Seventh Generation Baby Wipes, Chlorine Free and Unscented, 80-Count Packages (Pack of 12) (960 Wipes) Reviews

• Love them, but prefer the refills...

  
  By A3FAAJDHEEI6Z1 on 2006-09-24
  I am a big fan of Seventh Generation's wipes. I've been using them for some time on our newborn daughter, since I'd ordered a case of the refill packages on Amazon before she was even born. They are moist, non-irritating, and free of a lot of the scents and chemicals in so many other wipes out there. And I didn't think I needed all the plastic containers, so I was quite happy with using the refill packages...
  
  My husband and I used them at every diaper change -- which can be 8, 10, even 12 times a day for a new baby. We were going through them so fast that I went online to order another case. Unfortunately, the refills were "currently unavailable" on Amazon, so I ended up ordering the case with the regular packages, in the plastic containers.
  
  Okay, so I still love the wipes, and I still prefer them to anything else out there. But I have two gripes:
  
  First, as already mentioned by another reviewer, it seems so terribly wasteful to have a case of twelve plastic containers. The refill packages are easy to use without the plastic container, so all that plastic is completely unnecessary. Amazon, please re-stock the refills!
  
  Second, my husband and I both observed that the wipes in the plastic containers seem to be less moist than those that come in the refill packages. We were a bit disappointed by this, since the moistness of the wipes is a major appeal of this product. It makes them easy to use and very thorough in cleaning baby's bottom between baths. The wipes still work fine, and we still love them, but there is definitely a difference in their moistness as compared to the refill packages.
  
  A five-star product in three-star packaging equals four stars in my book. I hope to see the refill packs available again soon...
  
  UPDATE: As of late October, Amazon has the refills back in stock! They seem to come and go, so catch 'em while they're here!
  
  

• Much better than Tushie wipes

  
  By A1GUPPXNFZYX05 on 2006-09-04
  They are thicker, can be pulled out with one hand, and less expensive! One of the reviewers said they were dissapointed that they use Polysorbate 20. But if you do some research you'll find that it's a widely used emulsifier, a viscous oily liquid derived from lauric acid. Lauric acid is a common constituent of coconut oil and some berries. Polysorbate 20 is a nonionic surfactant, meaning it has no electrical charge (very important). A surfactant is a wetting (surface active) agent that lowers the water surface tension permitting it to penetrate more easily.
  
  Not a nasty chemical as it sounds. I wouldn't think this company would use a nasty compound anyhow. They take pride in their formulations. I strongly recommend this product and I concur with the reviewer who said that you don't need all the plastic containers, stick with ordering refills...
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  

• Love these wipes

  
  By A3HGCMM4XQD6H on 2006-08-31
  These wipes work great... they are soft and very moist. I was using the Pamper's Sensitive prior to getting these and they were always much drier. The only gripe I have is that I ordered these in bulk and received 12 containers of wipes. I wish I had just ordered the bulk of refills because it is so wasteful to have all of these plastic containers now.
  
  

• Seventh Generation Baby Wipes

  
  By A107YWNWZNZ8RA on 2006-06-29
  I used to love these wipes but the company has changed the ingredients and they now contain Polysorbate 20. I recommend Tushies unsented baby wipes.
  
  

• Easy to hurt the environment by accident.

  
  By A3SRP9PNAS490I on 2006-11-04
  It's easy to purchase this pack of 12 baby wipe packages in the plastic boxes, when you really want the pack of 12 REFILL packages. The refill packages, of course, do not come in plastic boxes and are less expensive.
  
  Having said that, the Seventh Generation Baby Wipes are a great product. Our baby is 7 months and has never had a rash of any kind. Just get the refills instead of the space-hogging-environment-harming-giant-more-expensive boxes.
  
  
• Very good product
  By A14JS60X130HW7 on 2006-03-09
  I was looking for an alternative to Pampers wipes and I found Seventh Generation. I love them. The wipes are great. Recommend them to everyone.
  
  
• work great
  By A26E4EJPHKETGT on 2007-01-03
  I love the seventh generation products for out daughter. However, I did not mean to order 12 hard plastic boxes of these. If you get the refills (which you can also get on Amazon, just make sure you pay attention), it is a lot less wasteful and takes up a lot less space. Having a baby is so destructive to the environment, I like to try to make the least amount of impact I can. I use these for the really dirty diapers and when we are out and about. At home I just use a warm washcloth. They are soft and work well.
  
