HomeBrand Baby Wipes

Other Homebrand (Packet form) Better than Huggies *NZ review – I don't use the one Pictured but I do use The Homebrand Fragrance Free Baby Wipes *White, Red and Green 80 Pack with an Octopus and Star Fish I used Huggies for a couple years but once my 2nd was born I started using them on my face and it would dry and irritate me (guessing the alcohol?) I then decided to try all the cheaper options as I… Read more

wasn't keen to continue using them on my kids...

Homebrand is only $2p/pack at Countdown NZ!

Not as thick as Huggies but def not too thin! Yes occasionally you need a couple wipes however I have not once experienced any rashing on my kids since the change so I am more than happy to compensate knowing my kids don't need creams etc

Watch out for rashes with the Select Brand baby wipes – I can't find anything on Woolworths Select 80 Unscented Baby Wipes, so have to warn parents here to watch baby for any rashes. We are both adults who have used the Select brand for a long time now. We used them everywhere:- Toilet, bathroom, kitchen, bbqs and glovebox of 2 cars. Made in USA, and were great! Never had a problem! Now since… Read more

Woolworths has recently changed their Manufacturer to China, we have both had nothing but pain, misery and distress! I suffered worse because i also use them to remove make-up. My eyes/ face became red, swollen & itchy and my hands have been left with scars from the rash. You can just imagine the distress after using them in the toilet. Was in agony. Had to force an urgent appointment, because none were available. What really bothers me is the fact that the Chinese manufacturer has changed the ingredients, but all other wording on the pack is same as when USA was making them. The chemicals they are using burns the skin. I've told Woolworths this, but last time i looked, they were still on the shelves. If these Chinese wipes have badly affected two adults, what are they going to do to a baby? They are supposed to be safe for babies, and they also state that they are safe for face/ hands too. We have now switched to Coles 80 pack Thick Baby Wipes, Fragrance Free. Have been great! No problems, and they are made in USA, so hope Coles don't change these wipes.

Swollen, red, itchy rashes.

This product needs a design ASAP – We have always used huggies wipes. I dropped her off a 7am, and My daughter ran out of branded wipes at school and these home brand were utilized. In 9 hours her bum was red with blisters poor effect and product. Now I have a screaming baby and a broken hart my baby is in pain Liked nothing about it Product as a whole.

Good wipes – I tried the homebrand wipes as I wanted to try a cheaper product (used to use the Aldi wipes, which are pretty good, but don't bother going to Aldi anymore as don't use the nappies since they were changed.) The Homebrand wipes are pretty good, not as wet as some wipes, which initially I worried about but I have found it is still gentle on my girls… Read more

bottom. They are a good size and inexpensive, too. The packet I use isn't the same one as the one in the picture. The one I use contains 80 wipes, so may be a slightly different product... not sure. Inexpensive

Good – I always keep one of these in the car to clean hands before and after eating while out and about. They are affordable and work well. These are a great, cheap wipe to quickly to freshen your face or clean hands while out and about. The container is handy and dispenses the wipes one at a time. They are great to clean hands before eating when your… Read more

hands are not really dirty. They are also great to take on a picnic I usually prefer unsented wipes, so the smell is not great. The wipes are quite thin and really not great for nappy changing as you are led to believe from the baby picture on the front. I would not use these on a babies sensitive skin. Sometimes you need to use more than one to make your hands feel clean because they are so thin.

Excellent – Pour a little dissinfectant into the container and use them to wipe down the toilet seat and anything else your children touch while toilet training. It's a quick and cheap solution to kill germs around the bathroom. These are great to use with disinfectant as a cheap toilet wipe when your kids are toilet training. They are to nasty to use on a childs skin

Average quality – These will do in a pinch but I wouldn't buy them again. The size and thickness is good, however they're a bit too dry - sometimes several are needed to wipe off all the mess on baby's bottom. The wipes don't pull each other out of the packet, so you need to spend extra time fiddling around to pull out a new one each time. When the packet… Read more

is getting low, this becomes a real annoyance.

