...for a cheaper alternative to Johnsons but were shocked to realise that 2 of the supermarket ‘own brands’ we looked at contained alcohol. The wipes are ph balanced so they are not to acidic or base to dry or irritate skin. Johnsons claim that they are as mild as pure water and can be used from top to toe on a baby. While we have found this to be true, I would still recommend that parents do a patch test first to ensure that their child does not take ... ...like soap they do not contain lanolin which can also irritate and tighten skin (think how the skin on your adult face feels when you wash it with soap)
So what else are they good for:

Some fool (uncle) bought Kieran a Real Army Camouflage Make Up Stick for his birthday. Some fool (father) took both my sons to bed last night without checking their persons for secreted forbidden contraband.

You might even think I lost my temper as I viewed the carnage. Well, no so, so ner. I simply went downstairs to retrieve the box of Johnson's baby wipes. A few minutes, ten dirty little cloths and one load of laundry in the machine later, all was well and the soldiers barracked in the largest bedroom had metamorphosed into two miniature Gordon Ramseys of the Murphy kitchen.

...you?
I also find Johnsons wipes to be extremely slimy to the touch, this is more than likely down to the fact they are impregnated with Johnson's baby lotion but it is rather annoying when the mess you are cleaning is wet enough anyway. With my kids I am actually past (well almost) the dirty nappy stage. The twins do still use them, or rather I do, to wipe their bottoms after they have used the loo but mainly they are used for cleaning up after ... ...and their faces.
Johnson's are good enough to do this job I think, they do absorb quite a bit, they clean well and they don't seem to fall apart like some of the cheaper wipes can. Still not as good as Huggies on any of these counts though!
So far then they aren't doing so well are they? One way they do actually excel is the smell of this new variety. It's absolutely gorgeous, I don't quite know what I was expecting this to smell like, perhaps ...

Johnson's baby extra care baby wipes with aloe and willowherb, the one thing that I hated about the Johnson's wipes was that overpowering smell, this meant that even if they were giving them away I couldn't take them home .
Yesterday I found these new wipes on special, £1.99 in Safeway instead of £2.99, so me in desperate need of wipes thought I would give Johnson's another chance and I am glad I did.
I don't seem to get through many wipes these ... ...them the most so I try to keep an extra packet in hand.
The smell is a little too strong but its a really nice smell I can only smell the aloe because I don't know what the willow herb smells like, but as well as the smell they are so soft, very strong and just the right wetness i.e. not too wet and not too dry, which means they are wet enough to get rid of the worst dirty bums and leave the skin refreshed and clean.
What more could you ask for ...

...Thank goodness for these wipes. Johnsons have been one of many players in the baby wipe business. Someone has thought of taking sheets of linen cloth, impregnating them with a pleasant smelling moisturising lotion, Johnsons in this case, and selling them in handy plastic packs to mothers everywhere to help with keeping babies bottoms clean. By making them out of thin and therefore pliable cloth and impregnating them with a lotion that cuts through ... ...is not advised.
Johnsons baby wipes are for cleaning bits of your baby but come in useful for cleaning all sorts of nooks and crannies. In fact there are some members of Ciao who use them for their own bits and pieces (you know who you are!). They are available from all supermarkets and Chemists and cost £3.37 for a double refill pack. That is 144 wipes. Johnsons recommend you keep the packaging away from baby to prevent accidental suffocation. ...

Here I am, sat waiting for my Ebay auction to finish (I'm selling), the price having gone way above my expectations, so though I would write my first op that I've written in absolute ages!
So why have I chosen to write about baby wipes?? After all, my son is hardly a baby anymore, he'll be 8 in Oct and I certainly don't plan on having any more!

