Best Wipes – I have been using these wipes for a very long time my youngest has sensitive skin and he gets NO reaction they are thick and stay moist no fingers getting covered in you know what. I am so disappointed that they have been taken off the shelf I brought the replacement and I DO NOT LIKE they are small in size and very thin will not buy again...PLEASE BRING ORIGINAL BACK!!!!

Best wipes on the market – These wipes are the best I have ever used. I have been using them for 6 years nearly with my two boys and they have caused no issues. They are really thick and wet which means you don't poke your finger through them when wiping as with some of the wipes on the market. They are really cheap too. The fragrance free pack has a slight smell of aloe vera but other than that best wipes on the market Show details
These wipes are fine to me – I have had no problems with rashes or burning etc either has my son bought them a while ago as they are my 3rd choice in wipes and they were ok then too I find the old comfy bot or the new CUB brand wipes are a lot harsher and chemical smelling than these! Show details

Do not buy! Horrible wipes! – Wish I had read these reviews before purchasing, I had used this on my six month old, and it caused a huge instant red rash on his face! Do not buy These wipes, it seems these reviews have been going on for over a year, I do not know how these products are still for sale. A formal complaint will be going into Coles Show details
They sting – Do not like these wipes sold by Coles. They stung my body upon application to my skin and they are far too wet to be practical for my use. Will not purchase again. Show details
Rough! – These wipes cause blotchy read patches on my son's face. He screamed when I wipes his face and now I feel terrible. Put the whole packet in the bin. I was just reading the reviews and every single one of them said this also. How can this be sold for babies if it's such a common occurrence?

These were the best wipes I’ve ever used – I used these wipes as makeup wipes, and they EASILY beat anything else I’ve ever used. I’m really disappointed that they’ve been taken off the shelf. I really hope they come back. I’m struggling to find a substitute. Show details
Coles little explorer wipes and where to buy now – After much research I have discovered an American health company called Seventh Generation made the Coles little explorer wipes for Coles. Last week I imported the seventh generation baby wipes and confirmed they are identical to the Coles little explorer wipes but packaging is visibly different. Show details
These were the best wipes on the market. Finding it hard to replace them – Hands down these wipes were the best on the market. I used for both my bubs, in the bathroom toilets as bathroom wipes, make up bag to remove make up and for general cleaning with a spray and wipe because they were really thick that they didn't deteriorate. I hope someone takes on them as a wipes supplier. Screw all these other reviews I'm devastated. Show details
Dangerous!!DONT USE! – Our 10 month old has just had a contact reaction to these wipes! Now realise a previous reaction was also from these wipes. Babies skin is red and blotchy all over where used. I then proceeded to use on my own face and is also burning! Please be aware! Don’t use
Dangerous do not use – I used these on my face and bum today and the wipes burned both areas instantly, my niece wiped her face with them yesterday and started crying saying her face was burning, it makes sense now after experiencing the pain (both incidents were from different packets) I don’t know how these wipes are legal to sell, do not use them return them and… Read more
boycott coles until this is rectified and until the corrupt scums who let these BABY WIPES pass inspection are caught and hung.
Children’s Skin Burning – This product needs investigating. Two of our kids started screaming after we wiped their faces after lunch. Burning eyes, painful skin rash. I tried it on myself with the same outcome. Happens within 30 seconds. Get this product off the market Coles. It’s damaging our babies and this feedback isn’t new.
Dangerous – As with so many others, my 6 month old daughter screamed and broke out in dark red dots all over her face where we had wiped her after eating. Seriously scary. She was in a lot of pain. No idea how or why they still have this product for sale.

Dangerous – After a messy breakfast, I used the baby whipe to clean my babies face and almost immediately he broke out in a red rash on the area I had used the whipe. The packadging says it is fragrance free for sensitive skin but there is certainly a chemical in this whipe that is causing a terrible reaction. It is a scary thought that they could potentially… Read more
be using a dangerous chemical. Certainly not worth the risk and would NOT recommend this brand to anyone!
Why are these still on the market? – I don't have a baby. Bought these to help care for my mother. It's a hot day so my husband and I used a couple to wipe and cool our faces. Our faces are now red and with a burning sensation. I'm now worried about using them on my mother.
Burnt & blistered face – Used these on my face & I have a horrible burning sore rash all over my face, I'm getting married next month & very upset & distressed by this. It's like massive blisters. My son also has a red sore rash but his didn't go into blisters. Do not buy these wipes.
Terrible! – I buy these wipes all of the time for my daughter. I wiped my face with one and broke out in a horrible burning rash. It felt like a layer of my skin had be burnt off! I read all of the reviews and nearly everyone Has had similar reactions. They are meant to be hypo allergenic, for sensitive skin!
Red face rash – These wipes were at my mothers house so i only used one and my 12 month old broke out in a big red rash. Even after washingnwith water it didnt calm down for an hour. We havr never had any problems with huggies or big w wipes. I wish i had seen the reviews here before using the coles ones
"Fragrance free", I think not – Overall these wipes are good. Price, thickness and availability. My little one did not seem to have any reaction (in the short time I used them) However, for a 'fragrance free wipe' their odour is horrendous! After mentioning something to hubby (to double check it wasn't just me) we put the unfinished packet in the garbage.
Nasty Red Face Rash 11 month old – I bought these to save money and regret the decision now. My poor boy had a really messy face and arms from dinner. I used a wipe and he started screaming. i thought he was just tired and being grumpy but he went red everywhere i had wiped. We had to stand under running cold water for 20 min before it calmed down. Never had this issue with any other brand. I used the fragrance free version too.
Great wipes. Terrible opening – I really like these wipes but opening them is a big hassle. The last packet ended up ripping open and I had to then seperate them into two zip lock bags to use which is very annoying. It's a shame that the don't offer the hard lid option that I can then refill like huggies.
Burning rash – These wipes gave my daughter an awful swollen red rash all over her face and neck. Initially I thought it was a food allergy, but then realised the rash happened after i would wipe her face after meals. I wiped my face with them and my skin went very tingly and felt like it was burning. Im devastated that i used these wipes on my baby's skin.