The fragrance is nice and not too overpowering. Thick and strong Too dry, hard to get out of pack

Cheap and Nasty – I would never recommend these to anyone. They are cheap and nasty wipes which are better used wiping up puppy poofrom the floor than on a child. They are very cheap and in this instance you get for you pay for. Everything!

Terrible – My mum bought these wipes to use at her house. I hated them. They are too flimsy and too wet. Would not recommend them at all. Cheap. Over wet and basically feel like they would be harsh on baby.

Terrible – These are ineffective as wipes for babies. If you just want some wipes to keep in the car for greasy hands or faces, then these are ok. But I would not recommed these wipes to clean up during a nappy change. As a general wipe, they will clean a face or hands. Advertising these a 'baby' wipes implies that they will clean up a pooey bottom, but you would have to use about a million of them to do the job.

Bad – They are good for wiping dirty hands without actual lumps of dirt. They are not suitable for cleaning a dirty baby bottom as they are too thin. I bought these once, and it was years ago. I never bought them again after that. Larger thicker wipes, such as huggies are much better for changing number 2's They are very cheap and readily available at… Read more

the supermarket They are not very thick at all, so they are not suitable for changing a dirty nappy. A lot come out of the dispenser at once, which means a few can be wasted

Terrible – I generally like home brand products, so I decided to try these. They're way too thin to clean up any mess, and even for wet nappies the wipes sort of fold and scrunch up on themselves so they're difficult to use. I also really dislike the strong smell that they leave on your hands. Even after washing my hands thoroughly, they still smelled like wipes. cheap too thin, smell too strong

Terrible – I only bought it once and never liked it. It's too thin to use on anything. I have to use a few to do a job which I can use only one Huggies wipe to do. So it could turn out more expensive to buy this brand. I'll never buy it again. Looks cheap and portable. Too thin and small. So probably more expensive due to having to use more each time!

Bad – My baby has very sensitive skin so I am not too comfortable using cheaper brands on her skin. However I have found these wipes handy to keep in the car to use for any mess's or to clean dirty hands. They have been really handy when we go on camping trips or to clean tables in picnic areas. Very cheap, handy container. Good to keep handy in the car… Read more

or for camping. I don't recommend these as baby wipes as they are way too thin, you need to use alot of wipes to clean babies bottom. I don't like how they are so thin that I feel like my fingers are touching my babies poo. YUCK.

Terrible – I would not recomend these wipes for use on babies, too thin and arn't very effective as they seem to bunch. They are handy to take on a picnic. Cheap price. Too thin, container is not a good design, they seen to bunch when you use them on baby's bottom.

Terrible – These wipes may be cheap but they are a waste of money. I was given a pack and tossed it out after trying them because they were just so awful. The wipes come in one long strip that is perforated between each wipe and they don't separate properly meaning you need two hands and they also tear half way through the wipe. Don't bother with these. They… Read more

are possibly one of the cheapest packs of baby wipes. These are these nastiest wipes I have ever used. They are very rough and thin and are terrible for cleaning up after a dirty nappy. They are very soggy and don't tear off properly from the next wipe.

Bad – You won't pay much for these but you will use more than twice as many as they are very thin. Not great for sensitive skin and can be quite soggy and rip easily. If you just want them to keep in your draw at work or in the car to wipe sticky fingers they might be okay but not great for nappy changes. very cheap very cheap & nasty! They may not… Read more

cost much but as they are so thin you will need to use a lot more so it will probably cost just as much in the long run as buying a better brand! They rip easily and very wet & soggy as all the moisture goes to the bottom of the bottle.

