle, hypoallergenic and non-irritating. However, a minority of parents report the wipes can dry out too quickly, especially when the pack is left open. While most are satisfied, those seeking very moist wipes may want to consider alternatives.

What parents love

Gentle, skin-friendly formulaParents highlight the wipes' gentle, hypoallergenic nature, with the 99.9% water formula praised for being non-irritating on delicate newborn and baby skin.
Effective cleaningMany parents find the wipes clean effectively, removing dirt and mess without leaving residue.
Large pack sizeThe 540-720 count packs are appreciated for providing good value and lasting a long time.

Worth knowing

Drying outSome parents report the wipes can dry out quickly, especially if the pack is left open, not providing enough moisture for their needs.
Scent sensitivityA few parents with highly sensitive babies found the 'unscented' wipes still caused irritation, though most did not have this issue.

Best for

  • Newborns and babies with sensitive skin
  • Parents seeking a gentle, hypoallergenic wipe formula

May not suit

  • Families who prefer very moist, heavily-fragranced wipes

Tips from parents

Getting the Most Out of It

Keep the wipe pack tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the wipes from drying out prematurely.

Before You Buy

Do a patch test first if your baby has extremely sensitive skin, as a small number of parents reported irritation from the 'unscented' formula.