Take care when using on sensitive skin – Please be careful using these wipes on sensitive areas of skin. Our two year old broke out in a rash about 1minute after wiping her face after a messy meal of scrambled eggs. We were initially concerned as we thought it may have been a reaction to the food. I then picked up a wipe to wipe my face and I broke out in a similar rash on my face. It… Read more
felt like my face was burning.
We immediately rinsed our faces with cold water and the reaction to the wipes disapated after about 30mins. We have used these wipes on our other two girls when they were little with no reaction. They may have changed the product or it might just be our youngest and me that has a reaction to this product.
I have a photo of the reaction and will more than happily share if anyone is interested.
From good to bad – We've used these wipes on and off for a while, but the last batch has caused our girls to break out in a rash all over their faces. Neither have sensitive skin, so this must be saying something about what is in the wipes. We will not be buying these again, which is a shame because they used to be a good product.
Good value for money! – While not as good as some others they do come close. Gentle on the skin. Don't break easily and very moist. The best part is the low price and availability. They also work really well for removing makeup! I also like that there's no scent. They're thicker than some other brands too so are good for holding messes. The only downfall is that they don't seem to come in bulk packs.
Another reaction here – Used these wipes previously for my first born once he was older. Love how thick they are. Used them on my 5 month old and he broke out in a huge rash all over his face. Tested again and same thing. Other brands of wipes don't do this. Will never buy these again.
Allergy reaction! – My 14 month old daughter never had an allergy reaction to any of the wipes I've ever used except for these. As soon as I wipe her face with them it goes red!bi started to worry as the redness too awhile to disappear like someone else also said Coles should look into this. I didn't mind trying these as they're fragrance free and dermatologically tested. Never again!
allergic reaction – My 2 year old wiped her entire face with one of these wipes and her whole face was red and inflamed. She said it burned her. I put her in a bath and rinsed her skin with cool water. Took a while for the redness to go away. I won't be using these ever again.
Not too shabby – .. for the price! Thick wipes that don't drip with wetness. I find these better than some of the more recognised brands. They do the job well, whether it be for dirty butts or sticky fingers. My only issue is the brand .. I like to support local where I can
Fantastic overall! – I believe this is the new version of the Coles scented thick baby wipes and I think they are great! It is stated on the pack that they are paraben and soap free as well as enriched with camomile, aloe, vitamins, etc. For $3 per pack, I think they are great value, wipes are thick and stay intact, very moist and never had issues with nappy rash. I… Read more
love the scent and the wipes are made in USA, not in China or else. The only thing I would suggest improving, is the softness of the wipes - they are not rough, but I think a softer weave would make these wipes hard to fault! Also a few times the flap of the packet didn't quite close, but despite that the wipes were always moist. Overall it's a great product!
Really good quality wipes, not great for the environment though – These are the best quality wipes I've tried, and also one of the cheapest. Thick, stay wet, easy to remove from packaging and easy to get out one at a time. However, I've chosen not to keep using them because I wanted to switch to bamboo wipes because of their lower environmental impact.
Baby broke out in a instant rash – read the ingredients and stay clear! how can they make something for the use on baby's skin that are well known for releasing Formaldehyde, and all sorts of chemicals shame on them parents beware our babys do not need these things on there skin :(
Thick, strong and perfect for my sensitive hands and child – I tried these after my hands started breaking out in dermatitis when using Huggies wipes and i haven't looked back. my hands are no longer effected by dermatitis, my baby is no longer irritated or getting rashes from wiping either. this product is very thick quality and suitable for my baby who suffers from eczema skin condition.
Not bad – I tried these because they were fragrance free (the thought being less unnecessary chemicals) however they had a fairly strong chemical smell. They were very well priced. They were nice and thick. One of the problems I am having with all brands is getting one or two out of the container at a time - often you get multiple. The coles brand was… Read more
better at getting the correct number of wipes out then the competitors. Didn't have any issues with rashes etc. Cheap had a chemical smell which was not pleasant - but at least didn't have added chemicals to hide that smell
Does the job but not particularly moist and definitely not as soft as other wipes – I bought these as a quick pit stop purchase as we were out and about and i couldn't bring myself to buy my usual brand as the single packet price was excessive - especially since i had several sitting at home which i had bought as a bulk buy for cheaper than the individual packet price. I used these wipes just once for that particular single… Read more
outing as i found them quite dry and "hard" compared to my usual brand. I didn't find anything particularly thick about them although maybe my expectations of thickness were a bit high, or i was thinking "thick must equal more moisture". In saying that though, there is nothing wrong with these wipes as they do the job, but Ive been spoilt using the Curash and J&J wipes so the remainder of my Coles wipes have been used for cleaning hands and faces.
To put my review/ opinion into perspective, when i first moved from J&J to Curash, initially I didn't like that the Curash wipes were so moist as sometimes when i pulled the wipes out, liquid actually splashed out of the packet (which it still does on occasion). I guess its all dependent on what you as a mother like to use and whether or not it suits your babies skin. i would still recommend these wipes to someone who was looking for a cheaper alternative to Curash or J&J. inexpensive in comparison to other brands not as moist or soft as other brands
