PAED PREFERRED REVIEW:
I really like these wipes. They are very effective cleansers despite essentially being water. They are as easy to use as all other baby wipes, and feel nice on the skin. For babies who are particularly sensitive to wipes containing chemicals, they are ideal.
The only downside is expense. They can be 4-6 times the cost of other wipes, generally at about 12c/wipe (at the time of writing). Buying in bulk does not lower the cost. The wipes are made in Ireland, where the cost is about 7c/wipe, so obviously much of the cost is in shipping/duties/etc.
