Terrible wipes that cause severe irritation – Worst wipes ever! Not worth the money at all, my partner brought them as a cheap back-up and we finally had to use them, as we had run out of Tooshies wipes. All of a sudden my son started breaking out in severe nappy rashes; he’s never had nappy rashes and he’s 11mths old. Finally, I realised it was these horrid wipes causing his irritation, as soon as we stopped using them, the rashes completely disappeared. Would never use this brand again!
Horrible – Worst wipes ever! my son never has issues with nappy rash but tried these once and they were super dry, next time i went to use them he was crying in pain, the dryness made him irritated from just one change. never again. Show details
Non scented CUB wipes gave my baby horrible rash – We thought it was food allergies for ages until.tonight we wiped her face and as we touched each area it inflamed red. These are non scented too. Horrid product. To the bin. Show details

great stuff – I think their great, better then woollies cheap brand wipes. And the scented ones are lovely they actually smell like an essential oil. Great product for a cheap price, very nice. Show details
Coles 80 Pack Thick Fragrance Free Baby Wipes – Coles please do not change the quality/ country of manufacture with the abovementioned thick baby wipes! I have just posted a review on Woolworths Select Brand on their Homebrand Wipes review page, because.of bad rashes since they changed manufacturers We have since changed to the Coles 80 Pack thick Fragrance Free Baby Wipes. All wipes are… Read more · 1
specifically made for babies, so they must be safe! We are happy with the Coles Thick wipes. No problems, so hope it stays that way. Coles, please don't make the same mistake as Woolworths by cost-cutting. Keep the wipes safe! We, and especially me, have been badly affected by the Woolworths Select 80 Pack Unscented Baby Wipes. Parents, please be careful what you use on your baby! I wouldn't like to think any baby was going through what we went through. Sheer agony! Thick, safe, inexpensive Nothing, so don't change them Coles
Keep stocking up – Our newborn's skin did not react well with other brands (e.g. Huggies). We tried a few but these were the ones we were happiest with. Cheap, convenient packaging, nice subtle scent, durable yet not too thick
Negative reviews
Cheap but for a reason – I buy these in a box of 6 as they're cheap but it is impossible to just pull 1 wipe out at a time like every other brand is capable of doing, they're folded in such a way that 4-5 come out at a time no matter which way you try to do it. Then because so many come out, it's next to impossible to stuff back in. I've destroyed a good 7 packets trying… Read more
to stuff wipes back in, ripping the entire bag open because the packaging is cheap and causing them to dry out. So it's a bit of a gamble on whether or not you're even saving money. If I were in a better financial position, I would 100% use another brand because I don't recommend them unless necessary.
CUB Baby Wipes – I have bought this product for a couple of years no and have not had a complaint, but of late removing wipes from container is a nightmare, no longer accessible without ripping open the package they come in, sadly once finished I will no longer be purchasing CUB Biodegradable Lightly Scented Baby Wipes.
Into the bin! – There's a few things wrong with these Chinese wipes. Unlike others I found them to be way too wet; so much so, that the sealing tag couldn't stick down. Also, when you try to pull one out, the next one comes more than halfway out. If you try to hold down the one you don't want, the one you're pulling tears in half. I bought two x 80 packs and, now… Read more
that I know about the carcinogens in them I'll be throwing them out and going back to Huggies. I wish I'd kept the receipt.

Terrible quality - bring back little explorer wipes – Ive used the thick ones and normal unfragranced and am very disappointed with the quality. They are not moist enough and they do not separate well or easily when pulling out of packet. Show details
Dissatisfied Dad – So hard to mop up a messy bumb! I pretty much just move poo from point A to point B on baby's bumb with these wipes. Bring back the old coles wipes! Show details
Disappointing – I find the wipes extremely dry and hard to use. There is no wetness to clean the skin properly nor to wipe hands and face etc. Since they changed from Comfy Bots, the standard has really dropped. I probably wont be buying these anymore and going with a different product.

