Excellent product

I bought these to use following an operation when I wasn’t able to shower and found them to be exceptionally good. No stickyness residue just clean fresh skin. I’d highly recommend these body wipes and the intimate wipes. Perfect!

Coconut body wipes are great

"I purchased a bundle for my son to help him wash whilst in hospital after a major stomach operation. He found them very helpful and easy to use and he really liked the coconut smell. Much nicer than a flannel and more hygienic. Thank you."

Amazing shampoo caps

"I bought the set mainly for the shampoo caps but loved everything in there. I bought this as I am having an operation and won't be able to shower or wash my hair, what I have used leaves me feeling clean and refreshed. Highly recommend."

Amazing wipes

"Purchased these after seeing ads on facebook and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. I had an operation and couldn’t shower or anything due to my surgery and these wipes were amazing. Did. It dry out , smell was amazing and I felt fresh all day. Would highly recommend."

So beautifully refreshing

"I got ready for coming home after operation, as cannot shower. Well.. how refreshing and moist. I felt clean, brighter more human. Great things."

Fantastic!

"Could not have managed without these after a recent operation. So glad to have found them.”

Excellent wipes wish I had them months ago

"After botched hospital operation a few years ago was left struggling and had to use incontinence bags and then pads, SO PLEASED to have ordered them and feel better every day."

Not a Baby Wipe. Not a Workaround. An Actual Clean.

After an operation, recovery takes enough out of you. Your hygiene routine shouldn't get in the way. Freshwipes gives you back something simple but important: the ability to feel fresh, clean, and like yourself again - all at your pace, on your terms.

Most wipes mask odour. Freshwipes removes it. Our body wipes contain Chlorhexidine - the same antibacterial agent used in hospitals - which kills the bacteria that cause body odour at the source. Not perfumed over. Gone.

Our extra-large antibacterial body wipes and rinse-free shampoo caps help you remove sweat, dirt and odour in minutes - without needing water, a sink or a shower. Trusted by thousands of people across the UK when showering isn't possible.

Easy clean hair

"I tried this after an operation on my leg, making it difficult to shower in the first few days. It's really refreshing, easy to use and so nice to have clean hair post op. I have been using the fresh body and intimate wipes at the same time- also brilliant. I wanted to try all the products as well to see if they would be suitable for my 94 yr old mum and I would say a definite yes."

Sarah D. - verified customer
Excellent

"I got these wipes as was going into hospital for an ankle operation and knew that I would be non weight bearing for 10 days. The full body wipes, face and intimate wipes were invaluable and still are as can only shower alternate days with help. Thank you FreshWipes."

Hits the spot

"Came across your product online after looking for a solution to substandard usual toilet wipes. Your full body wipes really hit the spot as far as cleanliness is concerned. I’m so glad that I have found you! I had a radical cystectomy and urethrectomy just over a year ago. Huge operation. Big consideration but has paid off. Got another “cancer free” diagnosis last Thursday. The usual wet wipes supplied by the national health or those that you can buy in supermarkets may be good for babies, but not for an adult. The size and moistness of your product is fantastic and suits my needs really well. This is my first purchase and I’ll be back for more"

Alex F. - verified customer
A real game changer

"I initially bought the unscented Fresh Wipes to allow me to stay clean and fresh post a foot operation last September when I couldn’t safely shower on my own and couldn’t get the dressing wet. The wipes proved to be invaluable during the first couple of weeks until I couldn’t safely shower happily shower again but subsequent to that I use a Fresh Wipes to clean and freshen up after gardening rather than getting in the shower again."

Billys Mum - verified customer
Brilliant product

"After 2 cataract operations 4 weeks apart I was desperate to wash my hair & worried about normal washing. Fresh Wipes shampoo cap felt like a miracle. So easy to use on my own & great results. I am about to order again. Thank you."

"Superb, large cleansing wipe.You feel really fresh and clean after using this magical product.So glad i found.Great for pre and after operations.Thank you all very much."

The fifth emergency service

“As the AA cornered the ‘we are the fourth emergency service’ market, Fresh Wipes should be the fifth. I have used the wipes twice now after two operations which has prevented me from using the shower as often as I would like. I purchased the try me kit that includes the body wipes, facial and intimate wipes which saved me some money and is all I needed. They do keep me clean, smell clean and no odd stickiness after use. I highly recommend if you are unable to use the bath, shower etc. I now keep a pack on my boat on the odd days where I am not in a marina.”

