Whoopsie Wipes: the dry cotton wipe you wet yourself

You decide what touches your baby’s skin. An eight-inch square of pure cotton comes out of the pack dry; a splash from your own tap makes it a wet wipe, and there is no preservative, fragrance or lotion in the pack because there is nothing in it that needs preserving.

Every box holds the same eight-inch square in packs of a hundred. What changes is how many packs you are buying at once, and therefore what each wipe costs you. The card prints that number so you do not have to.

02How a dry wipe works

Dry in the pack, wet in your hand, and you choose which

The pack has no liquid in it, so there is nothing to keep fresh and nothing to keep sealed. You add the water at the moment you need it, in the amount you need, at the temperature you want.

  1. 1

    Pull one, or a few

    The wipes come folded in a stack like tissues. Take one for a face, two or three for a diaper change, and leave the rest of the pack dry: a dry pack does not go off, and a pack left open in a diaper bag is still fine a month later.

  2. 2

    Wet it, or do not

    Hold the square under the tap, or keep a spray bottle of warm water by the changing table and give it two pumps. A dry square is the right tool for drool, milk and a runny nose; a wet one is the right tool for a bottom.

  3. 3

    Wipe, then bin it

    Cotton holds together when wet, so the square does not shred halfway through the job. When you are done it goes in the trash or an organic-waste bin, never down the toilet; the page on disposal says why.

03What it is made of

Cotton, cut to eight inches, and that is the whole ingredient list

A pre-moistened wipe is mostly a recipe: water, a preservative to keep that water from growing anything, a surfactant, a humectant, often a fragrance. Ours is one line long, and everything below follows from that.

The Whoopsie Wipes twelve-pack, photographed on white

One ingredient

Pure cotton, spun and bonded into a soft square. There is no water in the pack, so there is no preservative, and there is no preservative, so there is nothing to react to except cotton itself.

Eight by eight inches

Twenty by twenty centimetres. Large enough that one square does a whole diaper change on a newborn, and large enough to fold in half and get a second clean face out of the same wipe.

Thick and lint-free

The square is thicker than a tissue and stays in one piece when wet. It leaves no fibres behind on skin, which is the thing a cotton ball cannot promise.

Tested cotton

The cotton is certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, the textile label for harmful substances, in the class written for babies. The standard is public and the certificate number is on the pack, so you can check it yourself.

What it means at the changing tableWhere it matters most
Dry in the packNo liquid, so nothing to preserve and nothing to leakA diaper bag, a glovebox, a pack left open for weeks
Add water yourselfWarm from the tap, as much or as little as the job needsA newborn in winter, a sore bottom
One ingredientCotton; no fragrance, alcohol, lotion or preservativeSkin that reacts to something in every other pack
Eight-inch squareOne wipe per change on a newborn, folded twice for a faceThe 2 a.m. change done with one hand
Works with creamsCotton does not argue with zinc oxide or petrolatumBarrier cream after a wet change
Not flushableTrash or organic-waste bin, never the toiletEvery bathroom, every time

The certificate behind the tested cotton is the one printed on the pack; the Whoopsie Wipes way links to the standard rather than paraphrasing it.

05Under a minute

The Whoopsie Wipes pack, opened and used

A square pulled from the stack, wetted and used on a small person. Sound off loses you nothing.

The wipe has not changed since 2018: the same eight-inch square of cotton, the same hundred to a pack, the same three boxes. What has changed is the number of houses that keep a spray bottle beside a dry pack instead of a wet pack beside nothing.

Everyone at Whoopsie Wipes works to one rule, and it is a rule about what is not in the pack. No water means no preservative. No preservative means no reason for a fragrance to cover it. No lotion, because the square is for cleaning and a cream is for afterwards. What is left is cotton, and the tap is yours.

What the count on the box means

Every pack is a hundred squares, and the box is two, six or twelve packs. Every card on this page prints how many days its box lasts at 12 squares a day, which is six changes with a wet square and a dry one each; scale it to your own house.