Bad – Cheaper product than many of the other wipes on the market and you get a lot more wipes to use. Alternatively, for them to be effective when nappy changing you would need to go through around 4 or 5 each time which is a bad factor. I found it more useful as hand wipes rather than baby wipes in the end, as they are just too thin to be effective. Im… Read more

not a big fan of the packaging either, as it is bulky and the dispenser does not allow the wipes to come out efficiently. Cheap, includes a lot of wipes Too thin, cheap quality

Terrible – I only bought them as a back up if I was out of wipes so they mainly live in the cupboard. Used them for the first time today, wouldn't use them regularily nor recommend them. They are the texture of netting and are very dry. Pretty useless as their lack of wetness does not clean up bottoms, and it feels quite harsh to use against their skin,… Read more

especially if the skin is a little red. They are the cheapest on the market (at Woolworths) so they serve an economical puspose for those on a very tight budget, but a more expensive brand would probably be more economical as you wouldn't have to use as many wipes per nappy change. Very cheap Very thin and not very moist

Terrible – Stay away from this, I bought two of this on special and believe me, I regret it. I now use them to wipe kitchen bench or to clean up the baby's chair after eating. I use it to clean up spills on the floor of which amazingly is very effective. Never use it for your baby. This one is cheap and ineffective, don't let your baby suffer just to save a… Read more

few dollars. very cheap, always on special buy one take one, always on the grocery so its easy to find. Generic brand the worst product ever, very rough and useless.Wipes are like the cleaning clothes for the kitchen

Terrible – this product is really crap, i would not buy it ever again and would not recommend it to anyone at all. the wipes are so thin and dry but then towards the end of the pack it is like a pool down the bottom of the packaging. out of all the wipes that i have tried and used this is by far the worst. another annoying thing about this product if the… Read more

fact that the wipes keeps on breaking apart before it is pulled out of the packaging and therefore to get the wipes out i had to keep on opening the lid, so you will need to have both hands free to use this product. cheap is about all that i can think of very thin wipes

wipes are too dry

Terrible – I can't stand this product, and despite it being the cheapest (or at least one of ) wipes on the market I would never purchase again. I used perhaps a 1/4 of the packet before I moved it to the cleaning cupboard, they didn't last there long either and were promptly binned. In my opinion I would never recommend this product. These wipes are cheap… Read more

and easy to use in that they have a flip top so are easy to access when keeping a wriggling toddler under control! When you pull the wipes out its like your hand rings out the liquid and I find the liquid runs down my hands. When pulling one wipe out before it rips along the perforated line I tend to get 3 or 4!

Terrible – i only bought these once thinking i would give them a go, but they are to thin and feel rough and i wouldn't like them used on me so i stopped using them on my baby. I now buy the thicker woolworths brand wipes and find these to be much much better. cheap and easy to pull them out they are very very thin and dry

Terrible – not impressed at all compared to other cheap brands like Wipeeze Little Angel from Big W(which doesnt seem to be on this website, now those i highly recommend better than huggies and curash and cheap), these "no frills" really are just that they just dont clean up what you would expect. The fabric is terrible they maybe dirt cheap but that thats… Read more

it. easy dispensary, extremely cheap to be honest these are rubbish and i would never use them for my baby, the material they are made out of are rubbish you cant get a good grip to wipe with them and are far to thin and slippery.

Terrible – my overall opinion of the home brand wipes is that i will never buy them ever again they are very cheap and u get what you pay for in this case, they wont clean my childs bottom let alone wipe down her high chair, i would never recommend this product this product comes in a easy dispenceable container, they are very cheap to be honest i hate them… Read more

i have bought them once and will never buy them again they are way to thin and clean absolutly nothing, everything goes straight through the cloth, they are very sinilar to the red rooster napkins which are hopeless

Terrible – Overall i hated these nappy wipes. They were terrible for nappy changes and quite unsafe if your child sticks their hand into the hole where the wipes come out. These wipes are good for cleaning hands and face from feeding times and gets paint off their hands. These are very cheap to buy. These wipes are way to thin to clean babies bottoms and… Read more

create more mess than what was originally there. The container has sharp edges so if you loose the edge of a wipe and put your hand down to try and get another one it hurts. The containers are not very safe for children.

