Helpful tips

Skin care and surface care need separate steps

A calmer care routine starts with the right wipe for the task.

Body and continence care
  1. Ask first. Protect your loved one's privacy and dignity.
  2. Check labels, allergies and the care plan before you start.
  3. Clean gently, from cleaner to soiled areas, with fresh wipes.
  4. Don't scrub fragile skin. Follow the label's drying directions.
  5. Protect. Use the agreed moisturiser or barrier product when needed.
  6. Bin, don't flush. Then clean your hands.
Surfaces
  1. Pick a wipe labelled for the surface and the cleaning task.
  2. Check the equipment maker's instructions before using disinfectant.
  3. Remove visible soil first if the label says so.
  4. Keep it wet for the labelled contact time. That's when it works.
  5. Never mix chemicals or use one wipe across several tasks.
  6. Store separately from personal-care wipes.

How many packs do I need?

4 packs (260 wipes)
Quick label check: "alcohol-free", "natural" and "hypoallergenic" don't mean a wipe can never irritate. If you notice stinging, redness or discomfort, ask a nurse or pharmacist.

Top questions

Questions about incontinence wipes and surface wipes

What are the best wipes for incontinence care?

For everyday cleansing, choose large, thick body wipes or bath cloths, ideally fragrance-free. After continence changes, an all-in-one barrier cloth such as Clinell Contiplan, Sage Comfort Shield or 3M Cavilon cleanses and helps protect skin in one step. Use the wipe finder →

What is the difference between wet and dry incontinence wipes?

Wet body wipes come pre-moistened and are ready to use straight from the pack. Dry wipes let you choose how to use them. For example, TENA ProSkin Soft Wipes can be used dry or with a suitable cleansing product. Check the directions on the pack before adding a cleanser. See TENA ProSkin dry wipes or compare pre-moistened WaterWipes.

Can you use baby wipes on adults?

You can, but adult body wipes are larger and thicker, so you usually need fewer per change. For sensitive skin, choose a fragrance-free wipe such as WaterWipes. Baby wipes vs body wipes →

Are wet wipes flushable in Australia?

Our advice is to bin all wipes. Australian water utilities ask you to flush only the 3 Ps: pee, poo and toilet paper. Wipes, including plastic-free ones, can contribute to blocked pipes and sewers. Always follow the product's disposal instructions and your local water authority's advice.

What is a barrier cloth and when should I use one?

A barrier cloth cleanses, moisturises and leaves a protective layer on the skin in one step. It's handy after continence changes, especially for fragile skin. Whether you also need a separate barrier cream depends on your loved one's care plan, so check with their nurse or GP.

Can wet wipes cause skin irritation or rashes?

They can. Fragrance, alcohol and some preservatives can irritate fragile skin, and rubbing makes it worse. Pat gently, let skin dry and stop using a product that causes stinging or redness. Ongoing redness after leaks may be incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). Learn about IAD →

Can I use disinfectant surface wipes on skin?

No. Surface wipes such as Clinell Universal, V-Wipes and Milton are for surfaces and equipment only. Use a body wipe or barrier cloth for skin, and store the two types separately.

What does contact time mean on disinfectant wipes?

Contact time is how long a surface must stay visibly wet for the disinfectant to work. It's on the label and can differ by germ, so wipe enough to keep the surface wet for the full time, and remove visible dirt first if the label says so.

How many wipes should I order?

Packs needed = (wipes per day × days + spares) ÷ wipes per pack, rounded up. For example, 8 wipes a day for 30 days plus 20 spares is 260 wipes, or four packs of 80. Try the pack calculator →

Can I use NDIS funding for wipes?

Sometimes. Wipes aren't automatically funded. They need to relate to the participant's disability and meet their plan and funding rules. We're a registered NDIS provider. Check our NDIS page →

How does the free WaterWipes offer work?

The offer starts on 1 December 2026 and runs to 31 January 2027. Spend $250 or more after discounts, excluding delivery and gift cards, and a free WaterWipes Body & Intimate pack is added to your order. One per customer, while stocks last.
