GAIA Natural Baby Bamboo

Useless and frustrating – It is difficult enough to pull one wipe out at a time when you have both hands free. When trying to change a nappy or holding a bottle, they tend to come out 5 (or more) at a time. Utterly useless and frustrating beyond belief. Show details

Terrible rash – These wipes burnt my babies bum. He was screaming every time I changed him and I was wondering if it was his food etc I did an elimination and it was these wipes!! Do not buy them, they aren’t for sensitive skin at all. Show details

The best baby wipes on the market! – These wipes are the best on the market! After having constant rashes and irritations on my sons skin, I decided to change to these bamboo wipes. I always thought some of the irritation my child got was from mainly his nappies, but since changing to these wipes ive realised the wipes I was using played a big part in the rashes. Since switching to… Read more

Gaia bamboo wipes I’ve had no problems with my child’s skin. They are hands down the best wipes on the market!

I like them – Have to say i am quite surprised to read all the bad reviews! My son had skin issues as a baby and I ended up trying all sorts of wipes and these ended up being my favourite. I still carry them in my bag for my 3 year old for face/hand cleaning on the go and will use them for my newborn.

Not amazing but good – When our child was born we initially used cotton wool & water but needed something for messier occasions. We found these at the chemist and bought a few multi packs. They are gentle on skin, don't have a fragrance & are biodegradable which I like. They are a little on the thin side though. I do also wish I could but them from the supermarket.

Very Disappointing – These wipes caused terrible rash on my child. As well as this they were thin and dry. The effect on his skin was so bad I ended up having to throw the remaining wipes away. Show details

Impossible to pull out one handed – The wipes are nicely scented but I hate using them. They’re thin and impossible to pull out they just keep joining together and don’t separate, you have to pull them apart yourself and it’s impossible to grab just one without pulling out 3 or 4. So you end up wasting so many wipes. I’ve used heaps of wipes brands and I hate these ones. Show details

serious rash – have been using it for two weeks, baby was crying the second i apply it on her, thought it was because of cold touch. how wrong was i, now a serious rash is developed and broken skin. never ever buy this product, it is too harmful to baby skin. Show details

Best wipes on the market – I started using using these on my newborn who is now 5 years old. I am now using them for my second child and they have been the best. There has been no rash for either of my babies. They have always been my go to. I love them so much. Highly recommend. Show details

I don't like the feel of them – Can't stand the feel of using these on bubs bum... I don't feel like they actually pick up any of the mess - they just move it around. Also - another company that can't seem to make their wipes come out one at a time. I just need one more wipe - I get 4. They're also VERY wet. I think that might be why they don't pick up the mess as well as others. Show details

Gave baby nappy rash – Bought a bulk pack when they were on special thinking I'd give them a try. Gave my baby terrible nappy rash, used 3 packs before I realised what it was causing the rash. Also smaller and drier than other wipes I have used. Not to mention they come out of the packaging in a big string instead of one at a time.

Don't buy these wipes – I brought these wipes as the packet stated that they were suitable for sensitive skin. After one use my baby's bottom was inflamed, not thinking I used them again and the result was a screaming baby and a very sore bottom. I wished I read independent reviews prior to buying them.

Causes rash – Decided to try these as they were on special. So bought a bulk pack. Also liked that it mentioned natural and organic. Unfortunately within a couple of days of using it our baby started to develop a red and inflamed rash. So we switched back to our usual Baby U Goats Milk wipes and the rash soon disappeared.

Poor packaging – These wipes smell nice and do the job fine. Problem is with the packaging. There's no way to take just one wipe out at a time due to the way they've folded them together, or some other problem. This is an issue when you only need one wipe, but five come out, and being wet wipes you can't really just leave the extra ones lying around or else they will dry out. Other manufacturers seem to get this basic concept right, why can't you gaia?

Disappointed – I use all Gaia products on Bub except for the wipes they were horrible and dry ! I couldn't wipe babies bum without scrubbing it to get it clean. Currently using Kmart Baby Solutions as they were a gift and I'm loving them!!! Also tried dymples from bigw also not bad

Misleading natural marketing – We bought these due to their supposed organic, natural qualities but like other posters here were disappointed to find out that they actually contain the nastiest chemicals, cocamidopropyl betaine among others. They also caused our baby a rash as soon as they were used. Really not so natural - avoid!

