5.0 out of 5 stars Great Non-Toxic Disposable Wipe Alternative!, April 2, 2010

According to the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database, these are the least toxic wipes you can buy. After discovering the unscented Target-brand wipes we use contained a nasty chemical called 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol which ranks as a 10 (worst) hazard, we were eager to find an alternative like the Tushies brand. We first tried Seventh Generation - which is comparable price-wise - but they gave my daughter a nasty rash on her bum, and besides they were so dry it took far too many to wipe her completely clean.

What I like about the Tushies wipes is primarily the short list of ingredients, all of which are considered to be relatively safe from a chemical standpoint. The wipes themselves are really moist, so it takes less of them to clean up after a messy diaper, an important factor when you're paying so much per pack of wipes. The wipes are attached to one another, like paper towels, with perforations between each individual wipe. This may take a little getting used to. If you don't already have some tubs lying around, you might want to start with a tub, because the refills would make for a difficult diaper change if you're pulling them directly from the package.

Unlike commercial wipes, the Tushies do tear easily (like if you pull them out of the tub too vigorously), but they stay together just fine during wiping. They do not, like commercial wipes, have that sliminess that transfers to baby's bottom or any other surface you wipe with them. Instead the liquid in them is more like a mild soap.

I'm really pleased with them, and after a week of use, I think I can safely say that they do not cause a rash in my daughter as 7th Generation's wipes did. However, don't expect that another sensitive child would react the same way to either brand. I'd recommend always trying one container before you make a huge investment in them. An ingredient that doesn't bother one child may well bother another. I've found none of these things are truly hypoallergenic.

Also, I wanted to correct to misinformation from another review on the plastic tubs containing phthalates and the idea that these may leach into the wipes. These tubs are made of polypropylene, which is inherently phthalate and BPA-free. It is also 100% recyclable, and is the same material Preserve recycles to create everything from eco-friendly toothbrushes and razors, to plastic dinnerware. I understand some people want to avoid plastics all together, and that's understandable, but if you were going to make an exception to a no plastic rule, I would choose polypropylene. This is not one of the dangerous plastics, it is food grade and widely used. If you want to avoid phthalates look for recycle code #3 (and sometimes #7). PVC is the phthalate-containing plastic.

If you're looking for a safer baby wipe, this is the best one out there.

I found out that ordinary or more common wipes had harmful chemicals in them so I decided o try these. I have been using them for over a year now. They are the best. I believe that they are even biodegratable. They work well, smell good, there is no difference from other brands I used other than I know they are not harming my baby !

We are actually using this product on my mom who had a stroke and is now bedridden. She reacted to many of the nursing home's products so we found this at a health food store and it works great. Buying it in bulk from Amazon saved mucho money.
