Wet wipes are often simply irreplaceable, and with the arrival of a baby in the family, you cannot do without them. They may be needed both in unforeseen situations and in completely everyday situations - when changing a diaper. Only the skin of a baby is different from the skin of an adult, so the napkins must be special, one that will not harm. In this article from the Russian brand of goods for the whole family, YokoSun, we look at what to look for when choosing and using baby wipes.
Why should you use baby wipes when caring for your baby?
Children's skin is thinner than that of adults. Because of this, it is more susceptible to mechanical damage. She is also more often prone to dryness due to the fact that the sebaceous glands produce less sebum. The latter not only moisturizes the skin, but also protects it from aggressive external influences - for example, sunlight or bacteria.
Regular wet wipes are made without taking into account the characteristics of a baby's skin. They may contain alcohol or harsh fragrances. Such wet wipes can harm a child's sensitive skin: making it drier and susceptible to pathogenic microorganisms. The material of the napkins itself may not be soft enough and cause mechanical damage.
Baby wipes: what to consider when choosing?
- Age marking
The very first thing you should pay attention to is whether the product is suitable for baby care. If you are choosing wet wipes for a baby, give preference to products whose packaging is marked 0+. This means that during production the manufacturer took into account the characteristics of babies’ skin.
- Hypoallergenic composition
Baby wipes must be hypoallergenic; manufacturers indicate this information on the packaging. But even if you find a product with such a label, check its composition. Make sure that the impregnation does not contain alcohol, fragrances or other aggressive substances, such as sodium laurisulfate or chlorine. They can cause irritation to the baby's skin.
- More water - less stickiness
It is believed that the more water in the impregnation of baby wet wipes, the better for the baby’s skin. Therefore, experts recommend using napkins whose impregnation consists of 90% or more of simple purified water. This will prevent your baby's skin from feeling sticky. For example, YokoSun Premium baby wipes are 99.9% saturated with purified water and do not leave a “soapy” effect on the skin.
- Expiration date
It is important that napkins have an expiration date, which you also need to pay attention to. The fact is that over time, fungi and mold may appear in the packaging. Therefore, when purchasing separately, check whether the product has expired, as well as the integrity of the packaging.
Can baby wipes replace washing?
Baby wet wipes are indeed indispensable in many cases, but you can’t completely give up cleaning, they should remain in your skincare routine.
Ordinary water is unlikely to cope with some contaminants. For example, wet wipes or washing with a mild detergent may be better for changing a diaper. Feces and urine affect the baby’s delicate and sensitive skin, which wet wipes will help to clean thoroughly, while ordinary water is unlikely to do the job. In addition, napkins are simply more convenient.
How can you tell if wet wipes are not suitable for your child?
Different babies have different skin. This means that reactions may be different. The first indication that the wipes are not suitable for your baby will be the color of his skin.
After the first use, observe your skin reaction. If irritation appears on the skin within two hours, it takes on a red tint - most likely the wet wipes were not suitable for the baby. Increased dryness of the skin may also indicate this, if the rest of the care has not changed. Discuss care with a specialist.
How else can you use baby wipes? 4 unusual ways
Due to their composition, baby wipes are essentially a universal item. They can be used to care for the whole family and more.
- Makeup removal. The hypoallergenic composition of the impregnation will not harm the skin and will not leave irritation.
- Animal care. Pets often suffer from allergies, so baby wipes may be suitable for grooming, for example, on the road or on a walk.
- Caring for plastic toys. A quick and safe way to clean children's toys.
- Removing soap scum. Wet wipes do an excellent job of removing soap stains on different surfaces.
Which package of baby wipes should I choose?
The number of napkins in the package also matters. It is important to decide on the purposes of use. For example, YokoSun baby wipes come in different packaging.
To save your family budget, choose wet wipes that are easy to remove from the package one at a time, and also have a secure lid. This will prevent the product from drying out, due to which the entire package can be thrown away.
