The best baby wipes for newborns and toddlers – tested by real parents

Super soft and hypoallergenic, these Kit + Kin Biodegradable Baby Wet Wipes (10 x 60 Wipes) are designed to be kind to baby's skin. The formulation contains 99 per cent water, so you won't find chlorine, alcohol, parabens or perfumes in it. The easy dispense lid will make changing your little one that bit easier as it's designed so wipes will come out one by one, ensuring no clumping or waste.

The recyclable packaging is made from 50% recycled materials, and the wipes themselves are described as earth friendly. We love that this starter pack also comes with their amazing nappies.

Kit and Kin is a premium brand so people have high expectations. Most reviewers chose to buy these wipes due to an environmental conscience. Reviewers also loved that there were no nasties in the formula. However, some reported that the wipes themselves were not as soft as other brands, and therefore irritated some with sensitive skin. The lack of artificial scent also bothered a few reviewers who said the wipes don't smell particularly nice.

I have been using them for a while now and have had no problems with skin irritations on my son. I have used other brands in the past that have left him with rashes. The wipes come out of the pack quite easily and keep their moisture well due to the resealable plastic cover and plastic lid."

The Aldi Mamia Sensitive Baby Wipes was awarded Gold and Bronze for Best Baby Wipe at the Mother&Baby Awards 2021 and 2024.

Aldi Mamia Sensitive baby wipes are manufactured from an extra soft cloth that's strong enough for gentle cleansing during nappy time, feeding time or playtime. Mamia baby wipes contain a dermatologically tested lotion with natural Aloe Vera and Chamomile to help keep baby's skin soft and smooth. Fragrance-free, mild and gentle, they are dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic and cotton soft embossed. One of our parent testers said: "I was a bit sceptical at first with these wipes being Aldi and quite cheap. But I was definitely wrong. They are thick, large and wet but not too drippy. The packaging is great because the plastic close lid means they don't dry out, which so many other wipes do. So they are perfect for those quick bum changes where you forget to put everything away properly or shove those unwanted wipes back in the pack."

Dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic and made with a 99% natural formula, our sensitive baby wipes provide a gentle and effective clean with a premium biodegradable embossed cloth that is soft and gentle on little rascals’ delicate skin.

Parents were impressed with the size and strength of these wipes "I tend to buy a supermarket brand which are fine for wet nappies, but having used these now I prefer these for cleaning up after poos. They're also ideal for days out and cleaning sticky fingers, they just feel a bit more substantial and seem to need less of them for clean up, so the pack lasts me longer."
One con was the sticker tab on the front doesn't stay stuck down for as long as the wipes last.

Huggies Pure Extra Care wipes are Huggies most caring baby wipes, as well as being the brand's thickest baby wipes. With these wipes, you can gently clean and protect baby's delicate skin. We love that they're safe to use on newborn babies from day one and that they're ideal for babies with sensitive skin. Plus, the wipes are hypoallergenic with no perfume. Huggies Pure wipes are strong yet gentle thanks to the composition of the wipe. The wipes use skin-loving natural fibres to gently care for baby's skin, providing a soft touch for delicate skin. 

Reviewers who are verified buyers overwhelmingly love these wipes, saying they are soft, wet and thick enough to be absorbent when cleaning up little spills. Those with children with sensitive skin were impressed that they didn't cause irritation, but they were not found to be as good for sensitive skin as water wipes. Wipes ripping as they are removed from the pack was a problem for a few.

Aveeno Daily Care baby wipes gently clean baby's body and face. The wipes are mild and gentle and can be used all over the body, even on sensitive skin. The formula contains oat and aloe extracts. As with the rest of the Aveeno range, they're suitable for even eczema-prone skin and are formulated to help prevent redness.

According to reviewers, these wipes have a non-offensive scent and are soft and moisturising - just as you would expect from the Aveeno brand. A few reviewers found they were not as good for sensitive skin as they'd hoped, but the majority of users loved them. One reported downfall is that the plastic snap lid comes away from the packaging at times.

The Aqua Wipes Baby Wipes won Bronze at the Mother&Baby awards 2020 in the Best Baby Wipes category. Suitable for newborns, these are 99.6 per cent purified water wipes. They are also 100 per cent biodegradable, paraben-free, perfume-free and plastic-free. The benefits don't stop there, as these contain mild coconut-derived cleansing agents and organic aloe vera. One of our parent testers said: "These wipes were much easier to use compared to other products on the market. Due to the fact that the Aqua Wipes were very wet compared to other wipes, cleaning my baby was much quicker. Jenson was happier because his bottom was not sore from having to rub as often to get it clean. I was also able to clean my baby with fewer wipes which meant that the wipes lasted longer. I loved these wipes, and so did my baby!"

Jackson Reece Kinder by Nature Unscented Baby Wipes was shortlisted at the Mother&Baby awards 2018 in the Best Baby Wipes category. Looking for a baby wipe for children with sensitive skin or eczema? Jackson Reece Kinder by Nature Baby Wipes is ideal. With more than 99 per cent of the ingredients coming from natural vegetable or plant extracts. Jackson Reece formulas do not use any nasty chemicals.

One of our parent testers said: "The wipes are a lovely soft material, and I felt reassured using them on my baby's skin. The wipes had a great level of moisture throughout (i.e. from the first wipe in the pack to the last wipe), and the packet seal remained sticky, which kept the packet closed when not used, which meant there was no leakage of moisture when transporting in a tightly packed baby bag. You receive a good amount of wipes per pack, and individual wipes were a great size, so good enough to do a thorough cleaning job without having to use an excessive amount of wipes."

We're always looking for more eco-friendly options, so when these Mum + You 100% Biodegradable Vegan wipes (12 x 56 wipes) hit the shelf, we were keen to try them. As well as being biodegradable, they are also vegan, so they tick a lot of environmental boxes. They're made from 99.4 per cent water and no plastic; the packaging is recyclable too. That said, the biggest benefit is that they're mild and gentle for baby's skin. One of our parent testers said: "We have previously used biodegradable wipes before, and they always rip, but these are thick and are actually wet and aren't bone dry like some wipes, so you're not having to use a lot of them. I only use one, maybe two wipes a nappy, and that's more than enough!"

A well-known eco-friendly brand, The Cheeky Panda Bamboo Biodegradable Baby Wipes are made with bamboo fibres, they're sustainable and also kind to the planet. Containing just 99 per cent purified water and 1 per cent aloe vera and fruit extract, you can be sure there are no chemical nasties in them. They're made with all-natural ingredients, making them super soft on your babies' sensitive skin. They're also biodegradable, so just chuck them in the bin when you're done, and they'll break down rather than sticking around for years and ruining the planet. Reviews: Many reviewers bought these wipes because of their eco-credentials, but ended up loving them for other reasons including their thickness and effective use on sensitive skin. These wipes have recently changed formula, however, and no longer contain aloe vera. Some reviewers are unhappy about this and state that the previous formula was superior.
