Wet Wipes

The wet wipes market is relatively new in India. There are a lot of unknown brands that are actually doing well in the market. I'm surprised that Pampers, Huggies, Johnson & Johnson havent introduced their wipes in India in a big way being the 'Grand Old Daddies' of baby products. Either they havent yet realised the market potential or they are making too much from their existing business, that they cant keep up.

There are many options - one for every one, meaning if you like scented or non-scented, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Now, Himalaya has introduced an Ayurvedic option. Its very nice and also priced well at Rs. 30 for 24 wipes, though it does have a strong Indian lotus scent.

There are a lot of benefits to using wet wipes, especially if your child has got a cold and you dont want to give your baby a bath but still give him / her a fresh feeling, then use a wet wipe. Dip it warm water during winter time and use it as is during summer time. And ofcourse, we cannot discount its usefulness when we travel.

Bella Wet Wipes are also very wet, non-alchoholic and non-scented, rather mildly scented. They are available in Bangalore, I'm waiting for it to be introducted in Hyderabad. I find MeeMee wipes very strongly scented and find Pigeon wipes over priced. Squeel wipes are pretty good and very cost effective at Rs. 125/- for 80 wipes. Another brand of wipes that I have heard a few mom's mention is FunBaby wipes from Tainwala. Havent checked it out yet but will do so shortly. Do post your feedback on the brand of wipes that you use for your baby. Would love to hear of new brands.