  
  
  
• It's ok
  By A2UQSIUPX1C2Q1 on 2007-03-14
  We bought this cause it's cheaper than hXXXies and it comes with individually packed smaller boxes. Compared to hXXXies, it's thinner and less moist. Due to lack of moisture, it's harder to clean baby's sticky stool.
  
  
• Seventh Generation Wipes - Diaper Rash Special
  By A1WJ4CFZ6MGN8H on 2007-12-02
  I bought Seventh Generation baby wipes recently in an attempt to be more environmentally conscious and also to reduce the amount of chemicals that my daughter gets exposed to on a daily basis. I don't have a preferred brand so I thougt I'd give them a shot. My daughter is 16 months old and never had a diaper rash. As soon as I started using 7th Generation Wipes she started getting diaper rashes, one after another. May be those harsh chemicals are useful after all. I'm back to other non-organic brands and my daughter hasn't had a diaper rash since. I would not recommend this product to anybody!!!!
  
  
• Seventh Generation Baby Wipes
  By A1G3DK63ZPHA7O on 2007-09-26
  
  I bought these baby wipes because of its natural ingredients and safety for a baby. However, I was very disappointed with the wipes. The wipes are very thin and I don't think that they are worth the money.
  I gave it two stars because of natural ingredients. So far, the only wipes that I found that are thick and cloth like are Huggies brand. Too bad the Seventh Generation wipes didn't work out.
  
  
  
  
  
• Needs Improving
  By A2DRTR2ES9TKQE on 2007-10-26
  We buy everything 7th generation and love the diapers. But these wipes in the box are impossible to get out and they are dry. They are thick enough and good with poops only if I wet them first. I am very surprised to find such a fundamental design flaw with the box as all other wipes seem to have figured this out. Also, the company needs to provide a better supply of refills to Amazon. It's ridiculous that you cannot count on having them available. At this printing they were not available. We may have to switch back to Tushies. At least I can get them out of the box and find refills.
  
  
• Seventh Generation Diaper Wipes
  By A6MYYZST6A9JX on 2007-12-25
  I love these wipes they are great for the baby and soft too. I really like that there is no chemicals to cause irritation to that young skin. Certainly will buy more.
  
  
• Must for sensitive skin, but REALLY expensive
  By A3LRJX5VKKW24U on 2007-12-28
  Combined with the 7th Gen diapers, our twins' diaper rash DISAPPEARED! Big financial investment however. Wipes on their own are not worth it.
  
  
• the best wipes
  By A27EV5VOO854YI on 2008-10-20
  these are the best wipes. I have tried several types of wipes & just knowing they are chemical-free makes me like the the best. they have no scent, which is nice. the only bummer is they are totally smooth, no texture at all, which I guess is a plus of other wipes - but I am able to get even the nastiest of situations cleaned up with these wipes!
  
  p.s. it's best to buy the case that just comes with packs of the REFILLS so you don't get a billion plastic wipes containers too.
  
  
• another great buy from one of America's leading companies
  By A2JDVZNTCXKUS2 on 2008-10-23
  We have used these every since our little guy was born 2.5 years ago, and have been very happy. It's great to see a company like Seventh Generation putting out quality products, at competitive prices, that are good for the environment, to boot.
  
  I have always felt these wipes were plenty moist, and have never detected an odor. Unlike most of the mainstream brands, which are heavily perfumed, these are odorless. And our boy has never had any negative reactions to them.
  
  The plastic dispenser box has worked fine (we had one of them for about 18 months!), and the refills are good, too -- the recloseable flap works quite well.
  
  Give these a try, and I don't think you will be disappointed. You'll be using a pleasant, chemical-free product on your precious child, and supporting a progressive, socially beneficial company in the meantime!
  
  Go for it!
  
  
• These are great for sensitve skin!
  By A35SRQCYYKL2V4 on 2006-08-28
  My daughter got a terrible rash on her hands from using regular baby wipes on my grandson. Since I have been researching ingredients in other brands, I am horrified at the list of chemicals I have never heard of. I bought these last month (great price!) and her hands are quickly returning to normal. The wipes work great, too. They are a God send. Thanks 7th Gen!
  
  
• Wouldn't use any others...
  By A2K8GJ5N2PTDBW on 2007-04-03
  We are a household that tries to be kind to the environment and organic when possible, so I love 7th generation products anyhow, but not wanting to expose my daughter to chemicals unnecessarily make these the only wipes we'll use. Added bonus, they work great!
  