Omg..might aswell use tissues – It's a shame but I found them really dry & I really had to drag them over the ahhhh 'stuff' to get the 'stuff' off the babies butt. My husband used them as tissues. I don't know what's wrong with them but they just don't wipe stuff off as well as home brand woolies wipes or Huggies. They're dry or something. No good. Go woolies wipes $2
Never buy without reading ingredients list – when i buy something labelled "natural" i do not expect to see a plethora of carcinogenic substances soaked into the wipes ..i will never buy again Gaia brand...phenoxyethanol is either skin irritant or carcinogenic or both...so are the following : alkyl dimethy lbenzylammonium chloride didecyl dimonium chloride...and the list goes on...very disappointing seeing how we are poisoned on all fronts!!!
No Good! – I use them as make up wipes and used this brand for the first time, unscented Coles wipes, broke out in a horrible rash (red, bumpy & itchy) was horrible. If it's not safe on my face, doubt it would be on a baby's bum! I have written in to Coles to let them know but they don't seem to care and think I am lying! Sent in photos and everything..
No longer having plastic top lid!!! – Bought a box today, just to find out that no more top lid and so much more difficult to use. So disappointed by this unannounced change. After many years of using Coles baby wipe with my 2 babies, this is going to be my last box I buy until they bring back the top lids.
No good without the lid! – I buy these by the box full - no more. Why have we gone back years with the sticky peel tab?? Useless! There are other brands I'll buy instead - and I'll return the 2 boxes I just bought. By the way - how about telling us about the change before we lug them all the way home!
Absolutely crap – I used to buy these, bit i am thinking about changing, because you won't learn to stop changing it, the fragrance free wipes now have a sent and gives my child rashes because sent is a sting. The packet its now crap, with out the lid bit, now it is just a sticky peel dirt and fluff and dust gets on the sticky bit and it doesnt stick for long, also… Read more
having the sticky bit riped the whole packet of wipes for just trying to get out 1 wipe i feel you are downgrading your product. If you want buyers, stop downgrading your stuff and expecting people to pay the same price.
These are terrible – We tried these after being avid Huggies users - they are just so much cheaper than Huggies - but there's a reason! They dry out quickly and are really flimsy, I've put a finger through them a few times (not good!) and it takes so many more wipes to get the job done- meaning there's no point in them being cheaper!! Cheap Everything else - poor quality - you get what you pay for
Not my favourite, but they do the job – I have used these several times while running low on wipes & needed something ASAP until i restocked with my usual 'bulk pack' from Big W I find the scent to be quite strong, if it was a little bit more subtle i'd like it more. The wipes are a decent thickness & quite tough/durable while being of average softness. I didn't like that almost… Read more
the whole pack was stuck together, each time i pulled one wipe out 3-4 more would follow.
No plastic clip top lid, so not really 'handy' for the nappy bag.
Ok for general use - keeping in the glove box for sticky fingers etc?
Quite expensive! Readily available & in stock Scent, no plastic clip top lid, wipes were always stuck together, expensive - usually $4-$5 per pack
Terrible – The first time I bought these wipes they were good and didnt give my bub a rash which was fantastic because they all gave her a rash, I though wow I finally found something. But the next time i bought these they were different, they were even wetter at the bottom of the pack, they gave my daughter a rash almost straight away! They smelt stronger.… Read more
A quality Product should be the exact quality every time!!! These are poorly made and in need of better q.a. checks!!!
Don't waste your money eays to find, cheap inconsistant quality, too wet at the bottom as well, gave my bub a rash

OK – I'm not so sure they are great for sensitive skin. They are ok. I find them great value. With two in nappies this is important. We also use them as family wipes. They don't have a baby smell to them so the 10 and 14 year olds we also have don't mind wiping footy mud, sticky food fingers etc with them. inexpensive, thick, strong and available in… Read more
bulk (Cheaper still.) Our Son has sensitive skin and we are find these wipes not as good as the sensitive as they claim, our Daughter is also developing some redness at times.
Not very enviromentally friendly.