Like the idea, but annoying packaging – I like the idea of these and bought them because they seemed more environmentally friendly, but the packaging is terrible. I can't seem to get just one wipe at a time, I always get about 4 or 5 come out at once, and it's very fiddly. Not ideal at 1am with a wiggling infant. Other brands seem to get this fairly basic thing right so I don't get why… Read more

it's such a challenge for Gaia. They do the job otherwise, but I'll probably be trying other brands once the packs I have bought run out.

very disapointed – i have been using these on my baby for a while and wanted something affordable and safe but i was fooled by the packaging stating they are paraben free alcohol free blah blah but they have more chemicals than most baby wipes on the market, so to say the least im really disappointed at the 'natural' marketing on this product

Disappointed – I loved the idea of these and I am willing to pay more for quality. However, within a day of using these on my baby she developed a bad rash on her bottom. After a process of elimation to figure out what might have caused it, when we switched to a cotton cloth with water, the rash finally started to ease and clear up. I was using Johnsons… Read more

Unscented wipes before trying Gaia and didn't have this problem.

I figured its ok I'll use the wipes on myself as my skin wouldnt be as sensitive. However, once I used it on a part of my body that was not my hands, it caused a burning sensation on my skin. It was still burning a few minutes later and finally got a cotton cloth with water to clean it off. My skin was a bit red for about half an hour after that.

As for the product itself, the wipes are quite soft, which I did like, but they tend to stick together and found I always pulled multiple out of the packet at a time.

Caused severe dermatitis – It wasn't until I saw a report on the news about baby wipes causing dermatitis that it finally clicked what was causing my severe dermatitis on my fingers. This is after having spent over $300 on chemist products and another $225 on a whole-house water filter, thinking it must have been Adelaide's crappy tap water causing it, while I've been… Read more

desperately trying to clear up this awful condition. My fingers have been splitting open and bleeding for months.

The news articles all point to an ingredient Gaia wipes supposedly don't contain (methylisothiazolinone), however I find it far too much of a coincidence that I have never ever had such an adverse reaction to any product containing even harsher chemicals (I've left bleach on my skin by accident before and it didn't cause the damage these wipes have) yet the symptoms and appearance of my hands are exactly the same as the reactions other mums have had from the other wipes containing the nasty ingredient.

I used them on my face to take make up off as well, thinking I was using a good quality wipe, and my whole face swelled up like a balloon, with a bumpy rash the entire way down my neck - again I put it down to external factors and cut out a ridiculous number of foods trying to work out what was causing these reactions, because the intolerance of these wipes took until my son was 5 months old for it to show up so badly.

When I stopped using them, my fingers finally started healing.

On top of that, when you go to pull out 1 wipe, 3 more follow. I emailed Gaia months ago and they insisted they had changed the way they are folded together now - nothing has changed. I reeks of an attempt to get you to go through more wipes than you need, to me.

I have absolutely no trust in Gaia anymore and will be binning all of my Gaia products.

Happy with the switch to bamboo – I'm trying to be more considerate of the environment so decided to try bamboo wipes because they have much less of an environmental impact than cotton. The wipes stick together a bit but it's not too difficult just to get out one at a time and they do the job fine. I'm happy with the packaging as well. They're quite a bit more expensive than the… Read more

generic grocery store brands and not as thick, but I've decided I'm willing to accept that for a more eco friendly product.

Fantastic packaging and well packaged wipes – The best packaging that I found in the market, easy to open and close the packet and when taking wipes out only one is pulled out at a time. They feel very soft and thin, and stay moist; however after using the whole packet my baby started developing a slight rash/reaction to the wipes. They do have a pleasant scent. Fantastic packaging Not as gentle on baby skin as some other products in the market

Gentle on skin but poor packaging – I got these wipes because they are made of bamboo and have minimal chemicals. They are gentle on baby's skin but it is often difficult to take just one wipe out at a time. The wipes tend to come out as a huge clump, and makes change time tricky when trying to hold on to a wriggly baby with one hand! Also, I find that my fingertips start cracking… Read more

and peeling after handling them several times a day. (No visible effect on baby's skin though.) I use the Curash wipes now and my fingers have stopped peeling. Made from bamboo, biodegradable and free from nasty chemicals Poor packaging, causes the skin of my fingertips to crack and peel

Ok wipes but bad packaging – I bought the Gaia bamboo wipes because I wanted to use a product with as minimal chemicals as possible. The wipes themselves are fine and do the job but the packaging lets them down. You can't get just one wipe out without a whole wad coming out at the same time. Not very handy when trying to get wipes with one hand! Because of this issue I won't be buying them again. Natural product. Poor packaging.

