Many parents find baby wipes to be a necessary part of their everyday life. Yet, many parents fail to understand how important it is to pick this product wisely. Picking the wrong baby wipe often leads to irritated skin, increased diaper rash, and other health concerns. If you are like most parents and have a hard time depriving yourself of the convenience of disposable baby wipes, your best bet is to avoid anything scented, since “fragrance” or “parfum” almost always means pthlalates (known endocrine disruptors). Additionally, many conventional wipes contain parabens, and some also contain phenoxyethanol, a suspected carcinogen. In particular, “natural” or “organics” wipes might contain phenoxyethanol as a preservative. Huggies, Pigeon and many popular wipes in the market contains harmful ingredients which I do not recommend for babies. Im using Petit Flo baby wipes which are the better (and safer) choice for babies: 1) Made in Korea 2) Do not contain artificial preservatives, artificial pigment, alcohol, fragrance, colorings, parabens, formaldehyde or mineral oil 3) enriched with camellia oil for baby's sensitive skin

They used to be on qoo10 n Lazada but recently discontinued. They are rolling out new and improved range soon. Maybe u can check petit Flo Facebook page?

Price, no harsh chemicals, easy to pull out, thickness are consideration factors. What I did in the beginning was to just buy one pkt of each brand to try which one I like best. Stuck with LEC cause I felt they give very good value for money. I bought a carton from lazada during sale and it was only ard $2 plus a pkt. I like that there's no strong chemical smell when I use it and it comes out one piece by one rather easily. I also like that it's not tooo thick actually. Cos I feel too thick very wasteful hahaha.. But that's me. So far my boy's bum likes it. No adverse reactions.

I think every mum has their own preference. I stuck my Pigeon because I like that it's really moist and it doesn't tear easily thought it may look quite thin. It's gentle on skin as well. I also like the box that comes with it making it easier to pull out. (Imagine pulling tissue paper out from the box but it's wet wipes) However I do have friends who doesn't like it and went for Huggies & Bosomi which I tried and dislike it because of its texture (very thick) and no box.

For me, the wipes have to fit the following criteria: - must not be too expensive - "wet" enough not to dry out once packet has been opened - big enough so that poop doesn't seep through I find that Organic Story works pretty well for me. It's $32.90 per cartoon (10 packets) and each packet has 70pcs each. I usually buy them at babyfairs

I am using that is suitable for my baby. He cannot use wipes that are too "wet", if he uses those his skin will break. I am using this wipe, it is not too dry and also not too wet. To add on, the wipes are thick enough for wiping poo. You can get them at baby fairs which is cheaper. One carton for about $52 (price depends)

Try pigeon moisturizing cloth! It has checkered design so as to easily wipe away the poop. And because it's cloth like material, it is thick. And it's lined with lanolin to prevent diaper rash. Plus side: the sheets are easily taken out (1 hand system). Love love love it.

I'm using e same as Reine. e wetness is just nice and it does not have scent on it. I tried tollyjoy wiping my hands but it seems to be leaving a sticky feeling and troublesome part, it is too wet and stick together. quite troublesome to open up to use in emergency time.

I have been using Himalaya Herbals Gentle Baby Wipes for my baby. - It is gentle on her skin. - It has a good fragrance (lotus flower). - There are no problems of rashes. - The wipes are thick and don't tear away. - Acts as a good moisturizer.

I usually look out for wet wipes that are chemical free and with no harsh ingredients. But eventually switched to making my own wet wipes as that way I know for sure what goes inside the wet wipes. It's easy to make and it's also extremely cost effective.
