1. Pay attention to the ingredients of wet wipes - liquid preparation
The main ingredient of wet wipes is the "liquid" inside! The preparation of baby wipes is not complicated. It is mainly processed pure water, with some nutrients, skin care, moisturizing and other ingredients added, such as aloe vera, chamomile, green tea, etc. are common. But it’s best not to have too many additives. The relatively important component of the solution is antibacterial, because when cleaning the baby's excrement, antibacterial wet wipes can reduce the harm of germs to the baby. Some wipes contain chamomile, a plant native to England. It should be noted that chamomile’s main function is anti-allergy, not antibacterial.
2. Pay attention to sealing
When choosing wet wipes, be sure to look at the sealing properties of the packaging, because the effectiveness of the sterilization and disinfection effects of wet wipes will be higher if the packaging is well sealed. Novice parents should immediately attach the sealing strip after removing the wet wipes to avoid high temperatures or direct sunlight, so as not to cause the wipes to dry out and affect their effectiveness.
3. Pay attention to the feel─material
Material: The raw material of baby wipes should be spunlace non-woven fabric. Spunlace refers to a non-woven fabric forming process. It is divided into two types: direct lamination and cross lamination. Direct lamination has poor tensile strength and is thinner. The more transparent ones are prone to deformation and fluffing, which can cause discomfort to the baby; cross-lay netting is also called vertical and horizontal netting, which is tensile and basically does not deform, and the cloth is thick and not easy to penetrate. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers will use cotton or fiber materials instead. Wet wipes made of these materials are prone to mold and deterioration. There are impurities on the cloth and they are prone to fluffing during use.
Ingredient ratio: The main ingredients of spunlaced non-woven fabrics used for baby wipes are viscose (natural fiber mainly cotton) and polyester (chemical fiber). The higher the viscose content, the better the quality, and the softer the towel body. The water absorption and water retention properties are also better, so the cost and price are also higher. Baby wipes are considered good if the ratio of viscose and polyester is 5:5, and the feel and water absorption rate are also considered OK.
Thickness: The thickness of non-woven fabric is expressed in gm2, which refers to the weight per square meter. Usually 50g non-woven fabric means the weight per square meter is 50g. Of course, thicker wet wipes are better, but the non-woven fabric used for baby wipes Most of the fabrics are between 40g-60g. The 50g non-woven fabric is the choice of most mothers. Although it is not the highest grade, the c/p value is relatively high.
4. Pay attention to the wear resistance of the product
Wet wipes must be wear-resistant to have a good cleaning effect, and they will cause less irritation to the baby's skin.
Test method: Wipe a flat surface with a wet wipe 70 times, and compare the degree of fluff on the surface of the wet wipe. If the surface of the wet wipes is not obviously fluffed after use, it can basically be considered to be of good quality.
5. Pay attention to the moisturizing properties of the product
One of the key points of wet wipes is "moisturizing", which is the water content. Good wet wipes can leave a protective film on the skin after wiping to protect the baby's tender skin.
6. Pay attention to product information
Manufacturers with unclear information are basically not trustworthy. Things to pay attention to include production date, manufacturer, factory address, phone number, shelf life, active ingredients, production batch number, health license number, implementation health standard number, instructions for use and precautions, etc. , through which you can understand the quality and credibility of the product. Therefore, if a new mother finds that the information is incomplete or vague, it is best not to buy it.
7. Pay attention to ensure hygiene
Try to choose formal channels such as large shopping malls, supermarkets, large website platforms, and corporate official websites to purchase. Do not use products with a production date that is too long. The shelf life of wet wipes is usually more than one and a half years. Many mothers will grab discounted products when shopping, so they will buy a lot of them and save them. Unless the mother consumes them quickly, it is not recommended. this way.
Tips: How to try baby wipes
When choosing a brand of wet wipes for your child, you can first buy a single piece or participate in an event to receive a trial package. After letting your baby try it a few times, observe whether there is any allergic reaction on its skin, or try it on the back of your hand first. If you feel the obvious smell of alcohol or irritation, don’t choose it.