06What you are choosing between

A Whoopsie Wipes square against the other four things on the shelf

Parents shop this aisle by the count on the pack and find out afterwards what is in the liquid. Two rows below go against us: a dry wipe costs you a tap, and per wipe it costs more than the big pre-moistened tubs.

The prices per wipe in the first column are ours at the last update; the other four columns describe the category rather than any one product.

07Your own number

How long each Whoopsie Wipes box lasts your house

Six changes at two squares each is the twelve a day the cards use. Put your own changes in, add the faces and the feeds, and the three boxes answer in days and in cents.

  • 600 count50 daysabout $0.74 a day
  • 1200 count100 daysabout $0.60 a day

The pack price divided by its count, times your squares a day. Prices are the ones Whoopsie Wipes standards last updated, and the till has the final word.

08The part that is not ours to certify

What the pediatricians, the dermatologists and the regulators say

Four of the claims on a wipe pack sit on top of public guidance rather than on anything we could print on a box. Those pages are linked here rather than paraphrased into a promise.

Free of alcohol and fragrance

The pediatricians’ advice for a diaper change is a wipe free of alcohol and fragrance, or water and a gentle non-soap cleanser, which may hurt less than wiping when the skin is already irritated. A dry cotton square and a tap is the second of those.

American Academy of Pediatrics, HealthyChildren.org, read September 2, 2026

Cotton wool and warm water

The public health service’s method for a newborn is cotton wool dipped in warm water, a fresh piece for each area, and the nappy area washed the same way and dried carefully between the folds. Our square is that method cut to a size that does not shed.

NHS (UK National Health Service), read September 2, 2026

Hypoallergenic means nothing in law

The FDA is plain about it: there are no federal standards or definitions behind the word, it means whatever a company wants it to mean, and nobody has to substantiate it. When we use it, it means one ingredient, and you can read the ingredient on the pack.

US Food and Drug Administration, read September 2, 2026

Biodegradable has a one-year rule

The FTC’s guides say an unqualified degradable claim means complete breakdown within a year after customary disposal, and that a landfill does not deliver that. Cotton breaks down; a sealed landfill slows everything down. Our disposal page is written under that rule.

US Federal Trade Commission, read September 2, 2026

This section is general information about cleaning a baby’s skin, not advice about a particular child or a particular rash. A wipe cleans skin and does not treat it. A rash that is not going away after two to three days, blisters, oozing, unusual pain or a fever are questions for a pediatrician, not for a pack count.

09The brand, in five hundred words

Which Whoopsie Wipes box is the one for your house

Three boxes, one decision, and it is arithmetic rather than faith.

Parents arrive at this page with a question about ingredients and leave with a question about counting, and that is the right order. The ingredient question is short. The square is cotton, the water is yours, and there is nothing else in the pack to ask about. The counting question is the one that decides which box, and it is worth ten minutes.

Start with changes. A newborn may need one every one to three hours; by the time a child is walking it is three or four a day. Give each change two squares, one wet to clean and one dry to take the water off before the cream, and a young baby’s day is about twelve. Then add the other jobs. A feed is a square. A meal, once there are meals, is two or three. A face in the morning is one. A house where the grown-ups use them for makeup and hands adds a couple more. Write that number down; it is yours, and every card on this site prints how many days its box lasts at twelve so you can scale it.

A baby in a bib after a meal, the face a wet square is for
A baby in a diaper, head down between the legs

Then look at where the box will live. The two-pack fits in a drawer. The six-pack is a small carton that sits on a shelf. The twelve-pack is a foot long and weighs over five pounds, and a box with nowhere to go ends up in a hallway, where nobody reaches for it at two in the morning. A pack you have to walk to is a pack you stop using, and the saving per square on the biggest box is worth nothing if half of it is still sealed when the child is out of diapers.

The last fork is whether you are trying the wipe or have already decided. A child who has reacted to something in a wet pack is a reason to try, and trying means the two-pack: one at the table, one in the bag, a fortnight to watch the skin. A house that has already switched, or has twins, or uses the squares from the bathroom to the kitchen, is a house for the twelve-pack, and the price per square is the reason.