Worked a treat and I'm an HGV Driver

"Body foam left me feeling fresh and clean after a very hot and sticky day, getting to a shower every night is not always guaranteed, Will add this to my reorder of wipes as and when I run low for emergencies"

Keith B - verified customer
Brilliant!

"I bought these for my husband who is a HGV driver and is away most nights. He loves them and says he’s never felt so clean after using wipes! Loves the coconut smell and his skin feels so soft and clean!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Need more information? You can find it right here.

Who are Freshwipes for?
 

Anyone who needs to stay fresh when showering isn't possible. Our customers include people recovering from surgery, those with limited mobility or chronic illness, carers looking after loved ones, menopausal women managing hot flushes, HGV drivers on long hauls, campers and festival-goers, hikers, parents, commuters, cyclists, and anyone juggling long shifts or busy days. 

If you've ever wished you could feel clean without the hassle of a full shower, Freshwipes are for you!

What are Freshwipes made from?
 

Plant-based cellulose fibres. Each wipe is roughly A4-sized, thick, biodegradable, and can be composted or binned.

Can I flush Freshwipes down the toilet?
 

The only things that should be flushed down the toilet are poo, pee, and (toilet) paper! Anything else should be responsibly disposed of in the bin, including Freshwipes.

What are the antibacterial ingredients, and are they safe?
 

Chlorhexidine Digluconate (found in Savlon and Corsodyl) and Benzalkonium Chloride. Both are low enough to avoid irritation, commonly used in hospitals and care settings, and strong enough to remove odour-causing bacteria.

Can I use Freshwipes all over?
 

Yes, on most external areas of your body. Avoid your face and eyes. If the product gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation continues.

Why are Freshwipes more expensive than baby wipes?
 

Baby wipes are small, thin, tear easily, and don't tackle body odour. You'd need 10+ to clean your whole body.

Freshwipes are:

  • Huge (30x20cm)
  • 10x wetter
  • Thick and durable
  • Biodegradable (not plastic)
  • Antibacterial – they remove odour, not spread it

Our 12-pack weighs nearly double a typical baby wipe pack (367g vs 100-200g) because each wipe is saturated with cleaning solution. Plus, free UK delivery is included.

Can I use your wipes if I'm allergic to Chlorhexidine?
 

Unfortunately not – our wipes and light floral shampoo caps contain Chlorhexidine (found in Savlon, Germolene, and some mouthwashes).

If you develop a red, itchy rash, wash the area with soap and water (soap deactivates Chlorhexidine) and stop using the product. Inform your doctor so they can update your medical notes.

Our rinse-free body cleansing foam and ocean fresh shampoo caps are Chlorhexidine-free!

Are Freshwipes suitable for children?
 

Yes, Freshwipes are suitable for children OVER the age of 3. For babies and toddlers, stick to products specifically designed for infant skin, such as baby wipes.

Are the Government banning wet wipes?
 

The short answer is no. The government is only banning plastic wet wipes, and Freshwipes do not contain plastic.

Do you offer samples?
 

Unfortunately not at this time.  If you would like to try a packet, please go ahead and order and you are welcome to return them if you are not happy for a full refund.  We have sold over 2M packs and have a return rate of less than 0.1%!

My item hasn't arrived what should I do?
 

Please allow 4-5 working days for standard delivery (although normally it is much quicker than that)  If your item is still not with you, please check that a neighbour or family member has not taken them in for you.   We send all items tracked, so please check your order confirmation for the tracking link (check your spam folder if you can't find it) - otherwise, please use the chat assistant function on our website which can help you locate your order.

I've come out in a rash, what should I do?
 

If you come out in a rash, have itchy skin, or experience any swelling after using our body wipes (or shampoo caps!), please wash the area with soap and water and discontinue use.  Please seek medical advice from your GP as you may have an allergy.   If medical advice is needed, please take the packet with you.

How many wipes are in a pack?
 

There are 12 extra-large antibacterial body wipes in each pack and 10 of the  20x15cm wipes in each pack of MINIS.
