Waschies Baby Pads – Sustainable care for delicate baby skin
Anyone who holds a newborn in their arms immediately notices: This skin is different. More delicate, more permeable, and more in need of protection. At the same time, everyday baby life brings with it a high need for cleansing – especially in the diaper area. Many parents reach for conventional wet wipes out of habit. But there is a better, gentler, and above all, more sustainable alternative: Waschies Baby Pads. In this article, you'll learn why these reusable wash pads are not only good for your baby, but also for the environment.
Why sustainable baby care is important
Daily care needs: Newborns are changed several times a day. With each diaper change, the delicate skin in the intimate area is cleaned – often with wet wipes, which not only generate waste but also contain preservatives, perfumes, and other skin-irritating chemicals.
Problem area wet wipes
Most conventional wet wipes are made of plastic fibers and are not biodegradable. Millions of wipes end up in the trash every day—or worse, in the toilet and then in our waterways. This places a significant burden on the environment.
Washies as an environmentally friendly alternative
Waschies are reusable, washable cleaning pads that contain no harsh ingredients. They are made from a special combination of microfiber and viscose – exceptionally soft yet extremely effective at cleaning.
The advantages of Waschies baby pads
Gentle on baby skin
Washies require no additives. Used with just water, they clean thoroughly yet gently – ideal for newborns and babies with sensitive skin or skin prone to atopic dermatitis.
Free from chemicals and fragrances
Unlike wet wipes, Waschies contain no irritating ingredients. No alcohol, no preservatives, no perfumes – just pure cleanliness with water.
Reusable and hygienic
Waschies are machine washable at up to 95°C. This makes them particularly hygienic – perfect for daily baby care. One set is enough for many months of intensive use.
Sustainable and resource-saving
Once purchased, Waschies replace hundreds of disposable products. This saves money, reduces waste, and conserves resources – without compromising on the quality of care.
Versatile
In addition to changing diapers, the pads are also practical for the face, bathing or breastfeeding – whenever gentle cleansing is required.
Use in everyday life – It’s that easy
step by step
1. Moisten washies with warm water
2. Gently stroke the area to be cleaned
3. Rinse with clean water after use or collect
4. Machine wash at 60–95 °C and allow to air dry
Care tips
- Do not use fabric softeners – they stick the fibers together
- Collect in a small laundry net
- Regular washing ensures permanent hygienic cleaning
