A baby wipe might seem like a minor item in baby care, but that all changes once you have a little one at home. Baby wipes are essential for keeping your baby’s bottom (face and hands too) fresh and clean, no matter if you’re at home or on the go.

To help you make changing diapers and cleaning up messes a breeze, we’ve gathered some helpful info on what to look for in baby wipes. Plus, we’ve listed some of the best baby wipes available in Singapore.

What to Look for in Baby Wipes

You might be thinking that a baby wipe is simply a baby wipe. After all, how different can these little pieces of cloth be?

The truth is that baby wipes vary in numerous ways. Think about the following before you decide to go with a certain brand or style of baby wipe.

Thickness

Nothing’s worse than having a wet wipe rip in your hand as you’re cleaning up a mess. Thick wipes are less prone to ripping and they can handle bigger messes.

Ingredients

When you look at ingredients, it’s important to consider what the wipes do contain as well as what they don’t contain.

Some wipes contain soothing elements such as aloe vera, lanolin oil, and vitamin E, which can help keep your baby’s skin smooth and healthy. A few products even contain essential oils for babies. On the other hand, some wipes contain materials like alcohols or fragrances, which your baby might be sensitive to.

Wetness

Sure, baby wipes are also called wet wipes for a reason. You expect them to be wet! However, as you try out different baby wipes, you’ll find that some are pretty dry and others are dripping wet.

Smell

Some baby wipes contain added fragrances to knock out bad odors. Be aware that added fragrances may cause harm to your baby’s sensitive skin. It’s also good to know that even unscented baby wipes may contain an odor that you or your baby dislike.

Price

While we all want the best for our kids, we’d be lying if we said price wasn’t something we consider. Since you’ll go through lots of baby wipes while your little one is a newborn, infant, and toddler, those few extra dollars can quickly add up.

Package Size

Some baby wipes are available in a variety of package sizes, and others only come in one size. While larger packages tend to be less expensive per wipe, they are hard to tote around in a baby bag or stroller.

How to Choose a Baby Wipe

After you’ve considered the factors above, it’s time to try out some different brands and styles. We recommended trying out a few different products until you find one that works for you. It’s always helpful to read baby wipe reviews from other parents to help guide your decisions.

Once you’ve found a product you and your child like, you can order large quantities. By buying in bulk, you’ll have access to lower prices.
