1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

The wipes were great quality, big, wet and good at cleaning. The lack of plastic is also fantastic.

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

They are a little expensive for me but the option to get a big box online is tempting, if they were on offer I would consider.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

Great quality wipes but the pack was annoying, it was hard to get one wipe out at a time and the resealing tab didnt last as long as the wipes. I didn’t have any problem with the smell and thought they cleaned well.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Lovely quick delivery but the delivery man did nearly knock the door down he knocked so hard! Great communication on delivery and no problems with the website.

I’d recommend to anyone looking for an eco friendly wipe. They’re a good wipe overall 😊

The ethics behind the product- didn't feel guilty for using them for a multitude of things

As others have said they clump as you try to get them out and the seal isn't great

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Fantastic customer service, quick delivery and ok price point

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

Very

1 - They are excellent for eco friendliness. They are also much dryer than others such as water wipes which I find far too soggy.

2 - I don't think I'd swap to these exclusively but would use them alongside the wipes I buy already

3 - I thought the quality was quite good but they did tear very easily when trying to get them out of the packet

4 - the company sent them out ridiculously fast. They came during the Xmas rush where parcels were taking forever yet they were ordered and arrived within 24hrs which I found amazing. Really excellent service.

5 - I would recommend using them

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

I liked that they were flushable so can be used for potty training too.

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

Yes possibly.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

I thought they were good and cleaned well. I disliked how it was a little difficult to get the wipes out of the packaging one by one.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Very fast delivery.

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

likely.

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

They’re a nice thickness and not too wet. Also the packet opening seems like it will last longer than the normal sticky patch.

Depends on the price but yes probably.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

Very good.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Excellent - delivery was very fast and checkout was easy.

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

Definitely. I like them so far and as we generally use reusables I would add these in as an on the go option.

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

That they are biodegradable so better for environment than other disposable wipes.

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

I'd purchase instead of other disposable wipes but prefer reusable cloth wipes.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

Hmm not brilliant at times. They tore easily so had to be really careful pulling them out. Klnot ideal when mid nappy change.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Ok, I think I'd put up with the gearing for the environment benefit but the reusable cloth wipes are also eco friendly and much harder wearing.

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

Yes if they weren't willing to try cloth wipes!

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes? - I love that they are flushable an you can see that they are going to take less time to break down if not flushing them.
2. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product? - I would likely get them to use in conjunction with other products.
3. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes? - Very good; very wet so made cleaning easy.

5. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else? - I would recommend but make sure people know they can be difficult to get out of the packets.

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes? That they were environmentally friendly.

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product? Sadly, no. I didn't rate the wipes at all.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes? Awful smell, the wipes all stuck together in the packet and ripped easily when trying to take them out which is less than ideal when trying to change a dirty bum. I found they didn't seem to clean my children as much as other wipes. I did find them OK for hands and face though.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura? The website was simple to use, my nappies never arrived though. They keep sending me emails which is annoying.

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else? I wouldn't.

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

I liked that there are no nasties, the seem thick and nice and damp

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

I did look into it but sadly I feel that I get a similar quality (although without the environmental benefits) from the wipes I currently use for a fraction of the price

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

They were great - I had the non-flushable ones and didn't experience any issues with the smell as others have. They are nice and thick, nice and damp, and held together well under the circumstances!

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Great - easy to order, fast delivery, good packaging and nice products.

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

I definitely would recommend if someone had the funds and/or wanted to be more environmentally conscious

Oh - the only other thing is that the wipes did tend to come out in multiples but that is common across all brands - the trick is the tear a little slit to the left and right of the opening and then they come out one by one! Maybe that could be a good feature.....!!

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

They are environmentally friendly and have natural ingrediants.

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

I would potentially use alongside the reusable wipes. They would be good for use when out and about.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

I felt they were just as good as other wipes on the market - good moisture, worked well at cleaning DS, no skin reactions. The downside is that they did tear, but I find that with all other wipes on the market anyway.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Their customer service is fantastic - I can't fault that. 5/5

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

If someone was looking for eco options but didn't want reusable wipes, then I'd definitely recommend.

1.What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?
How well they cleaned the skin and they were moist enough to give a good clean and use less plastic which is great the environment.

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

I would because I can buy in bulk and they are just as good as other wipes if not better they are gentle on the skin clean well and I can flush them too if needed

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

very big wipes and very moist easy to use but I would prefer them to have a bigger opening it was hard to get the desired amount out i added up getting far too many out in one go

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

very good the deliver was so quick and they were well packaged too I would definitely look into buying again when needed

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else? I definitely recommend them they are a fast and efficient company and the wipes are great

I ordered and received very quickly the flushable wipes.

I like that they are non sentient, love the eco friendly aspect

Only disappointment was when you trying to take one out of the pack, they all kind of mushed together, leaving me with a handful which is wasteful.. I don't if it's because they are too wet perhaps?

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

I like the texture of it - it grips properly and easy to wipe poo. Compared to water wipes which just smears poo around

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

Probably not as they are about x3 price of my normal wipes

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

It's good but I would say Aldi ones are equally as good

Delivered very quickly

Not very likely

Good considering they're flushable.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Good

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

I like they are compostable and environment friendly

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

The appealed but sadly too expensive and fussy to use (wipes clump together so can’t just pull them out to use and they dry out fast

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

They are thick and soft with good amount per pack. Shame they aren’t user friendly and the young ones can’t get wipes out themselves easily, my youngest didn’t like the smell of them and within a few days only I was using them as everyone else found them to much of a pain.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

The wipes arrived quickly and it was great getting a box to test, however we never received the nappies just a trail size pack of wipes instead.

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

Sadly not, too expensive and fussy to use.

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

Definitely the eco credentials. If I wasn't bothered about this I would be buying cheaper wipes!

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

Yes. I only buy biodegradable wipes, and these are perhaps slightly nicer than our usual brand.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

These were as expected. Wipes were thick enough, and held quite a lot of moisture. They did the job well and didn't cause any irritation.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

Very good! I was impressed with the super speedy delivery, even during a pandemic and Christmas.

1. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

Absolutely 100%. These are a lot more expensive than wipes you can buy locally, but the environmental trade off is so worth it!

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes?

I liked the fact that they are biodegradable and compostable. I always liked that they weren’t highly perfumed

2. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product?

I would look at purchasing these if they are easily available in shops I shop with

3. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes?

I found the quality to be quite good. On some stubborn marks I had to go over but not very often and probably would be the same with most other branded baby wipes that offer the same USP

4. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura?

My experience was good and met the USP I was expecting

5. How likely would you be to recommend Pura wipes to someone else?

I have already recommended and will continue to do so. I have a friend who loves anything that is Compostable and have already advised her of this brand

1. What did you like most about Pura’s wipes? I love the ingredients and how exi friendly the are. This was the best thing about the wipes!

1. Would you look to purchase Pura wipes instead of your usual product? Possibly.

1. What did you think of the overall quality of the wipes? The wipes are thick which makes me feel happy as there is nothing worse than worrying about wipes splitting when you wipe a poo.

A lot of the time they came out as a clump though which was a bit annoying.

1. How did you rate your overall experience with Pura? Great customer service. The site was easy to navigate and the delivery was super quick. I'm also pleased that they arent sending a constant stream of advertisement now. Well done Pura!

Plastic free, a bit better for the environment & they are lovely, soft wipes overall.
