Body wipes that are effective but not irritant?

Hello!

Due to disability using body wipes can be essential when showering/bathing is not an easy option. However, most of them seem to:

  1. have harsh ingredients that are potential carcinogenics or cause skin irritation
  2. do not provide effective and lasting body cleansing

Do you recommend any particular or alternative option?
I know there are some dry shampoos/bath products if better?

Thanks!

watching this with interest. I've tried wet-ones, and coop hypoallergenic baby wipes. Allergic reaction to both of them. I was particularly annoyed to find the coop ones labelled hypoallergenic actually contain aloe vera - an allergen - so not hypoallergenic at all.

I emailed their customer services and complained, but they never responded.

Aldi do some biodegradable non scented ones which seem ok.

I've heard of waterless shower gel and shampoo before.
Maybe that might be helpful x

Use a face cloth/flannel. It does the same job, saves having to keep buying wipes and is much more friendly environmentally.