I first came across Johnson's baby wipes after the birth of my son, in the hospital I was given a Bounty Overnight Gift Pack which had a full, new packet of the Johnson's Aloe Vera Wipes which was a touch of luck as I'd forgotten to pack any wipes for my stay in hospital.
Alas, I'm not going to write about the Johnson's Aloe Vera, for this review I shall write about the original Johnson's baby skincare wipes. Whilst walking around Tesco one day ... ...by no means a surprise as I seem to live in the baby section of every shop recently. Anyway back to the review. I knew we were short on baby wipes so thought I'd see what their prices were like, to my surprise Johnson's wipes were on BOGOF (Buy-One-Get-One-Free), I'm known never to miss an offer so I piled a couple of packets into the trolley.
Johnson's baby skincare wipes come in a pale pink packet with a stripe of pale blue almost flowing across ...

Advantages: kind to skin Disadvantages: more costly
When the non-smiling end of your baby emits a drmatic noise and an equally dramatic smell, you may pale in terror. You may reach for baby wipes and arm yourself as you advance on the dire contents of the latest nappy. The problem with some wipes is that they don't all make cleaning easier and some can irritate little bottms, making nappy rash worse.
I've worked my way round a lot of brands in the last few months - between the freebies and the random ... ...these, especially in the first few weeks, so getting the right ones is really important.
Wipes need to be strong enough not to fall apart when you try and use them, soft enough not to abrade the little botty, fragrant enough to mask the grim poo smell, and in an ideal world, soothing to the sore skin that babies often get. Own brand wipes tend to be rough and abrasive, and most wipes don't do anything to moisturise skin.
Without a shadow of a doubt, ...

I used to use 'proper' facial cleansing wipes like Nivea and Garnier Synergie until I realised I was wasting my money. They cost maybe 4 pounds for 25 wipes and if you use them morning and night it really adds up. I'd watched the adverts for Johnson & Johnson baby lotion and seen how it it also suitable for removing make up and cleansing, and I figured that if the lotion worked for this then the wipes which contain the exact same lotion should aswell. ... ...my friends with whom I was shopping WHY I was buying baby wipes (no, I hadn't secretly given birth and nor was I about to) things went well. The wipes themselves are designed, as far as I can tell, for babies' bottoms, but don't let that put you off. They are gorgeous and soft, and much larger than the Nivea equivalent. They cleanse effectively without leaving behind any greasy residue, they are great at removing make up and best of all, they're ...

Advantages: They smell lovely, just the right amount of lotion and sensitive to baby's skin Disadvantages: More expensive than some brands
Johnson’s Baby wipes are slightly more expensive than their competitors brands are but I can honestly say that I try not to use any others unless I really have to. We have tried several different brands including boots and Babies R Us own brands but none of them come anywhere close to the quality of Johnson’s.
They are of a good thickness and, unlike some wipes, there is not too much lotion in them. This is great because some wipes I ... ...left a lot of residue which in turn has to be wiped away. As with all Johnson’s products, the wipes are very gentle for babies and are the only ones I feel comfortable using when wiping my baby’s face.

I have never experienced any problems with rashes/reactions etc plus his bottom is always smooth and nappy rash free when I have used these ...

Advantages: soft Disadvantages: wet at the bottom of the pack
You cant beat Johnsons babywipes for the quality and value for money. When you try to save yourselves a few pence buy buying other brands of baby wipes you find that your not really saving money as the other brands tend to be smaller (particularly Tesco's own) and not as thick and so you use twice as many, Johnson's babywipes are also the only ones to have there no more tears formula baby lotion on them so there safe to use on the face.
I do think ... ...could find a way of making sure that every baby wipe pos up ofter the next one, there is nothing more annoying then when your changing a dirty bottom to reach for the next wipe only to find it has not 'popped up' especially when you have one hand holding two babylegs in the air. And I also find that whatever wipe you use the last few always tend to be wringing wet so you have to store them upside down.

Advantages: soft and smooth Disadvantages: quite expensive
Johnson's baby wipes, as all brands, come in 2 varieties cloth and paper. Just forget about the paper ones straight away as these are far too rough to be used as a multi purpose wipe to head to toe clean your baby. Johnson's cloth wipes come in pink packaging and there are 80 in a pack, and dependant upon where you purchase them several multibuy format may be available - buy these as it will bring the price back to what single pack own label products.
