I was just about to purchase these wipes when I noticed they contain Phenoxyethanol which the FDA has warned causes cancers and endocrine disruption. It's a substance (commonly found in cosmetics) that's now increasingly restricted in E.U. and Japan (and hopefully soon in the US). I'm shocked and dismayed Nature Babycare would use such a toxic substance in their purportedly "natural" product. I will definitely stay away from their wipes until they change their chemistry. Look up the ingredient yourself before you buy this product!

I bought a case of the unscented ones wipes and they do have a strange, unnatural smell to them which isn't offensive but not what I expected from an "unscented" product. The texture of the wipe is soft and they're not dry and get the job done as far as cleaning up.

I had actually emailed the manufacturer about a month ago to inquire what the difference was between these and the toddler wipes besides size (I have a 4 year old son who I like to do a final wipe on his bottom after pooping and am also expecting a new baby in a week and wanted a flushable, dual purpose wipe for both of them). Have not got an answer yet. Ingredients and materials appear to be the same according to their website.

In any event, they don't appear to irritate my 4 year son's bottom. So I started using them too to stay fresh 'down there,' but like one other customer said in previous review, they indeed irritate and burn! I'm not normally sensitive to any product but these do sting and I definitely will not be using them on my new baby because he won't be able to tell me if they hurt. I'm not sure if it's because my immunity is low due to being pregnant but it did cause redness and must have altered my pH because now I have a yeast infection.

I feel kind of guilty using them on my 4 year old but he's not complaining and I don't see any adverse effect, so I'll go through the case, and use them as makeup wipes too just to get my money's worth instead of throwing them out (they don't seem to irritate my face).

Will not be purchasing again.

the wipes are too dry and I find myself using multiple wipes for poop changes. I add water now, but I generally prefer 7th generation wipes. Also, I ordered unscented, but they sent scented and I don't care for the scent. The smell is "baby" whatever that is, not floral or herbal, tea tree would be better than this scent. I didn't think it was worth sending them back so I'm just dealing with it until I run out.

These wipes are very dry and have a strong floral scent (rose?) despite their unscented label. I wish I hadn't bought these in bulk. Next time I'll pay the extra few dollars for Seventh Generation or Tushies unscented wipes.

Thanks to the other review I did some of my own research - I wish I had done this BEFORE purchasing - would have saved me [...]

One of the top ingredients in this product has been deemed TOXIC by Europe and Japan - this is not a joke. DON'T BUY THESE WIPES! Here is the website to see for yourself - don't be confused by the two kinds, there is a Phenoxyethanol and a 2-Phenoxyethanol BOTH ARE TOXIC.

I have a 10 month old (my third) and have been using these wipes for over 6 months and love them. The price is great. The packaging is great (enviromentally speaking and just in general). Best of all, they work great! I order them by the case and (almost) never run out. A great find!

Such a great product. The wipes are compostable and the packaging is plastic free. If you are a "green" family, these are the wipes for you. With the subscribe and save program they are SO cost effective, cheaper than a department store!

What can you say about wipies? They work well, don't irritate and leave everything nice and clean, we hope.

These are labeled unscented, but they definitely have a strong scent, sort of an "artifical hyacinth". Not pleasant! We bought them for adult use while out and about and traveling (really convenient when faced with a port-a-john or other pulic restroom). But just as another reviewer said, they sometimes sting and irritate the skin! I feel sorry for infants who can't tell you if they are hurting, and would not use these again. I do like Seventh Generation as another "natural" alternative.

I took a chance on these since they were on sale - and boy, what a mistake. I have been using them for 2 days and I think they are awful. The wipes are so dry it's like using a kleenex. So I have to dampen these with water before each use. Ridiculous. I now have an entire case of this glorious fun. Back to Seventh Generation wipes for me. Love those.