Good – I really like these wipes and most often they are the a very competitive price. I usually just cut the pack open and fill up my huggies wipe dispenser for easy use. You should bey the multi pack to get good value a good smelling wipe that does a good job for a good price. They are much thicker than some of the other cheap wipes. at times if the 'better' brands are on special they are cheaper than the
Bad – We origianlly started to use Huggies and then tried the Coles ones based on a recommendation from a friend, we have since gone back to Huggies. I feel you get what you pay for and Huggies are the slightly better product and a slightly higher price. Good cheap product that you can buy in bulk to help keep the costs down. I have only tried the… Read more
senstive skin ones and they are pleasant smelling. Quite a moist and thick wipe but not as thick as the huggies. My son developed a bit of a redness once we started using these wipes, not sure if it was a coincidence or a reaction from the wipes, but we have stopped using them.
Bad – These are a relatively cheap baby wipe to use and you can buy them in bulk packs of about three, making them more affordable. My only gripe with these baby wipes is that they can have a strong smell about them and that can be a bit off putting as I much prefer to use wipes with no scent as it is less chemicals going on delicate skin. These are… Read more
good to use for general wiping, but they are not my favourite baby wipe to use. Do the job well enough, nice and moist. I do not like the smell of these wipes. No other cons.
Terrible – These are good for pee, and cleaning up baby, but I wouldn't bother using them for number two's. They don't grip or wipe well enough, you have to use a heap of them to get baby's bum clean! The pack they come in is good, and very handy. They have a nice scent. I personally wouldn't buy these again, unless I was in desperate need. Cheap, good packaging Don't work well for number two's
Good – These wipes are an affordable option and can be bought in packs of three which is cheaper. For a homebrand alternative they are worth the money but my only complaint is that they are certainly not as moist as other wipes sold at cheaper prices. These are not too badly priced and come in attractive packaging. They are good for bubs with more… Read more
sensitive skin and do the job adequately. I did not find these wipes to be as moist as other baby wipe products that I have used. While they feel OK, the actually wipes do tend to be a bit dry.
Good – these wipes provide an affordable alternative to other brands on the market. they smell nice and clean well. biggest issue l have had is carrying them in my nappy bag as once you have opened the seal, it doesnt restick well. we use a plastic box to store them at home which fixes this issue at home. affordable, dont cause rashes, available for sensitive skin packaging breaks easily, seal on package doesnt restick easily
Good – Overall, these wipes are right up there in my opinion with the big brand named wipes as they are thick enough to clean babies bottoms without causing any rahes or irritations and without a hefty price tag like the big brand names. These wipes are also great for cleaning faces and little hands but do tend to dry out. I found that these baby wipes… Read more
were nearly as good as Johnson's wipes except they are nearly 3/4 of the price. Great for cleaning sensitive bottoms and they never caused any rashes or irritations. I found that these wipes dry out quite quickly.
Good – I think this product is value for money. However, having a container that can be refilled is much better for the environment, and therefore I tend to go for wipes that have this option. The price is very reasonable compared to some other brands. Easily wipes up mess, despite being a cheaper brand. The wipes solution has never irritated my babys… Read more
skin. The wipes are quite thin and feel a bit cheap and nasty. The packet that it comes in is a little annoying, especially the lid. Wipes can easily dry out. Also, wipes seem a little smaller than other brands.
Excellent – I quite like this product. Considering the cheaper price it is something to defenitely try. It keeps together well and is quite moist so is easy to use to clean up. pretty good product. nice fragrance and does the job fine. be good if it had a lid to keep from drying out.
Good – You can't beat the price on these wipes and shouldn't be fooled by the generic brand. They're a decent alternative to the more expensive brands and my baby didn't seem bothered by the change when they were all that was in stock one week at the supermarket! Make sure to seal the packet well, as they do dry out easily! Don't irritate the skin, a… Read more
decent price as they're the generic coles brand, easy to locate and always in stock, packaging is good. My one complaint is that these have a tendancy to dry out, and are a little thick for my liking.
