2 min readUpdated March 13, 2026

Pampers Baby Wipes are your go-to for clean ups which are gentle and protective for your little one's skin. Whoever’s on baby duty today…this one’s for you.

Little ones have a knack for timing, especially when it comes to diaper changes. Whether it’s a surprise mid-play moment or a post-nap discovery, the diaper routine (and the clean-up!) is a common part of your day.

That’s where Pampers Baby Wipes come in.

Did you know babies' delicate skin needs extra care?

From the moment they are born, your baby’s skin is hard at work, sensing their new world, regulating their temperature and protecting against irritants.¹·²

Did you know that a baby’s skin has a mildly acidic pH which develops a protective layer to keep their skin healthy? In the diaper area, skin comes into contact with pee and poo, which raises humidity and increases the skin’s pH, which in turn can damage the protective layer. As the skin’s pH rises, it activates poo enzymes which can irritate skin and even lead to diaper rash¹ .

Water cleans but doesn’t protect baby’s skin

Wiping with water and cotton alone² may not be enough to effectively clean your baby’s delicate skin or restore its natural, slightly acidic pH level.

This is where our Pampers wipes can help! Designed with a drop of unique lotion, they help restore the skin’s natural pH, supporting skin’s protective layer and protect it from unwanted redness! Let’s have a closer look…

Pampers Baby Wipes are formulated with the dual combination of superior cleaning and skin protection, thanks to their unique pH buffering system- our wipes help remove the mess while restoring skin’s natural pH - better than cotton wool and water.³