Terrible – I tried these wipes when they were on special but I have to say I will never purchase them again and ended up just chucking them out. The wipes are not soft and have a very cheap feel about them. I used them once on my baby and I felt terribly bad for even doing so. I would only recommend using them for general cleaning of hands and maybe they… Read more

would be useful taken on camping trips, but not on a baby. Good for general cleaning around the house. Not very soft at all. Do not feel good to use on a baby.

Terrible – These I purchased when they were on sale but I would not likely buy them again unless I wanted to use them for a cheap way to clean around the house. They really feel quite harsh and I would not want to be using them on the delicate skin of a young baby. Very very cheap but that is about the only benefit of them. Very cheap but I would not want to… Read more

use them on a young baby as they feel quite harsh and not very soft. Too harsh for using on babies. Only real use is as a cleaner around the house in my opinion.

Terrible – Very nasty product not sure they should be allowed to have baby in the title. I do like the idea that others have suggested like using them to clean the toilet but I do not believe they should be used directly on anyones skin. I wouldn't even use them to clean hands, will probably just toss them out. Not much, have bought a pack and can't really… Read more

find a use for them. They have a very over-powering smell which suggests they are full of chemicals and nasty products. I wouldn't put them anywhere near my son. Very cheap and nasty, not worth even trying - stay away.

Terrible – We had a desperate week and decided to buy these wipes.. All I can say is never again! The wipes are like looking through lace very thin, very small. You put your finger through them when you pull them out of the container. I have been told that the wipes that come in the packet are better but am not game to try them! I now use these wipes for… Read more

dusting my car or putting in the boot for extreme emergencies (even though I have wipes in the stroller, nappy bag, handbag, house, glove box and grandparents house of another brand!) Using these wipes is like using a piece of plastic to wipe baby's bum, It has the same absorbency! Price, Easy to use container Everything Else!

Terrible – I wouldn't recommend these for anything. They're cheap, but they're a complete waste of money. No point buying something that doesn't work! Buy the coles no-name brand instead. I also agree with what everyone's said about the container. I got my finger caught in the lid trying to get a wipe out and it is so sharp and badly designed that it cut… Read more

me! I wouldn't have these near kids Cheap, container doesn't leak. Very thin, poor quality, small, dry out quickly, too harsh and scratchy for using on bubs and too thin to clean anything up anyway. They're not even useful for wiping hands or anything when camping. Useless!

Excellent – Considering the price it is a great product. Cheapest I have used and I thought it did the job just fine. I have now converted over. Would be great if it had a resealable lid to keep the freshness and wetness in. great product considering its price. Frangrance is ok. Holds together

Good – I bought these three or four times, but after that stuck to the more expensive brands. Although they're well lubricated they don't feel that soft, and sometimes they're a little too wet, thus I prefer something a bit more pricy now days for my youngest. You can't beat the price, they're incredibly cheap, the flip top of the conatiner makes it easy… Read more

to drag the wipes out and break them off at the join, easy to access, the container ensures that the wipes keep their moisture Thin, a bit too soppy and wet sometimes, container is big so not that easy to store unless you want to drag a huge baby bag around constantlly.

Good – I believe that the HomeBrand baby wipes are just fine, as I use them for my grandkids and I first bought them when I had my first grandchild and she is going on six. These wipes haven't dried out at all and I am still to this day. Also, the container of the Homebrand I believe helps make them stay wet and you can store them away in your cupboard… Read more

for the next child coming along. I have now four grandchildren and number five on the way and I will soon need to buy another container of baby wipes and I will be buying the Homebrand. That they do not dry out. Nothing too major, only a bit thin.

Excellent – well overall i dont like them they are cheap and they dont do what they are meant to do i would not waste any money on this product anymore there cheap they are thin and dont really do much
