Lauren: The only negative thing I would change would be the green lid, I've found that sometimes they can easily pull off when trying to open, which can sometimes lead to ripping the packaging and the wipes can dry out. It’s important to heed this warning - the biggest ever in-depth investigation of sewer blockages in the UK, carried out by Water UK in 2017, found that non-flushable wet wipes made up around 90% of the material causing sewer blockages. Alison: The only thing I would change would be to make the Mamia Sensitive Baby Wipes bio-degradable. The baby wipe market has traditionally been seen as a big polluter as the plastic used in some products does not break down easily.
Cost – This is another key consideration, especially as you could be getting through a lot of wipes. With no chlorine and a make up of 99% water, these biodegradable bamboo wipes are vegan certified and cruelty-free so come with great eco credentials. I think the pack we used yesterday was a turquoise colour rather than the white pack we usually use.The lift-up flap makes them easy to open and extract and while expensive, the natural moisturising properties of the coconut oil mean you’re unlikely to need to use anything else on your baby’s skin.
Vic Brown, also on our Facebook group, added: “Cheap and cheerful – always on a three for two offer. That’s why ALDI’s Mamia range is such a favourite for new parents, with both fragrance-free and scented options available. With all of the concerns about waste these days, knowing that the wipes were not contributing to this problem would make you feel much more comfortable in using them. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . The wipes easily come out one by one too, rather than clumping together, meaning very few are wasted.
These wipes are sensitive enough to use on very small babies too so great for out and about with a newborn. Baby wipes are an essential part of nappy changes in the early days, with their uses stretching far beyond dirty bottoms and sticky fingers. Adelle: Aldi wipes are fantastic - they are such good value for money and the seals seem to be better than a lot of other supermarket wipes that are available. Hannah: I would choose these as they are so soft, easy to use, great for the environment and they are more colourful than other products in market. Elizabeth: Mamia baby wipes are brilliant for baby's face, hands, nappy changing and any other time when wipes are useful.
Due to the fragrance and lotion content, these are better suited to slightly older babies rather than newborns who you may prefer using water-based wipes on. They're also compostable and you can expect them to break down in as little as 3 weeks according to the brand.Always ask the questions – there are no silly questions when it comes to the health of you and your baby!