Not bad..not great – I picked up a pack of these on sale at the local discount pharmacy after seeing good reviews. I use the baby bath and shampoo and love them so I was keen to try these. i found them a little fiddly to get out of the pack and thought they were a bit on the thin side. Loved that they are bamboo and natural but needed alot to clean poo explosions… Read more

compared to the usual brand I buy (Coles thick fragrance free). I didn't buy a second pack but if you have a baby with skin that is extra sensitive I would give them a try. Natural, bamboo thin, need too many

Great foe childs skin and good for the environment – We like these wipes as they are gentle on the skin and made of bamboo. The packaging could be better and often clumps of wipes come out instead of one. The opening needs to be more rigid, this may solve some of these issues. Will continue to use however given they are made from bambo and contain good ingredients. Gentle on skin, made of bamboo Packaging could be better

It's ok but difficult to use – I try to buy natural for our kids. So when i found bamboo wipes with good ingrediants in them i just had to buy them. At first i was pleased with my bulk purchase, but they are so difficult to remove from the packet, They seem stuck in and then when you get one out, it comes out as a clump of wipes folded up and you have to unfold them to use… Read more

them. Plus they are a bit dry, so it made changing bubs meconium nappies super difficult. I was quite excited when they ran out because it meant i could go back to my old wipes. They do smell nice though Scent, bamboo, natural Annoying to get out, dry to use

Great wipes, biodegradeable and readily available (not all eco products are!) – Love these wipes. They have no overpowering scent, are not too expensive, are biodegradeable, and don't give my bub nappy rash. Best of all you can buy them at the supermarket, which I cannot for my other eco-friendly products. A lot of people have mentioned you can't bulk buy but I have found a website where you can buy 8x80 for $45 -… Read more

gotoddler.com.au. Because I have to buy my eco-nappies (Bambo Nature) I just combine the two, and top up at Coles if I run low.

Highly recommend. Not too expensive, biodegradeable Hard to get just one out, but I have found that with all wipes.

Fantastic product, shame about the packet – These wipes are fantastic for newborns as they are so gentle on their skin and they need so much wiping! I hate to think of rubbing other wipes which use alcohol and chemicals on any of my newborns constantly. No wonder kids get nappy rash! Anyway, this is a gentle product and the wipes are strong. However, we found it almost impossible to get… Read more

just one out of the packet. It drove us mad. We'd be there in the middle of the night, screaming baby, dark, trying to get a wipe out. Very frustrating. I hope they change their packaging, we changed to Huggies after a while as they are much easier to get out. Dont let this deter you, it's still an affordable and kind product. Gentle on baby, durable Packaging makes it difficult to get one out

LOVE THESE, perfect when other brands gave my baby a reaction – Really gentle, soft, have a pleasant fragrance but most importantly when bub was reacting to other brands this one solved the red bum/issues straight away. I like they can be bought in mini packs for the nappy bag - Pharmacy warehouse seems to have the best prices on these, with the 80 packs for under $5! We use Gaia bath products so it makes… Read more ·  1

sense to me that the wipes are also good for her. gentle, doesnt react to babys skin when the other brands gave her a nasty redness hard to find everywhere, im finding chemists my only bet...havent found them in the supermarkets yet

Best baby wipes!! – We have been using these wipes for our baby girl since she was about one month-old and they are brilliant!! They are soft, gentle, infused with essential oils and don't have that overpowering fake scent or "no scent" like some other brands. This is a fantastic, environmentally friendly product, which is also important to us, and they don't give our baby girl nappy rash, either. Environmentally friendly, gentle, biodegradable and good quality.

Good – I am a fan of other Gaia skin products for baby so I tried these wipes as they had similar ingredients to another brand of baby wipe that i use and found them reasonable. If the issue with them sticking together was addressed then they would be much better. However, would still recommend you try these wipes if your baby has sensitive skin… Read more

issues. -Smell nice

-Natural and gentle ingredients that do not hurt the skin, or the environment

-Australian made. Widely available from supermarkets and pharmacies

-No problems with nappy rash and eczema -Wipes tend to stick together when you pull them out of the pack, may be due to them being thin, found this very annoying.

Good – I have used a few natural wipes products, and although all are difficult to take out, these are probably the better ones in that respect. Although the main reason for buying Gaia Natural Baby wipes is because they are not full of chemicals etc that many of the other wipes on the market are. My baby's skin has never reacted to these wipes, nor… Read more

has he had nappy rash. Also they are are soft to the touch. natural product with no chemical additives difficult to pull out one by one

The best wipes on the market – I chose to use these wipes mainly for environmental purposes,but will be sticking with them because they work to great! Ive never used any other brand beside these and hugges on my son because of the animal testing from all the other common wipes. And after using them for a while, the GAIA wipes are by far the strongest from what ive seen. Which… Read more ·  1

is very helpful when it comes to dirty bums! They are mild smelling, very gentle on the skin, and can go through the wash (accidently) and come out in one piece! Plus your are being eco friendly by using them. Biodegradable, great for sensitive skin and newborns, very strong, same price and other top brands Dont come out of the packet very easy, but most wipes dont. No bulk packs.

Bottom saving product! – After trying numerous different brands, Gaia Natural Baby Bamboo wipes are the only wipes that don't result in nappy rash in our daughter. All natural products, attractive packaging, no strong scents Slightly expensive, not as readily available as other brands (e.g. not sold in as many stores and locations)