  
• Great product for a toxic free baby!
  By A699YNZPS40GE on 2007-06-06
  These are great wipes that don't tend to have those toxic chemicals all the main brands i.e. pampers, huggies, etc. have loaded in them. They are unscented so they leave baby clean and fresh without an overpowering smell...no rashes or irritations on baby's bottom with these!
  
  
• Seventh Generation Baby Wipes
  By A27YE66NDTR1WH on 2007-08-01
  I love this product, primarily because it is free of animal ingredients and they do not test on animals. Secondarily, it is a great product that I can use, and not worry about toxic chemicals or undesirable ingredients. I use them for everything, and we don't even have kids! We keep a box in the car, and they are great for cleaning up little accidents around the house, especially for our pets. I also get a great price from Amazon, as they can be a little pricey in the store. I truly love this product!
  
  
• Fabulous Product
  By AUA42GP6U3LUF on 2007-09-04
  We absolutely adore this product. The wipes are perfect for our little boy, and they are wonderful for our environment. What I especially like about them is that they do not leave your skin feeling damp after each wipe. I would highly recommend this product.
  
  
• Wipes are good, Box sucks
  By A3H17O9EE67KYD on 2007-09-13
  Whenever you try to get a wipe, you can't get your fingers through the dispenser. You always have to open the box.
  
  
• chlorine free wipes
  By A2K6SYGABGOCMR on 2007-10-14
  I have enjoyed using these wipes. The only thing that doesn't work well is the box dispenser mechanism. However, the fact that they are gentler to the environment and are softer than Huggies wipes makes it important enough to continue buying this product.
  
  
• Great wipes for sensitive tushies
  By A3PRCF17M6XAQT on 2007-12-07
  I've been using these baby wipes along with the Seventh Generation disposable diapers since the birth of my daughter and I've been very happy with both products. The wipes are gentle on my daughter's skin, and make cleaning messy baby parts a breeze. They do have a slight odor - they are not completely unscented as the name suggests - but the odor is nonoffensive and sure beats the alternative.
  
  
• would prefer natural scent/refiils
  By A2Y8IDC1FKGNJC on 2008-02-21
  These wipes do the job well, but I do not like the 'scent' they have. I wish they would be infused with lavender essential oil or something like that. Otherwise, these are good wipes. Also, are there refills? What on earth am I supposed to be doing with all of these empty plastic boxes besides recycling them? Wouldn't it be better to send one plastic box with wipes and the rest as refills?
  
  
• Excellent Brand Wonderful Product
  By A3IPJC2I2P4EIY on 2008-03-22
  I have been using these wipes and the 7th gen diapers since my now 18 month old daughter was born. She has not had diaper rash except for a short period when I used huggies that I got as a gift at the shower. I also use their laundry detergent and love it. Great product!
  
  
• I don't notice a difference
  By AY983LC6CV0PV on 2008-05-01
  I don't notice a difference other than there's not a strong scent that comes from them. I'll keep buying them though, knowing my baby is getting the best.
  
  
• convenient, clean well
  By A1T3CA00ZJW81L on 2008-05-29
  we order these along with flossers, diapers, deodorent, hand soap and baby clothes soap all in bulk through Amazon - it costs less than the local grocery store and it all comes with super saver shipping - we don't like perfumes on our child's hiney - he never gets rashes, and we hardly use any diaper rash preventive goop - its unnecessary!
  
  
• excellent wipes
  By A2K6GYQCOG8JNM on 2008-06-01
  Great wipes overall, decent ingredients, no scent. Only improvement would be the packaging so that it wouldn't hurt fingers to dig out another wipe when the next one doesn't come out.
  
  
• Awsome product!!!
  By A7P5Q5XD438LF on 2008-07-15
  These wipes are great. They don't contain any chemicals or unsafe ingredients like other wipes. They were recommended as the top brand by safemama.com
  
  
• Great wipes! No scent!
  By A1868SAQB3HF34 on 2008-08-13
  Baby loves these! They have no smell and it's been 5 weeks with no diaper rash. I am against chemicals and parabens and all that fun stuff so these are great to have! I got them within two days of ordering, delivered right to my door, now that's service! I'm going to order the refills next time since I already have the containers! I also have Seventh Generation toilet paper and paper towels on the subscribe and save service.
