Advantages: smell, feel , effect

Disadvantages: none really, they are a must in the nappy area

A gentle whiff pervades the air. Screams echo in your ears and you know it is time. You can put it off no longer. It is time to change his nappy. So urgently you think of something that is very important to do, but urgently having to write an opinion on Dooyoo cuts no ice with your missus. Your boy is not impressed either so you steel yourself. You lay him down and undo his babygrow and peel back his nappy.

God it is carnage in there. Green smelly smear seems to have pervaded every crevice, The smell is rank. On top of it all, the boy wonder squeals with pure delight as his nappy is taken off and he is free to kick to his hearts content. Oh no, too late you realise he has dipped his sock in it and is managing to smear his green nappy just that bit further. What fun. Gross.

It is time for some serious cleaning. Out comes the Johnson Baby wipes. Like a knight in shining armour they wipe cleaner with every wipe. Cleansing well and supposedly moisturising as they go. I am not sure about that, things seem to be quite moist as it was. If the box says it, then it must be so. Two sheets later and things are pleasant again. Now you can enjoy your boy kicking and squealing as he kicks for Britain. I am sure he is another David Beckham.

A scene from the house of cabletow. 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, Johnson's 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 fatty residues, it makes cleansing easy, gentle and pleasant.

The moisturising lotion is made from a blend of aromatic chemicals that dissolves fat. So it works like soap. It contains no lanolin, which can sensitise some baby
's skin. It also contains no alcohol, which can smart if there is any broken skin. By cleansing effectively these wipes help prevent inflammation of the nappy area and cut down on the incidence of nappy rash. They dry quickly so they don?t leave your baby's skin damp as you replace his or her nappy. They biodegrade slowly so disposing of them by flushing 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 Dooyoo 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. The pack is resealable to keep the wipes moist and fresh. The packs are not bulky at all so storage is easy. This is important. Any one with a baby will tell you, There are so many accessories that come with them you need all the space saving features you can get.

We use them in preference to others as we find the smell less offensive and the texture is softer than many of their competitors. The price is similar and so they get our vote.

Thank you for reading. ♥
