1. Size, thickness, and continuous use of wet wipes

Let’s not talk about the ingredients first. Good wet wipes must be comfortable to use, of sufficient size, of OK thickness, and most importantly, they can be continuously used.

If you use them several times in a row, you will take out a lot of wet wipes each time, and then put them back in. It’s not only annoying, but also unhygienic. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

2. Ingredients

There are many kinds of wet wipes on the market now. The most common ones are baby hand and mouth wet wipes, disinfection and antibacterial wet wipes, wet toilet paper, etc. Each wet wipe has different requirements

Baby hand and mouth wet wipes

The ingredients of the wet wipes used by our cute babies must be safe and the material must be soft. This will not hurt the baby's tender skin

Don't choose ingredients containing alcohol, fragrances, allergies, and various pure natural essences added on the market. Try to choose EDI pure water, and the material is cotton or high-quality spunlace non-woven fabrics

Disinfectant antibacterial wipes

Common ones are 75% alcohol wipes and antibacterial disinfectant wipes with other ingredients. After 3 years of the epidemic, everyone understands the benefits of 75% alcohol! Highly efficient disinfection, health protection, etc. The disadvantage is that it hurts the skin, really hurts. After 3-5 days of use, the hands become very rough.

When purchasing 75% alcohol wipes, pay attention to whether the merchant indicates that it contains 75% alcohol of the same solution or only 75% alcohol without indicating how much it contains. Avoid merchants playing word games. Buying wipes with low alcohol content will not have the effect of disinfection and sterilization.

Other antibacterial wipes, common ingredients on the market are: honeysuckle extract, Centella asiatica extract, Australian tea tree oil, benzethonium chloride, etc. Everyone is familiar with the previous contestants. They are extracted from pure natural herbal plants. Although the antibacterial and disinfection effects are not that strong, they are OK for daily use.

The focus is on introducing benzethonium chloride. Its disinfection effect has been proven to be much better than alcohol. Benzethonium chloride is also used for disinfection and sterilization before surgery in hospitals. It also has certain degreasing, deodorizing and corrosion inhibition capabilities.

Some people don't like alcohol because of its strong liquor taste. Benzethonium chloride solves this problem very well~

The disadvantage is that benzethonium chloride cannot be used to disinfect mucous membranes such as the mouth and eyes. It is slightly toxic and some people will have allergies and other side effects.

Wet toilet paper

The ingredients of wet toilet paper are simpler to choose.

First, the material of the face towel: it must be made of wood pulp cotton. If it blocks the toilet, it will be "stinky";

Second, the antibacterial rate. A good wet toilet paper can not only bring you a new experience in the toilet, but also protect you.

Common antibacterial ingredients are polyaminopropyl biguanide (0.2%), witch hazel with Formula, chamomile extract, aloe extract, chamomile essence, tea tree essential oil, benzalkonium chloride, etc.

Polyaminopropyl biguanide (0.2%) is an ingredient in many public antibacterial and mite removal products in the world (for example, L'Occitane, L'Oreal, Nivea, Maybelline, etc. are all using it). It can act as a quick-acting antibacterial helper. It can also be used by pregnant women if used properly

Benzalkonium chloride and benzethonium chloride have similar effects. Just be careful not to use them on mucous membranes

3. Material

The best material at present is pure cotton, which feels very thick and soft in the hand. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and has a low cost-effectiveness.

The second most common non-woven fabric is non-woven fabric. If you choose this type of material, you should choose one that is thick enough, has no burrs, and does not drop lint, so that wiping will not hurt the skin.

4. Packaging

It is recommended not to buy large packages of disinfectant wipes. If you cannot use them up in a short period of time, the disinfectant ingredients will weaken over time. It is recommended to use small packages or single-piece independent packaging.

For large packages, it is recommended that you choose double-layer sealing: sealing sticker + sealing cover design packaging. Some brands will use aluminum film inner wall design on the packaging material, which can also alleviate deterioration and prolong moisturizing.

In general, when choosing wet wipes, you can't just look at the brand, but also look at what effect of the wet wipes you choose, the corresponding size, thickness, ingredients, materials, packaging, etc.