The table below is the whole of it. Find the row that matches the household rather than the row that matches the budget, and the box is chosen.

The longer answer to “what is this brand” lives on Read what Whoopsie Wipes makes and who it is for.

10Straight to the job

The Whoopsie Wipes pages people search for by name

Six of the jobs get a paragraph here; the rest are one click away, and every one of those pages carries the box it usually calls for, with the price per wipe and the days it lasts.

Whoopsie Wipes for newborns

The pediatric and public-health advice for a newborn is water and something soft, free of fragrance and alcohol: cotton wool and warm water, a fresh piece for each area, dried carefully between the folds. A dry cotton square and a spray bottle is that advice with the fibres bonded so nothing is left behind. Start with the two-pack and one at the table.

Whoopsie Wipes for diaper changes

Two squares a change: one wetted from the spray bottle for the cleaning, one dry to take the water off before the cream goes on. The dermatologists ask you to change every dirty diaper, even a wet one, as soon as you can, so a day is six changes and twelve squares, and that is the rate every box on this site is measured at.

Whoopsie Wipes for sensitive skin

When a child reacts to a wet wipe, the pack is no help: a recipe of water, preservative, surfactant and fragrance has four suspects in it. A dry cotton square has one ingredient and you add the water, so there is nothing left to guess at. The word hypoallergenic has no federal definition, and the FDA says so; here it means a list one word long.

Whoopsie Wipes for mealtime

A face after dinner is the second job a box does. A dry square catches the drool and the milk; a wet one takes the yoghurt off a chin and the banana off fingers, and nothing on the square comes off on a mouth because there is nothing on the square. The same sheet wipes the tray afterwards. What it does not do is wash hands, and the CDC does not list wipes for that at all.

Whoopsie Wipes for travel

A wet pack in a diaper bag is a small wet weight that dries out from the day it is opened. A dry pack of a hundred squares weighs a few ounces, has nothing to leak and nothing to go off, and is the same pack a month later. The water comes from wherever you are: a café tap, a bottle, the sink in the plane. Two packs, one for the table and one for the bag, is the whole of the two-pack.

Whoopsie Wipes for adults

Warm water on a cotton square takes makeup off with no cleanser, dries a face at a sink with no towel, and does the personal-care job after a bidet without a chemical on it. Buyers write to us about broken wrists, hospital stays and gym bags, and the square is the same one the babies get. The twelve-pack is the box for a house where everyone uses them.

Whoopsie Wipes as dry wipes and as wet wipes

The square leaves the pack dry because dry is a tool: dry cotton lifts milk off a shoulder and clears a runny nose the way a wet wipe cannot. When you need a wet one, you make it, at the tap or from a spray bottle, at the temperature you want and with nothing in the water but water. A pack with no liquid in it cannot leak and cannot dry out.

11Before you click

Five questions that pick the box

The commonest mistake is a box of twelve hundred bought for a child who is about to be potty trained. Answer these five and the Whoopsie Wipes lineup turns into one card.

Count your changes

A newborn may need a change every one to three hours; a toddler, three or four a day. Multiply by two wipes a change and you have your day, and every card prints how many days its box lasts at twelve.

Decide where the box lives

A box of twelve packs is a foot long and weighs over five pounds. If it has nowhere to sit near the changing table, buy six and reorder, because a pack you have to walk to is a pack you stop using.

Think about the bag

A pack of a hundred dry squares weighs a few ounces and cannot leak. One pack per bag, one at the table, and the two-pack is already spoken for.

Ask who else will use them

A dry cotton square cleans a face after dinner, takes makeup off with warm water and dries hands at a sink. If the answer is everyone in the house, the price per wipe on the biggest box is the number that matters.

Check what your skin has said

If a child has reacted to something in a pre-moistened pack and nobody knows what, one ingredient is the point of this wipe. If nothing has ever reacted, the case for it is control and the diaper bag rather than skin.

