What it is, and who it helps
Gentle, fragrance-free wipes make cleaning after incontinence quicker and kinder to the skin than harsh soaps and rough cloths. They help carers keep the person clean and comfortable, and reduce the risk of irritation and sores.
Look for wipes made for sensitive, ageing skin, without alcohol and strong scents.
How to choose
- Choose fragrance-free, alcohol-free wipes, ideally with a mild cleanser and moisturiser.
- Pick a size that is soft and thick enough to clean in one wipe.
- Check the pack resealable lid keeps them moist.
- Look for biodegradable options if you prefer.
Using it safely
- Wipe gently from front to back, and pat dry rather than rub.
- Do not flush wipes down the toilet.
- Stop using any product that causes redness or itching.
Before you buy
Can wipes replace washing?
For quick cleaning, yes. Wash with water regularly as well.
Are baby wipes suitable for older skin?
Many contain scents and alcohol that can irritate thin, dry skin. Choose fragrance-free wipes made for sensitive or adult use.
How should wipes be stored?
Keep the pack sealed and away from heat so that they stay moist. Discard wipes that dry out or smell.
