Since becoming a parent, I’ve started looking at wipes the same way I look at nappies: how much am I paying for each one, and do I really want the bigger box? For me, six packs is plenty. The by Amazon Sensitive Baby Wipes multipack has 60 unscented wipes per pack: 360 altogether. That’s enough to keep one pack by the changing mat, one in the changing bag and four sealed until needed.

What I like about unscented wipes for nappy changes
I’d choose an unscented wipe because I want to clean up without leaving a perfume behind. A small pack is handy on a day out when you don’t have a bowl of warm water to hand. At home, cotton wool and plain warm water are an option too.
The NHS newborn essentials guide suggests gentle, non-scented, alcohol-free wipes if you use them. Check the ingredients on the pack you receive: “sensitive” on the label doesn’t tell you how your baby’s skin will respond. If you haven’t tried this type before, a single pack can be the better first buy.
Is six packs good value?
Divide the delivered price by 360. For example, if the six-pack costs £3.60, that’s 60p a pack or 1p a wipe. That’s an example, not a live Amazon price. A supermarket pack at 72p for 72 wipes would cost exactly the same per wipe, even though its pack price looks higher.
How many you pull out matters just as much. If two wipes come out together or an open pack dries out, the price on the shelf stops telling the whole story. Reseal the pack straight away and finish it before opening another in the same room. I wouldn’t order a second multipack just to reach a discount threshold.
Where a spare pack earns its place around the house
A fresh wipe is handy for a muddy pushchair wheel before it goes in the hallway, a drip on a wipe-clean changing bag, or a sticky mark on a plastic storage box. Check the surface care instructions first. For a whole table or a big spill, a damp washable cloth does more work and saves the wipes for the changing bag.
Baby wipes are for lifting away everyday mess. For food preparation surfaces or a job that needs disinfecting, use the appropriate cleaning product. Put used wipes in the bin, not the loo.
The Money Saving Assistant verdict
I’d shortlist this six-pack if you already know unscented wipes suit your baby and the delivered cost per wipe compares well with your usual shop. The attraction is having a spare where you need it without buying a cupboardful. For the other half of the changing bag, here’s how I compare Amazon own-brand nappies by cost per change.
