WaterWipes Original Baby Wipes

"5.0 out of 5 stars" - We were using babyganics wipes on our newborn and they seemed to be tolerated reasonably well for her diaper area (some mild redness in the area) but, after a week and a half she showed the beginnings of a diaper rash and diaper creams really didn't help at all. The other wipes also irritated the skin on her face and triggered redness/inflammation of any milia she had. After reading how newborn skin is so sensitive and reactive to almost anything other than water I thought I would give the DermaH2O wipes a try. They have been splendid! The skin on her face and neck stays nice and unirritated when cleaned with these and the mild redness in her diaper area became fainter within a day or two of the switch.I also started using a hair dryer set to low heat at around 6-8" distance to completely dry her diaper area after every change before sealing up her new diaper and the results are perfect! The rash that was starting went away and the skin on her bottom now looks just like the rest of her skin - no redness or irritation at all.DermaH2O wipes + warm hair dryer for super dry bum = perfect baby skin & a very comfy baby!I won't buy any other wipe again.Note that I do keep one finger near her bum while using the dryer so I can monitor how much heat she is being exposed to and adjust distance/time accordingly. She actually loves the hair dryer part of the change and gets very calm and looks rather "blissed out" when the warm air hits her (the sensitive parts are completely covered by the natural anatomy so its nothing erotic, just warm air on the exterior skin).Update: After a year we are still sticking with these. We tried a couple other "sensitive" skin baby wipes such as the Lansinoh wipes when we ran low between orders and she had the beginnings of a diaper rash within a day. Back to the DermaH20 wipes and it was gone within another day or two.Unlike some other reviewers, we have never had even a speck of mold on any of the wipes and I am very sensitive to the smell of mold so I would be quick to notice it even if it wasn't terribly visible. Not sure if we are doing something differently from those have had this issue; we keep some in a wipe warmer on the changing table and there is usually an opened, partially used pack of wipes in each of the two diaper bags we have. The opened packages in the diaper bags go unused for long stretches of time and I think it takes us a couple months to use up the wipes in these bags but still no signs of mold and they have surprisingly never dried out either and I didn't have them in any special container just the bag they came in. For us, they have continued to smell fresh and look clean even 2 months after the pack has been opened. The mold issue could possibly be regional. Perhaps we don't have the same strains of mold here in Southern California and what we do have is sufficiently inhibited by the amount of grapefruit extract that is in the wipes. I certainly have seen plenty of moldy fruits and leftovers around here but no problems with the wipes.For any parents struggling with diaper rash I really recommend giving these a try and try a low heat hair dryer to get the skin completely dry before sealing up each new diaper (think "as dry as the back of your arm" as the goal). The main contributors to diaper rash are leaving urine residues on the skin (they react with components of the poop to produce ammonia right on the baby's skin) and leaving skin constantly moist (breaks down the hydrophobic barrier of the outside layer of skin). Everyone knows that leaving baby in soiled diapers too long causes rash but sealing diapers with skin still wet from wipes can do it too. Avoid wipes with any kind of emulsifier or typical lotions that are mostly water with emulsifiers and a little oil - both of these will trap water against the skin and degrade the hydrophobic barrier making rashes more likely. Adults don't have this problem with lotions (I slather myself with them regularly) because the outermost layer of skin gets much thicker after after early childhood. Before we left the hospital after she was born a nurse taught us that the only thing that really helps the diaper area is petroleum jelly because it can restore "waterproofness" to the skin until it heals. This advice turned out to be pretty much correct although I did have good results with pure organic olive oil (I preferred this to petroleum products) to help her recover from the rashes she did get when we tried other wipes.Give these wipes a try and good luck with your little ones.
