Welcome to Buywaterwipes.com

WaterWipes were created by our founder Edward McCloskey after his newborn daughter suffered with a bad nappy rash. After an extensive search, he couldn’t find a baby wipe that didn’t contain chemicals or other ingredients that would’ve been too harsh for her sensitive skin, so he decided to make his own. Many years later, and after a lot of hard work, testing, and scientific research, WaterWipes were born (the “Product”).
