Best Baby Wipes of 2019
Wipes are a diapering essential. Here are the best baby wipes according to thousands of parents.
Whether youâre tending to your baby on a changing table in your nursery or from a diaper bag in the backseat of your car, youâll want to have baby wipes on hand. Theyâre the heavy lifters of diaper duty, swiping away yuck and freshening up that adorable applebottom.
How to Choose a Baby Wipe
Which wipe you choose will depend on your personal preference. Texture and level of wetness can vary, and itâs hard to know what youâll like best before trying a brand out. Many families try a few options before finding the wipe they stay with for the long haul.
Here are some factors to consider before you put a box in your cart:
- Price: Package sizes vary from brand to brand. The easiest way to compare prices is to determine the cost per wipe. However, you may end up using more wipes if theyâre cheaper quality.
- Environment: If youâre concerned about the environmental impact of using wipes, look for reusable or biodegradable types.
- Ingredients: All wipes are nontoxic, but some are also hypoallergenic, fragrance-free or made with all-natural ingredients, which can be helpful if your little one has sensitive skin.
- Quantity: You can usually save money buying in bulk, but keep in mind that if you donât go through the wipes fast enough, some may dry out. Also, youâll want a few smaller packs to toss in your diaper bag.

Trusted by Hospitals
Why We Love It
These wipes are the top choice among hospitals and we can see why: theyâre 20 percent thicker than other wipes, making them feel soft like cloth but sturdy enough to deal with the toughest messes. Theyâre also hypoallergenic and fragrance free. Fun fact: you can earn gifts with every Pampers purchase by joining Pampers Rewards.
Keep in Mind
These wipes seem a bit smaller in size than other brands. Also, Pampers offers another line of wipes called Pampers Aqua Pure that are 99 percent water.
What Babylist Parents Say
âVery strong but gentle. Not weak like other brands.â -Hannah
Price breakdown: $11.59 for 448 wipes (price per wipe is $.025)
Plant-Based Ingredients
Why We Love It
We like Babyganics for what it has (a moisturizing blend of sunflower, cranberry, tomato, and raspberry seed oils) as much as for what it doesnât: alcohol, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial dyes or fragrances.
Keep in Mind
Though they donât have any added fragrance, some people dislike the way these wipes smell.
What Babylist Parents Say
âLove the all natural ingredients and great texture and value for the quality.â -Jennifer
Price breakdown: $19.99 for 400 wipes (price per wipe is $.05)
Easiest to Use
Why We Love It
These wipes are wetter than others, which helps them separate more easily. Why does this matter? When youâre trying to keep a wiggly baby in place with one hand and grab a wipe with the other, the last thing you need is to struggle pulling a wipe out or end up with three sheets instead of one.
Keep in Mind
Because they are so wet, Huggies wipes tend to be drippy.
What Babylist Parents Say
âHuggies wipes are the perfect balance of strong and soft.â -Britni
Price breakdown: $27.34 for 648 wipes (price per wipe is $.04)
Ultra Gentle
Why We Love It
The simplest ingredientsâwater and a touch of grapefruit seed extract to prevent moldâmake these wipes gentle enough for even the most sensitive newborn skin. Thereâs no other disposable wipe as pure as these.
Keep in Mind
Because these wipes donât have chemical preservatives, they can develop mold more quickly. Donât purchase too many at one time and avoid putting them in a wipe warmer.
What Babylist Parents Say
âLove the fact that itâs almost all waterâvery safe for sensitive babies.â -Jaclyn
Price breakdown: $14.10 for 240 wipes (price per wipe is $.06)
Environmentally Friendly
Why We Love It
Most parents who choose reusable wipes also use cloth diapers and can just throw everything in the wash together. Over time, using cloth wipes can save you money, and thereâs really no alternative better for the environment than going this route. Plus, these wipes are incredibly soft.
Keep in Mind
Youâll need about two to three dozen cloth wipes. Since these are dry cloths, youâll need to use warm water to wipe messes.
What Babylist Parents Say
âCloth wipes work much better than disposable ones. A mess that takes two or three disposables takes only one cloth.â -Deb
Price breakdown: $16.45 for 12 reusable wipes
Biodegradable Wipes
Why We Love It
If resusable wipes arenât your thing but you will want a wipe with less impact on the environment, these might be your pick. Made from organic bamboo, which is a more sustainable source than traditional trees, theyâre free of things like fragrance, alcohol and phthalates, and best of all, these wipes are compostable in as little as four weeks.
Keep in Mind
While Caboo wipes biodegrade, they are not flushable.
Price breakdown: $16.99 for 216 wipes (price per wipe is $.08)
