Postpartum wipes?

I remember after my first birth I had some really soothing wipes I used for when I changed my pads to wipe down there to remove excess lochia. Of course, I can't remember what brand they were and the last thing I'll want is to irritate down there. They were quite soothing for my stitches too. Does anyone know of any wipes that will do the trick??

Waterwipes? Aldi do a cheap version. Or soft flannel?

I used 'Bottoms Up' spray (www.boots.com/natural-birthing-company-bottoms-up-soothing-bottom-spray-100ml-10248550) and would highly recommend it. I spritzed a bit on the loo roll before wiping, then a little on my stitches after I was finished.
I made sure to wipe and then shower for a 'proper clean' after opening my bowels though, as that was the best way to ensure my stitches didn't get infected (midwives advise, but also common sense)!

Washlets worked well for me or the cheaper supermarket ones. Most do a sensitive version which is non scented.