12In their words

Seven people on what the Whoopsie Wipes box was like to live with

Printed as they came, with the pack each one bought linked underneath. One of them is a complaint about the price, and that is the one worth reading twice.

★★★★★

These are perfect for when you need a wipe but don’t want any additives. They are dry and you just wet them with water. Perfect for wiping faces on little ones and cleaning sensitive diaper areas. I bought these to use on my granddaughter who has eczema. I wanted a wipe that wouldn’t irritate her skin. These work great. Will definitely buy these again. Update: these are washable and reusable! Just throw them in your washer and dryer. I double rinse in my washer and don’t use any fabric softener. What a find.

★★★★☆

These 100% pure cotton dry wipes are luxuriously soft—perfect for my baby’s sensitive skin. They’re strong, absorbent, and versatile, whether for diaper changes, wiping drool, or tackling a messy meal. Honestly, I was tempted to use one as a tissue for myself! But let’s talk about the price. For something destined for the trash after one use, it feels more like I’m buying boutique linens.

These are great! I make a homemade solution and pour over the wipe and let it sit for a few hours to make sure it’s fully absorbed and then place in the wipe bin for use. The wipes are thick and strong, soft and very durable. I love that they are 100 percent cotton and not petroleum oil material like most wipes. The size is perfect for only having to use one at a time. Overall a great product that I will continue to purchase.

Best wipes!!! Highest quality and 100% cotton. These will not shred or disintegrate. My niece uses these for her babies from day 1. She uses a water spray bottle if she needs them wet so no icky toxins. I broke my wrist on my dominant hand. I ordered a bidet attachment so these are perfect to pat dry any lingering water.

14Questions people send us

What buyers ask Whoopsie Wipes before they order

Seven of them, answered here in a paragraph each. Longer answers live on the job pages and in the journal.

Where can you buy Whoopsie Wipes?

Every buying button on this site opens the box you were looking at, in stock, at our retail partner. The payment, the delivery and any return happen there, and the price you see there is the price you pay.

The button at the foot of every page opens all three boxes at once if you would rather compare them side by side before choosing.

How do you wet a Whoopsie Wipes square?

Under the tap for a second, or two pumps from a spray bottle of warm water kept beside the changing table. The cotton takes water fast and holds it, so a square wetted at the sink is still wet by the time you get back to the table. Wring it once if you want it damp rather than dripping. For drool, milk and a runny nose you skip the water altogether.

Can you flush Whoopsie Wipes?

No, and the pack says so. A cotton square does not break down the way toilet paper does, and a sewer does not care what a label says: the utilities that run them put wipes of every kind at the top of the list of things that block pipes. Trash, or an organic-waste bin where you have one. Never the toilet.

Which Whoopsie Wipes box should you start with?

The two-pack if you are trying the wipe, the six-pack once you know you like it, and the twelve-pack once you know you like it and have somewhere to put a box that weighs over five pounds. The price per wipe drops by half between the smallest box and the largest, and every card prints how many days its box lasts at twelve wipes a day, so the decision is arithmetic rather than faith.

Are Whoopsie Wipes hypoallergenic for your baby?

The word has no legal meaning, and the FDA says so plainly, so here is what it means on this site: the wipe has one ingredient, cotton, and there is no fragrance, alcohol, preservative or lotion for skin to react to. That is not a promise that no child will ever react to cotton or to water. A rash that is not getting better after a few days is a question for your pediatrician, whatever wipe you are using.

Can you use Whoopsie Wipes on a newborn?

Yes, and they were made for that. The advice for a newborn from the pediatricians and the public health services is water and something soft, free of fragrance and alcohol; a dry cotton square and warm water from your tap is exactly that. Use a fresh square for each area, dry the skin carefully between the folds, and skip soap unless something really needs it.

Can grown-ups use Whoopsie Wipes too?

Yes, and a good share of the boxes go to houses with no baby in them. Warm water and a square takes makeup off without a cleanser, a dry square dries hands and faces, and buyers write to us about bidets, travel and sickbeds. It is a square of cotton: whatever you would do with a soft flannel, you can do with it, and then throw it away.
